  Hi there!

  Got a bit of a problem and after 2 hours of searching have not found a solution anywhere!

  I have a HD video i need to add effects to in After Effects but when i import After Effects sees the file as 960×540, when the file is actually 1920×1080.

  Using a 1920x1080comp and scaling to 200% shows quality loss compared to the original footage played in Quicktime.

  Heres the files details:

  Video
  ID : 1
  Format : ProRes
  Codec ID : apch
  Codec ID/Hint : HQ
  Duration : 2mn 40s
  Bit rate mode : Variable
  Bit rate : 148 Mbps
  Width : 1 888 pixels
  Original width : 1 920 pixels
  Height : 1 062 pixels
  Original height : 1 080 pixels
  Display aspect ratio : 16:9
  Frame rate mode : Constant
  Frame rate : 23.976 fps
  Color space : YUV
  Chroma subsampling : 4:2:2
  Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 3.082
  Stream size : 2.76 GiB (99%)
  Language : English
  Encoded date : UTC 2001-01-01 01:01:21
  Tagged date : UTC 2001-01-01 01:06:37

  Any help or pointers will be very much appreciated.

  Many thanks
  Chris

  Unfortunatly as I wasn’t involved in the filming/editing/exporting I can’t tell you.

  All I know is that it was originally shot on RED.

  As the video plays fine at full 1920 in Quicktime Player, is there any way i can re-encode it for use in After Effects?

  Also Adobe media encoder and Adobe Premiere also see the file as 960×540

  Thanks for you help
  Chris
