    Please help, I’m creating a video and doing a bit of typography in it but I’m noticing that whenever I change the rotation of an object be it text or a picture, the aspect ratio changes some which is really bugging me. I’ve never had this problem before. I am working with CS.5. Please help!

    Can you post a screenshot?

    It’s possible that you’re seeing some perspective distortion caused by your camera settings. A wide-angle lens would exaggerate the apparent change in shape of a rotating object.

    Maybe Pixel aspect ratio switch is not ON for non-square comp (IE Widescreen DV) or wrong interpretation of PAR?
