  Pixel Aspect Ratio

  Posted by Robert Hoisan on June 2, 2014 at 12:59 pm

  Hi,

  i need some info on how to set up the correct format for a tv ad i am working on. The ad will be showed on a UK TV station.

  They sent me this format instructions:

  Format

  AVI MOV

  Video Settings
  Frame Size: 720 x 576
  Frame Rate: 25.00 frames/second
  Field Order: Upper
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.067
  Fields: Upper Fields First

  The ad will be built in AE entirely. But when i make a new Comp i can see various PAL settings for Pixel Aspect Ratio but none of them is 1.067. See attach.

  Please advise on what settings should i choose in AE to match their format.

  That looks like the PAL-DV PAR, but AE seems to be using a 1.09 PAR instead of 1.067. I’d imagine you’d be fine using that preset, but perhaps you might want to talk to one of their engineers.
