  Background wider than composition in export only

  Posted by Jen Skingley on October 12, 2015 at 6:30 am

  Hi All

  Hoping somebody can suggest something…i’ve spent a good deal of time trying to sort this problem out and can’t seem to manage it.

  I’m making an edit to a composition that had previously been rendered without issues (changed a single graphic).

  Now whenever I render, I notice that the background colour is poking out on both left/right sides, beyond the edge of my composition.

  When I view the composition at various % sizes inside of AE, everything looks great. I only notice the edges once I export.

  I’ve tried increasing the size of my composition past the edges of the ‘art board’ so to speak, almost like creating a bleed around the edges…nothing seems to work.

  I have not changed any settings since the last time, so i’m very confused about what is happening.

  Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance 🙂

  Post some screen grabs of the final result and your AE timeline setup and render settings.

  From this still ( https://images.creativecow.net/302756/render1.jpg ) I can see that AE sees a mismatch (lower left corner). Click that and see what AE is noticing – it may be a pixel aspect ratio
