  • How do I render anamorphic NTSC 16:9 ration in AE?

    Hi,

    I’ve just been asked to render a piece anamorphic NTSC 16:9 ratio in Afterr Effects. I understand how to set the pixel aspect ration to anamorphic. But which setting do I use for the NTSC preset?

    Thank you!

    Thanks Dave!

    My client it telling me that his footage is full screen at 486, does that make this D1?

    Thank you sooooo much!

    Hi Dave,

    Ok, so I already have everything already laid out in a comp and animating. When I change the comp settings to 960x 540 with square pixels and I scale layer to fit comp it REALLY distorts the image, so much that I can’t recognize what it is. When I then make a new comp and set it NTCS d1 720×486 and scale the layer it doesn’t change much.

    Is there a way to fix this without have to reanimate all the layers?

    Thank you!

    Hi Dave,

    Yes it is…the original specs I got were: 16:9 anamorphic NTSC 486 lines, full screen render into a quicktime to be placed in FCP

    I really appreciate your simple and clear explanation. I think I’ll go in and re-examine the set up and see where the problem is.

    Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it!

    Hey Dave,

    One last question….If I set set my comp’s settings to NTSC D1, isn’t that a 4:3 ratio instead of 16:9?

    Thank you,

    Heather

    ah I see…thank you for clarifying that for me!

    I really appreciate all the time you’ve taken and information you’ve given.
