  widescreen question

  Posted by Paolo Mugnaini on April 1, 2007 at 2:48 am

  Hello….again,
  After I finished my comp I’ve tried to export it, now my settings are 720X480 on a 3:2 ratio, but when I render it is not widescreen….I’ve tried to make it custom by checking the widescreen button but still it comes out as if it was wide and got aspected to reg.
  what is the solution?
  thanks
  P

  If you’re working to make 16×9 NTSC footage you should be compositing in a 720×480 composition with a 1.2 pixel aspect ratio. This is accessible in the composition settings, cmd-k (Mac) ctrl-k (Win).

  If you’re viewing the finished render at a square pixel aspect ratio then it will appear to be squashed horizontally. As for the ‘widescreen button’… I don’t know what that is =)
