  • preview video showing true widescreen, but changes after exporting

    Posted by Illegible_mess on July 19, 2006 at 1:57 am

    i just finished editing a small video with adobe premiere pro 2.0, and all throughout editing, the preview screen showed the widescreen ratio perfectly. (i believe when i created the new project i selected “DV – NTSC > Widescreen 48kHz”) once i was all finished with the video, i exported it with all default settings, except using Microsoft AVI, rather than Microsoft DV AVI. when it was done exporting, i went to watch the video, and it seemed the aspect ratio had been altered, thus making the video looked somewhat mashed.

    i’m not an expert with adobe premiere by far, and i’m pretty sure if i CAN fix the problem, i’ll be able to do it in the exporting options. can anyone help me out? thank you.

    The microsoft AVI subset has hundreds of possible combinations and it would be difficult for us to know what you chose there. I suggest you stick and render to Microsoft DV widescreen, Make/Export Movie to a single file and work from that file (convert or transcode, etc). That way, it would be easier for you to figure out what’s wrong.

    Download and install an application called G-Spot. Select the generated AVI file and post the dimensions of the video file. After getting this info, we may be able to assist you better.

    Thanks!

    I don’t believe that the default will get you widescreen. Make sure you tell it that you want it to be widescreen by using 720X480 at a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2

    And even then it will only be widescreen on players that understand non square pixels. And for what reason did you use a generic AVI instead of DV AVI?
