  Exporting 1280 x 720 (1.0) f4v to website, vimeo, and more -aspect ratio changes

  Posted by Larry Watts on November 8, 2011 at 3:58 pm

  Our animator gave us a 1280 x 720 (1.0) f4v (square pixels) file and I am trying to encode it as a QT for our website, vimeo, you tube etc. When I do a get a movie that is not the same exact aspect ratio. It looks less wide than 16 x 9, but not 4×3 either.

  I have a file in 1.0 and 1.2 and neither match the 1280 x 720

  What settings do I use to achieve proper aspect ratio?

  Thanks

  I’m sorry, perhaps I’m just confused by how you’ve presented your problem.

  1. Your animator gave you 1280 x 720 (1.0) file.

  2. You’re using Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to 1280 x 720 (1.0) in flv (flash video) format.

  3. You played it back and it didn’t look right.

  4. You tried exporting 1280 x 720 (1.2) and it still didn’t look right.

  Sound about correct? If you’re using Premiere, did you stick it in a sequence that has different settings than your source player? Where are you playing your flv’s with?

  your right!
  I missed giving some info.

  The file was giving to us in F4v format and too big for our needs.

  I was trying to render smaller .mov files and flv files.

  I’m new to Premiere so I don’t know if I set the sequence settings properly.

  I read that most players don’t recognize anamorphic so I went back and created a square pixel file at
  854×480 and that rendered right as QT mov.

  The webmaster was on a PC using windows media player and I’m on a Mac Pro.

  Try this:

  1. Open Premiere, make sure your flv is imported in your library panel.

  2. Drag your video file and drop it on the icon at the bottom of the library that you click to create a new sequence. This is a shortcut to match your created sequence exactly to the video you have.

  3. Export your timeline as FLV, 854×480, square pixel, and so on. You should be fine.

  854×480, like you stated before is 16:9 and since you aren’t messing with PAR (pixel aspect ratios) changes then there should be no stretching or compression of the image.
