  Correct settings for footage 960 x 720 rendered in Final Cut

  Posted by Chance Norris on January 7, 2008 at 1:42 am

  How do you set up the comp in AE with footage from Final Cut 960 x 720?

  Why does AE not know how to handle these files?

  Thanks

  960×720 sounds like it’s DVCPRO HD 720p (or something similar), which has a 1.33 pixel aspect ratio in order to reduce file size. Interpret your footage with a 1.33 PAR (select the footage and hit cmd-f on Mac, ctrl-f on PC).

  In older versions of AE it was appropriate to interpret that material as 1280×720 square pixels. Try either.
