  • 960×720 ftg looks squished in AE

    I’m working w/ some green screen ftg. Captured in Final Cut at HD (960×720) w/ DVCPro HD 720p 60 codec. I export the ftg., w/ no compression, million colors, at current size, which strangely shows up as 637×358. I import that in AECS3. It comes in at 960×720 but it looks squooshed. I key it and render it w/ animation codec at 960×720. I import that back into final cut (or avid) and it looks fine. This is how I have always done it.

    The problem today is that I have to provide my client with a matte and a fill. When I give them the rendered file from AE (QT file) it looks squooshed. The client will use these files in flash which I know nothing about. They want to know why the QTs I provided them look wrong. Can anybody explain?

    [Dave LaRonde] “Use the “scale the layer to fit the comp” command, Command-option-f.”

    If the composition is using a 1.33 PAR then you shouldn’t even need to scale the layer to fit, instant gratification!… After a render…
