  Pixel Aspect Ratio

  Posted by Lostcanuck on June 13, 2007 at 2:38 am

  I’m working with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and Particle Illusion 3.0. My job is to add effects to my already edited footage that was exported in Premiere.

  I exported as the following:
  File Type: Microsoft AVI
  Frame Size: 720 x 480
  Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)

  As far as I know, PI 3.0 only accepts videos with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9, therefore, the footage above becomes stretched vertically when imported. So my question is… Can PI 3.0 import videos with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 and also export with the same ratio of 1.2?

  or…

  Should I export my footage from Premiere with an aspect ratio of 0.9? And if so, what would the new frame size be? I don’t want anything to stretch…

  Please help.

  Thanks,
  Chris Schultz

  particleIllusion only reads things as having a 1.0 pixel aspect ratio, and that’s the best way to bring footage into it. That would make 720×480 at 1.2 into a 864×480 size.
