1024*768

Posted by Prathyush Kumar on April 27, 2015 at 11:26 am

Hi Everyone,

I am doing a small title small animation for my client, it is to playback on their monitor placed in conference hall. So first i made my animation on 1920*1080 assuming that it is a LCD TV, but they said its not playing back properly, so asked the specs, in reply they gave me a video clip which is 1024*768 and its playing distorted(Stretched) in my computer.

Since its a basic title animation i did that again on after effects composition (1024*768). Now they say it is playing back smoothly but the image is distorted.

Where i went wrong. My AE setting is 1024*768, Square pixels(1.33).

Please help me.

Thank you

Ask them for the make and model number of the monitor so you can check the settings yourself.

Also, find out what they are playing it on, example PowerPoint 4:3 or PowerPoint set for widescreen.

If memory serves me correctly, 1024 X 768 is SD, not HD, and does not use square pixels. Sounds like your client is using an old video projector…

Hi Dave,

I created the animation on After Effects only. Please find the screen grab of my After Effects Composition Settings and the movie specs provided by client.

Thank you

[Dave LaRonde] “FCP deals in standard broadcast horizontal & vertical resolutions, and 1024×768 isn’t one of them.”

Are you 100% certain Dave? That was a very common widescreen SD format in the day.

Broadcast SD was never square pixel 16:9…only anamorphic. From what I recall from EONS ago.

That’s precisely what I thought…
