1920×1080 comes out as 1440×1080
Working on a project in Premier CS6, editing native .M2TS files in a ProRess422 1920×1080 square pixels setting. When I export through media encoder I am having to switch to XDCAM HD 1080p at 1920×1080 with square pixels, BUT when I bring it back into Premier it shows up as 1440×1080 and is all distorted….. Opening in quicktime, everything looks good and not distorted, but the specs say it is 1440×1080…..
Anyone know where in the process it is getting switched to 1440 instead of 1080?
Thanks for any input and please let me know if I need to provide more details.

if its 1920 in premiere then coming out of compressor at 1440
it’s gotta be changing it there.is your deliverable xdcam?

Yeah the network is not accepting ProRess422 but they will accept XDCAM. It’s odd because my settings in media encoder show 1920 and not 1440, but final output is at 1440 for some odd reason.

are there other settings for xdcam encoding?
could be a profile as there are different options for xdcam.
try changing to higher bitrates maybe.

If I remember correctly XDCAM codec is specced at 1440×1080. If you need to render out with a 1:1 PAR you’ll need to use another codec.

I checked it out and the XDCAM HD 422 50 codec seems to be square pixel 1920×1080 the lower bitrate ones are 1440×1080.

Looks like that did the trick. Strange though because I set it as 1920×1080 for the size….. I guess the video codec setting overrides that.
Exporting at XDCAM422 gives you the true 1920×1080
Thanks for all the input.

[Corey Holtgard] “I guess the video codec setting overrides that.”
I’ve seen that before with other codecs.
They are locked into a particular resolution regardless of what you set.Glad to hear you found the solution.
