960×540?
We’ve just received some AE affiliate templates all the comps are set to 960×540. I haven’t worked in this size before and am not too familiar with it seeing as we always work in 720×486. How to we get this out looking correctly? Is it going to have to be letterboxed?

Dan,
looks as though the templates were square pix and we’re working in (D1/DV .9)….i think we’ll have to scale them down to 486 (looks like %90) high and it’ll cut off the side a bit…i hope…
we’re having the same problem as you.

it sounds like a slightly unusual 16:9 square pixel resolution (960×540 would match a 16:9 ratio).
the ideal sitution would be to conform them to either d1 or dv widescreen and hitting scale to fit, but, if your not broadcasting in 16:9, you’ll probably just want to lose the sides and put it in a standard d1/dv comp (either square or .9 depending on your workflow) and choose fit height.

This looks like a misguided attempt to generate D1 square pixel widescreen content. Just as 720 X 540 projects must be scaled to 90% for them to fit in a D1 720 X 486 comp, this must be scaled to 90% to fit in a 720 X 486 widescreen comp. There is no advantage in scaling to 90% in this case. In fact, you’ll suffer a bit of quality loss.
If you add any footage to the preset it must be deinterlaced and scaled up.
