    I’m almost embarrassed to ask this question but I have a D1/PAL (1.07) comp into which I drag my DV footage and it fits fine … when i bring in a Photoshop still that I’ve created at 720 x 576 square pixels it comes into the comp too small on the x axis … anyone point me in the right direction please … I know I can hit (cntrl, alt F on the PC to make it fit but there must be something I’m doing wrong) … thanks for your time … Roger

    switching the interpretation of your imported photoshop file to D1 non-square pixel aspect should fix the problem. If you wanna work with square pixels, you should use a size of 768×576, not 720×576
