  • Aspect Ratio from FCP to AE????

    Posted by Tim Kuhlman on November 5, 2007 at 8:58 am

    Can someone help me with exporting from FCP an HDV clip to After Effects? What I am doing is trying to export an HDV clip from FCP to AE but when I import it into AE the aspect ratio is all off. I have an HDV 1080i50 easy setup timeline and I am exporting from that as a quicktime movie (not conversion) with the current settings. When I bring that into AE I have a HDV comp set up and I drop the FCP movie into that comp. My FCP movie is 1920 X 1080 and is bigger thant the AE HDV Comp. Why? Shouldn’t the sizes be the same since they are HDV? Please help

    In AE you must make a composition with the same parameters of the FC sequence.
    Then when you import the FC clip make sure that “INTERPRETE FOOTAGE” is properly set.
    AE need you tell him the aspect ratio of your footage and the kind of pixels, as well as the field order.
