Creating Movies for 16×9
I’m sure this has been answered before so my apologies. We shot footage in 16×9 SD and need to create lower thirds in AE. What are my composition settings so everything matches? Thanks.

Use the comp preset for D1 widescreen if you shot D1, or the DV widescreen preset if you shot DV.
To make it look normal on the computer screen as you work, hit the Pixel Aspect Ratio correction switch under the comp window.

Thanks. We’re on an older version (6.5) but took your advice and went 720×540 with the widescreen pixel (1.2). It looks like it does the same thing…

No! Not 720×540 with widescreen pixel! Use 864×486, square pixel! Then drag it into a D1 widescreen or DV widescreen preset comp for rendering.
Don’t ever mix square pixel sizes (720×540) with non-square (1.2) PARs.
Go to the tutorials page and search for Rick Gerard’s tutorials, specifically “pixel madness” or “Dr. Strangepixel”.
