Editing widescreen video
My camera shoots in widescreen and I’ve been having problems with it in After Effects. After it exports, it’s shrunk horizontally cause it think it’s fullscreen or something. Is there a certain file type I have to export it as for it to stay widescreen? I’m also experiencing quality loss, even though it’s selected as uncompressed when I export it. Any advice?

Assuming it’s DV-NTSC, import the footage and make sure it’s interpreted with a widescreen pixel aspect ratio of 1.2. If not, reinterpret the footage (file>interpret footage>main) so it does. Drag the footage onto the new comp button at the bottom of the project window. Then to make it look normal while you work, use the Pixel Aspect Ratio correction button at the bottom of the comp window.
Any questions?

If you are using Premiere you need to select the DV Widescreen Project type and it automatically is set for 1.2 pixel aspect ratio..

Thanks for the help, everyone. I wasn’t able to locate the button to view it properly while in after effects, but it exports in widescreen and that’s what matters.
