Exporting Size Ratio Problem
This is exactly what I do,
File > export > movie > settings > Microsoft DV AVIthen i go to the video tab for export movie settings and use D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2) to export
After i finish exporting, it comes out as 1.333.
How come it’s not coming out as 16:9?? When I started the project it was in 16:9 too.

Hi Andrew,
The footage is actually (pixel for pixel) an anamorphic picture, meaning it’s widescreen only when interpreting the instruction to stretch the pixels from a square shape to a wide rectangle. What’s happening with your export is that the media is being interpreted as 4:3 based on the pixel count not the stretch instruction. You need to reinterpret. If you are using this for broadcast or DVD – leave it.
If you want only to watch it on your computer, QT has problems interpreting anamorphic, Windows media player should do it… then you need to re-export with square pixel widescreen.
To do this, take the height of the picture and divide that by 9. Take the 1/9th figure and multiply that by 16. now you have your width. Make the export settings these numbers and set ratio to square. Now it will always playback in the right frame ratio.
(This is not a recognised broadcast to tape or DVD format ratio)

Will that work when uploading to services like Vimeo? They recommend 880 x 480 (I think) for SD widescreen, but when I do that, I get black bars on each side of the frame.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I have the size, 800/450, but when I try to export it, the export size of the video won’t let me type anything in. Its set at 720/480 and wont change.
Any ideas?

That’s because you’re using the DV preset.
You need to work in Windows or Quicktime or output with Adobe Media Encoder…
What are you rendering it to…for? DVD, TV Broadcast, PC playback, web?
