  graphic aspect ratio

  Posted by Fred on June 5, 2007 at 11:02 am

  Hi,

  just double checking.
  I was given an animation project from Flash with a document size of 864 x 540. They want a 4:3 video.
  I assume flash works with Square Pixels.
  I export a quicktime from flash at 864 x 540.
  I place the 864 x 540 quicktime file into a 720 x 486 After Effects comp.
  I scale the 864 x 540 quicktime file to 90% inside the 720 x 486 AE comp.
  I render out and use the 720 x 486 AE comp in Final Cut Pro.

  thus

  I get a 720 x 486 4:3 video with the “correct” dimensions of the original graphic artwork that will display correctly on SD NTSC TV.

  That sound right?

  They also said they might want it widescreen. which I would assume would be the 16:9 1280x 720. I know these are the wrong dimensions, but that’s what they created the artwork at. I can export from flash at any size, then squish or crop in After Effects. Any suggestions?

  -Thanks Y’all
