Little Help Please with Pixel Aspect Ratio
Ok
I have a project that is set up as 720 x 480 16:9. My source footage matches the 1.2 Pixel aspect Ratio of a 16:9 project.When I go to export the final movie I want to use the quicktime/animation format as the compressor. I have 1.2 16:9 selected as the option in the dialog box for the compressor settings. When it renders, it renders it as 0.9 aspect instead. It does render it 1.2 if I select the Microsoft DV AVI/DV NTSC. However the file is a lot smaller and I am assuming I am losing some quality with this compressor.
What am I doing wrong with the quicktime compressor.

Are you sure that the QT file is .9 or does it just look like it. What I mean is, have you confirmed what the pixel aspect ratio is through QTs “Movie Inspector”? If it just looks off when you open it in QT that’s because you’re viewing it on a monitor (1:1) and not through PPro or another program that might pixel aspect ratio correction to compensate for a square pixel monitor.

After I render it it adds it to the project where Ppro identifies it as such. I was able to work around it by using the adobe encoder vs the export movie dialog.

QT is a pain in the ain. You need to set the File>Export>Movie…QT this needs to be setup as a SqPxl export so not anamorphic, do the math of hieght of video divided by 9, take this number and times by 16 for the SqPxl PAR width for a 16×9 export that QT will then understand.
