MAD 1.2/0.9 problem on rendering
Well hello there.
So I´m having an insane umbelivable problem.
I am working on a widescreen NTSC DV project.
Everything on the project has a 1.2 aspect. All the comps are widescreen. Most of the things are PSD elements. Some are video. I´ve rendered earlier versions and came up with 1.2 widescreen video.
Everything was just fine. Then….
This was supposed to be the last change on the video. I took tWo scenes out of it and hit CTRL+M. But this time, it came out 0.9!!!
I just can´t seem to render the whole video on widescreen anymore. But if I render each element on its own, it cames out ok. Only problem is I´m doing it for a DVD. I tryed to put the pieces together on premiere but it came out with a terrible quality. (rendered using the LOSSLESS preset)
I triple checked everything. I´m 4 hours late to deliver the damn thing and I going insane.
Anybody has some sort of tip, experience or even a magic wand?
Here are the settings:
NTSC DV widescreen preset on the comps.
29.97FPS
Everything is set to 1.2 aspect ratio.
Rendering with the lossless preset.
I´m on a PC runnning CS3.Well I don´t know what to try anymore.
Hope I could have made myself clear enough. I´m a bit confused…and very very upset.
Hope it´s all my fault and things end up going well.
Cheers.
(HELP!)

Thanx for the answer dave. I´ll try the authoring tip but I think it won´t work.
I´m not just seeing it squeezed. I look up the project window when I select the footage and the info tells me that. And even worse the end result is also “fielded”. (lower first)
I´m really going nuts. Trying to render it on another PC now. Hope it works.
Well I´ll keep on going.
Thanx again Dave.
Cheers.

Check your render settings and output module and make sure you’re not telling it to change something without you realizing it. Then check that when the video comes in to your editing program that the settings are right on that end (FCP has a switch for “Anamorphic” on each piece of footage – not sure what Premiere does).
Also check to make sure that whatever timeline you’re bringing the elements together in (AE or Premiere) is set to the proper settings as well.
If none of that turns out to be the problem – you talk about rendering out different sections. Are you bringing all those sections together as comps nested into a longer comp to render out, or are you rendering out pieces of one big comp, and the problem occurs when you render the big comp?
If you continue to experience problems, write back with more details!
Good luck,
Steve
