MPEG2 Rendering issue with Black bars
Let me start off with what I am doing in AE.
I’m creating a menu in the comp at 720 x 540 and stretching it to 720 x480 right before I render, to compensate for the square and non-square pixel aspect ratio. Once I render the MPEG2 out it will have black bars on each side of the image with about 3-4 pixels on each side. Now when I render out a jpg sequence or a quicktime movie they will not have these black bars on either side. Is this a problem with the encoder? Is there a solution to this? I’m working in After Effects 7 standard.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!

Try precomping and stretching the precomp, not the render stretch.

Thank you both for your input. Precomp Stretching worked! I guess it was the AE encoder after all. Thanks!

yes, AE mpeg encoder bypasses the stretch filter. It’s dumb, i know.
