    I’m using a DV PAL widescreen comp and using partical effect. when I adjust the pixel aspect preview the particals are being streched horizontally.

    how can i stop this so they show correctly round?

    You could make a larger comp with square pixels and a transparent background and put your particle effects on that. Then nestle that comp as a layer in a your widescreen comp. You can scale the particle layer so the particle pixels stay square

    Assuming you are speaking of Trapcode’s Particular, work in a square pixel comp (1024×576). Neither of the Trapcode plugins is pixel aspect ratio aware. Same goes for several other standard AE plugins and my also aplly to CC particle effects.
