pixelaspect ratio in vegas
hi all,
I started a new PAL DV STD project in Vegas 7.0e . In that the pixel Aspect ratio was mentioned as the 1.0926 . So i created certain images in Photshop cs2 with that same pixelaspect ratio. when i put the images in the timeline and when i see their properties , it shows pixel aspect ratio is 1.000 instead of 1.0926 . i have around 100 images .so manually correcting each one them or i should do an additional step or a script to change that value ? -

Hi,
If you’re about to add pictures:
add a picture, rightclick it on the timeline, choose properties.
Set up waht you need, then click the small disk icon to save settings.
The following pictures should be added with the newly set up properties (aspect ratio).Another way is (if you already added them) to slightly resize the track with track motion, practically you get the same effect…
Hope I could help.

You’ll do better resizing/cropping with Pan/crop vs TM, if maintaining full resolution is important.
Additionally, for PAL photos, you want them to be 704 x 576 or let Vegas scale them for you rather than trying to batch them externally.Douglas Spotted Eagle

[DSE/Spot] “You’ll do better resizing/cropping with Pan/crop vs TM”
You’re absolutely right, I just thought of TM because if it’s
about tons of photos, that means tons of pan/crop while TM is done at once…(assuming pictures are the same size)

Well…with Pan/Crop, the beauty is that a Match Aspect Ratio script can be run, both Excalibur and Ultimate S offer this feature, or there is a free Match Aspect Ratio script on the VASST site that will batch process hundreds/thousands of images at one shot. Vegas makes this so very easy/fast…:-)

Why is that ? -
Because DV is a non-square pixel aspect ratio. Photoshop only works in square pixels, so by working with square pixels imported to a non-square format, the pixels will elongate correctly with this size.
Frankly, I rarely worry about it unless I’m dealing with titles or images that I absolutely can’t use Pan/Crop with.Douglas Spotted Eagle
