  QT imported into AE, comp settings??

  Hi there!!! ok, here is my question:

  I am shooting a film on NTSC/ DV Widescreen 16:9. After importing my QT into AE I saw two black bars on the right and left of the image, the animation looked fine but I couldn’t get rid of the bars!

  My comp settings were:

  720X480 NTSC DV Widescreen
  aspect ratio: DV Widescreen 1.2 (I also tried 1.33)= was giving me a squeezed images + black bars..

  aspect ratio: square pixels (it says in samll 3:2 frame aspect ratio)= normal image + black bars

  Now I’ve changed the settings and looks perfect like this:

  720X480 NTSC DV
  aspect ratio: D1/DV NTSC (O.9)

  If I am shooting in a QT preset to NTSC/ DV Widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, when I import this QT into AE, why do I have to change that ratio to 0.9 in order to make disappear the bars and to see a non-squeezed image???

  I heard that DVD final movs can be made at 720X480 size dimensions, is that correct?

  Thank you!!!
  Esther
