rendering footage that is 16:9 ends up 4:3
Hey all,
I have a comp setup using preset HDV 1080/29.97, width is 1440 x 1080, PAR is HDV1080 and Frame Rate is 29097. Resolution is “full.”
It’s just a text effect.
A few questions about rendering:
I’ve tried to render this 2 second clip in all sorts of varieties, using a number of settings, including the “stretch” checkbox. Why is my final output clearly a 4:3 quicktime?
My render settings:
Quality = best
resolution =full
size 1440 x 1080
Use OpenGL Renderer = checked (Open GL support)Time sampling, I’ve made no chages
Frame Rate: Use Comp’s frame rate (29.97)OUTPUT MODULE SETTINGS
Format = quick time movie
video output > Format Options > AnimationStretch = unchecked, but “Lock Aspect ration to 4:3” is checked and grayed out. I’ve tried checking off “Stretch” and then unchecking the “Lock Aspect Ration to 4:3” but have gotten the same output in either case
Crop is unchecked
Audio output is unchecked as there is no audio.
Where am I going wrong? I end up with a 4:3 movie no matter what I try. I need the footage to stay 16:9 so I can bring it into FCP, where all my footage is 16:9.
Thank you. I hope this made sense.

I think I figured it out.
Let me guess: is 1440 x 1080 a 4:3 PAR?

Ok, So I check off “stretch” in Output Module Settings, then change the width to 1920 and height to 1080, which gives me a checkbox that says “Lock Aspect Ratio to 16:9”
How do I make that a “permanent” setting so it always outputs that way?
Thanks, guys and dolls.

Search the help for “templates”.

1440 X 1080 is a 4 X 3 ratio of pixels. when you throw in the pixel ratio then you get 16 by 9 picture.
If your ouptut or capture from final cut is 1440 X 1080, then your render from After effects should be the same size. fc should take care of the par.
