    Hi everyone,

    I’m having a problem with rendering a clip on AE.
    In my composition settings, I’ve set D1/DV PAL Widescreen (1.46). However, AE keeps rendering a file with a different aspect ratio (1.0926 instead of 1.4568), and also renders it as Upper field first instead of Lower field first. I’m using Sony Vegas as my editing program, and all the other clips I have there have 1.4568+Lower, so it looks totally wrong next to them. When I correct the settings of this clip in Vegas to the correct ones, it gets cropped pretty bad.
    I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong in the rendering process on AE – can anyone please help? Is there someplace else I need to enter settings except for “Composition Settings”?

    Thanks a lot!
    Jen.

    Make sure your Footage is Interpreted correctly.

    Select you footage in Project panel, Right click>Interpret Footage>Main.

    See the Image Below:

    After Interpreting it correctly, You can Drag the Footage in the New Comp Icon as has Dave Suggested.

    Hi,

    Yes, I’m dragging the video onto the Make New Composition icon in order to create the composition, and the settings in the Interpret Footage window are fine. But somehow the rendering process creates a file that has a different pixel aspect ratio and field order. I don’t see any place in the Render Queue where I can input the correct settings…

    In Render Queue, Click on Best Settings to open the Render Settings and then choose the Correct Field to render.

    OK, figured this out, it was because it was taken with a different camera than the other shots. Guess I’ll have to crop it… thanks!
