“squeezing” or “smushing” graphics-help ASAP
HI all,
I’m in a bind and need help ASAP for a project.For the last 2 projects that I have done in Premiere Pro, it has “squeezed” a still image at the top part of the image. The image is fine in Photoshop and even on the PC monitor in the timeline, but it looks squuezed at the top on 2 different TV monitors. Like I said before, it did it on a previous project as well, but not as bad.
Any idea what is causing this? -

What are your project settings?
What were they before when you didn’t have the problem?
What size is the image?

720×480 NTSC
The background is 720×480
The logo is 492×122The logo is the one that is squeezing. I always use the same project settings.

Are the pixels mapping incorrectly?
The logo is most likely square pixel (?) and DV project settings are .9 pixel aspect in a 4×3 project and 1.2 in a 16×9 project.
If you right-click the logo in the Project Window, select “Interpret footage and see what it says about pixel aspect. If it says.9, try changing it to 1.0…if it says 1.0, try changing it the other way…etc.
I’m not really clear on exactly what you’re seeing so this would be the first place I’d look.

It said .9, so I changed it to 1.0, but that didn’t seem to work.

Also, I just noticed this…
I am dissolving into the clip using the opacity settings in the Effects Controls box. If I go frame by frame, I can tell that the edges look straight at the beginning of the dissolve, but the closer it gets to 100% the more warped it looks at the top of the logo. Then it straightens back up when I dissolve out. -

RGB values for NTSC gfx should be set fro the brightest at 235 and the darkest at 16. If it’s color saturation, back it off a bit.

I’m not by that machine right now, but I’d be willing to bet that you just hit the nail on the head. The last 2 images that did that had white backgrounds. Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll remember that next time.
🙂
