“true” 16:9 looks crazy in Premiere Pro 2.0!
I’ll probably expose myself as an absolute beginner asking this, but i have a problem importing some “true 16:9” footage into Premiere Pro 2.0.
Everything looks fine in Premiere pro 1.5 (it tells me it’s 720×576, aspect ratio 1.422). Exported a tryout clip, everything seems fine.
But Premiere 2.0 tells me the footage is actually 1024×576, aspect ratio 1.4, and displays it grossly stretched. In order to make it fit the monitor, i’d have to scale the width down to 71%.
So, what gives? I have a sneaking feeling Premiere 2.0 somehow just “misinterprets” the footage, but i can’t see why…

When you say true widescreen do you mean 720×576 1.4 or 1024×576 square?

I have a feeling it’s interpreted as square too. Right click on the footage > Interpret Footage.

Be careful with interpretation presets when it comes to
After Effects, too. AE will normally default to an interlaced
‘Lower (or Upper) Fields’ first for any imported footage –
which is fine if you’re working with interlaced, but not
needed if you’re working with progressive. If you’re working
with an uncustomised copy of AE, and progressive footage,
always give your imported footage a right-click/interpret
footage check before working with it. 🙂Darren.
