Unable to export Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 in 16×9
Hi guys,
I feel pretty dumb asking this, but… how come every time I try to export an Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 Quicktime from AE, the rendered video comes out squished to a 4×3 from a 16×9, as it is set up in the Composition?
Here’s what I do. I set up a render via Render Que. Specify Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 as encoding. I tried a few different options from the “Stretch” variables: locking aspect ratio to 3:2 and unlocking it; specifying the stretch variable to DV NTSC Widescreen and leaving it grayed out as default… same result. The render squishes the movie to a 4×3.
I thought that, maybe, it’s just my Quicktime player that misrepresents the image… but that’s not the case, either. I tested the rendered file in a new Comp in AE — it really is squished. Also, I rendered a DV/NTSC-encoded movie of the same sequence for reference, specifying that it should be a 16×9 move, and that came out 16×9, as it should, and it played as such in Quicktime player.
So… would anyone happen to know, what is it that I’m missing?
Thanks!
Michael

Wow. It works! Pretty cool… Thanks, Dave!
Does this method mean that, to compress the video for DVD, for instance, I can only do it exclusively via FCP and Compressor (not that I have anything against that)? -
Hi Dave,
I know you like Animation better than uncompressed 4:2:2, but I was wondering if you would agree with that if you are an editor working in uncompressed 4:2:2. In an NLE you would have to rerender anyways.

No new news I’ve heard of but I’ve just never had a problem with it is all.
Cheers! -
I’ve worked exclusively in 10bit uncompressed for the past two years as both the video editor and the compositor (another one-man band!!) and i have never had any problems of the sort you describe, Dave.
Having said that, i am in pal land and so it may be the problem is related to ntsc in conjunction with 10bit.
