Uncompressed QT in 16:9
hi Guys,
Is there any way of exporting a clip in FCP, uncompressed (either with None codec, 8bit or 10 bit) as 16:9.
I want to import them into After Effects, but when I use these settings at the moment they come into AE in 4:3.
The only way I can make sure the clip is 16:9 is by using the DV-PAL codec – but obviously I am losing quality with this.
Please oh please can anyone help?
Cheers in advance

What were the clips digitized as? Are they HD clips? Anamorphic?

when you import media into After Effects, it automatically interprets it as non-anamorphic (in my experience)..
Here’s what you do:
Right click on the footage in the project window..
In the menu that appears select ‘interpret footage’, then ‘main’.
In the window that opens, look down at the bottom in the ‘other options’.. it will probably show a pixel aspect ratio of ‘DV/D1 NTSC 0.9’..
you need to change that to ‘DV/D1 NTSC 1.2 (widescreen’)..
that will tell after effects to treat your quicktime movie as anamorphic, or 16:9.
when you load the newly ‘interpreted footage into a 16:9 comp, it will fill the frame.
GOOD LUCK!
