  • Video Appears Stretched on IMPORT to AE

    Posted by Michael Dominic on February 2, 2017 at 3:43 pm

    I have a video that is Apple ProRes 422, 720 × 480 (640 × 480 Actual).

    It appears correctly in QT but when brought into AE it wants to behave as 720 × 480 not 640 × 480, so it is stretched horizontally.

    When I make a comp that is 640 × 480 and then ‘fit to comp’ or ‘fit to width’ it is stretched vertically.

    There has to be a way to fix this without just eyeballing it.

    See photo of both QT and AE with the QT specks.

    Sounds like a Pixel Aspect Ratio problem.
    And make sure you toggle the pixel aspect ratio on viewport:

    Thank you. I should have known that.
