  • Why is my video footage small when transferring to AF

    Posted by Daniel Eddy on August 16, 2012 at 8:05 pm

    I have looked around the internet and can’t find anyone else who has my problem but my problem is when I transfer my footage from Premiere to AF the video is so much small, its very hard to work in. Is my video footage low quality or am I doing something wrong when I transfer the video. It’s rather frustrating but I would be most appreciative to anyone that has ideas.

    I posted a photo to let you see what it looks like.

    Your video size looks to be 720×480 SD, and your comp is definitely an HD comp. Not sure what your comp size is, but since your magnification is only 33%, I’m guessing it’s probably a 1080. Change your comp settings to match your video, or drag your video to the New Comp button in the Project window to make a comp at the exact size and pixel aspect ratio of your footage.


    It is easier to destroy than to create.
    More fun, too.
