Hi there,
Vertically stretched, that’s a bit odd. The short answer is this but I’m not sure it’ll help your VERTICAL challenge.
InAfter Effects, DVCPRO HD shows up as 1280×720
Only in FCP HD does it show up as 960×720. Elsewhere, it shows up as 1280×720. AND when you add an uncompressed 1280×720 codec piece of media to a 960×720 DVCPRO HD timeline, it PROPERLY handles aspect ratio.
I’m doing a post project right now with DVCPROHD and using DVCPROHD settings in AE, exporting out and they render just great back to Final Cut.
Hope this info is a bit helpful.
