Oops, I left off the aspect correction for the height. See below…

w = thisLayer.width;
h = thisLayer.height;

compW = thisComp.width;
compH = thisComp.height;

p = thisComp.pixelAspect;

s1 = (compW / w ) * 100;
s2 = (compH / h ) * 100;

if ( s1 > s2 ){ //test size difference
[ s2 * p , s2 * p ]
}else{
[ s1 * p , s1 * p ]
}

This thread is old, but thought I’d add my 2 bits for google’s sake… and for mine if I forget how to write the damn expression. lol.

I use this for NTSC output. Comp of unknown size and image of unknown size. Aspect compensation width only (NTSC) and this assumes square pixel images though I would think you could modify to check and compensate… it would be a pain for legacy aspects. You could also pull the “p” and fix the width (“s”1) by “* 90;”.

w = thisLayer.width;
h = thisLayer.height;

compW = thisComp.width;
compH = thisComp.height;

p = thisComp.pixelAspect;

s1 = (compW / w ) * 100;
s2 = (compH / h ) * 100;

if ( s1 > s2 ){ //test size difference
[ s2 , s2 ]
}else{
[ s1 * p , s1 * p ]
}

Hey Chris, I just had this exact problem.

It ended up being a PSD file that FCP didn’t like. The PSD was also put into a stand alone sequence. I deleted both of these assets and FCP opened Media Manager. Luckily this PSD was not used in the final sequence. The entire project was a mix of QTs (Animation), PNGs, and luckily just one other PSD file. This made it fairly easy to lock down the trouble file.

Hope you were able to find your error! This is one of the thousands of exceptions to the rule that we deal with on a daily basis. Glad I found his thread! And props to Joe Pettinati for the corrupt file suggestion.

Crap. I was hoping this issue wasn’t going to turn out to be such an easy fix (no offense John). We’re having a similar situation, but the fix only works when the OS is the same. Cross-platform the font issues rears it’s ugly head again. Some fonts will just flat out not work on the PC (XP & Vista) when they install correctly on the Mac. In our situation it’s necessary for all three platforms to perform correctly, but font interpretation is different. A simple Find & Replace [font name] would be a god send at this point… I’ll continue to hope that fonts die an ugly death.
