1440 X 1080 is a 4 X 3 ratio of pixels. when you throw in the pixel ratio then you get 16 by 9 picture.
If your ouptut or capture from final cut is 1440 X 1080, then your render from After effects should be the same size. fc should take care of the par.

do you mean the eyeball isn’t turned on… funny, it is in my version
maybe something is fouled up with your preferences -
after effects always renders the active camera. if you have multiple cameras it is the one on top.

well. on my windows media player, if I check view, statistics, advanced then it shows me that the frame is 25 for the first clip and 30 for the second and that the media player is dropping frame to play it back. I admit that I don’t know much about windows media, but it seems to me that if the player is dropping frames to playback, the frames are there and the encoding setup is wrong somehow. I can’t find any way to check what the encoding settings are, but the player is definitely dropping frames. It says so right in the statistics palette.
If this happened in a quicktime I’d just change some of the encoding settings until the player would playback in real time.

all you have to do is open up the advanced tab in the statistics window of the windows media player and you’ll see that the data rate is too high for the WMV that has been rendered so windows media player is dropping frames, which is exactly what it was designed to do. The data rate is just too high for the compression scheme that was chosen.

when I check the advanced statistics the test still drops frames and only plays back at about 4 fps. I think the problem is the size. I didn’t set size to full when i looked at the previous example. this one is 1366 X 768 which is huge!!! it doesn’t surprise me that it will not playback smoothly. you need to render to an hd format like h264 QT for these big image sizes. As i said before I’m on a mac and don’t do wmv’s so I don’t have a suggestion for you about how to set up your render but i think it would be better compressed outside AE
the size also looks weird to me. it isn’t any of the standard presets so that may be the source of your trouble

there is also a resize comp script in 6.5

did you try searching for ripple and include the archives. There are a bunch of ways to do what you want. I got a huge list that I’m exploring right now.

i did some work on a canopus dv system a while ago and there was an option to expand or not to expand. Don’t know much about it, but it seemed to work great. we just left everything as it was and when the tape was checked on a scope it was just fine. no fouled up color anywhere.
some time ago i also read that matrox does this. I’m basically a mac user and not much of a pro so I don’t know much about codecs other than dv and i’m experimenting with sony hdv also in fc.
