Hi guys,
Am just getting my head around AE so apologies if this seems rather n00b... I've had a good read around but simply can't find out what I'm doing wrong here...
I have setup a new composition which is HDV 1080 25 and 1440px X 1080px, 25fps, which matches some video footage I'll be importing. Okay so far!
The problem I'm having is that when I import images (from PS or Illustrator for example), they are loosing their aspect ratio and appear too tall. I can stretch them out horizonally a bit, but this obviously isn't best practice.
Could it be something to do with 4:3 / 16:9 settings somewhere? FYI the images are importing about 33% stretched. I have checked the composition settings and tried unticking 'lock aspect ratio 4:3 (1.33)' but this doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance all
EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention, in composition settings I've now changed the Pixel Aspect Ratio to 'Square Pixels' and the images are importing as they should be now. However, this means that my 16:9 video footage is now too wide for the compostion and now stretches horizontally beyond the canvas. How on earth do I bridge the gap to ensure both video and images appear as they should do? Thanks for your help!
