Stills: Pixel Aspect Ratio from File is Wrong

May 21, 2012 6:39 AM

The photo montage I'm working on is D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121). I shoot the pix with my SONY Z5U and the raw stills are all 1440x810 72 dpi, square pixels. To conform them to my PPro project, I change their dimensions to 720x480 and I change the Pixel Aspect Ratio to D1/DV NTSC Widescreen (1.2). But when I import these stills into PPro they all appear squeezed and their aspect ratio comes up as D1/DV NTSC (09091), so I have to manually change it to D1/DV NTSC Widescreen. How can I get these stills to automatically be seen at Widescreen?

    What happens if you Scale the Still Images to 640 x 480, but leave the PAR = 1.0 (Square Pixels), and Import those into PrPro?

     

    Good luck,

    Well, the original pix are 1440x810. If I were to change just the height to 480 and Constrain Proportions, the new dimensions would be 853x480 (thereby maintaining the aspect ratio). And this IS square pixels. So changing the dimensions to 640x480 would just thin out the image.
