On a related note...
In After Effects 7.0, I create a composition for HDV 1080 29.9. The
settings area says it is "16/9" pixel ratio. However, the display of
the video is still 4:30, with the video compressed into that space.
The export of the rendered file is also 4:3. Puzzled by this. Even if
I manually change the settings to 1440 x 1080, which is how the video
footage is identified in the projects folder, I get a 4:3 ratio box.
Can anyone enlighten me?
