![]() ![]() *Just a reminder that HDV (PAR 1.33) is not the same as HDTV (PAR 1.0) or DV/miniDV (PAR 0.91). Now the document is both adjusted for and previewing as square computer display pixels, so when you export the animated GIF, it appears as you expect in a web browser (see animation below). So the problem is that the pixel aspect ratio was changed, but the image proportions were not adjusted to compensate, and that’s why the export appears stretched/squished.Ī way to get this right is to use Image > Image Size to correct the frame Width and Height to what they should be as square pixels, then set View > Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square. ![]() Then, without correcting the rectangular pixels, the animation was exported straight to animated GIF, which exports to the square pixels that are standard on computer displays. It looks OK, but it is not, because Photoshop is doing an HDV TV preview, not a computer display preview. When you open or create an HDV file in Photoshop, it automatically enables View > Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction (you can tell because it says “scaled” in the document tab), so Photoshop is previewing those rectangular pixels as they would appear played back as HDV* on a TV. That’s right, HDV pixels are rectangular, with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.33, not like computer display pixels with are square (PAR 1:1). You found the key clue to the problem when you believe the pixels are rectangular, since the footage is HDV. The animated GIF I made below is clearly not 4:3. No, Photoshop and Premiere Pro can export animated GIFs at any aspect ratio. If the footage was not shot with an anamorphic lens, then you have fouled it up.Just went back into Premiere and changed the Sequence settings of my video to 4:3 and now it's working. This could happen if you rented an anamorphic lens and put it on your DSLR and shot some footage. You only change the pixel aspect ratio of footage if you know for sure that After Effects misinterpreted the footage. ![]() You never force the footage into a pixel aspect ratio that does not match the original footage. If the footage did not come from a camera using an 2:1 anamorphic lens then changing the interpretation just fouled up your footage. I'm also concerned that you have interpreted all the footage going into the comp as 2:1. The odds of that frame size and pixel aspect ratio giving you content you can distribute to anything the public can see without distortion are extremely small. Or you can double the width of the comp and change to square pixels, then, after you have completed your work, drop the final comp in an Anamorphic comp for rendering. Fix the preview problem by turning on Pixel Aspect Ratio correction in your composition panel and end up with a display that looks like this: If you are absolutely sure that is the size and pixel aspect ratio you must use for your final render then you can do one of two things. Go to the Mail view in Outlook, create a new email with clicking Home > New Email. Adjust the zoom to 100 for viewing the image in actual size. The Anamorphic 2:1 pixel aspect ratio and frame size do not match any standard I know of. In your computer, open the folder containing the image you will insert, and then double click to open the image in the Photos viewer. ![]() Your frame size is CINEMA DCP 4k Square Pixels so at least part of your comp is set up correctly for rendering a production master but the frame size does not match YouTube or any other streaming service frame size. The standard workflow for anyone that is not an expert in video formats is to work in square pixels and standard frame sizes. Is there any reason you are working with non-square pixels? Media players, YouTube, Vimeo, and any other streaming service I know of do not handle the distortion well. ![]()
