Hello,
I was hoping someone would have some info for me. I'm exporting AfterEffects mov's as 720X480 DV/NTSC square pixels - Then my partner is taking the files and adding them to a Final Cut timeline. I have a feeling there is some miscommunication between us, because there is some slight stretching in the final output to DVD, and it seems like some of the files I give him are a bit pixelated.
Long question short: What should we output AfterEffects as for Final Cut, then what should we output from Final Cut for DVD?

Thanks for any help, I want to do this right and it's not working!

If your pixels are stretching there is a good chance you have them setup to 'square pixels' and your partner will have them set to 'D1/DV NTSC Widescreen (1.2)'

That should get everything working across the board if you setup the same configuration

So, what is recommended for final output to DVD, Square pixels or not?

Thanks for the response!
