I have 1440x1080 footage taken from an AVCHD camera (that is now Prores HQ) and was working on in Final Cut Pro 7. I took one of the clips directly from it's folder in the finder and imported it into a new After Effects (5.5) project. I made a new comp with the settings shown in the picture (though I did try every other preset and pixel aspect ratio preset out of desperation). This shows a totally different dimension than the original file (shown) and FCP (which displayed it perfeectly when I just threw the clip onto the timeline and had it confort the timeline settings to that of the clips). The same thing happened when I tried to pull my FCP timeline into Resolve 9, though rather than lopping the sides off like AE has done in the picture, it just squished the picture to fit the dimension. I would love to not only know how to fix this, but would love to know how different programs come up with a different shape for straightforward numerical dimension. I don't see how this problem is even possible.
