After Effects Output

[swsw1550]

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help us with a project in After Effects? We have made a project in AE and when we add it to render cue as a 1440X1080 25f or even 50F and inport it into Edius it does not play back in full screen, even playing in media player, we know that the aspect ratio should be 1.3333 but can't seem to find settings for this, we are in Pal as well, we are previewing it through the spark card on a 100hz Sony Bravia LCD monitor and it is in the middle of it with a lot of black around it and doesn't fill the screen, can anyone help with this as we are new to AE. Also this is AE CS3.

Cheers
Steve

There should be a setting for HDV 1080/DVCPROHD 720 (1.33). Using that setting imported into a 1440x1080 Edius setting will output a full screen preview.

If you have to, try changing the settings from the clip in the bin after the fact.

I solved all of this aspect ratio crap a long time ago by working strickly in a square pixel environment. Yes it takes more juice to work in, but it is soooo
much easier on my brain.
You could also try using the 1920x1080 setting and see what the two look like on your screen.
You should be able to get a preview out of AE onto your editing monitor through your Edius card just to check.
