- Pixel Aspect Ratio ¶ Effects must respond correctly to footage with non-square pixels, and non-uniform downsampling factors. Even different layer parameters can have different pixel aspect ratios! Doing so isn't difficult once you understand the concepts involved.
- As After Effects warns you when you use the Toggle Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction button, correcting the image this way is for viewing purposes only; it doesn't affect the image's actual scale. And because correcting an image requires some processing, it will take slightly longer to render frames.
- I'm creating graphics from scratch in After Effects (involving JPEG images and text), and I need to import it into an NTSC DV anamorphic 16:9 FCP sequence. I've set both the composition and assets to 'D1/DV NTSC Widescreen' pixel aspect ratios. When I render the movie using current settings, it comes out 4:3. I'm tearing my hair out.
If you've got a standard-def video project in After Effects or Final Cut or Premiere or any other app and the project settings claim to use pixel aspect ratios other than the ones above, 99% of the time the apps are simply flat-out wrong, and are mis-interpreting (or mis-labeling) the pixel aspect ratio of the video footage you have loaded into.

Once imported into FCP, does a typical export look correct in the Viewer once it's flagged as Anamorphic?
In case you're not aware DV Anamorphic differs from DV only in how the pixels are shaped. It is not, as AE would have you believe, 864x480 material - all DV NTSC material is 720x480. The annoying thing is that QuickTime doesn't help out here, so we're stuck with distorted viewing (QT does not reshape the pixels in an Animation codec file) until it's flagged correctly in FCP.
Or is that the very thing that's not working? I mean, is flagging as Anamorphic in FCP no help?
