AE widescreen help urgent

[DAZMAN]

Ok basicley i shot my film in 16x9 and have captured it in adobe premiere pro 1.5 48hz widescreen. I want to export it in to affter effects. When i render the project, i render it as uncompressed dv/widescreen 16x9. But in after effects, when i come to set up my composition and select dv/widescreen, it keeps the 720 x 576 aspect ratio. This causes a 4x3 composition with virticaly streched video. What settings should i use in AE?

You don't need AE to widescreen it. If you've got Premiere, do what I do - export the final movie as an AVI file, then open up a new Premiere project. Inport the avi into the project, then right click and select motion. At the bottom right corner you'll see the distortion screen. You can mold the movie into widescreen using that, but remember to set the fill color as black first.

Well, after you do the compositing you can export the final video and then try what I suggested with that product, otherwise I don't know.

Does AE have an option for individual clip settings? If so, see if you can set it to 16x9 (or 1.21)

does any one know the PAL pixle aspect ratio for wide screen? you know how 4x3 is 720 x 576

Pal 16x9 is 720x576, same as 4x3, the pixels are simply stretched.
