I'm not sure why this is happening...
I have a project set-up in Adobe Premiere. It's PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422). I have an After Effects composition which I've also created, and it is also PAL Widscreen 16:9 (1.422). I am rendering a movie file from this After Effects composition, and then taking that file into my Premiere Project. But for some reason, when I export the movie from Premiere, it is not 16:9 format. It is squashed in left and right. I don't understand why. I have some still images in my Premiere project, and they are the correct ratio, so why isn't the movie file I rendered from After Effects!? Crazy thing is that the movie file from After Effects IS! I'm stumped!!

Well this is what has me a bit confused because the clip on it's own seems to be as it should. When i view it independently, it's the correct size (or atleast appears to be). It's only when I get it into Premiere and export from there that it doesn't behave properly. Yet the still images within the same project ARE ok...!

OK, i seem to have found a solution, but i'm not sure it's the RIGHT thing to be doing.
By changing the composition settings in After Effects to PAL Widescreen Square Pixel at a resolution of 1024x576, when I then take that file into Premiere and export the movie, everything is the right proportion.
I feel like this isn't the right thing to do though...! -

The original clip I rendered from AE is wide, from what I can see. When I play it in VLC Player and select the 16:9 ratio, it looks correct. It's only when Premiere exports it that it squashes it up. But the square pixel thing seems to do the trick. Maybe it shouldn't, but it is working...

Originally, I was outputting from Premiere at PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422). Watching square pixel, it looked squeezed double on the footage that I rendered in AE, although the stills photos looked squeezed as you would expect. Viewing 16:9 the photos expand out to normal proportion, but the AE footage was still squeezed.

What compression and format are you using ? Not all of them respect the 16:9 flag, so while your video will be encoded correctly, you may have to tell your editor or playback software that it is 16:9. It appears this is happening in your case, as you have to tell VLC that it is 16:9. VLC is usually pretty good at working this out for itself if the format supports the flags properly.
