Cineform PAR in Vegas vs Premiere/AME
 

David

Hope you can help. I encoded an HDV m2t file to Cineform intermediate in Sony Vegas. I added that file to Adobe Media Encoder's (AME) render cue (CS4). No matter what export format I choose, including Cineform, AME fails to recognize the source file's pixel aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and produces a horizontally squashed image.

Even the source window incorrectly shows the file as having a PAR of 1:1. Premiere Pro CS4 won't load the source file properly. I can import it into AE CS4. From there, I exported it to the same Cineform intermediate, and then it works fine in AME.

Any idea why AME and Premiere Pro don't recognize the proper PAR in the Vegas-encoded Cineform file?

Thanks
