I've asked this over in the After Effects forum, but I guess it's probably just as relevent here.

When I export a QT reference movie from xpress, and import it into After Effects, for some reason it's showing up as 640x480, instead of 720x480.

I don't believe it's an aspect ratio issue. When I open the QT Reference file myself, like, just from Windows, it displays as 640x480. When I look at the files properties in the Quicktime viewer, in the size tab, it says "normal 720x480" and "current 640x480."

This seems like it's got to be what's causing After Effects to display it as 640...

Any ideas? I've got alot of work to do over the next couple days, and this is right at the front of it...

I finally figured this out.

In case anyone else has ever has the same problem, when exporting QT Reference files from XPress, the "Use Avid DV Codec" checkbox needs to be checked. Otherwise, weirdness.
