Clip stretched importing back into FCP from post work

Hey all,

I wonder if someone can help me here. I exported a 720 lossless clip from FCP to send to After Effects for post work. In AE, composition is set up for 960 x 720 frame. Pixel Aspect ratio is DVCPRO HD 720 1.33, 16:9 aspect. I export clip after post from AE to .mov... aspect still set at 16:9. When I open clip in quicktime to view, looks good. I then import it back into FCP, into my DVCPRO HD 720 24p timeline, and it looks stretched. Item properties of clip say it's still 960 x 720 frame. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Seems like its a pixel aspect ratio issue, even though I know you said you checked it in AE. Did you double check the item properties in FCP after importing the clip?

Might want to do that just to make sure.
