Please help with exporting from P.P. to AE!

Hello,
I'm having a hell of a time getting the correct Aspect Ratio. Here's what's going on.

I shot at 720/24P in Adobe On Location. Imported into Premiere Pro CS4 and cut it down to 7 minutes.

I then tried exporting it as an AVI file and imported into After Effects. Did a few simple titles and then rendered the file. When I import it back into Premiere Pro to encode it as an H.264 file, the aspect raio is not full screen.

Rather it looks like a 4:3 with black bars on both sides. I've tried several ways to export this file into AE but so far nothing has worked.

Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this?
(How do I export the original file in P.P. into AE, add titles then export back into P.P. for the final encoding?)

Thanks very much.

1. sounds like you did not set your export settings in AE correctly. check on that.
2. If you also have the latest AE, you should be able to just import the PP CS4 project sequence into AE and add your titles or do whatever, save it, and then go back to Premiere and update your sequence and what you did in AE, you should see that in Premiere. This way, you don't have to export and import back and forth.

Hope this help. Otherwise, there are plenty of AE and Premiere guru in here that may be able to offer better tips.
 
Why not use Dynamic Link? Right-click on the video in PP and choose "Replace with After Effects Composition."

Or, in After Effects, use Dynamic Link to import the PP sequence.
 
Thank you both for taking time to reply. I'm doing several searches on the
Adobe forum under Dynamic Link. Found a few tutorials as well.

Gonna 'bone up' on them and see if I can get it working.

Best.
