Pixel Aspect Ratio on MainSource

[byronnash]

The manual says that the pixelAspect is read only when dealing with footage. Has anyone figured out a way to circumvent this limitation?

Hi,
it works for me.

Code: Select all

myCurrentSource.pixelAspect = 1.42;

sets the pixel aspect ratio to 1.42

Have you gotten that to work with footage items in the project window? I think it works for comps and solids, but not footage items. Here is what I'm using code-wise.

Code: Select all

curSel[0].mainSource.pixelAspect = 1.0;

yes...
import your footage in a new project, and try :

Code: Select all

app.project.item(1).pixelAspect = 1.0;

it should change the interpretation of your footage

Great, that works. Why do you think that it doesn't work with .mainsource?
