I picked up the LE of Fusion just to see what it was like. I mostly do any compositing in After Effects but wanted to see what Fusion had to offer, seeing it is node based.

I've already finished this compositing clip in AE but wanted to try it in Fusion. However, it wont work. The renders of the bg and the character are from the same camera in Maya, set at 720x486. When I overlay everything in a 720 comp in AE, it's perfect. However, when I do it in Fusion, my character is 50 times as big. It looks normal in both windows when they aren't merged.

I gave as much info as I could in this jpg. Could anyone tell me maybe why the character is fitting so big overtop of this bg? I noticed the pixel aspect ratio looks different in the bg loader but Im not sure why as its a 720x480 image... I can't figure out what the problem is. Thanks.

Thank goodness for VFXTalk. It was a pixel aspect problem after all. I had to get the ratio from the file instead of default because sometimes Fusion will guess wrong.

It should be 'From file' by default. And 'Default' takes aspect from you project settings so its probably your fault after all :)

Bit too late to give advice. And no, I didn't touch anything. I just imported my footage and that's the way it was. The people at VFX told me what to change and I did and it worked. It was the first time I opened the learning edition and that's how it was. Either way, it's been resolved for some time now :applause:
