*Just a reminder that HDV (PAR 1.33) is not the same as HDTV (PAR 1.0) or DV/miniDV (PAR 0.91). Now the document is both adjusted for and previewing as square computer display pixels, so when you export the animated GIF, it appears as you expect in a web browser (see animation below). So the problem is that the pixel aspect ratio was changed, but the image proportions were not adjusted to compensate, and that’s why the export appears stretched/squished.Ī way to get this right is to use Image > Image Size to correct the frame Width and Height to what they should be as square pixels, then set View > Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square. Once you’ve found a template you love, click Personalize. Browse hundreds of gorgeous templates for any occasion, from holidays and birthdays to graduations and memorials, and beyond. Then, without correcting the rectangular pixels, the animation was exported straight to animated GIF, which exports to the square pixels that are standard on computer displays.

Some guy came up with this technique called smilebox to try to get the cinerama experience in the living room. And when they show a Cinerama movie in an ordinary letterbox format, some distortion can occur. When you open or create an HDV file in Photoshop, it automatically enables View > Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction (you can tell because it says “scaled” in the document tab), so Photoshop is previewing those rectangular pixels as they would appear played back as HDV* on a TV. You probably seen what a Cinerama screen looks like. That’s right, HDV pixels are rectangular, with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.33, not like computer display pixels with are square (PAR 1:1). You found the key clue to the problem when you believe the pixels are rectangular, since the footage is HDV. The animated GIF I made below is clearly not 4:3. No, Photoshop and Premiere Pro can export animated GIFs at any aspect ratio. Just went back into Premiere and changed the Sequence settings of my video to 4:3 and now it's working.
