When i put 1800x1800 as composition it becomes more of a rectangle than a square even if my pixel aspect ratio is on square pixels. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi there,


    Thanks for reaching out. Looks like zoomed in and not looking at the full picture. Try zooming out a bit using the mouse scroll or drop-down in the bottom left of the Composition panel.

    Let me know if it helps.


    Thanks,

    Hi, ​@Idaembl7:

     

    To add to Nishu’s reply, if you find yourself in this situation again, a quick way to set the Magnification of the Composition panel to fit is to press Shift /, and then press comma.  Shift / fits it to the Composition panel and comma zooms out one step.  If that’s too zoomed out, press Shift / again and look at the Magnification value in the Magnification pop-up menu and make note of it.  Then press command and increase the Magnification value back up to being a little bit less than what it was when your pressed Shift /.
