I am having the worse time ever with AE right now. So in the past I have made titles and other motion graphics animations and had no problem with the final render. I recently picked up a couple of projects and designed them with no problems and it even renders smoothly however; the final product when viewed is stretched horizontally every time. I have changed formats upwards of 40+ times in the sequence and in the rendering output the results are the same a horizontally stretched Quicktime file. Please help and Thank You in advance.

What is your pixel aspect ratio? It sounds like it could be the culprit.

It could also be that you're working in non-standard dimensions, but rendering to a media container & codec that requires standard dimensions.

Thank you Dave,

Ok so I have successfully lost the file I was working on. Which is ok because I have decided that I do not like the way that turned out. I am starting over now.. with both of these files. I plan to export them in Quicktime and the footage and graphic will range in styles sizes and formats but my endgame is a file that can be uploaded by my client to a Premiere Pro file or IMovie to the beginning of their show; so what rendering format or what settings should I use to get the results that I see when I am viewing it in AE. I want the product to look like what I am view when I'm previewing the production. I am going to redo one of them now it will take a while and i will show you what I come with so you can see what I have done.
