Hold down the Shift key while "free transforming" to maintain proportions.
Another way to handle this is to not even crop the image in photoshop, but crop it right in APP. This is how.
File- Import-Import the image you want to bring in
It will now be found listed in your Project Window
Click it and drag it into your timeline where you'd like the image to be placed.
Then open up your "Effects COntrols" palette. This is located docked within the monitor window by default, unless you've docked it elsewhere.
Within this palette is a "Motion" control. CLick on the sideways carrot. This will open up the motion options. One of which is Scale. If you click on the Uniform scale box you can change the scale of the image and maintain the proportions. Use the scale slider to adjust the scale to fit the size you'd like. You can see the results in the monitor window. This way you can adjust the scale right within APP and make sure it looks how you want it.
Please forgive the very precise directions if you are more seasoned with APP. I just wanted to give you all the info in case you werent that familiar with the program.
In Photoshop-
File-New
A window will open up where you can set a bunch of preferances for your new file you're about to open up. Where it says "preset" there is a drop down menu. CLick on the drop down. About half way down in the list you will see a bunch of options that begin with NTSC, PAL, and HDV. If you are working with NTSC, which is probably the case, the standard pixel aspect ratio you would choose it the first on the list 720x480, and I always select it "with Guides" The guides allow you to see your safe title area and you can make sure that you don't have any important parts of the image or any text outside those safe guides. If you are working in NTSC widescreen simply click on the second option in the drop down menu of NTSC options. This is called "NTSC DV Widescreen" The pixel aspect ratio of widescreen is 720 x 480.
Again, please forgive me if I am too elementary in my explaination, but I wanted to make sure I included all the info for you. I hope this helped you out. Keep me updated and feel free to ask any more questions you may have.
Best,
Jen
