Right, but you *do* need to make the video you're working against the proper AR if someone's doing an anamorphic encode. Several ways to do it, but because I've not futzed with PAR settings in AFX, I just make a comp of 853x480, stretch the video I'm working on, then squish the overlay back into anamorphic res. Since it's all rasterized, no loss of quality and no AR error on your typeset that's now been made anamorphic.
Edit: This is all assuming a 16:9 AR, of course.
