Sorry if this is a repeated question. I need to animate a logo created in photoshop. However when I bring the logo into After Effects [NTSC Widescreen (1.2)] the logo's quality degrades. When I toggle the aspect correction button the logo's quality improves, but everything squeezes. Does anyone know how to keep the logo's quality and the correct aspect ratio? Thank you

That's just what pixel aspect ratio does:
it has to throw away pixels to get to 720 pixels wide.
A TV-screen will stretch it back out, but it will be interpolated (softer)
Unfortunately, After effects when 'previewing" that stretch (using Pixel aspect compensation) utlies "nearest neighbour sampling" to speed things up, so it looks hideous on your monitor.
On TV, it will look a bit beter.

Don't worry about the squeezing,
the actual output file will be like that.
(but with a message to the reproducer to strech it out again)
You'll get used to watch squeezed images if you want to look at the quality
and to watch poor quality when your working on the compositing
