  1440X1080 4:3 or 16:9 HDV format ???

  Posted by Jean-pierre Desrochers on April 8, 2016 at 7:42 pm

  I just watched a youtube Vegas Pro 13 tutorial
  (https://youtu.be/sqsWdp3xWzw)
  that showed how to edit an 1440×1080 HDV footage.
  Well my question is the following:
  To me 1440×1080 is 4:3 ratio right ?
  But the Vegas Preview window would show the clip
  in what looks like a 16:9 format..
  In fact the Vegas Preview window states:
  Project: 1440x1080x32, 25,000i
  Preview: 360x270x32, 25,000p
  Display: 593x334x32

  Are the pixels not square ??
  I’m confused here..

  Hi J-P,

  You are correct. The pixel aspect ratio for HDV is 1.3333. So vegas will display and render as 16:9 aspect ratio (HD).

  The pixel aspect ratio for HD is 1.0000 square, which is also displayed and rendered as 16:9 aspect ration.

  Best Regards…..George
