    I have 16:9 footage in a 4:3 comp. I don’t have a resize filter to automatically compensate the difference. So , i am using the normal resize filter.

    anyone know the height % correction to make it look 16:9? I think it is between 80-85%

    also, what about the height % correction to stretch it out to fit in the 4:3. I think it is around 120 %

    Look in the reformat section of the effects pallette. Apply a 16:9 and it works like a champ…

    With “resize”, I let the Horizontal at 100% but lower the Vertical to 77%. If you do not want to lose information behind the 4:3 tv plastic frame, I suggest H 88% and V 65% (for 16:9 footage) for a dvd output. It fits for my tv back home.

    I don’t know if there is a better way without proper hardware.

    Good luck

    For animorphic 16:9 footage to be letterboxed into a 4:3 show, I like to use a resize or 3D warp with vertical set to 75 and horizontal at 100. I also crop a couple lines off the top and bottom to hide the alternating half-line of video sometimes visible at top n bottom.
    Logically the inverse would be 125 vertical to 100 horizontal, and then you just position it up or down to taste.

    … or just put a mask on top & bottom, allowing you to move the image up or down under the mask. Yeah you’ll lose part of the vid, but the finished product will look a bit better (not squished or strtetched).
