  Best way to incorporate 4:3 into 16:9 footage

  Posted by Richard Sutcliffe on July 21, 2006 at 4:50 am

  Hi all,

  Im working on an edit where 90% of the footage was shot in 16×9 but some preliminary footage which I need to use was shot letterboxed 4×3 by mistake. What is the best way to incorporate it into a 16×9 broadcast.

  Im resizing in avid to 16×9 proportions and rendering but when I playback to my deck through firewire the footage is resorting to its original proportions. all other effects are playing correctly however.

  I could convert it in after effects and reimport the sequence to the avid timeline.

  Any advice appreciated

  is it 16/9 letterbox within a 4/3 frame? is so you should just zoom it up(it will degrade signicantly) till the tramlines are out of frame and render.
