  16-9 to 4-3 on export

  Posted by Deleted User on August 31, 2007 at 12:02 am

  Hello,

  I am working with a 16-9 camera, I want to capture into the 16-9 dv pal setting. However, I need to deliver a tape laoff from the edit in 16-9 which is no problem.

  The main issue is that the web encodes and other jobs need the 16-9 footage to be in 4-3. How best would I proceed to make my 16-9 edit 4-3 encoded in the Adobe Media Encoder in Premiere Pro cs2?

  Can it easily be done making my 16-9 footage into a 4-3 video on output to a wmv web stream?

  Thanks,

  Leo

  Import the 16:9 video into a 4:3 project. Right click on the video in the project window and choose “Interpret Footage” and change the PAR to 1.2 (NTSC).
  Once on the timeline you have 2 choices as your video now hangs over the left and right edges of the program window and will be cut off on export;
  1. Do a pan/scan to keep the interesting parts on screen.
  2. Resize the clip to fit in the window and accept black bars top and bottom in the exported file.

  Hello Mike,

  Thanks for the tips, I was thinking of that same approach doing an interpret, using the pan/scan does this increase the render time a lot?
