    I am trying to nest a 16:9 sequence into a 4:3 sequence, but the preset keeps defaulting back to anamorphic everytime i change it. So my 16:9 stuff is stretched out on a 4:3 screen but its set to anamorphic.
    The nesting has been working until now when i need it the most.
    Does anyone have any clue how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Nevin

    p.s. this is due tomorrow at 10 am!!

    Are you copying and pasting the clips of one sequence into the new 4:3 seq or or dragging the 16:9 sequence to the 4:3 sequence?

    what about the “aspect” control when you are working the clip in the viewer?

    For some reason my animorphic sequences, although set to anamorphic, would stretch to fit the 4:3 superwhite setting rather than letterbox.
    I ended up figuring a laborious fix that got the job done. I just dropped the already 16:9 sequence into another 16:9 sequence and then dropped it into the 4:3.
    I only seemed to have this problem with animorphic sequences which incorporated still pictures. In other words all the native 16:9 shots would letterbox just fine if they were the only items in the sequence, but if I added a picture scan to the sequence the 16:9 sequence wouldnt letterbox when added to a 4:3 sequence.
    I assume that’s my problem, I just dont know why it was happening.
    All in all, at least I got my project finished.
    If anyone has any ideas or knowledge of why these sequences with pictures were acting this way, i’d appreciate your thoughts.
    Thanks,
