16×9 question
hey guys, somethign simple here, but with my web search, and asking a few friends, im empty.
i am editing a 16×9 lecture, and all the slides are 4×3…how do i get them to fit, so there’s no black bars on the sides?

Scale them way up so there’s no black on either side, but you’ll probably end up cropping off stuff top and bottom.
Stretch them out side to side. Depending on what the slides are this may or may not be desirable.
Place a graphic or matte color behind the slide to fill the frame.
I would probably do the third one.

You’ll need to scale them up to fill the screen (133%), but at the cost of resolution, and it will crop the images. Could you put some sort of 16:9 graphic underneath them instead?

I haven’t tried this myself yet, but someone suggested what I think is a cool idea:
Do as Jerry suggests, blow up the image by 133% and put it behind the 4:3 version,
so the viewer sees the unstretched full image but with a compatible background on the sides. You
might have to play with the background image (blur, saturation, etc.) to make it work
best.The best thing though is, scan the images at high enough resolution so you won’t
lose any res when you put them in the 16:9 timeline. I do a lot of stills with pans, pulls,
and pushes, and generally there’s plenty of extraneous image area top and bottom.

The best blow up you can get on them is with PhotoZoomPro, pretty incredible. 133% is nothing for it.
