  Way to convert 4:3 to anamorphic

  Posted by Peter Dewit on January 26, 2007 at 10:45 pm

  I’m looking for a way to take some footage captured as standard 4:3 and simulate a anamophic squeeze on it. Basically I want ot do the opposite of setting the anamorphic setting in the item properties.

  This problem has nothing to do with outputting to a 16:9 screen or anything. I was given footage for a project and some is anamoprhic and some is 4:3 letterboxed. I need all the footage to match on the final sequence in as unletterbox anamoprhic. Is there any way FCP can do this without sacrificing too much quality?

  Just play around with it in the distort tab in the viewer. No set rules, do what looks best. If you don’t crop it too much the quality should be okay.
