  16:9 footage doesn’t switch a letterbox in a 4:3 sequence

  HI,

  I captured 16:9 media, like Uncompressed 8 bit not Anamorphic and I made a sequence 4:3 with this footage than looks compressed in the Timeline Monitor.

  Now, I did a batch and i wanted to get a letter box sequence, but The footage doesn’t want to switch and it still full in the screen, even If I copy the sequence and paste in a new 4:3 sequence.

  I captured some seconds of footage like Anamorphic and drop to the Timeline and it show the letter box, but the old footage in the sequence doesn’t change.

  Somebody know something like fix it!!

  Thank you!!

  Control-click (or right-click) on the old footage in the Bin and select Footage Properties>Format. Make sure Anamorphic is checked. Then try dropping the footage in the timeline again. It should now be letterboxed.
