Problem with QT conversion letterboxing- time sensitive!
I’m outputting an hdv timeline as 4:3 using QT conversion, checking the preserve aspect ratio using letterbox, and still getting a stretched version. This seems like a no brainer, but what am I missing?

HDV is 16:9
If you want 4:3, you either crop or letterbox, or you have a squashed image.What am i missing here, or what are you trying to do?

I need to take a 16:9 movie and export it as 4:3 letterboxed. This way, when it goes up on youtube, the client can add links in the lower black box. They can live with the combo letterbox pillarbox.
I would just upload a qt output from compressor using brian gary’s preset, but I am getting a white line along the right side pillarbox that I can’t figure out how to get rid of when I use his preset. For some reason, I don’t get it when coming out of qt conversion, but now I can’t get qt conversion to letterbox!
Example of the white line:

If I could resolve the white line coming out of compressor, I would forget about the qt conversion problem.
Help appreciated, clock is ticking.

Footnote – the white line is only visible when viewing from within YT, not in the above link.

Process your clip trough AE.
This way you can set an optimum output res for Youtube, as well as letterbox, crop a line or two on the vertical part, and deinterlace.Bouke

Yes, AE would be ideal, but because I don’t use it much, I just built a preset in Compressor from scratch, as opposed to Brian’s preset, and got the encode out in time. Still, the original problem puzzles me- why wouldn’t qt conversion apply the letterbox?
