  Downsizing video help

  Posted by Justin Mitchell on July 10, 2009 at 8:28 pm

  I’ve just finished editing a promo video for a company I’m helping out. I had to combine old footage they had with new footage I shot. My problem is that my footage is in HD and 16:9 and the old footage is SD and 4:3. I may have made a mistake in editing the whole video without changing the video before hand. Is there any way I can change the timeline so that that all the video is the same quality and aspect ratio? It is fine to bring all the video to the lower SD footage. Thanks for the help.

  The video have his own aspect ratio and must remains like that.
  Make a SD (4×3) sequence and drop everything there. Resize and re-frame the HD footage.
  Before exporting set “Render Motion Effects: BEST”. this should improve the downsizing.
  Cheers,
