  print to video 16:9 to 4:3 Pal project

  Posted by Prickimage on July 23, 2007 at 11:38 pm

  I’m wanting to ‘print to video’ a 1024×576 Pal project to SD camera

  A 4:3 letterbox would be ideal

  How do I do this?

  Create a new 4×3 sequence and ‘nest’ your 16×9 sequence into the timeline. It should automatically give you a letterbox of the sequence. If not reduce the size down until all the video fits onto the screen (around 75%).

  Lay to tape.

  Good Luck,

  Thanks for that Todd! Definately sounds do-able.

  Is there a way without losing quality? Anamorphic?

  I tried to print as anamorphic but must have settings wrong…

  Cheers

  Hi,
  not sure what you’re trying to do?
  You can lay to tape as an anamorphic 16×9, but you will need to view the tape on a display that will show you 16×9.

  when you nest the sequence in a 4×3 timeline, you’re going to create a letterbox program, that will correct on any display.

  Neither way will loss any quality.

  Good Luck,
