  • Dumbing down 16:9 to 4:3

    Hey folks,

    I need to convert a 16:9 project to 4:3 without squeezing the image. I’m having a hard time finding a step by step instruction on how to do so.

    I need to export it and then get it to IDVD without squeezing. Letterbox is ok. I just need it to look normal.

    If anybody can dumb it down for me as much as possible I would appreciate it. I’m sure you will ask me a question I have no idea what the answer will be but go ahead.

    Create a new 4:3 sequence. Then, select the 16:9 sequence and drag that to the 4:3 timeline. Render and export.
