16-9 to 4-3 on export
Hello,
I am working with a 16-9 camera, I want to capture into the 16-9 dv pal setting. However, I need to deliver a tape laoff from the edit in 16-9 which is no problem.
The main issue is that the web encodes and other jobs need the 16-9 footage to be in 4-3. How best would I proceed to make my 16-9 edit 4-3 encoded in the Adobe Media Encoder in Premiere Pro cs2?
Can it easily be done making my 16-9 footage into a 4-3 video on output to a wmv web stream?
Thanks,
Leo

Import the 16:9 video into a 4:3 project. Right click on the video in the project window and choose “Interpret Footage” and change the PAR to 1.2 (NTSC).
Once on the timeline you have 2 choices as your video now hangs over the left and right edges of the program window and will be cut off on export;
1. Do a pan/scan to keep the interesting parts on screen.
2. Resize the clip to fit in the window and accept black bars top and bottom in the exported file. -
Hello Mike,
Thanks for the tips, I was thinking of that same approach doing an interpret, using the pan/scan does this increase the render time a lot?
