16:9 and 4:3
I edited a project for my boss. He gave me 16:9 footage and 4:3. I had the timeline set to anamorphic, so the 16:9 fills the screen and the 4:3 leaves black on the sides.
He doesn’t want this because Fox Sports Net doesn’t accept that. They don’t want the black bars on the side. I thought I could just change the sequence settings and uncheck the box labeled “anamorphic,” in order to have the 4:3 footage fill the screen and have the 16:9 look like a letterboxed 4:3 image. This doesn’t work. Is there a quick way to solve my problem?
also, any suggestions on royalty free music? The stuff i have from school sounds like music you’d hear in a training video for working at a grocery store from the 80s. I like the first song in this video:

After you uncheck the anamorphic box for the sequence, you’ll need to manually resize the clips to work right. It’s really not that hard though, because by using the paste attributes feature, you just need to change of the 16×9 clips, then paste the attributes to the rest of the clips by selecting all of them at once. Same with the 4×3.
I’m not sure I explained that very well, so you might want to look up how to use the paste attributes feature. Also, be sure to change the distort property along with the other properties to get your footage to look right in a 4×3 timeline.

oooh. Thank you. Your explanation was fine because I already know what you’re talking about. Thanks again. You’ve saved me lots of time and head aches.
