16:9 show
I am having a tough time with a 16:9 show I am working on. My client wants it to be a 16:9 show but all of his footage is 4:3. So my solution was to go into After effects and design a show on a 16:9 canvas(HDTV 1280×720) and then I made a “Video Window” where the 4:3 video footage plays. Upon first viewing, the client decided that the video window looked too small, so I went in and increased the scale of the video to take up more of the canvas, but now he thinks the video quality is very poor. How can I keep my 4:3 video looking as sharp as it does in the premiere 4:3 timeline and still deliver my client a 16:9 show. The other issue is we are very close to the end of the deadline here and I don’t want to have to completely redesign the show. Thanks.

That is a tough problem. If you just need a 16×9 show, try this.
Don’t use an HD template. Open AE and use
the NTSC DV or D1 widescreen template, depending
on if your footage is DV (720×480) or (720×486)Use scale and enter 133% that will fill up
the 16×9 format. You can adjust your footage up and down as needed.
Then you can use this rendered file in a DVD project.
Just make sure you set your DVD setttings for 16×9 widescreen.
Good Luck
