    Hi I have a customer that wants to put films on the web in 4:3. The material is filmed in 16:9. What is the best way to crop this to fit the 4:3 format. Should this bee done in FCP or in compressor or some other compression program?
    Looking forward to hear from you.

    A couple of options would be to do a simple center cut by exporting via compressor, or by dropping the master sequence into a 4:3 timeline in FCP and blowing up to remove the letterbox

    If you didn’t shoot with 4:3 delivery in mind (or even if you did) you might want to reframe the shots beforehand.
