    hey guys…

    alright i’m getting ready to shoot a local spot and i’ve talked the client into giving it a national look…i’m thinking of shooting it in 16×9 squeeze….
    i’ve done some tests and it seems that i can import it and edit now problem on my g-5 2.0 dual…with fcp 4.5.

    it seems that it was too easy…am i missing something ?

    also i plan on shooting the scenes in 16×9 squeeze than again in 4×3 for saftey any problems with changing the camera settings on the same tape ?

    thanks for the help as aways

    Sure that’s doable but it’s kinda inefficient from a production standpoint to shoot everything twice and make sure both formats get the best takes. Why not settle either on widescreen or fullscreen with the client and shoot what they want? Or shoot 16:9 and protect for 4:3 as most TV show and sport programs do. Like this:
