  • Canvas settings 16×9

    Posted by Norman Kolasky on May 14, 2007 at 3:53 am

    I am attempting to create some opening credits with 16×9 screen size to match the format of DV 16×9 from a Sony HDV camera.
    How do I set Motion to have a 16×9 canvas size. Every setting combination that I have tried only produces a regular 4×3 size.
    Can anyone provide some guidance as to how I can get the desired setting?
    Thank you

    Norman,

    have you tried ‘Correct for aspect ratio’ in the view menu?

    Thank you for the lead.
    It was checked. After unchecking, the image outline and contents all
    expanded to the desired 16×9.
    I did not think the solution would be so easy.
    My other conclusion is that the final desired output size format, 4×3 or 16×9, needs to be set when the motion project is exported out of Motion.
