    Posted by Ryan Aarstad on November 11, 2007 at 11:31 pm

    I am exporting a 16:9 program from edit suite as a self contained movie, and then importing it into a new 4:3 program, conforming media to letterbox but when it is finished conforming the video is all black.

    Basically I am trying to letterbox a 16:9 program to upload to youtube…

    Instead of export/import try just changing the video input settings in your current 16:9 project to 4:3 then opening a new timeline (which should then be 4:3). Just ‘select all’ and drag everything into the new timeline. It’ll give you the conform options before it completes the operation.

    Or while being in your 16:9 timeline, choose “Conform Program

    Hi all,
    This is a situation I have been wanting to address. When we do conforming from 16 x 9 to 4×3 letterbox all the graphics are out of place and time efx (slo-mo) do not render correctly. I also have an annoying situation when trimming in the timeline. The clip that is visible during trimming is always the dominant clip, even when that is not the clip being trimmed. All this is while editing 16 x 9 sd. Are these problems fixed in 12.2?
    My system: OSx 10.4.10, dual 2.5 GHz G5, 2Giggs ram.Huge 1.2terrabyte. Media 100 11.5.1 HDX.
    Thanks,
    lc

    Floh, cool. didn’t know you could do that. That’s a much better way of doing it.

    Does it leave you two copies? 1x conformed and 1 x original?

    Yes, it creates a new, conformed timeline.
