  • Converting 4:3 stretched back to regular 4:3

    Posted by Robert Mawson on January 14, 2018 at 6:56 pm

    A while back, I transferred some of my home movies to my PC. The software I used at the time stretched the original 4:3 content to 16:9. Obviously I’d rather it be in it’s correct aspect ratio of 4:3. I don’t want to crop it, because then I’d be losing the edge of the frame, and everything would still be stretched out.

    Is there a way to do that in Vegas?

    Hi Robert

    Go to Files/Properties/Video/Template

    Find the 4:3 template that fits your need.

    Then go to Pixel Aspect Ratio and select 1.3333

    and then Apply and OK

    Save as… and Render

    Should do the trick.

    Cheers !
