    Hi,
    I have some footage that has been shot in anamorphic that I’d like to use in a 4:3 project in Avid Express Pro. What’s the best way to convert this footage so that it displays in 4:3 without letterboxing?

    if you don’t want to leeterbox you’re stuck with letter boxing and then blowing up the whole image and losing the edges, though you can pan and scan to nake it a little more sympathetic.

    Pix in Pix 100% horizontal and 125% vertical

    that brings the picture back in aspect, but, yes you do loose the sides….
