Crop edges to get 4:3

[Martin Burlund]

Dear John

Thank you for that reply and sorry for late props. I am now in the end phase of my project and I still have not figured out how to unsquish the images once inside Compressor. It seems like when I open compressor to unload the file, it recognizes for a blitz second that I exported/imported a 16:9 file, but then it squishes it back to 4:3 in any case. I cannot see how I can use ‘current settings’ or my anamorphic 16:9 settings in Compressor.

I toggled all there is to toggle, but it will only play back in 4:3. If you can recognize this problem, I dearly appreciate it.

Bests,
Martin

please tell me if I understand you correctly. I know you said you started with DV. I think it was 4×3 and you put it in an anamorphic timeline so you had black pillar bars on the sides. You have edited your project. Is it still an anamorphic timeline with black to the sides? And you want to end up with a 4×3 version with no pillar bars, right? Is the timeline using a DV setting?
