  • Exporting 4:3 from my 16×9 project

    Posted by Ken Hodson on July 20, 2005 at 3:33 am

    I use AspectHD to edit my 720p projects. I decided to put some old 4:3 SD footage I had into the project. Upon export my 16:9 footage was letterboxed as normal, but my SD portion was letterboxed vertical and horizontal. So I adusted the project so I just have the SD footage in the 720p project with the thought that I could export to 4:3. But no matter what options I try I can’t seem to make this happen. Any advice on how to get my 4:3 footage in a 16:9 project back to full screen 4:3 would be appreciated.

    Reverse the situation. Put the 16:9 letterboxed into a 4:3 SD project.

    That is prety much what I have arrived at. I broke up my timeline and rendered out the 4:3 footage, and the 16:9 footage seperately.
    Import the 4:3 footage into a 4:3 SD timeline then zoom out untill it fits. Then add the 16:9 footage then export to 4:3 DVD.
    Best I could come up with.
    Thanks for the help

    I just bring the 16:9 footage into a standard 4:3 project and scale it to fit as letterboxed. Add the 4:3 footage and the 16:9 footage together and it works fine as a 4:3 project.

    In order to set up the ability to pan and scan the 16:9, I use a letterbox title over the video to restrict it to the original shape. Although, I often find a lot of HDV footage that works as 4:3 when zoomed in a bit anyway.
