  • Filter that gradually stretches edges only to fit 4×3 to 16×9?

    Posted by Spotnik on February 26, 2007 at 10:57 pm

    Does anyone know of a filter that stretches 4×3 to 16×9 by gradually stretching the
    edges only, leaving the center (and talking head) relatively untouched? This would be
    the same effect as “justify”view on my 16×9 monitor.

    You could just keyframe the “Distort” parameter under your “Motion” tab.

    Hey,

    A while back I noticed a 4×3 video I did for a client playing on a widescreen monitor at their place, and it was stretched like you say, at the edges only. I asked about this and got an answer from I think Gary Adcock, he said what it was but I can’t remember and I can’t find the post. Maybe Gary will see this.

    you might be looking for the smart anamorphic plugin from Mattias Sandstr

    Andy,

    That plug may do exactly the same thing as the process Gary mentioned, but it’s not the same one. No big deal though.

    Pretty much any widescreen TV has a “Stretch” option built in that will do this.

    Thanks for the Smart Anamorphic filter suggestion. This is what
    I was looking for. The distortion ramp towards the edges is really
    steep however (steeper than what my Panasonic monitor does) and there is no
    way to adjust this. Any other filters like this out there?
