  • Mixing 4×3 and 16×9 In the same Sequence

    Posted by Mark Dershowitz on August 18, 2006 at 5:59 pm

    Hello everyone. My question today is reguarding, mixing 16×9 and 4×3 footage in the same timeline. I know if you crop out the letter box in the 16×9 footage and fill the frame up with it, thats a fix. but is there another way to do this, without croping. Of course I can keep the letterbox, and make the 4×3 footage widescreen with the widesreen filter. Does anyone have another idea? Thanks

    Its much much better to letterbox 4×3 footage than to blow up 16×9 to fill a 4×3 screen. Would you scale a photoshop image to 200%? The same applies in video. BUT now, if you are only going to DVD or internet, that may be acceptable for you.
