multi camera and match output aspect
Hoping someone can help. Did a 3 camera shoot and trying to using multicamera in sony vegas. Unfortunately I shot 2 at 4:3 aspect the other 16:9.
I put my 3 tracks in and tried to match the output aspect so they are all 16:9 as is my project settings. When I do the merge for multicamera editing , the 2 tracks revert back to 4:3. After I start choosing the shots with multicamera editing, dont know how to get them all at 16:9 .
Any suggestions.
Thanks

You can’t with Son’y multicam because it places all of the tracks into a single event as takes and the event can only have one aspect.
You need to use a multicam tool like VASST Ultimate S Pro’s QuadCAM tool. This will copy the events onto a master track retaining the cropping so that your 16:9 aspect is preserved on you 4:3 events.

You can try this, it worked for me.
After synching up 4:3 & 16:9 tracks, create mulicam track and make cuts using multicam mode.
Then click “expand to mulitple tracks” (in same menu, right under “create mutlicam track”)
You will be asked if you want to “Keep unused takes as muted events”.
I selected no and the tracks were split up in timeline.
I then was able to fill 16:9 screen with the 4:3 track using the “Track Motion” button (above level slider in track control)
Remember to hold ctrl key while selecting all clips you want to expand so all 4:3 clips fill 16:9 screen the same.
I was able to add fades, etc. to each clip. Remember to uncheck ripple edit so the clips stay synched if you decide to increase or decrease any clip’s length.
