  • Need Help with 4:3 Conversion

    I shot a concert in standard definition with the Z1U in squeeze mode. How do I convert the squeezed widescreen footage to a regular 4:3 size in Final Cut 5?

    I haven’t shot with squeezed in a long time, but if I remember correctly final cut will understand the difference between your caputred 16×9 footage shot with a 1.2 pixel aspect ratio and your 4×3 0.9 pixel aspect ratio sequence. It should automatically maintain the 16×9 nature of the footage with a letterbox when you place it in your 4×3 sequence, although you may need to render for both previewing for editing purposes and exporting to tape at full quality.

    best,

    Ben

    Unforntunately, it doesn’t work in the way you described. Thanks for the response, but does anyone else have any other suggestions???
