    Howdy, I’ve tried this both ways ie, Pan/crop & Track Motion. What my problem is I can’t get rid of the letterbox. When I open in pan and crop it is there. I then match output aspect ratio and in my preview window the letterbox does disappear. But when I try to do the same with a second track I always end up with a letterbox when I make the second image smaller. Hope this make sense. Thanks.

    I think I solved my own problem. I inadvertedly used a rendered project file that showed letterbox. I have to covert my AVCHD files to 4/3 format for delivery to a cable company. And, when I do this it letterboxes the image. I had grabbed a rendered file. I tried every which way to remove the bars in Pan and crop and Track motion, and I now believe it is not possible. To test, I reimported some MTS files from an SCHD card and it imported with no letterbox, but it showed letterbox on the preview window. Then in Pan and Crop I ‘matched the output aspect ratio’ and presto the letterbox was gone in the preview window. PIP should be easy to do now without letterbox! Hope all this make sense.
