  • problem letterboxing 16×9 video

    Posted by Chrisyocum on September 19, 2005 at 3:29 am

    I shot several 16×9 sequences that I now want to letterbox for DVD. For the first few sequences I created a new 4×3 sequence and then performed an overwrite edit of my 16×9 footage into that sequence and boom, my footage was letterboxed perfectly. However, with my final 16×9 sequence, when I try to do the same thing the footage comes up as squeezed into 4×3 as opposed to becoming letterboxed 16×9 footage. What could possibly be the problem here. Please help deadline in the morning.

    souns like you have the settings as 4:3 anamorphic … uncheck the anamorphic setting and you should be good to go

    hey chris

    in the browser, select your original 16×9 sequence and check the sequence settings (Cmd-0) … what are the settings?
    again in the browser, select the 4:3 sequence that you dropped the 16×9 sequence into, again check the sequence settings … what does this one say?

    neither should be set as anamorohic, they should identical except for the different frame size.

    if that seems to be the case, then quit, trash prefs and restart … see if that helps

    cheers
    Andy
