Real 4:3 to 16:9
I’ve got a timelapse video of 720 x 576. This is it’s real dimensions as the digital stills camera is 4:3 format.
All i want to do is crop 100 pixels from the top, 71 pixels from the bottom to make a 16:9 (720 x 405) video file. The top and bottom is not important to keep.
My 4:3 input file is in the correct format and the sequence is 16:9 anamorphic.
When i do this in Final Cut Pro using percentages and crop option – it creates black bars. When i blow it up you lose quality (obviously).
Is there a simple way of cropping without blowing the sequence up??
Thanks

Thanks for the response. Thing is i have 17 videos in 4:3 720×576 format – 18 months worth!
The original photos – all 50,000 images, do exist as a good size (over 2500 pixels wide). But you can see why i dont’t want to re-do all the sequences. As a test i know i can set up a HD 1080 project, bring in the images as 4:3 and blow up on the 16:9 sequence, exporting as 720×405 will look fine but the time will be far too long.
Anyone know a good video crop tool??

Sure … Compressor is a fine video crop tool. Check the “Geometry” pane.
