  • Resizing 16:9 sequqnce cut in 4:3

    Posted by Kevin on October 16, 2007 at 12:50 am

    Hi list,

    I have 16:9 anamorphic footage which I cut in error in a 4:3 sequence. Ultimately what I want want is to output in 16:9

    I thought buy creating a new sequence with anamorphic checked that I could copy and past the sequence and it would resize to 16:9 but appanrently it remembers it original settings and is further restretched.

    Would anyone be able to suggest a metchod where I can transpose my sequence from it 4:3 aspect ratio and so I can output to fullframe 16:9?

    Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

    Warmest,

    Kevin

    Once on the proper time line, you will have to go under the motion tad and reset the settings.

    Thank you so much for your prompt response. OK, I have resized in a sequence that is 4:3 with anamorphic checked and it looks good. Yet when I export I get a 4:3 movie.

    Are there settings I need to change in the export to maintain the 16:9 image I’m viewing.

    On another note might I have gone stepped through the sequence, matched back to the original footage and rebuilt the project that way to maintain my 16:9 image.

    Again many thanks for your assistance. I hope I’m close.

    Warmest,

    Kevin

    I have noticed that when I export as an AVI that I do get a 16:9 image. However when I export as a self contain QT from the same sequence, I get a 4:3 image. At least a partial workaround but I’m still curious if anyone might be able to tell me how I can get a 16:9 QT our of FCP?

    Of further note, the 4:3 QT I get, when opened in Premiere (I know) that QT shows up as a 16:9 image also!

    I’d b very grateful if anyone could shed some illumination on the subject.

    Warmest,

    Kevin
