    4:3 SD to 16:9 HD? Or 4:3 SD to 16:9 SD?

    as long as i can get the footage into 16.9 i would be happy.

    the footage i have was recorded in 4.3 SD on a canon xl1s video camera.

    if i could scale it to 16.9 SD that would be ideal to tie in with other footage recorded in 16.9 SD on other cameras.

    Double click on a clip to load it into the Viewer. Click on the MOTION tab, increase the scale by 33% to make it fill the screen, then adjust the position so that you see the area of focus you want. Repeat for all the footage. OR, if you want the framing to be the same for all, once you adjust the first on, copy and then PASTE ATTRIBUTES to all the rest.

    Then render.

    can the footage all filmed on a static camera with a tripod be converted to 16.9
    by using the wireframe in FCP

    That’s kind of a sloppy way to do it but yes.

    Dave, I think he means the footage is one shot that doesn’t change or zoom, so he can apply one global change to the resolution and cropping and be done in a single step.

    yeah thats what i meant all the footage was on a tripod in a static position without excessive zooming panning etc.
