SD footage inside HD
If I am editing some footage that has both HD & SD footage and my final output is in HD, of course the SD clips will have the black strips on both sides of the image. I know that there is a filter that will let you upconvert the SD footage to fit the HD screen at the expense of losing some of the viewing parts of the SD clip. In the WWE (Wrestling), they use a filter that keeps the full SD footage but instead of the black strips on the sides, it looks like a blurred extension of the sides of the clip. Fits the HD screen really nice. I have not seen any other sports use it. Does anyone know about this filter or know where to get it from? I hope I have explained this right.

The SD footage when scaled up to HD has pillar boxing because it was originally 4:3. Either the 4:3 needs to be scaled up further to fill the edges and head room adjusted or the blurred edge effect can be created by putting the 4:3 on video track 2, copying the clip down to video track 1 and the zooming up till the frame fits the edges and then adding a gaussian blur plugin and adjusting the blur to taste.
Once you have done one clip, all the other clips on video track 1 that need the same treatment can be done by copying the first clip and then pasting attributes ( motion & filters )
