[Noah Kadner]

The widescreen filter in FCP should do the trick.

thanks again, just one other ? after doing that i would just crop to my desired look… also, when in squeeze mode is it best to shoot interviews not as tight, so you won’t just have a tight face in the box

Greetings,

Appreciate the DVD on dvx100… however, i am a newbie and frustration sets in quickly… I really like the film look with cool widescreen (narrow)… the best way to accomplish this on final cut studio 2 is? Also, when shooting interviews in squeeze mode is it best to shoot loose? I am using the same cool widescreen look with the interviews also…

Thanks, forgive me if these have been touched on ad nauseum

Well no- in squeeze mode what you see in the viewfinder is the full 16:9 image. If you plan to crop it would make more sense to shoot in 4:3 and frame for 16:9. Then you could move shots around in post.

You can’t beat a deck- much faster and more reliable. But any cheapo Sony Handycam would do the trick.
