Switch from widescreen to standard
Hey guys,
I created a project in wide screen mode(selected when creating a new project). Now i want the same exact movie but in standard setting. I just want to cut off the extra space on the side not shrink it or disproportion it. I created a new standard project then imported the wide screen project into the standard one. When i watch the movie in the monitor it plays exactly how i want it. But when i export the movie, i get a squished movie. Whats going on??
Thanks for any help, any more info needed just let me know.

Horizontal Pixel aspect ratio, its 1.2 for WS .09 for Standard

Changing this does not help. For some reason black bars are being added to the sides of my footage. I can’t get rid of them. I captured in wide screen, then imported the wide screen project into a standard def project. but its still exporting a wide screen version. Even if i set the pixel ratio to .9.
Please don’t tell me i have to re-import and re-edit the entire video

When you say you captured in widescreen, what camcorder did you capture from?
Also when you say you have black bars on the sides is that in widescreen or standard?

I captured standard video, if i open just the video file its standard. the black bars are in both wide screen and and standard

[lumpynifkin] “I captured standard video,”
From what? -
Import your WS footage into a standard DV project. Use the motion control to stretch the footage on the X axis by about 25%. Then just pan with the motion control to keep interesting stuff on the screen.

thats the problem I’m having is that it looks exactly how i want it in play back(on the monitor in Premiere) but only when i export do i get the black bars on the side.

I captured from a cannon video camera. If i open up the video that i captured separate from premiere it looks fine and is in standard proportion.

The reason I’m asking what camcorder model you are capturing from is to determine what you are getting for footage, If you have black bars on the sides of a wS project and you captured as WS you may have letterboxed 4:3 footage The workflow will determine whats happening, you should have said from the start: “I am capturing WS footage from a CANONxxxxxx that was shot on a XXXXxxxx to a project using a NTSC Widescreen preset, then describe how you are exporting it, settings, etc.
