    THANK YOU!

    It works now! I needed to add “Image Aspect Ratio” to the bin’s column, select “4:3” and changed “Reformat” (which is also selected to the bin’s column) to “Pillarbox/Letterbox”

    Thanks for all the help! I knew it was something simple, and it was escaping me.

    All the best!

    Correct, file open bin, option or ctrl drag it into the HD project bin.

    It was captured from a VHS, so no flags. The project was set to capture 16:9, and the tape was digitized that way. So it needs to be pillerboxed. It’s just stretched in the HD project.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hey Glenn,

    Thanks for responding.

    I have changed the SD project to 4:3 from 16:9. So in the SD project it looks correct. However, the file that was from the 4:3 project that is now in the HD project is stretched, and the reformat column has no effect.

    (I have two projects, the main project is HD, and there is archival footage that is SD, so we are capturing SD footage to the SD project, and opening the bins into the HD project.)

    I don’t want to apply an effect after the fact.

    Additionally, I’m hoping I don’t have to recapture the SD footage because it is long.

    thanks for any more help!

    Hey Bill,

    Huge Help! Thanks, I’ll look into the Panasonic GH3, thats right in my price range, and being able to easily use some of my nikon glass makes it even better!

    Thanks for the advice!

    Good point!

    Yea I mostly shoot on 7D/5D for the web. And the other thing is I have some buddies who are sound guys that have really nice gear. I just need something good in the event that they are on a gig or something. Which happens a lot.

    I’m leaning towards 702…

    Thanks Eric!

    The VANC works with the HD capture. It has no effect on the SD.

    Thanks sir!

    Yea, I was messing with the shutter and iris on the camera and got better results. I have it at 1/30 at an F-stop of 5.6. So coming in it looks sharp, with out much flicker at all.

    The projector does not have any flicker in that department, but it has some speed adjustments, and light enhancers.

    My goal is to get it in as best I can, then bring the image “up” using FCP or After Effects to sharpen, de-flicker, etc.

    thanks for the help!
