What is your delivery format? You can deliver 4:3 centre cut and no one will know you shot 16:9. Otherwise you may have to pillarbox your 4:3 footage if you are creating a letterbox style or future-proofing for an HD blow-up master.
I just dealt with updated delivery specs for a series that was originally 4:3 for first two seasons but this year they went 16:9. They couldn’t use anything from the old 4:3 bank of shots they had because blowing up 133% was too soft, so they had plenty of re-shooting.
Anyways, it’s not a simple solution. As you well can see, a 133% blowup looks just like that, if you are limited to FCP sodtware solutions. Maybe check into a house that has a teranex and uprez your 1 hour to an HD format and then down convert to your shooting format for input into your editing station.
