You could try to do it in After Effects.
In my opinion AE has a much better scaling algorithm than FCP.
Keep an eye on the fields though and always check in a video monitor.

Hi Nolan,
Thanks for the suggestion.
The plug-in “Polygon-Particle Collision”, is that a free plug?
Im working in Cinema4D 8.001.

Thanks man!

If it’s a widescreen filter you want to apply, you can make a still in photoshop with an alpha channel.
Import that into FCP and put it on a track above the rest of the clips.
I’ve also just converted to FCP and I love it, but this is one thing I really miss.

You cuold get more material by slowing one or both clips down a bit, or add a freeze frame, or…
There are many ways to skin a horse 😉

I’m sorry to say, but AVID doesn’t support the AVR codecs in OSX.
You could install them in OS9 as a workaround though.

Hey, that’s AVID for ya!
I’m soo happy we made the switch to FCP!
