I think I was trying to create something I couldn’t. I’m not using shot footage, we’re creating a series of animations from stills. they will be displayed on 3 HDTV monitors running synchronously. some images span 2 or 3 monitors. So i was concerned about doing the squeeze 4×3 that unsqueezes in playback. I don’t know why, I just didn’t think it would work. We had to keep the resolution to 1024×768 because the source material did not allow us to go full HD. We’re playing back in MPEG 2.
So I think my best option is to produce at 1024 x 576.
Thanks for your input. Better planning next time.
by the way – do you think the squeeze to unsqueeze would have worked in this instance?
Thanks
