For those who are interested – I got the 16:9 clips from Liquid Edition 5.62 to work with Particle Illusion 3. It turned out to be simpler than everyone seems to have thought. I exported either an AVI or a fused sequence into PI 3 (either worked), did the effect and rendering work on the clip (which has now been changed in the process exporting from LE 5.62 to PI 3 from 16:9 to 4:3 which precipitated my original question), reimported the finished PI 3 clip back into LE 5.62. I put the new 4:3 clip with PI 3 effect on it on the LE timeline, went into the new clips properties and changed the aspect ratio back to 16:9. The clip re renders itself back into 16:9 with all proportions and perspectives exactly correct. The finished clip with the effect seamlessly works with the original. I’ve tested it with several clips and they have all worked. Happy ending.

Thanks to all for their comments and help. I learned quite a bit in the process.

Aaraon,

Thanks very much for your through reply. I’ll try when I get home.

Best to your father. Hope all goes well.

Thanks again,

Thanks to all your replies. I’ll try everything and look forward very much to Aaron’s reply. I’m traveling right now and can’t attempt any of this for a couple days.

By-the-way it also may be I’m just dense.

Thanks for your trail of posts on this subject. I use Liquid
Edition 5.62 and Particle Illusion 3 and in NTSB. I’m surprised at how much work this appears to be. I’ll try to get this to work using what you’ve sent.

I hope Wondertouch can make this easier in the next release. 16:9 is going to be more and more common and PI 3 is a great program. It would be a shame if it didn’t get used more because it’s hard make it work in 16:9.

Is this to say that you can’t work in 16:9 in PI 3?

Thanks for the quick reply. Now how does one set the pixel ratio. I see no setting for this in the program.

Sorry to be so dense.
