Do you have IN/OUT points cleared off the timeline?

Cuts are a transition element. IMHO, like any transition element, something must motivate them.
Musical elements (downbeats, into or outro of instrument, vocalist, etc.) can motivate a cut.
Reframes of subject might motivate a cut.
Ultimately, what motivates the cut? What drives it? What demands it be there?
Don’t look at it exclusively through a tech “lens”, seeking a tech “function” that will give you the formula.
Also look through the “story” lens. Beginning, middle, end. Large or small movement. Energy levels/changes. Emotion. Frame composition and content.
And now you are having some fun! I am sure you will make something terrific.

Thanks gents – you guys know, of course, how painfully simple that was. For reasons beyond my comprehension, I was waaaaaayyyy over-thinking it.
I have a look now I am pretty confident the client will be very happy with and it took oh, at least 5 minutes to create and render.
I’m going to have to adjust my medication levels, I think. ;~)

I agree with you on the backups, Adrian. Regrettably it isn’t my machine and I do not get to make those decisions.

Sounds like closed captioning to me. You can Google search for captioning services near you. They can let you know turnaround time and costs. Be sure you specify your deliverables (file type, whether it’ll be on the web or just the internal newtwork, etc.)
Not every desktop PC media player will necessarily support captions, or switching them on and off.

There’s not much of anything new under the sun. Techniques like this go in and out of favor. Then, like fashion statements, they revive years later.
Graphics went through a 3D fit when low-cost 3D software became available. Then everyone tired of it and went back to very simple flat 2D looks. Then 3D started showing up again years later.
It’s almost literally like tracking fashions.

Plus, you should expect some loss of visual quality – you are taking it down to less than half the original resolution.

Yeah, Todd, that’s a long story.
Short version – our company set up an “arrangement” for the CC suites with Adobe. We are not able to get updates from the cloud at the local level for our suites. That is all being handled at the corporate level, and they are still figuring out how they want to roll out updates .

This technique has often helped me pull better keys. . .

It is possible I am misunderstanding you. But since 1920×1080 is a 16:9 AR, and 720×576 is not a 16:9 AR, a letterboxed appearance is exactly what you would expect, I would think.
If you want to force it to full screen in 720×576, your video will be stretched vertically and look a bit odd.
