When extracting 16:9 from 4:3 it is not as easy to do the “center 1/3rd untouched” kind of thing since you are looking at the top and bottom of the images which doesn’t work to well with people shots… works better when extracting 4:3 from 16:9.
Use the pan & scan effect under the reformat tab. It is a quick and easy way to to a re-composition of the program for a different aspect ratio. Read the directions on how to divide the effect for your picture track first. Make sure it is set to HQ and you should be fine.
