Hey Shane, thanks for the reply

Do you think the back ground image is stretched instead of it being the last few pixels of the 4:3 image that is “copied and pasted” to fill in the pillars?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks

Hi, not sure if this is the correct place to post, probably not! So sorry

Can anyone tell me if there is a name for this effect look that is (and has been) used when working with 4:3 footage to fill a 16:9 frame.

You are basically copying the last few pixels from the 4:3 frame and pasting them to cover up the black vertical space (in other words, filling up the frame). Obviously a blur has been added to the repeated pixels as not to draw attention away from the original 4:3 image.

I hope this makes sense and i hope my embedded image comes out!
