To fill the black bars you can put a copy of the clip in the timeline below the original clip.
Zoom the copy till he fills the 16:9 room.
Put some blur on it.
The original clip is still 3:4 but the black bars are showing now parts of the copy.Good luck

In these cases I put the 4:3 footage as 4:3 in the 16:9 project.
Why not?Phocas Kroon

Because track 2 is used for audio, put the insert on video track 3

When you want to insert a video clip it is easier to put this on an empty track above the editted timeline instead of making room in the existing video track.
Good luck

To avoid rendering of the whole clip after placing fade-in and/or fade-out, make a cut some seconds after the start of the clip and before the end of the clip.

If you have the capture list with the time codes ready you can number the scenes according to the place in the movie (edit code)
If you want to start the movie f.e. with the scene on tape 1 timecode 0:25:20, you fill in the edit code 010 in the edit code column.
If the next scene in the movie will be on tape 3 time code 0:31:40 you will fill in there edit code 020. etc. etc.You can check the edit order on paper by sorting on edit code.
I use the numbering 010. 020, 030, 040 etc to change the edit order by using f.e. 042, 054 etc.
Then you sort back on tapeno and timecode and start manual caturing.
Use in the name of the clip the edit code. In the project window all clips are listed then in the movie order.
Parts from the tape you will not use, you don’t capture.
Good luck

My advise: before capturing make the edit on paper.
I make a shotlist of each tape in excel with columns: tapeno, timecode(hr:min:sec) and description.
Then I add a new column for the edit code in edit order. (first clip in final movie code 010, next 020 etc)
Now I sort the excel list in edit order by sorting on edit code column.
Then I check if the edit order is OK and modify this by changing the edit code.
I sort back to the shotlist by sorting on tape code and time code.
I use this list as capture list to capture the scenes ( or blocks of scenes belonging to each other) manually and give each clip the name of the edit code.
After importing in Premiere all clips will be shown in the project window sorted in edit order.It looks as a time consuming method but you save a lot of time in the editing phse.
Good luck.

If you put “the city” on a separate track you have to fade out only this track and leave the background on the other track.
Good luck

If you export your timeline to AVI there will be one audio track
Put this AVI in a new project and export this in the different formats you want (DVD, MPEG 2 etc)Good luck

Maybe exporting the sound from project 1 and importing in project 2 can be a solution.
Good luck
