Errrr . . . NTSC is 720x480 only. What are you trying to do?
OK.
The most mathematically correct way to get a 2.35:1 crop is . . .
1) Uncheck the "Lock aspect ratio" button on the left of the pan/crop tool.
2) In the "Position" boxes, change "Width" to 2350 and "Height" to 1000.
3) Re-click the "Lock aspect ratio" button, and make sure the Size About Center button underneath it is clicked.
4) Bring the sides in to be even with the frame. You'll have cut off the proper amount from the top and bottom.
Then, yes, you render as Widescreen. It will be 16:9 with black bars on the top and bottom.

whoa... so how off is my 1920 x 917 crop with square pixels?
Also, I noticed on a DVD I burned, that I should have accounted for the 10% safety if I really wanted 2.35 on a TV meaning make it 10% even thinner... I would lose even more pixels but that would get me a 2.35 ratio right?
Please let me know if you think I am understanding the proportions and also please explain why/how your method ends up being mathematically superior than simply setting a certain vertical pixel count.
Glad you answered David!

BTW: please note the typo on the post above as it should of course read 1920 x 817
Hey David I just finished messing with the one I had started before I posted this question and at the end of the day I decided to look at your post again.
This time I understood what you were saying, lol... I was sorta burnt out when I first read it. Good news is that Vegas defaults the 2350 x 1000 to 1920 x 817 when brought down to size. So I got it right as Vegas would have rounded the same way as I did. Not a big surprise yes but it is still nice to know that I don't have to re-do it cause of wanting to trust Vegas on whether or not to include one more line. lol... anyhow...
I got it cropped and I love it!
I have been messing with 2.35 and I am probably never going to do anything but 2.35 for a long time (unless I go wider!)
NEXT QUESTION:
If you get the time David, how can I deal with the horrendous cropping? The 10% on either side is NOT something I like... I LOVE what 2.35 did to the framing but in a DVD I get more like 1.88 and I am losing all sorts of image resolution and so on... I HATE this... VERY frustrating...
The only thing I can think of is to make the image smaller so as to have black space on either side. This would bring the original framing back into play.
If that has been done before, then how much? I was thinking perhaps something like 8% on either side so you might have bars, you might crop but chances are any given TV set will crop very little if at all? Perhaps only 5% to try to prevent the black bars on the sides which might be awkward...?
BTW! Take a look at it by clicking on my sig!
