One of the guy i work with just did an edit in a standard 4x3 timeline and footage and now the clients wants to know if he can get it widescreen. Is there a way to do it??

thanks
 
I discovered an interesting way to do this. I took the 4x3 sequence into another sequence and scaled it. In the motion tab set the scale to 140 and then go into the distort section and change Aspect Ratio to 40. This will give you the desired squeezed video that plays perfectly on a 16x9 display.

i believe you only have to scale up as far as 133. and if you want to keep the geometry of the frame from looking squished or stretched, i wouldn't distort it and just deal with losing picture at the top/bottom of the frame. but if the geometry is of no concern, then a setting of 33.33 (or -33.33, i forget which) will precisely size the 4x3 original to a 16x9 frame.
