aspect conversion help

[Steve Laramie]

I am making my demo reel for DPing. One problem though. One of the movies was shot 16:9 and exported 4:3 so its letter boxed. The rest is 16:9 native without any letterboxing. How do I mix them so its the same ratio.

you can convert the 4:3 to match your other clips using compressor.

how? should I just export the non letterboxed video to 4:3 to match the letter box?

do you want your reel letter boxed or 16x9?
since only one clip is 16x9 i would convert that to 4x3

you will loose alot of picture information-
if that is unappealing you can letterbox the other clips
