aspect ratio problem - going mad

[Yas Kassana]

I am going mad.

Thanks in advance and yes I have used the search function and looked in youtube, but to no avail.

I need to get this wedding video to a couple on saturday, and I have been messing with this for 2 days and no sleep. Seriously no sleep. so you are my final call.

I have a project, 1920 x 817(cropped for 2.35:1) - When I convert to mainconcept MPEG2 PAL widescreen - the resulting video is not fitting into the TV!??!?i.e. it's not 2.35.1

Hell even the 16:9 native footage is 4:3.

Can someone help??Please - or I will kill bill.

You should just keep your project at a standard resolution (1080p) and add a matte for your 2.35:1. That is the least problematic way to go about this.

But for a solution you might try dropping your edited timeline into a new 1920x1080 timeline (Nest the project file) and render from there.

Doesn't solve the 16:9 footage. also, I have tons of footage. Thanks anyway.
