Hi All,


I recently shot footage with the anamorphic adapter with my DVX100. Is there a way I can make it compatible with a non 16x9 TV? Shrink it to fit 4x3. Also will the detail increase or decrease? Thanks so much for all your help!


Best Regards,

Mark

Two ways...

First, create a new 4.3 sequence and nest the 16.9 one inside. Render and ther eyou go.

Second...

Create a DVD using DVDSP. Tell SP to force letterbox.

Looks great. No detail loss.

Good luck,

Thanks so much for your help, but for some reason it didn't work for me. Is it because I am using final cut 3.0? Thanks again!

Maybe -- I know you won't have compressor... there are other ways.. give me a few minutes.

The nested sequence should have worked though.

Ok -- here's what you need to do in v3.0.4

Nest the anamorphic sequence in a regular 720x480 sequence. Control-click on the clip in the timeline and open in viewer. In the motion tab roll down the distort triangle and scroll down to aspect ratio. Change that to -33. Minus 33.

There's the v3 answer number 1.

I'll keep working to see how best to export with QT.

I have a similiar issue...I shot a documentary in Squeeze(24p) mode and I will be broadcasting on cable and making a dvd. will I have to make any changes to broadcast on reg 4x3 tv? And also what do I need to do to the DVD if any thing...I'm capturing in FCP4.1 in Anamorphic mode in reg 29.97 timeline.

Is this "Force Letterbox" feature in DVDSP only available in the advanced modes because I can't seem to find it!
