I have been getting into 16x9 and using the "squeeze mode" on the DVX100B quite a bit now. One problem I found is that all my stock footage and graphics (intros, backgrounds, etc) are in a 4:3 format.

Is there anyway to pull this 4:3 footage in and re-size it to match the 16X9?
Sony Vegas 8.0, the 4x3 shows up in its native "square" fromat as an overlay and the 16x9 bleeds through on each side.

Thanks

There's not a lot you can do except zoom in to fill the sides, which of course crops off the top and/or bottom.
I guess...anyone else got anything?

Click to expand...

Go into pan/crop; right-click the frame; choose "Match output aspect."
 
When you do that, though, make sure you shoot THIN with the DVX, and in Vegas, make sure you always set your render settings to BEST -- because you're rescaling the image and those settings will get you the best results.
