Need to Get My 16:9 16mm Film Transfer to 4:3 in FCP

Hi,

I projected my 16mm film footage and recorded it within the 4:3 zone indicators on the HVX. I recorded in 720p24. Essentially what I have now is a 4:3 film frame living inside of a 16:9 frame. There is extra space on the left and right. How in FCP is it best to crop these sides out and export it as true 4:3?

In checking my sequence information I can see that it is working at a frame size of 960X720 with a pixel aspect ratio of the same size. I've tried looking at the effect filters that FCP has to offer but I'm not sure that is where I should be looking. Any help is appreciated.

-M.
 
You can crop it during the encode if you are using compressor within FC Studio.
