HI there. Do you know what's the aspect ratio tool to manage the pan/scan in edius 4.6?

I'd like to pan/scan the clips adquired in a HVX.

I can´t find the answer anywhere in the documentation or forums, the most i could get to is to add the chromakey filter but it doesn´t track the scaned area from cut to cut, the letterbox moves.

Is there a workflow in Edius to adquire in 16/9 and pan/scan to fit 2:35 or any other aspect ratios?
 
Do you just need to select a 4:3 area of the 16:9 frame for each cut/scene, or do you need to move that 4:3 area to adjust or create pans?
For the former, the Layout function (default key = F7 for EDIUS 4.x) will do.
For the latter, use the 3D Picture-in-Picture, but this will have lower resolution as the 3D PiP keyer receives its video information in project resolution, and not the original resolution.
 
Thanks Bhiga. The camera records in 16:9 and when ímported in my 16:9 timeline it keeps the original frame complete, so I see the whole image captured by the camera.

What i´d loke to do is to apply a mask to each clip to crop the image to fit a smaler aspect ratio, and also be able to reframe the original image in the letterbox.

Maybe it makes more sense now.
 
For 16:9 clips in 4:3, you can do this - just create a 4:3 EDIUS project and bring the 16:9 clips in and crop/position them in Layout.
 
Bhiga, big thanks

I was missing some of the layout options. It seems that, as you said, layout can do everything I needed.
 
Sorry, I'm not well-versed in FCP... Try the FCP section?
Of course you could run Windows via Bootcamp (or Fusion, or Parallels) and install the EDIUS demo. :)
