Re: Conversion 16:9 to 4:3
by Pat Ford on Jul 4, 2008 at 8:59:26 pm

Thanks for your contributions, gentlemen.

One thing I did not tell you….the footage is usually made up of the content of what once was two 16x9 screens. Sometimes these are arranged vertically; sometimes they are arranged horizontally (stacked). It’s the content of multiple screens in an exhibit.

So, this is what I have done. See if there is a problem….

I imported the footage (720x480) into Premiere. I interpreted the par to 1.2. I then scaled the video so that it all fit in the frame.

The down side to this, as someone mentioned, is that the video is much reduced in size, but all of the original footage is within the frame. And thus, the original composition is intact. For my purposes right now…I am logging…I think this is best.

Sound reasonable?

And have a great 4th weekend!!!

And Mark....I thank you for for contributions here and on other forums. Your answers are always well-written and knowledgeable. Furthermore, you do not succumb to the temptation of criticizing a relative noob (like me) for his lack of knowledge.

I think you should consider doing instructional books. Thanks for your help here and elsewhere.
