Re: two dimensions wanted

Thank you for the reply...

Yes, I do understand the image stretching detail... and I like the "balloon" example you gave. This however isn't the exact issue.

I am trying to have a simple image of a man talking, with text bullet points coming up as he discusses a topic come up next to him. In order to make room for the text points, I took the 720x480 video of the man, and slid it to the left on the sequence (also 720x480), BUT that's where there's not enough room. I don't have enough room for the text at that dimension, or it will run off the page, or it would have to be condinsed too much if it were to stay on the page...SO, I want the background sequence to allow for more width.
Is there a more simple way to do this, and still being able to use the (already shot) 720x480 footage of the man.
The final video aspect ratio would be perfect if it were about 772x480, without the video of the man being scewed of course.
Does this answer everything?

I have already finished the projects, though I would like to know of a way to do exactly as discribed above.
