hey guys,
I have a project that's b-roll on top of an interview. I'm not yet used to using different formats together and I realized that the b-roll is 16:9 and the interview is regular DV dimensions. I'd like to use them together.
I've tried lobbing off the sides of the 16:9 and scaling to around 130, but I don't like how it looks. I'd like to try keeping the b-roll 16:9, but when I make the sequence anamorphic obviously the interview gets stretched.
Is there a way to put these together in the same sequence without stretching the interview or without squeezing the 16:9 b-roll?

Just fit the 16:9 in the center of your canvas and just have the traditional letterbox effect. If it is a layer above your interview you will have to put a black matte in between them (above the interview and below you 16:9 b-roll). You can get a quick matte by clicking the button on the bottom right of the viewer window.
