Mixing 16:9 and 4:3 on same timeline in PPro 1.5
I have some footage from two cameras--FX1 and GL2. FX1 footage is 16:9 SD, where the GL2 footage is 4:3. What I would like, on the final DVD, is when I cut between the two views, that the TV would present the different aspect ratios. I.e., when the 16:9 footage is playing, the TV would display 16:9, and when the 4:3 is playing, the TV would display 4:3. I've seen DVDs that do this, as well as TV shows, but I'm not sure how to achieve the same effect. Any thoughts or pointers? Is this something that can be done in the editor, in producing the final video for import to Encore?
Thanks, Matt |

Depending on your system, this conversion can be quite slow. Our beta DV processor will do this conversion on the fly (either at the point of capture or on existing AVI files). If you are interested, please PM me for more info. |

So I guess I can either have 4:3 picture switching between 4:3 fullscreen and 4:3 letterbox, or a 16:9 picture with the 4:3 cuts having the blank area on either side of the screen, but not both....I was hoping to be able to get roughly the same effect on wide screens TVs as on 4:3 TVs, only on widescreen the 16:9 cuts would be full screen and the 4:3 cuts wouldn't be...and on 4:3 TVs the 4:3 cuts would be full screen and the 16:9 would be "letterbox".
Thanks, Matt |
