XL2 widescreen playback
Can anyone help?
When I shoot in 16:9 24p 2:3 and watch the footage on a TV, it isn't in widescreen. How come? Also, I have premiere pro 6. I can't figure a way to edit with 24p. Should I just pony up and get an Apple? Or does premiere 6 work with 24p? If so, how. Thanks. Rick |

16:9 recording requires a widescreen 16:9 monitor for proper playback. Failing that, you'll need a 4:3 monitor that is switchable to 16:9 (by adding a letterbox matte; most pro JVC, Sony and Panasonic broadcast-quality production monitors have this option).
Regarding the AP6 question, you'll want to post that in our "The World Premiere" forum. |

When you shoot in 16:9 you're shooting at a wider than 4:3 ratio. So, when you watch it on a 4:3 TV the TV sqeezes it together to display it in 4:3 To solve this, in editing.. simply keep the image size relative, and lower the width... into a 4:3 composition. Render it out in a 4:3 comp.. it will be letterboxed.. and then on the TV you will have your widescreen image. |

You could also just burn to DVD. When played back on a 4:3 TV the DVD player will provide the letterbox.

Thanks,
I got it working through premiere...sort of. But you guys cut off about 10 hours of fretting while searching in the wrong direction. Thanks, Rick |

I have an older Sony monitor that does not seem to have the capability of doing 16:9 . Is there perchance a convertor or sumthing ?

- Ray -->>> I have no idea how it's done, but my 9 inch Sony monitor has had the overscan switch adapted to show 16:9. I picked it up second hand so I don't know any more than that, except that there is an additional non-standard switch on the back panel that alternates the overscan between 4:3 and 16:9. Find a friendly techy guy - good luck! Michael |
