XL2's Widescreen 16:9. smaller resolution then 720x480?!
I am having some problems with rendering out some of my videos for the net. I want to get the video's resolution lower then 720x480 and when I cut that in half to 360x240 it renders out in 4:3 (I think) and the image is scrunched up. It looks horrible and isn't very pretty to look at.
How would I go about making the resolution smaller on my videos for internet viewing and keep my 16:9 widescreen? As always, I appreciate any help. Thanks for your Time. - Travis |
Make sure you keep the pixel aspect ratio to .909

I am exporting in Premiere Pro and my settings on export are:
Codec: DIVX 5.2.1 Codec Resolution: 360x240 Framerate: 23.976 Frames per second. Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (2.1) That's what I have. I don't know much about what you were saying Bill, could you explain a little bit more? Thanks! |
I can't speak too much about Premier, since I'm a Vegas user. Nevertheless, if you're exporting to a 4:3 format (360/240=4:3), then the standard PAR is .909, not 2.1. This will give you a letterboxed 16:9 within the 4:3 matte.

Thanks a lot, Bill. The whole thing was really my mistake. I wanted to cut the resolution in half thinking that the smaller file would remain widescreen, but 360x240 like you said was 4:3. So, the correct resolution I was looking for was 320x240.
I exported with that and it worked like a charm. Thanks. - Travis |
See the following thread where I throw in calculations:
http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...threadid=38860 You need to first calculate the size of the full resolution at 1.0 pixel aspect ratio (square pixels) and then divide it by how much you want (usually 50%). |
