Quick tech vidding question...

[ash48]

I've been thinking more about the bromance vid and realised if I used footage from lots of different shows I would have a mix of both 4.3 and 16.9 aspect ratios.

I think that'll look pretty yuk. I wouldn't want to stretch the 4.3 nor crop the 16.9. Does anyone have any idea how I could make the different ARs work together?

Damn, idea might be dead before I've even begun...

Well, you can always crop the sides off the 16:9 footage. I know that's not really desirable, but it looks a helluva lot better than stretching the 4:3.

If you only have a few 4:3 shows, then you might be able to get away with zooming in on just those clips.

If you have a pretty even mix, you can also try splitting the difference by cropping in the sides of the 16:9 halfway to 4:3. That way you only have to zoom in the 4:3 halfway and only have to crop the 16:9 halfway, if that makes any sense.

I really don't want to stretch the 4:3 footage.

I like the last idea - splitting the difference. I think (if this actually works), I'll get an even mix - considering how many shows will be in 4:3.

Thanks. I think I will give that a go.
