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...

I've seen the suggestion where you make the vid in 16:9, but on the top layer of the vid, put two black solid colour blocks on either side, reducing the visible screen of the tracks underneath down to 4:3.

I've never tried it and it would depend on you vidding prog not trying to stretch the 4:3 source to fit in the 16:9, I think that depends on individual progs, but thinking about it, it seems a logical suggestion, just not sure if it would work for you as you would still need to manipulate the 16:9 source if you need either of the sides, hopefully never both!

Yeah - I think it will be tricky. I don't want the 4:3 to look stretched. Zooming could work, but it might depend on the quality of the footage. I think I will just have to play when (*g* and IF!) I get the footage I'm hoping to get.
