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 don't even zoom the 4:3, I just leave it as is and the black mattes chop off the top and bottom. (I do sometimes adjust a clip up or down, so the chop doesn't chop off a person's head, but that's it, no zooming.)

Canadian Bingo is about equally mixed between 4:3 and 16:9 clips.

Separate Ways - I believe the Airwolf stuff was all 4:3 and SGA was all 16:9. (there are a few stray 16:9 clips I didn't squish down...if you see the logo, ignore them.)

Make Your Own Kind of Music is what happens when I just didn't care. (Computer broke, too hard to fix on iMovie, the only thing available to me at the time, and Vividcon deadline was looming.) So it's all mixed and not normalized at all.

Thanks so much. I've just taken a look and they look great. I really didn't think I'd like the 4:3 screen, but with the cropping it looks good. I think that might be my solution.

(I couldn't open Make Your Own Kind of Music). I got a screen full of text).

Many thanks.
