Creative Ways to Mix Aspect Ratios in Your Projects
Published by Matthew Jeppsen August 31st, 2007 in Formats, News, Post-Production, Tutorials
Here’s another detailed tutorial from the ever-useful Ken Stone site, this one on how to use 4:3 footage in 16:9 projects (and vice versa). High-Definition native widescreen camcorders are now a relatively cheap commodity, yet so many video projects still require a standard-definition 4:3 aspect deliverable. And if you’ve done any amount of video production work, you’ve probably been called upon to mix a variety of formats from disparate cameras in projects. Thankfully, this article walks you through the basics and also presents a number of very inventive suggestions and real world examples that you can immediately put to use in your productions. The tutorial is written for Final Cut Pro users, but the ideas presented transfer well to other NLE’s. Highly recommended.

I wrote an article on this subject, with a somewhat different approach, here. My method is appropriate for versions of Final Cut previous to when the aspect ratio slider was introduced (if I remember correctly… I haven’t worked with such footage for a couple years).
