16:09 problem urgent

[shivro]

hi.
i have recently filmed and edited a music video.
it was filmed in 16 by 9 format and while i was editing i presumed that it was in 16:09. when i exported it and played it back on my tv i dicoved that it did not have the conventional bars and there for was not in 16:09.
dose any body know why this may be and how i could get it in to the requied format. thanks

are you playing it on a regular 4:3 tv? or a widescreen(16:9) tv?

 

[shivro]

i belive its a standard 4:3 tv

 

[Chonkey]

your gunna need to find a program that will let you scale the 16:9 down to 4:3 (like we see when we buy letter box movies) others wise your gunna neeed a 16:9 tv to veiw your video properly.

when i remeber the name of a program that can do that ill post here for ya.

cheers

You could try importing the project into a new Premiere project set for 4x3 and go from there to 4x3 output.

Different subtleties between old Premieres and Pro for this, so if you have problems, say which one we need to sort out.

They can only move if they are separate clips on the timeline, so use Motion to move them back where you want them.
