Hi all, I'm a newbie and I'm hoping someone here can help me out with this.

I've rendered a show reel in Premiere Pro in the 4:3 aspect ratio. Most of the footage was all rendered in 3DS max at 2:35:1. The 4:9 rendering is fine... the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are what I wanted.

What I want to do now is render the project at 16:9 but when I do this the image becomes squashed either side.

I've imported the 4:3 rendered AVI file into a new 16:9 project, however the image does not fill the screen. When I scale the image to fill the preview window coreectly I lose image quality when rendering.

I've tried to use the interpret footage options, which scale the images, just not in proportion. It stretches them horizontally and not vertically.

Is the only solution now, to re-do the whole thing in 16:9 ? e.g. set up a new progect at 16:9 and import each and every shot individually and start editing again from scratch ?

I want to edit this for the net, without the bars, or little bars (I would get less at 16:9 than 4:3) I just can't get it to render properly.

I was also curious to know wether you can set a project at 2:35:1 I've noticed the anomorphic option for rendering out has similar dimensions, but I can't see any option to set the project at this ratio.

Thanks for your time.

Steven.
