Thread: Stretching 4:3 to 16:9...

OK, I have some footage that was recorded natively at 16:9, but has been squeezed into a 4:3 frame... How do I unsqueeze it in Vegas, so that I can view it at 16:9 in the Preview Window whilst editing?

MS.

I would just use track motion to pull it back out to 16.9

Good morning everybody. Slept like a log.

This is what I do:

#1 - Check my Project Properties: Have I set/corrected for 16:9? Go File>Properties>Template

#2 - Check my Event Properties: Right click on an Event, open "Properties" and click on "Media" tab and confirm my "Pixel Aspect Ratio" (PAR) is correctly set to my media.

#3 - Check Aspect Previewing: Right click on the actual Preview Window and confirm "Simulate Device Aspect Ratio" is checked.

. .and that's what I do.

If THIS doesn't sort you out then get back here.

Grazie
