what kind of camera? if it's letterbox then it's not widescreen. so you edit in the 4:3 project settings. if you have a camera that uses digital squeeze or some kind of anamorphic grab then that's widescreen (also cameras with 16:9 CCD chips) and you edit that in the 16:9 project settings.
now if it's a regular 4:3 camera and you shot letterbox. open it in the 4:3 setting, apply the "transform" under the distort tab in the menu section, and change the height and only height to about 129%. that will stretch the image and if you watch it on a widescreen monitor, TV, or display then you will get a full screen, widescreen. --- In [email protected], "bent730" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am editing a project that I have shot with my camcorder in the > widescreen mode so that the black bars display on the top and bottom > of the viewfinder.
