Beginner question: can i have 16x9 and 4x3 footage on the same timeline?

Hi,
I am assembling a highlight promo reel for somebody and i have 16x9 and 4x3 footage. not sure what to do or which footage to convert, since i need them both for the promo. any suggestions would be appreciated, or please direct me to a past discussion.
thank you

If the majority of your footage is 4:3 work in a Timeline that is 4:3.
Your 16:9 footage will letterbox automatically to fit with black bars at top and bottom.
You could also cache the 4:3 material with the Widescreen filter to fake a 16:9 look.
If the majority is 16:9, use a 16:9 Timeline. Your 4:3 footage will pillarbox -black bars at left and right.
You could fill that area in by placing a copy of the 4:3 above itself on the Timeline. Enlarge and blur the lower layer to give your clip a complimentary "border". Simply blowing up 4:3 video to fit a 16:9 Timeline will make it look horrible.

  • Can I Edit SD and HDV footage at the same time in CS4?

    I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder and I'm looking at buying a Sony HDR-HC# HDV 1080i camcorder to use as a second camera on video shoots.  Can I edit footage from both cameras on the same timeline in CS4?    I'm using a PC, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with an Intel (R) Pentium (R) 2.80 GB processor with 2.5 GB of RAM.  Thanks!

    Do you already have CS4 ?
    CS5 is days away.  9 Days for the first look.
    I have a Windows XP 2005 with 3.4GHz with 4GB of ram and it cant handle HDV for HD video.
    I have a Sony HVR Z1U and use the in camera down-rez and edit in SD just fine.
    Like said before you really need a new computer to edit the HDV but if your going to DVD then your only using SD anyway.
    But to answer you question you can mix formats with CS4.
    As you can see my system ranks second from last on Bills Benchmark tests.

    Take the test to see how your system stacks up.

  • Can I have mail and contacts open at the same time

    I really want to be able to have one or more iCloud Apps open at the same time; for example, I may be looking up some info on a contact or in calendar in order to mail someone. At times I have just opened a different tab, but it seems that iCloud then gets messed up.
    I am running Windows 7 at work and the latest version fo Chrome.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I don't know in Chrome, but in Safari (pc or mac) you can open icloud.com twice on two different tab or windows and open one with contact and the other in Mail without messing up.  What kind of mess to do you experience?
    There is no other options to do what you want to do.  You need to click on the little top cloud to switch from one to another.
    Beside, I don't understand why even 2 open tab would help more than having to switch via the cloud icon.  I may need to cut/paste some info from contact or calendar from time to time, but switch via the cloud icon is not really painfull.

  • Can you have 3G and 4G toggles at the same time

    I have searched google/apple but can't find a mention anywhere that the 4G(LTE) toggle is possible to have as well as a 3G toggle.
    I have heard mention that the one usually replaces the other depending on the carrier plist (carrier update)
    i.e would adding "Enable3GSwitch" to the plist file show both toggles?
    In my current plist I can only see that the 4G toggle seems to be renamed from LTE i.e.
    DataIndicatorOverideForLTE is set to 4G.
    Obvioulsy find out if its possible to have both is needed before I rant and rave at Vodafone here in the UK.
    Thanks and Regards
    Jason.

  • Can i have sync and async listeners for the same queue ?

    Hello,
    I am a novice in JMS. Wondering experts over here could throw in some light !
    Can I set both synchronous and asynchronous listeners for a perticular queue.
    eg: pseudo code.
    status; // default to start
    run()
    setListener(Q1); // listener sets status to stop
    while(1)
    waitForUserPrompt(value1);
    switch(value1)
    a: fun1();
    break;
    b: fun2();
    break;
    fun1()
    while(status != stop)
    stay in loop.
    fun2()
    // synchronously wait for "stop"
    receive(Q1);
    // wait and do following important code!
    }

  • Can I have Recovery and HP Tools in the same partition?

    My HP originally came with 4 partitions. However, I needed one parition to install Ubuntu. Therefore I deleted the HP Tools partition since I backed up the HP Tools files and knew I could get another copy from HP. However, I would like to know if it is possible to add HP Tools to the Recovery partition? If so, how?

  • Can you have SATA and PATA drives at the same time?

    Right now I have 2 PATA drives hooked up to the board. Is it possible to hook up a SATA drive that will be a non-boot drive for just storage purposes?

    You can havepata disks + Sata, with sata as boot or not, you just need to update the Hard disk boot order in advanced bios settings.
    luck

    iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
    You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
    to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
    separating photos, media, etc.
    If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.
