Is it possible to get a 4:3 video from a 16:9 video?

I've authored a video in wide screen, but some people would prefer the regular 4:3 format because they do not own widescreen TVs. (I put together two people's footages--some shot in widescreen and some in 4:3, so it's not going to be perfect anyway.) Since there was a lot of editing involved, scene menu, etc., is there a way to use the same prel information but open it in 4:3 format? Sorry I may not be explaining clearly what I want--basically I want to change a 16:9 format video into a 4:3 format. If this is not possible after the fact of authoring, for future projects is there a setting or option to output to both formats when beginning a project?

I tried both methods and, actually both were really easy to do . When I added the DV-AVI file to the timeline and used the Motion properties to scale to 133% (constrained--so both height and width were enlarged), I lost the text I had in the title slide. Then I checked the photos--heads were cut off and on captions under the photos, the last line was missing. (I had enlarged the canvas in PSE and added text.)  I tried reducing the scaling to about 80% which would maintain the captions, which may work--though I have black bars, but I sure had black bars in widescreen too--especially on the vertical photos.
My test may not be accurate since I don't have a 4:3 TV set any more. I tried the Sidebar setting on my widescreen TV. It may work better on a 4:3 set--I'll try that on someone else's set tomorrow. I had also put text on some photos and each line on the right side was cut off too.  Without thinking I tried to edit it and move it--of course I couldn't because it was "fixed" in the avi file.That's the reason I had asked about editing the prel so I could start the 4:3 project and use everything I had already done in the 16:9 project and everything would still be editable. The draw back on scaling with that method is I have to do each photo individually unless there is a way to batch scale. Is there?
I am going to have to do more experimenting and viewing on a 4:3 set to decide which way works best for me.
Thank you so much for your suggested solutions

    No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.

    Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!
    I want to get the audio out of the lightning connection (the way you get audio when you connect it to a dock). It works properly with music, but when making a telephone call, it switches to the internal speraker. You can change to the external spekers, but you cannot select another audio out. It's also possible to get the telephone audio from the analogue connection, but that's not what I want. I want telephone audio from lightning...
    Would be so great if anybody has an idea

    I must also say that the second update ruined my Lumia's battery life.
    With the first (out-of-the-box) update the phone usually had 30 percent of battery after a quite hard day (e.g. more than an hour of talking via bluetooth handsfree, more than two hours of listening to the music via bluetooth, more than an hour of browsing via wifi, and reading hundreds of e-mails via two mail accounts). I never managed to discharge it after one day (e.g. 14-16 hours) of continous use, no matter how much I talked, listened and browsed.
    Now, with the secod update, it discharges to 20% after 12 hours of laying still almost without use (30 mins of music, less than 15 mins of talking and nothing more), and discharges completely with the usage pattern described above.
    Did the second update contain some Android code?

  • Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?

    Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?
    I keep getting "cannot find PC" entering IP or PC name
    but as a test I have set up my PC to do web hosting, and I can browse to the IP address using desktop IE and see my local web pages.
    I've just found a reference that says it has to be Business Vista.
    Why would Microsoft put such a STUPID restriction in?
    I think this Surface thing is going to go back if so.
    What about Win8 64 Pro? Will that work?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Yeah, windows 8 pro can connect to surface 2. There is detailed article guide for it, please check below link.

  • Is there possibility of getting previuosly purchased(in november from app store) iphone 4 unlocked since Apple is selling unlocked iphones in USA

    Is it possible to get iphone 4 unlocked by apple in order to able to use in abroad which is purchased from app store(USA) in November, since app store is selling unlocked iphones in USA???

    No.
    The fact that Apple now sells unlocked phones independently of AT&T does not change AT&T's  'no unlock' policy.
    The phone you bought is locked to AT&T. So far, AT&T have not announced any change to their unlocking policy and Apple cannot unlock an AT&T iPhone without receiving authorization from AT&T.

  • Is It Possible To Get 5.1 Digital Sound from a DVD Player or my P

    I use my computer as my home entertaniment system as it has a TV Card and all that. I have my Dish Channels coming in through my computer as well as my Playstation 2 and my Samsung DVD Player. So far I have never been able to get anything more than 2. quality audio from these sources even though they have 5. sound capability. Is there some external device I am missing. I have a Dell installed Sound Blaster Li've Card. Any thoughts on this would be prime. Thanks.

    You can export 5.1 wav files from Premiere with no problem, what you can't do is export Dolby Digital 5.1. Premiere will let you export stereo Dolby Digital but not the surround files, that requires Surcode. If your playback system can cope with wav. you don't need Surcode but if you are making dvs or Bluray you do.

  • Is it possible to get a row to populate from a table on another page upon searching data entered in a cell?

    Hey guys,
    Could do with some assistance!  I would like to create a document that allows me to enter a code in the first cell and then populate e row from the information contained in a table on a second page.  Is it possible to do this with Numbers?

    Hi John,
    Sorry for the delay.
    A VLOOKUP table is a rectangular array of cells, which may be a separate Table (preferred) or a block of cells on a larger Table. The column containing the search-for values (the codes, in your case) must be the leftmost column of the lookup table.
    columns-range is the range of columns making up the lookup table. The range starts with the column containing the search-for values, and ends with the last column to the right containing data to be searched.
    return-column is the column of the lookup table from which the data is to be returned. It is specified by a number. 1 is the search-for column, 2 the next column to the right, etc.
    close-match determines whether the formula will accept a close match to the search term, or will accept only an exact match. A 'close match' is defined as 'the largest value less than or equal to the search-for value.'
    For text values, 'less than' is read as 'alphabetically before' the search value.
    Here's a small sample table set showing an example:
    In practice, the data table (top) would be on a separate Sheet from the smaller Search table, and that sheet's name would be included in the cell range reference shown in the formula (unless the Data table's name, "Data" was used only for this table within the document).
    There's a single formula, entered in the selected cell (B2) of the Search table, then filled right and down to all cells below and to the right of B2:
    B2: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,Data :: $A:$F,COLUMN(),FALSE),"      -      ")
    The FALSE value for close-match means only an exact match will be accepted. If no exact match is found, as in row 4 of the search table, VLOOKUP will return an error. The error is trapped by IFERROR, and the text string shown is inserted in the cell. Note that VLOOKUP is not case sensitive.
    The COLUMN() function returns the number of the column containing the formula, and provides an automatic means of incrementing the return column as the formula is filled right.
    Can't supply any details on how to enter a formula in Numbers for iOS, as I've not done that on an iOS device.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Is it possible to get a double click event from a JTree?

    I have created a JTree that has been added to my listener to see if an item has been single clicked or double clicked, but it only shows items being single clicked even if it's double clicked. My listener checks as follows:
    if(e.getClickCount() == 1)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Single clicked\n", "One", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    else if(e.getClickCount() == 2)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Double clicked\n", "two", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    //Anybody have any suggestions?

    This should help:
    //JTree tree = new JTree();
    tree.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
            int selectionRow = tree.getRowForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
            if(selectionRow > FIRST_NODE && selectionRow < LAST_NODE)
                if(e.getClickCount() == 1) {
                    //Code here
                else if(e.getClickCount() == 2) {
                    //Code here
    }substituting FIRST_NODE and LAST_NODE as your lower and upper inclusion.

  • Help, I continue to get a 'object expected' error from DW CS3 SWF video insert?

    I am trying to use DW CS3 to place video into my website.  Seems simple enough, 'insert media', 'flash video', etc.  However, I have been unable to get it to play or even show up.  The source file is an FLV file in the same directory as the index pages that should be showing it.  Here is the link, http://www.fishart.us the error line begins with 'AC_FL_Runcontent'.

    any one with ideas???
    i've been doing some more research... and found a possible solution... where i could send the video thru a server proxy... but the only thing is doing that might slow down my process... i was wondering if there was any other solution to this problem??

  • Is it possible to get a copy of all purchased music from itunes?

    Hi, My copy of itunes reinstalled itself, so all of my purchased music is now only in the music file. From multiple imports, there are two, three or four copies of most songs in the itunes music library, except for the purchased music, which is only in the Windows music folder. Thought I would delete everything and start over. It would be easier than fixing this mess. I am wondering if it is possible to get a complete purchase history from itunes so that I can save all purchased music before I purge this mess out of my system? Music is taking up 60Gb when it should only be about 15 Gb. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can list your purchase history in your iTunes store account.
    Also you should have a purchased music playlist.
    The other way of doing it is use the "Kind" column. If you don't see it, go to View>>Options and check "Kind"
    Purchased music shows up as "Protected AAC" or for iTunes Plus, "Purchased AAC". You can use Kind to make a smart playlist containing purchased music - if you don't have already have a purchased playlist.
    But be very careful about deleting music files and make sure you have good backups in case you make a mistake. Don't rely on the recycle bin - it doesn't usually have room for large numbers of music files.

  • How is it possible to get list of VIs from executable?

    Hi!
    Simple question.
    I have executable (builded with LabVIEW, of course).
    In LabVIEW 8.0.1 - based application I able to get list of VI inside of executable (with ..\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\libraryn.llb\Get VI Library.vi)
    But if application was builded with LabVIEW 8.2 it seems to be impossible, because error 13 occurred (file is not a resource file).
    How is it possible to get list of all VIs from executable which was generated with LabVIEW 8.2?
    I do not prefer to build application with llb.
    Theoretically I can "convert" exe to llb, and then get list of VIs, but this is "undocumented" way and not preferred.
    Any other (better) ideas how to do this?
    best regards,
    Andrey.

    Hi Andrey;
    Just happened to be browsing for a different problem, but an alternative method (assuming I understood the question correctly) may be to use the "List Folder" vi to create a list of all VIs contained within your .exe application.  From this list, you could further use a "Match Pattern" vi to do further sorting.
    For example, if any constructed VIs contained the phrase "SubVI" within the file name, use "Current VI Path" followed by a single "Strip Path" (to eliminate the active VI name), use a "List Folder" to extract the vi names contained within the .exe, and match pattern for something like "*SubVI.vi" to get a listing of all VIs with the phrase "SubVI.vi" in the file name.
    Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to get regular computer audio via AirPort Express?

    Is it possible to get regular computer audio (audio from websites, MacBook, etc.) on my speakers which are connected to my AirPort Express? Or is the only audio I can hear on my connected speakers the music that is on my iTunes?
    Just obtained AirPort Express last night and was dissapointed that only the music on my iTunes plays on my connected speakers and not the normal/regular audio from websites and/or my MacBook.

  • Get a UK Skype number from Japan

    Hello,
    Is it possible to get a UK skype number from Japan?
    If it is possible, can I use this number to be displayed when I call Japanese customers?
    (eg. they see a number something like, +44 xxx xxx)

    Ok not got an RTX myself but have looked at them.
    I presume you have got the RTX connected to your network via ethernet and also to the Spanish land line connected too. Sign into your Skype account on the RTX, I presume you have some calling credit on your Skype account.
    Your RTX will ring on whichever incoming number that has been called, either the Spanish line or your Skype UK number.
    Check the calling rates page for costs to call the UK. https://www.skype.com/en/rates/?nu=subs-calling. Open up the rates to United Kingdom, then check the Pay as You Go rates and select "view all PAYG rates". That will open up a tab with all the PAYG rates to the UK including mobiles and special numbers. Note that there is a connection charge too. General charges are 1.8p/min + 3.1p connection fee to landlines and 7.6p/min + 5.6p connection charge to UK mobiles
    If you find yourself making a lot of UK calls then a subscription might give better value, but note there are two types of subscriptions, one type is only to UK landlines and the other is to UK landlines and mobiles.
