I have found this forum helpful in the past, but never posted a question. I hope y'all can help.
Our small project is using dv footage from a variety of sources - but the majority (80%) is in 16:9. Our preferred project setting is NTSC Widescreen, using Vegas 6.0. In this mode, you already know the the 4:3 footage will have black bars, left and right.
I hoped the pan/crop event would let me select of 4:3 clip, and "fill screen" to the width, AND maintain the aspect ration, resulting in an "automatic" even crop of the top and bottom of the frame. But I could not make this work, it just seems to zoom in and out. So - is what I want possible? Am I missing some easy way to do this? Am I using the pan/crop incorrectly? Or am I out of luck? Thanks.
