Widescreen preset question

I'm doing my first widescreen movie (photo montage) for an x-mas present this year. I have both video and still photos.

I've set my project settings to "NTSC Widescreen 16:9". I've also gone in to the Event Pan/Crop settings on each piece of video footage and selected the "Widescreen 16:9" preset (i know it will be cropped....I'm fine with that.....cropped is OK...but don't want it stretched nor do I want pillar boxes).

I'm using the VASST StillMotion script to import the stills and I checked the "Match Output Size" so the pictures appear to be taking up the full screen on my preview window.

Is this all I need to do? When I render the final version I will be sure to select one of the "Widescreen" options.

Am I missing anything or should this give me a good widescreen picture.

I'm not so sure about the VASST product, but it sounds to me like you did everything right. Does it look right in the preview window? I'm guessing so.
The project settings are proper, you should choose NTSC DV widescreen mpg2 for your export, and then just make sure you choose the same project settings for burning your DVD.
Is your final output for DVD?
