Multiple Video windows in 16 x 9

Post by mountainman »

I am placing two video windows (moving path) sized to 345 x 305 ea into a 16 x 9 window to play on a 42" plasma. How do I stop the windows from stretching. When I record to DVD and play on 16 x 9 Plasma the windows stretch out ?
Thanks.

Apply a static moving path with the Keep aspect ratio box checked.

Multiple videos on 16 x 9

What I am trying to accomplish is run two video windows together in a fixed position on a 42" Plasma for a trade show and also have a logo graphic display at the bottom of the screen. But the video windows keep stretching horizontaly? Actually I originaly used a static moving path for both and kept aspect ratio box checked, however when I record to DVD and play on 42" 16 x 9 Plasma the video windows stretch horizontaly instead of maintaning a fixed size?

How about putting a solid color clip on the bottom, then the video clips, with the static motion path on overlay tracks. I'm only guessing here, but using the same method used with images/photos when keeping them from being distorted. The color clip is what MSP may see as what needs to be distorted, and not the clips themselves.

Just a dumb question here,...You do have your project set-up for 16:9, wide-screen, right? Didn't know, and thought I'd ask...

Not a dumb question, but yes I did set up at 16 x 9. Thanks for the input, I will try a solid backround behind the window frames and also revisit my Plasma TV settings for aspect ratio setup.
Thanks.
