Hi, I have a mixture of videos I need to have in a project. Some are 9:16 (Porttrait) and some re 16:9 (Landscape). I want them all landscape. Is there a way to convert the 9:16 to 16:9 with out zooming? thansk!

Often best to leave that phone clip 9:16 in your 16:9 project frame and simply put an out of focus pic of the video behind as backdrop. Often how you see various media outlets handle the 9:16 for TV broadcast as well.

One method is to simply use PIP. Put the pic on video track 1, stretch to full 16:9 frame and blur, put 9:16 video in track 2. The track 2 video is on top of track 1, stretch duration of pic to match your video and you should be done.

You can also put two copies of your video on the timeline. Track 1 stretch to 16:9 blur strongly, Track 2 the original 9:16 video.

That way the same movement will be in the stretched image. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
