Cropping for Wide Screen


David Porter

Recommended Posts

I recently made a show in 15:10 (my camera format) but when finished I decided it would look good on my wide screen TV 16:9. Rather than individually cropping all my photos I decided to alter the aspect ratio to 16:9 and use Project Options/More/% slide to show ..... The slider does not go above 100% but I typed in a figure pf 115% clicked set for existing slides and in worked well apart from some minor alterations with pans and zooms. However when going back into project options the 115% had re-verted to 100% but the slides were still increased in size. I was wondering if this will cause any problems down the line when I come to publish and make a DVD.

Your project will be resized down to 720x405 to make the DVD and when played on the HD TV the 720x405 show will be interpolated up to 1920x1080 (on the TV).

You will (I think) lose around 10% of the images due to TV safe zone.

If your TV has a USB Socket and a Media Player you would get a MUCH better result by making a 1920x1080 MPEG4 and playing that via a USB Memory Key.
