Using the 16:9 Display Format
The Avid system supports the display of some forms of native 16:9 media with the correct aspect ratio. When you shoot this "wide" format with a camera, the camera stores the media anamorphically (into a standard 4:3 frame) as opposed to in a letterbox format. When you select the 16:9 option in the Avid application, the anamorphic 16:9 media is displayed in the Composer monitor, the pop-up monitor, and the Title tool.
Titles and effects are also created in the correct aspect ratio.
To enable the 16:9 display:
| 1. | |
Click in the Composer monitor to make it active.
|
| 2. | |
Select Clip > 16:9 Monitors.
|
A check mark appears next to the 16:9 option. The Composer monitor
displays media as 16:9.
 | |
If you shoot footage as anything other than 16:9 and choose to display the
Composer monitor as 16:9, the media appears distorted.
