Sorry, last post should have been:

Set Crop effect top to "90" or "91" and bottom to "91" or "90 or
vice-versa...

Clients......I just love 'em. 

Cut a :30 spot standard def for air.  Tons of large images pan & scan and
some 35mm film.  Mastered on Digibeta Standard Def 4:3. 

Client wants to have their spot "Run in a Movie Theatre".  Crazy.....I know.


Anyway, the Encoding facility naturally prefers Hi Def Masters, but will
accept a Standard Def 4 : 3 Master with 16 : 9 mask 480i.   Exposing my
ignorance here, but how can I be sure that I am creating a true 16 : 9
Letterbox mask in DS.  In Graphics, I typed the letter "I" in a font that
when sized to 525 fills my entire screen top to bottom.  If I tell it to be
480 size, will this relate to the mask size? 

BTW, I did try to create a new sequence in 16 : 9 and although the images
looked OK, the standard 35mm film did not. 

ANY suggestions would be very much appreciated. 

Thanks....Rick at naked eye 
a very wet Rick thanks to Hurricane Katrina !
