You can edit widescreen footage shot in DV, HDV, or HD formats. To display and play back widescreen assets correctly, you must set your sequence settings to accommodate widescreen assets.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • From the Welcome screen, click New Project.

    • Select File > New >Project.

  2. In the New Project dialog box, click OK.
  3. In the New Sequence dialog box, select the Sequence Presets tab.
  4. Select a preset that matches your footage. Do one of the following:

    • For DV footage, select one of the DV-NTSC or DV-PAL presets with Widescreen in its name. These use horizontal pixels (with pixel aspect ratios of 1.2 for NTSC and 1.422 for PAL).

    • For an HDV project, select an HDV preset using HD Anamorphic 1080 (pixel aspect ratio 1.333) or Square pixels (pixel aspect ratio 1.0).

    • For an HD project, select one of the presets provided with your HD capture card.
