I have some 4:3 footage that I want to put into a 16:9 iMovie project.
How do I convert the footage using Quicktime Pro 7?
Can it be done?
If so do I need other software?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

You can either stretch the sides out to make it 16:9. Or you can crop the bottom and top of the 4:3 and then resize it to 16:9. In any case, you lose quality and/or picture area.

Which version of iMovie are you using? In iLife '06, when I add 4:3 footage to a project set up as widescreen, it literally re-encodes the 4:3 footage to 16:9 pillarbox. You have to set this option in Preferences (otherwise I believe it will unnaturally stretch the content).

I am using iMovie HD 6.04. When I import from my camera it will automatically change any 4:3 images into 16:9 because I have clicked on the preference you are talking about. This only seems to work if you are importing from a camera and not if you drag a file in or import a file from the hard drive.
I don't want to stretch the image or crop it so can it be converted somehow so that the 4:3 image keeps its proportions but changes to 16:9 ?
