I am new to video editingas well and have a questoin about widescreen.
I shoot all my movies on my Sony digital 8 camcorder in widescreen (16:9)
format, but when editing in movie maker the image is squished so that
everyone looks incredibly thin - all the picture is there but squished to fit
into the preview pane.
Is this simply because it is a preview and it will revert to a full 16:19
ratio when saved to the computer or burned to a DVD without needing to do
anything else?
