Shalom pals, don't really know if that is the right place to ask. My homie gave me a few clips he filmed. They are all 16:9 and .mov datas.
How would you convert these clips to 4:3 .mp4 without losing any quality?
I usually edit clips with the inshot app on my phone, but there must be a better way ^^

Thanks in advance 

[doyle]

Ideally you'd just edit them on a computer in Premiere or Final Cut or whatever you like, and either use a 4:3 timeline or 4:3 export settings. If it's full 1080 HD the 4:3 timeline/export size is 1440x1080, and if it's 720 HD the size is 960x720.

In InShot, you can import the clips, then press the Canvas icon, and make it 4:3 in the Ratio tab. Then switch over to the zoom tab and slide it up (I think it'll be 50 here no matter what). Then just export there. You'll probably lose a little quality this way, but it wouldn't be too noticeable especially if it's for Instagram or something.

Thanks pal. Much appreciated

I’m interested in getting a HD 4:3 set up. I currently have a Panasonic HMC150 and a Canon T3i with a rokinon for fisheye. Few questions could I film 4:3 with either of these? Are you guys cropping/re-formatting everything in post? If I were to get into 4:3 hd filming I’d prefer to just be able to film and not deal with all that post production work so what would be a good setup for that for under $2k? If that’s even how it works hahaha.

I’d like to get a Mk2 for my HMC150 and just get rid of the T3i which I may just do anyway is that possible to shoot 4:3 on? This has got me curious. Love the gustav reverb part anyone know what set up was used there? That new Tom Knox part had me wanting a VX1MK1 but Mk1s are rare now and stupid expensive plus I don’t wanna deal with tapes and a camera that will likely glitch and have issues constantly.

Idk nothing about HD 4:3 so a quick run down would be sick if you guys could help me out. I read the first 2 pages of this thread but didn’t see any deep explanations (sorry if I looked over them)

HMC150 with MK1 looking good!!!

Saw that earlier! Looks great. But Mk1s are going for over $1500 and I ain’t ready to invest that much haha

this looks sick!
did you film in anamorphic mode or normal and then just cropped it? also, is that the "natural" vig or an overlay? looks good anyway

[Burton Ernie]

Made this yesterday to celebrate my friend Gabe's 40th birthday. Bit of a rush job, but it's HD 4:3 nonetheless. Canon XA20, Century Mk 1, shitty onboard mic because my mic died.

Thanks! It's in "normal" mode and cropped to 4:3. The vig is natural, you can even see the grip of the camera on the top-right corner, it's so wide!

Beat me to it. So damn good. I wish I knew Miguel Valle's set up, he's perfected the HD 4:3 imo.

Oh wow thank you!

[aquilateufo]

currently experimenting with the sony NX80 and the mk1, looks super good and about the same form factor as the vx, which is also a big plus:)

congrats on karaoke round two! any more thoughts on the nx80+mkI setup? fully satisfied with it?

Meike 3.5mm looking like the lens to go with if youve got a micro4/3rd lens. It's so small and wide that a bit of the camera grip shows up in the shot but if pushed over or fake vig is added its perfect. This was by my aussie homie who just got back into filming.

[doyle]

Definitely a good option, especially for the price, but I still prefer the way the 8-15mm looks.

[fs1/2cab]

I am starting to learn a bit about editing, please kook me when my questions are dumb.

The clips I have are all 16:9, with 1920x1080p and 50fps.
What settings (pixel and fps) should I use to create a smooth clip in 4:3?
I edit on my phone since I don't have a computer now.

1440x1080p should do the job. for the fps just keep the 50 if you want it real smooth

[1qBurner]

Hey, I can't find an answer to this and I can't tell if it's because if I'm an idiot or not.
On the HMC150, when you are attaching the Mk1, what size step-up or down ring do you need?
I know the camera side is 72mm—does the fisheye side of the step-up ring matter?
or does it not matter because you're gluing it anyway?

[nolliecrooked]

nowdays after 8~ years of filming I like the way my footage looks and woudnt go HD 4:3, will stick to 16:9, but damn, people should do more of that for sure!!
