This might be the best option if you are not working with 4:3 anamorphic clips, or you don’t want your sequence to jump back and forth between full screen (for the 4:3 footage) and letterbox (when you drop in 16:9 footage).Another reason you might want to bring the clip in full size, is it allows you to “virtually” zoom into an area of interest.
