Thanks, the steps were easy to follow.. HOWEVER< I "nested" my entire sequence (thanks to JayMichigan's post) before pasting in a new sequence but some of my fonts are still no title safe... otherwise, the multi-layered graphics work. Do I need to go back in the 16 x 9 original and move those titles?

@gabedeclan great question... yes you will need to go back into the sequence you nested to fix your titles. But that should be as easy as just double clicking the nested sequence in your timeline. Once you make the changes in that sequence you should be good to go.

Very good video, but I have one question: when I drag the entire sequence into the 4:3 timeline, it works. But when I copy and paste the sequence (to adjust each take separately), it automatically crops the 16:9 to 4:3. The "Do you want to... y/n"-window doesn't even pop up. Help!!

This is a good workflow, but what happens with the quality of the image when you blow up the original HD footage to fit in 4:3 without letterboxing?
