Mailing to myself I know, but found a route.

Boujou [2.3.1] has an ffi .action export format. Simply tracked the footage in Boujou, exported the .action to the inferno, loaded it, it was a huge file though, & the 3D camera worked directly to the source footage first time!

If you have a 4×3 image, take into Action & stretch Y scale to 127. This will give you an approximation of an amamorphic 16×9 [from 4×3], but make sure you use the 16×9 option on your RGB monitor to check. Sometimes the ratio of Y can change, so double check with a circle or similiar. You should see an egg shape on the Flame monitor / Circle on the RGB.

BE AWARE THOUGH THAT TITLE / ACTION Safes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
Most TV’s in the UK are still 4×3. The mastered 16×9 anamorphic image is rescanned for Broadcast to create a 14×9 letterboxed [transmitted picture].
This means that YOU HAVE NO SAFE ACTION top or bottom of frame & will need to title within the centre cut out area.

To approximate a 14×9 letterbox image [as the 16×9 anamorphic image will appear when transmitted on 4×3 TV’s in the UK]:
create batch thus:

action 1 = 127 Y scale
action 2 = result of 1 into layer 1
turn off proportional, rescale in Y to 75
then turn on proportional & rescale all to 115
turn off background

Set your user guides in the player to:

Action Safety:
free guide / line:

T 25 B 25
L 75 R 75

Title Safety:
custom safety / relative to border:

T 37 B 37
L 110 R 110

Have Fun……..
