4:3 to 16:9 in max with camera focal length

Koper · July 21st, 2008

we need to redo an old animation with 4:3 aspect ration to 16:9 with some changes to the actual animation. Now the problem is that when we change the aspect, the actual 3D objects comes closer to view, which we don't want. ----- You can see this when you put a box in your scene, set the aspect to 1.333, turn on safe frames and change the width of the image output size by draging the slider.

I have been told that there is a script that would change the camera focal length according to the aspect ratio so that the object "stays" (wrong word to use) in place.

was that a clear discription?

anyone knows?
