Stretch SD shot width to HD frame

Apologies for newbie question:

I want to stretch an SD shot horizontally to cover an HD frame. Under the clip's motion tab, when I play with aspect ratio it doesn't stretch wider. When I use distort tool on the toolbar, I can stretch each corner but it's not easy to stretch symmetrically. Is there a better way to get the 4:3 image to fill the 16:9 frame?

Thanks,
HL

hey alex.

work in the canvas with the wireframe turned on.,
use the plain old selection tool, and hold SHIFT while you manipulate the wireframe.


cheers,

Hey Nick!

That worked beautifully and easily!

Thanks again!
