To resize a 16:9 composition from source to a 4:3 destination resolution using
the Letterbox fit method:
1 Drag the Resize tool from the Tools tab to the dependency graph in the
Schematic view, and connect it to the composition.
2 From the Destination settings area, select the 4:3 resolution to which you
want to resize the source. You can also set custom width and height in
the W and H fields.
3 Select the Letterbox fit method. By definition, when using the Letterbox
fit method, black bars appear above and below the destination
composition. However, the fill color in Composite is already black and
these bars get cropped from the destination resolution.
4 Select a filter from Filtering.
5 The composition is resized.
