I'd like a 4:3 aspect ratio. Without it how will I made analog horror videos? Also Incase you don't know what I mean by 4:3, here's a screenshot from a continuity of Playhouse Disney's Polish feed from around 2010-2011 I found on YouTube.

Hi @wtwoguy:

 

You may have noticed that if you import source footage with a 4:3 (1.33) aspect ratio that Adobe Rush uses a 1:1 (1.0) Timeline.

 

Unfortunately, only 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 are supported.  In the Crop & Rotate options, we can use Transform > Fit to fit 4:3 into 1:1 with letterboxing (black bars at the top and bottom).

 

Premiere Pro supports a 4:3 Timeline as well as Photoshop and After Effects.

 

A technical note:  When using 4:3 source, it's a best practice to crop for overscan.  Your sample image shows a thin column of black in the picture along the right most edge that would not have been visible on a standard definition televsion set.
