Is that what you were looking for?
I've attached the dual screen one because its a little bigger

Awesome post
Thank you.Let me also give the reason I shoot that big for a screen that small... panning and zooming :/ I see doing this as a bit of a problem with the correct workflow you posted.
Maybe i am overlooking something though...
or... do i just need to have everyone frame their shots carefully from here on.

Well.....I thought the point of having a HiDef camera was to make HiDef movies?
Are you saying you're shooting in HD but will only deliver SD content? If that's the case, then convert the HD footage to SD before you ever import it into Pr. I don't know about your camera, but some HD cameras will output SD during capture if that's what's needed. And there are free, 3rd-party tools that can do the conversion much better than Pr.-Jeff

Ha, tell that to the dancer kid's moms... i would love to make ONLY BluRay discs for them
But as it stands MY purpose for having a HiDef cam is to have the ability to shoot up to HiDef and still knock out standard def projects. I have a feeling you were adding a little bit of joking to that though.As far as downconverting before importing.
Again, I do this to be able to pan/zoom the shots. If I downconvert first, that takes away from the ability.

I was joking.
Once your rough cuts are done in the HD sequence, you could nest it in the SD sequence and then animate the Scale and Position properties to properly frame the shots. IMHO that type of animation doesn't require playback quite as smooth as generating the rough cuts does.
But if smooth playback is essential to you even for animation, then export an intermediate file using a lossless codec like Lagarith or using a high bit rate I-frame only MPEG2 file and then animate that intermediate clip in the SD sequence.
But I think Jim confirmed the best solution - make sure the shots are framed properly to begin with. Then you won't need to pan and zoom *unless* your clients won't accept letterboxed SD. At which point you should charge them extra for a "full screen" version. (only half-joking here).
