Sony Vegas 10 – Unwanted effect of a bar above and one below my still images, how do I get rid of them?
Hello
I’m very much a novice to Vegas Pro, but dove in for a video and am having one issue. The video I am making is comprised of both other videos as well as still images. After I rendered my video however, there seems to be a single bar on top and below every still photo I used, with reflections of the actual image, so that they all look a bit like a capital ‘I’ now.
When replaying the video while making it, these were never there, and I don’t recall hitting anything to add them (though I probably did). Can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of them? I have quite a few photos, so if there is a way to eliminate the effect for them all in one fell swoop, that would be great. If not, however, I’m willing to approach them one by one.
Thanks to any and everyone

Are your photos sitting on top of the video track?
Do you have the photos set to fill the space? Or maintain their original size?

Options – Prefs – Editing – Automatically crop still images added to timeline.
If this option is enabled, all images will automatically fill the frame when added to the timeline.If you’ve already added them to the timeline, open Pan/Crop on the first one, right-click in the middle and select “Match Output Aspect”.
As long as all remaining images are the same style (i.e. landscape, not portrait), copy the first one, right-click the next one and select “Paste Event Attributes”.
You can also click on image 2 and shift+click the rest of them and do the “Paste” thing to all of them at the same time.Note: if you have any FX or re-sizing applied to the first image, this will get copied using the method I described.

You’re a mad genius.
And I thank you.

The second gentleman seems to have hit the nail on the head, but, in my attempt to answer your questions, I tested/played with all sorts of other options I was unfamiliar with, and am now aware of. So thank you, too!

Nah, not a mad genius, just a guy who’s done a lot of still image work over the years and has managed to learn a few things in that time.
I’m glad I was able to help.
