  Removing Black Bars

  Posted by Anthony Uccello on March 8, 2010 at 9:06 pm

  Hi Guys

  I have some video footage that Im re-rendering.

  Problem is, it has black bars at the top and bottom.

  I want to add some new footage BEFORE this video and also remove the bars.

  Problem is, the footage I add automatically extends past the bars.

  So 2 questions:

  How do I remove the black bars but keep the aspect ratio?

  And how do I ensure new footage added is defaulted to the new aspect ratio that removes these bars?

  Here’s a picture

  I want it to be a WMV sized at 640×360 (which is the orginal footage settings).

  Thanks!

  Make sure your project properties (File – Properties) are set to 640 x 360.
  Any footage that isn’t this aspect ratio can be matched by opening up the Pan/Crop window on the clip, right-clicking and selecting Match Output Aspect on it.
