Letterbox bars on a 1080p cutting videos
Hi, I want to use letterbox black bars on my short movies to give it more like a film look.
So, I downloaded this,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihL3JZztMrwWhen I use it on my videos, its cutting the top and bottom completely.
Is there any way to fix this ?

Is your original video 4:3 aspect or 16:9 aspect?
If it is 16:9 this is how it is going to look. You can reduce the size of your footage in the timeline, to avoid the top and bottom being masked off, but you will also have window boxing in addition to letterboxing.
Letterboxing was generally used to display 16:9 material on 4:3 screens. If your footage is 16:9 it is already “widescreen”. You would only see letterboxing if you had a more extreme aspect ratio like 2:35:1.

1. Original video is 1920×1080 16:9 only.
2. Yes the top and bottom is getting masked. Is there any way to prevent that, keeping the top & bottom black bars intact ?

If you are changing the aspect ratio of the sequence you will lose some footage area. Unless you stretch it but that won’t look good.

Okay what I did is, simply set the top and bottom height to a bit less and it looks nice now 🙂
