  General Sequence Setting Question

  Posted by Elaine Lake on August 21, 2011 at 10:18 pm

  What is up with the black bars above and beneath my videos in FCP?
  How do I get rid of them?

  Most of the time I work with h.264 footage from my 7D and after transcoding to Pro Res 422 I still get the black bars in my sequences… Also, when I import AE animations into FCP, I get those black bars. I’m plagued by them! What am I doing wrong?

  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS!

  Can’t say without seeing your settings, but it *sounds* like you have letterboxing turned on somewhere in the rendering preferences where it is not supposed to be, or you are putting the wrong format video into the wrong format timeline. Do you use “easy setup”, when creating a new project, and if so, which one? What are the specs of your original footage?

  I’ve been meaning to reply to this and say thank you for your pointers & trying to help! I’m traveling and return home in about 1 week so I’ll check my FCP settings and let you guys know.

  Thanks so much for your help! I appreciate it a lot 🙂
