  • Help! Black border after rendering

    Posted by Kyle Whalon on July 20, 2008 at 2:42 am

    I have been using sony vegas 8 for almost 6 months and im am starting to get a pretty good hang of things. the other day i went to render a video and there was a black border around the entire video. the black border was not there when the clips were in the timeline, it just appears when i render the video in any format. i would like to know how i get rid of the black border around the video. any help would be great.
    thanks

    Kyle,
    Did you customize any of the settings when rendering?
    Or just make sure in the ‘event pan/crop window’
    you right click and select ‘match output aspect’.

    Mostly what format and resolution where you working with?.

    Hey thanks a lot for your reply!
    The video that i am working with is in .avi format and I primarily render in mpeg-2 and in the custom settings, the only thing that i change is the “include audio stream” because for some reason sometimes the audio from default mpeg-2 is excluded. I’m using 720×480 widescreen resolution. I selected the “match output aspect” in event pan/crop and then i tried to render again and i still had the same border around the whole video. I’m not sure if I accidentally selected something or what but i cant render any more videos until i figure how to get this border to go away. thanks

    It seems to me that you are probably overlooking something simple.
    If you are rendering 720×480 widescreen resolution, did you use
    a widescreen template when rendering? Or are you actually converting a regular 720×480 to widescreen? sorry for the numerous questions, just trying to get your editing up and running.

    Also, what do you play back the rendered clip in when you see these
    black borders? If you could post a screen-shot of the workflow in
    vegas, it would be helpful.

    Yeah i did use a widescreen template while rendering. The black border isn’t just on the sides its, on all sides of the video. The original video is in widescreen format and the rendered video is also in widescreen format.

    here is a screenshot of the video rendering with the border:

    Kyle,
    From what i see,that is how the video would look during rendering.
    Nothing wrong there. The question is…does it look that way on the finished rendered video? and what media player do you view the finished video in?
