    Hi. I need to create a 16 x 9 matte for some footage in Final Cut Pro. There are some frame issues I’m trying to resolve and am just looking to create the matte to lay over the footage. Is there an easy way to do this in Photoshop? I’m running version 7.0 on a G5 Mac if it helps. Thanks.

    Might helped if you specified frame size and formats you are working with

    But essentially… fill a layer with black
    Delete away the portion you want transparent
    Make an Alpha Channel
    Save as a PICT with alpha included
