  • 1920 renders with black bars on sides.

    Posted by Jason Kotch on August 21, 2013 at 5:47 am

    I’m getting black bars after a render in Sony Vegas 11

    -Origninal Footage (1920×1080)
    -Project Properties set to (1920×1080)
    -Project Preview looks correct
    -Render As (1920×1080 Pix Aspect Ratio 1.333)

    As soon as I hit RENDER BUTTON the preview adds the black bars to the preview and renders the final video with bars.

    The final video (files info) size says (1920×1080) but it looks nothing like the original footage that was shot at 1920 x 1080

    why is it doing this?

    If you really want your final output file to have a PAR of 1.333, then you should specify 1440 as your width, not 1920 (there’s probably a preset for this). If you want the full resolution 1920×1080 as your final output, the PAR should be 1.0.

    Yea, as Jame said, 1920×1080 video should have a PAR of 1.0. This is your problem.
