Black Bars
So for the longest time I have been trying to perfect my exports to youtube and I have only ONE last thing to learn-
How do I get the black bars on the top and bottom of my video with the new HD youtube?
Like in this video for instance- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxqaS6GQ8u4
Any help would be most appreciative
even if this process isn’t done in after effects but rather premiere I would still like to know

Hi Sean,
Try using this preset from videocopilot: https://www.videocopilot.net/presets/aspect_ratio_letterbox/
A quick alternative is to add a black solid to the comp, double click on the rectangular mask tool to add a comp-sized mask, hit ctrl+t to open the mask’s bounding box, hover over the small box on the top (or bottom) of the box and drag towards the middle of the comp while holding ctrl. Release once you have a letterbox the size you want. Set the mask mode to ‘add’ in the timeline panel. Voila!
