  • black on the sides of video for the web?

    Posted by Rob Roams on September 14, 2006 at 6:16 pm

    I’m working on the Adrenaline and when I export my video to a .wmv there are black bars on the side. The video is for a website and the client wants the video to fill the screen. Is there a way to have full screen video for the web?

    Thank you!

    It’s common to see a little of the raster when exporting video from NLEs. Depending on your encoding software, you’ll have to crop the sides. I do a weekly webcast video and use Sorenson to encode a 360×270 WMV9. I automatically crop 6px left and 3 right to lose the black edge. I don’t know of a way to do this if you export directly from the Avid. Adobe Media Encoder also offers a crop/pad facility. If your’re exporting from After Effects, you can set your “region of interest” to eliminate the edges.
