Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Blackbars in my video & video preview?

  • Blackbars in my video & video preview?

    Posted by Robert Morrissey on March 7, 2016 at 6:13 pm

    Hello,

    So I’m not entirely sure if this is a Sony Vegas glitch or it’s just one of my settings but basically, in the screenshots below you can see the black bars on both sides of the video and even on the top and bottom too.

    – (Apologies if the screenshots are not very clear) https://prnt.sc/acdmoq
    – Here’s the preview from Windows Media Player: https://prntscr.com/acdn66
    – And yes I’m using the maintain aspect ratio. – https://prntscr.com/acdncd

    If you could get back to me as soon as possible on how to fix it, that would be much appreciated! Thank you.

    First make sure your Project settings are the same as the media/video
    you have on the timeline…. And select Match Output Aspect if it’s still a bit off.

    In the Event Pan/Crop window on each video/image file… There you then right
    click
    , and you will see it comes up with other options!

    That works fine for the side blackbars but there is still the ones one top & bottom.

    Download “mediaInfo” and post the information on the source files.

    I would also using the “Match Media” button under the Project settings. This will make the project settings match your captured media.
