  • CS3 Capturing Problems with black bars on the Right and Left???

    Posted by Clint Milner on June 12, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    I’m capturing some 16:9 PAL from a Mini-DVCAM.
    When I do a batch capture the end avi file ends up looking like a squished widescreen picture with black bars on the right and left. Prior to this tape, I captured footage from the same camera, same event, and it worked fine, all in widescreen.
    Below, 2 screen shots and a little test video.

    I really need some help or a work around that someone might know.

    Thanks,

    Go to the project window rightclic on the footage and set the interprete footage to widescreen. That should do the trick.
