Eliminating black sides
Hello,
I am using several photos on the timeline and the black sides are present. At my job we call it the wings. Can I just use a background behind the picture? I don’t want to use the Image and Wire Frame effect because it will distort the image. How should I tackle this?
Thanks,
Rachel

One popular way is to layer the same picture behind what you have. Put the main pic on V2, another one on V1…then blow it up to fill the frame, reduce the opacity to 50%, and add a gaussian blur to really blur it out. Add a drop shadow to the top pic, if you want.

Call it Pillar box and not “wings”.
Shane’s advice is good.
However, do you want to do “moves” on the stills?Kevin Monahan
