  • How to fix black border all around video?

    Posted by Josh Kale on May 29, 2007 at 6:01 am

    I just finished burning my video project captured with my Panasonic DV camcorder w/ widescreen mode. Problem is, when I watch my dvd on a tv, theres a black border going alll around the video playing.

    But I have been exporting video from my project into adobe after fx in AVI . DV NTSC. D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)

    And im preaty sure i’ve been exporting it out of after fx in the same format to use in adobe premiere.

    Im using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and Adobe After Effects 7.0
    Please help, I’d really appreciate it.

    I just looked at my original footage and its aspect ratio is correct. I must have messed up somewhere in my exporting/converting. Is there any way to repair the damage done? I tried stretching out the video manually in premiere but when I previewed it back, there was flickering and static so that must not be the solution.

    Im lost…

    This is also what my video looks like on my tv.

    OK, first of all the footage should be 720X480 using a 1.2 pixels aspect ratio.

    You have the monitor set to show 50%. What does it look like when set to “Fit”? What does it look like when you use footage captured directly from the camera and placed on the sequence with no After Effects involved?

    When I view the footage captured directly from my camera, the aspect radio is correct. Black bars on top and bottom. But after exported out of adobe after fx, the radio changes. The orginal footage is right.. but after I messed with it in adobe after fx, im preaty sure I screwed it up.

    What would be the correct way to export widescreen footage out of adobe after fx then?

    Thanks

    Make sure that your composition is 720X480 using the 1.2 pixel aspect ratio so that your export is correct. If you must, click on the “Stretch” checkbox and set the ratio manually from the list by selecting DV NTSC Widescreen.

    What it looks like you have is letterboxed 4:3 in a 16:9 frame, what camcorder are you using? some models just letterbox 4:3 footage and maintain .89 pixel ratio, if you play the footage into a widescreen tv monitor is it full screen video of good resolution?
