Letterbox rendering problem…
I recently shot a short film on a Panasonic AG-DVX100, I just finished the editing and when I render the project, I see there’s a problem. Instead of having the Cinema standard black bars at the top and bottom. I have this:

I fear what I may have done is shot the film with the letterbox mode on, as well as having the anamorphic lens on, I’m guessing this is what would lead to the problems in the pictures.
Is there anyway at all, I can correct this, because one thing I cannot do AT ALL is shoot the film again.
Any help whatsoever would be great.

I put your second screen cap into Vegas, using 16:9 project settings, then went into pan/crop, selected the 16:9 preset, turned off “Maintain aspect ratio”, and manually zoomed in until the white background of your image filled my entire preview window. Doing this would surely result in lost resolution, and loss of the extreme left & right of the frame, at the least. Not an ideal solution, but it might work alright.
