    Removing Black Bars

    Posted by Anthony Uccello on March 8, 2010 at 9:06 pm

    Hi Guys

    I have some video footage that Im re-rendering.

    Problem is, it has black bars at the top and bottom.

    I want to add some new footage BEFORE this video and also remove the bars.

    Problem is, the footage I add automatically extends past the bars.

    So 2 questions:

    How do I remove the black bars but keep the aspect ratio?

    And how do I ensure new footage added is defaulted to the new aspect ratio that removes these bars?

    Here’s a picture

    I want it to be a WMV sized at 640×360 (which is the orginal footage settings).

    Thanks!

    Make sure your project properties (File – Properties) are set to 640 x 360.
    Any footage that isn’t this aspect ratio can be matched by opening up the Pan/Crop window on the clip, right-clicking and selecting Match Output Aspect on it.
