  • Render settings when event pan/crop?

    Posted by John Riker on April 20, 2012 at 10:26 pm

    I have a 1920×1080 video. I cropped 140 off the top and the same off the bottom. The video is now of course 1920×1080. When I render this, the system defaults to 1920×1080. I assume I need to change the 1080 to 800 in the video size? Wasn’t sure if I do that if it will scrunch it down and then crop or how the whole thing works.

    Figured if I left it 1920×1080 it would crop the video and then add the black bars back in but wanted to check here.

    Thanks.

    Look at the preview window while you try the different settings. You should not change the render settings in most cases. If you want the black bars then crop away. If you want to zoom the image to fill the 1920×1080 frame, then right click in the pan/crop window and choose Match Output Aspect (or Source Aspect). If you set your project properties to be 1920×1080 then both Source and Output Aspect options should give the same result.

    If you want your video output resolution to be 1920×800 then you have to change the project properties and the render settings.

    I have just done a tutorial about how to do this:

    Notice that if you use pan/crop, it will have to be done for each event. Instead, you might prefer to use the track motion settings.

    Hope this helps,
