  • semi transparent bars when exporting a 4096×2732

    Posted by Laura Fernandez on March 27, 2021 at 10:59 am

    Hi there!

    I have a project and all the clips have a native resolution of 4096×2732.

    When I set up the timeline to this resolution and I export on this resolution I get semi transparent bars on top and bottom. They look like a letterbox with 50% opacity…

    What can I do to get the image without this bars?’

    Thank you!!!!

    It depends on what your master delivery frame size and aspect ratio are?

    If you’d like to fill the frame with your footage, depending the workflow stage you are at, I can see at least 2-ways to deal with this:

    . go to File > Project Settings > Image Scaling and select Scale entire image to fit in Input scaling and/or Output scaling

    . In your EDIT page, select the clip and in the Inspector panel, under Transform, adjust the Zoom settings to your liking

    Also if you’d like to output a letterbox format (black bars), go to Timeline > Output blanking and select the appropriate letterboxing format.
