  • Weird overlay cropping during render

    Posted by Scott Sullivan on August 5, 2013 at 9:21 pm

    I have a picture that completely overlays a video – using the audio from the video as a voiceover.

    The picture completely fills the screen in editing but when I render the picture is slightly cropped on the right and left sides showing the video underneath!

    Render settings and still sample is here:

    Anybody have any idea about this? This is really strange!

    Not until you provide your Project Settings?

    In the Render you are using a PAR of 1.212. Fine, but we don’t know your:

    1] Project Settings PAR and Media fit to render option.

    2] Media PAR

    Until those 2 bits of info are available, then we are all in the dark and we’re left with guesswork.

    Cheers

    Sorry – here are the project settings:

    Does that give you the right info to solve this problem?

    And the PAR of the Media?

    Does this reveal a problem?

    I always match my Project Settings to my Media. Then when I render I make sure the Render takes into account the the Project settings so that I don’t get any errors.

    You have:

    Media with a PAR of 1.333

    Project Settings set to a PAR of 1.000 (square)

    Rendering to to a PAR of 1.212

    If you don;t want those LEFT and RIGHT pilllars, somewhere in your workflow, you need to match-up the PAR.

    Thanks! What is the easiest way to go about matching? Change the project settings?

    I tried changing the PAR at the project level but that just creates letterboxes in editing mode too.

    I’ve never had this problem before. I have always been able to take media straight from my camera, pic overlay render etc. without this issue.

    What am I doing wrong?

    [scott sullivan] “What is the easiest way to go about matching? Change the project settings?”

    _______________________________________________________________

    In the very top Right Corner of the Project Properties Menu, there’s a Match Media Settings icon – click on it. Navigate to the Media you are using and Select it. It says “Open” – but just select click Open.

    Your Project will now Match your Media.

    When that happens, make a screen shot of it and bring it back here.

    Cheers

    Thanks! Doing this produces the same problem though. Here are the new settings for project and render.
