Widescreen and borders?
Hi forum.
I have looked at several postings around the web for this topic, and I cant seem to figure out the easiest way how to make the black borders and widescreen effect for my dv clip.
First of all, can it be done in after effect? Maybe there is a preset for adding the borders. Or is the best way for this doing it in premier pro?
I use a cheap DV camera to capture with. I want to achieve the tv/movie look-a-like effect with widescreen and black borders.
I use CS4.
Please advice..
Regards Hamid

There’s a template in the titler for widescreen bars.

Thanks Ann.
Can you be more specific. I mean I am fairly new to this, where to choose the template from? Is it when I create a new project in PP?
Will it strecht my footage or will it just create the widescreen bars?
And also can I make my DV footage in a 16:9 format?

Leave your 4:3 footage as it is, making it widescreen gives you qualityloss.
You can do a little magic: letterbox.
Go to title/new title/based on template.
Twirle down Mattes and choose Letterbox Matte. Hit OK. Close Titler.
Put this title in a superimposed track and strech it over all the footage.
Now if the footage does not fit the window very nice you can adjust the horizonal position with Motion in the Effect Controls.
