widescreen effect / letterbox on separate video track?

[Rafael Amador]

What do you mean, apply the filter to the whole sequence?
You can nest the sequence and apply the filter, or just drop the sequence in another sequence and apply the filter on that.

hi rafael
thanks for the quick response.
I´m looking for a way to do it without having to nest the sequence, so i can see the letterbox while i´m editing in my original timeline as well…

Create the two widescreen mattes in photoshop and stretch it out over the whole sequence. Or if you have a Kona card, I think you can can load a graphic with an alpha channel (your matte) into it and it will output it to your monitors over the video image and decks with the widescreen matte on, thus not adding any render time. This wouldn’t work when outputting to DVD/web etc though.

There’s a great (free!) generator available at http://www.lasserij.nl/fcp …I use it as standard now…

You can also drop some slug onto your top two layers – move one up and one down then lock the layers so they don’t get budged around by accident.

Hope that helps!
