That’s it! Did it in one click 🙂
Thanks again.

Sure, here it is. I really appreciate your help and patience. Hopefully, you can find something 🙂

Indeed, that will set the cropping height to 1113px and remove the black bars, but the image is still cropped. I just don’t get the behavior of the cropping window: why do black bars show up when the cropping height is anywhere below 1113px? The project setting is 1080px so I should be able to crop the height until 1080px without any black bars…

When I render it to 1080p, the black bars are exactly shown like in the preview…

[Daan Odinot]

Yeah, that’s sort of a plan B. The problem is that there many photos, so it’ll probably take a long time.

I can move the image, but it’ll still remain cropped…

I’ve take a screenshot of the project, maybe that helps. In the cropping you see that only the bottom edge is cropped. In the preview window, the bottom and upper edge is cropped.

[Daan Odinot]

You’re right that the black bars are gone. Unfortunately, it cuts off the bottom and upper edge instead of only the bottom edge. So I have 16/17 pixels cut off on two sides instead of 33 pixels on one side.

Ah yes, thanks for your response!

I see Vegas uses some kind of seperate transparant layer to get the text on your video. I had thought I’d have to add something within the video properties (shows how I’m just trying figure out the basic things with this program :)). Thanks, it’s now just a matter of getting the right text position/size.

I’d like Text to appear within the Video.

Thank you very much for your answers.

I’m still a bit unsure about the project properties and the rendering menu templates.

As I understand from your answer, whatever project properties you choose allow all renderings? Does that mean that the only thing the properties basically do, is add = sign for renderings that (partly) match the properties? In other words, they give you a framework/guidance of what you should do?

As for the pixel ratio, I started trying out some more things. Now I notice the following. If you go to the video properties of the file you can select the pixel ratio of the video itself and the video gets stretched according to what you selected. If you go the project properties the total image with black borders is cut of accordingly, while not changing the video image. So as I understand these aspect changes are only really relevant for the preview, because when you go to the rendering the video is rendered in the default (= dependent on the video input) pixel ratio, right?
