Author Topic: "Widescreen Effect" (Read 1703 times)

brandon6199 · « **on:** December 19, 2006, 12:02:57 AM »

I've searched the forums, looked up tutorials, asked many people including Sweet, Aenima, Feron, Haywire, StormLexer, Rocka, and others, and I STILL cant figure out how to do this.

Take "The Awakening" for example, when the stunters do their stunts, theres black bars on the top and bottom, and their names on the bottom of it.

Some people tell me to use the "cookie cutter", others tell me I should widescreen it, but I just can figure out how...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

If im feeling REAL nice, I might even give forum money

(10 seconds later) EDIT: NOW Sweet decides to tell me how

To anyone whos wondering how, go into the pan/crop tool in Vegas, and at the top there should be a dropdown menu that says "Presets"

Choose 16:9

lol

Alt+Enter in Vegas and choose a 16:9 resolution like 1280x720, make sure you record in that res as well.

Daffy's way isnt the best to be honest. Just use pan/zoom, go to 16:9 setting, there you have the black lines, you can click off lock aspect ratio to make the lines big/smaller and click it back on when your done, then save that as preset 'TEH BRANDONS widescreen' and use it on each clip you want it on .
