Letterbox Format - How do you set it when rendering?

[Jentham2000]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have short chor project that I would like to render in a Letterbox Format.

 

I believe I am looking for 720 x 480 resolution or similar.

 

Is there a way to set this, or hopefully is there a letterbox option or button?

 

Thanks again, Bob

Try setting your camera to custom render at 720X361... this will get you your letterbox images, but you will need to center it up in an app like AfterEffects or something to place that image in the middle of a 720X486(or480 for DV) which will put the 'black bars' at the top and bottom.

Great, that was it!!

 

I went to "Shortcut to Camera 1", then in the properties window, I went to Output Options, Resolution, set the width to 720, height to 361, and Aspect to 1.

 

Thanks again for your help....
