White Matte

[artistiam]

can anyone direct me into how I would go about making a white matte/bars to replace the current black bars in the wide screen mode?

Thanks!

You should be able to change the color directly in the filter... which filter are you using?

The Widescreen filter does let you change the color of the bars.

Can you point it out, the only thing I see is that it let's you change the border but not the acutal bar?

Hmmm... you are correct. Been a while since I was there... maybe it changed?

For now... you can create two white solids and move them up and down to mask the mask... else you can create a nice matte in Photoshop, but I don't know the exact numbers you'd need to create it.

Maybe there's another 3rd party filter that I used to use... I'll keep digging.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

If you are using the widescreen filter just drop a sug under the video and use the "invert" filter (video filters->channel) to turn the slug white.
