cropping video inside premiere pro, border doesnt match video

[Faymus Media]

how do i make the top and bottom black "crop" marks the same tone of black that the natural widescreen of the camera is?

i mean when i cropped this short i made, at the right angles looking at the lcd monitor i can see that its black but a lighter shade, like it has more grey in it, and it looks like 2 lines on the top and bottom...

how do i fix this so that its the same tone?


anyone know why?

its like i can see the original 1:85 border, and then my 2:35 border is a lighter shade of black that doesnt match making it look like 2 borders top and bottom...

i have tried adobe effects>crop, i have tried the motion effects, the titler effects, none look right...

help is much appreciated

Use the Color Picker in the Titler to sample the black area in the image.

could it be your export compression/encoding is milking the blacks a bit?

Are you seeing this from the timeline preview, or after you export and perhaps play on a DVD?

OK, but where are you seeing the video played?

after i export...once its an actual video file to upload it has a normal dark bar at the 1:78 spot, and then the black bar i have made just past it....
