Widescreen bars motion problem

[Molanardi-B]

Hey, Im editing a music video that involves quick zooms and I didnt shoot it in widescreen and was plannin on adding the widescreen bars in editing. Heres the problem. I put the widescreen bars on the footage everything looks good, but when I use motion to do zooms on certain clips, the widescreen bars zoom with the clip. I dont want the widescreen bars to move obviously and want them to be static and I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Could someone please help me and tell me easiest way to do this in FCP 5? thank you

Yeah do all your effects first then add the bars last....

Try this plug in, it's a videogenerator that lets you letterbox a complete sequence without any nesting mess.

Create your bars in photoshop

You can create those bars in FCP without leaving the app very fast and easy. And yep, do them LAST.

Also, if you chose Letterbox when exporting for DVD authoring, you don't have to do it in FCP, Compressor/DVDSP will do it for you.
