Hello,
I am having trouble exporting any 16x9 footage that doesn't get letter boxed. I have tried many different frame sizes and resolutions and still every time i get letter boxed on the top and bottom of the frame.

Any help would be amazing.

Thanks,
Matt

More detail would help.

You have 16:9 material, on a 16:9 timeline, and your export has black bars top and bottom with the material squeezed to something less than 16:9?

Step us through your source, your timeline & your export choice and we could offer suggestions ...

Cheers,
GB

Are you saving/exporting your final product as 960x540 or 854x480?

i have 16x9 on the timeline and i also tried using 960x540 and it is still there.
