I recently made some changes in my project setup and now can't get the screensize to match when I import into Pinnacle.
I'm using 4:3 and while it worked perfectly for my first test clips, now I get black bars on the sides. Can't do anything to change that.

Thanks for your help.

If your video appears normal and you get bars on the side, then presumably your images are too narrow and you need to crop more from the top and/or bottom of the image.

You can do this manually using Edit > Remove Borders or automatically by selecting Frame > Frame Properties, "Remove Borders" tab and tweaking the automatic cropping option.

Hey.
tried all combinations possible. at 1:1, 4:3, wide - with the result that on 4:3 I get skinny people and on 1:1 I get bars on the side, no matter whether adjusted for DVD players, square or rechtangular pixels, but as I wrote, a normal video on media players.
I did save all my test projects that worked, but when I open them now an make my file again, it does what I don't want or need. I am already re-doing the slideshow on pinnacle, but still wonder, what in the world happened?

Hi

So you get black bars on the sides because the content is being squashed horizontally (i.e. people and objects appear too skinny)?

What is your setting under View > Options, Other, Advanced for:

"Improve aspect ratio of slideshows on DVD players"

at 1:1 the show displays on mediaplayer correctly, but shows sidebars when imported into pinnacle, at 4:3 the show is squished vertically.
at widescreen the show is widened as one would expect.
