	Creating Letterbox-How To? by 35mmGuy on Dec 2, 2006 at 4:51:31 pm Hi, Can some one tell me how to create a letter box in FCP 4? I don't want to squish the video, I just want to lay back bars top and bottom of 4X3 video to hide the VTC. What are the steps in terms of menu>next step>next step>next step. Yes, I checked the manual and the help. But all I'm getting is explanations on making 4X3 into 16X9, that's not what I want. Thanks Richard Respond to this post Return to posts index

	Re: Creating Letterbox-How To? by tony salgado on Dec 2, 2006 at 6:45:15 pm vitc timecode is outside of the active video area and is usually only visible in underscan mode on your monitor. So there should be no need to hide it. Or are you referring to burned in timecode on screen as in visible timecode? Is the material a window dub or footage that contains timecode reference? Why the need to hide it are you using it for an offline and later will replace with the original source material? Tony Salgado Respond to this post Return to posts index


	Re: Creating Letterbox-How To? by 35mmGuy on Dec 2, 2006 at 7:18:56 pm Yes I need to hide it. The VTC is over the black area at the bottom of frame from SD dubs made from a HD master. I need to cut a web trailer from the footage and I want to cover the TC numbers. Plus I have to LTR box the animated title I built so it all looks consistant. But how to do it???????? That is the question?????? Imagine you're explaining this to your 95 year old grandmother, start with, turn on computer..... I need to where exactly these options are you refer to.
