Black Bar Removal? HELP ME

[Brenden]

There like damn cockroaches, can't get rid of those black bars on the side of the video. I need to do this outside of youtube, so is there any apps or tricks or anything?

you sure you have the aspect ratio right?

Make sure the aspect ratio is 16:9 when you export. Easy fix.

The bar is on the side,will it still work?

The bar is on the side,will it still work?

Yes. That means your video is not wide enough. It is probably set to 4:3 instead of 16:9

Yes, but when I set it to 16:9 the black bars are still there...

Then just scale up the video. What are you rendering at vs what was the video filmed at?

The source video is not 4:3. This is a setting on your camera/capture card/whatever you are recording with.

What program do you edit in? For future reference, next time you record check the aspect ratio before. Most editors will allow you to stretch the footage, but it will be just that. Stretched. Also, make sure you have the pixels set to square.
