OMG.

Letter box matte bars are no big deal: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=45266

Good grief.

  1. Keep a matte bar image as a picture somewhere on your computer. http://whoismatt.com/images/croplines/Cinemascope 2-35-1 Croplines.png
  2. Include it as one of your project's clips or materials.
  3. Insert it as the last layer.
  4. Stretch out it's time from beginning to end.
Done.



And they look just fine.

Well, you're not, you're confusing them.

When I started looking into matte-boxing, I was confused by the hundred of videos and plugin's and presets.

When in truth, you don't need anything else than knowing how to use your software.
 
Seriously, why don't you just make the sequence the wanted format and be done with it from the start ?

I know, this always made me scratch my head why people make this so hard...

Then I saw a film riot episode that said use some plugin for bars!
I asked Ryan this same question on twitter..
his reason for using a plugin was that in the Filmriot episodes he often switches aspect ratios..

Which I guess is a good reason, though you could just nest your sequences with differing aspect ratios inside a master timeline with the full frame..
 
I suppose there is a good reason to render standard frame size using crop bars, but its not a specific "technical" reasons. its more along the line of reasoning that drives NASA give astronauts the "poison pill" on every mission.

There are a thousand scenarios that they can imagine why an astronauts might prefer a quick painless death, but they fix those problems, rather, the poison pill is for the millions of reasons they have not yet imagined!

Everyone knows what to do with a 1920x1024 frame. The chances of some beta version of the next great video playback platform on the internet, or the released version of some odd embedded smart TV app getting confused with playing back standard HD frame size is small, but once your start looking at differing frame sizes then your getting off the "golden path" and into potential untested and\or unsupported territory.

That said Iv never had a problem playing back my favorite rendered screen size of 1920x800 ... but you never know..

Also, maybe some of the tools used to verify broadcast standard files don't like odd ratios.

EDIT: The NASA suicide pill is a myth, but its illustrative and used in the movies .. so meh
