how do you call marks?

[LDS]

I have no idea.. I lost it... how do you call the black marks on a bottom and top of a lot of films? I know they have specific name? But my brain is too stupid to remember

I know it's not cropmarks it's something else...

matte. As in a 1.85 matte, 2.35 matte etc?

thanks!

does anyone know if I can do it on canon 60D without Magic L. ?

That would be work during post not on the 60D itself. Adding the 'black bars' on the top and bottom of your 16:9 video is not going to change anything. Adding them on the video itself, calculated for another aspect (like 2.35) will give you a different result. You'll end up losing some of the resolution and picture, obviously.

You can't do i even WITH Magic Lantern.

ML will only overlay bars so that you have an idea of the final look. The video you're recording is still 1920:1080 which is 16/9.

You have to crop in post. Whatever the software you're easing, it should be easy to do.

You can always put black tape on the camera's viewscreen, top and bottom of the screen, the crop it in post.
