Hello,I'm a new poster here, even though I've been reading the posts here for a couple of months (never got around to registering). Anyways, I've read about all the Widescreen questions here, but I have a new one that's been driving me nuts.
I've filmed with widescreen in mind, however my camera can only do a normal fullscreen recording. So I left enough room on the top and bottom to add bars.
With Adobe Premiere I can just use the Clip filter to put bars on the top and bottom. However, sometimes during filming, there is more stuff thats happening near the top and nothing on the bottom. So I wanted to move the image downwards, have bars on the bottom and put black at the top above the frame that has been moved down. I know this is difficult to understand.
Basically I'm wondering if there is a move filter that will let me move my image downwards (instead of stretching it with the Crop filter) so I can center on the action that happens at the top of the screen and cut more off the bottom. I would appreciate any help, Thank you very much,

well, i haven't used premiere in months, having gone on to media 100 and graduating to avid next semester  . i've uninstalled premiere so i can't remember exactly, but the words "pan" and "offset" seem like winners. look for them under your filters.------------------

what you want to do here, is right click on the clip you want to reposition. and then hit the "motion" tab. in this you can adjust the center of the image and set the fill color to black to simulate the bars. hope this was clear, if not, just say so.------------------

Thanks for all your help guys,The motion is one way to do it, but its not so accurate in how many pixels off the top it is positioned (unless there's a hidden display that tells you). and is there anyway to make the start, center and end point the same in the motion so the image remains still? |

Instead of using the clip filter, I would recommend creating a blank document in PS with the Aspect ratio you want and then importing it into Premiere on a Higher Track. Then selecting "Maintain Aspect Ratio" and setting the tranparency to "White Alpha Matte" this method gives you a little more control over the aspect, and takes less time if your project has multipule clips.------------------
