Noob need exporting help

[mustakimk80801686]

Hello guys, sorry in advance for probably a really stupid question but I'm done editing and I'm finished exporting, but when I view the clip black bars on the side appear but they weren't anywhere in the preview earlier. But the last project I worked on that's similar to this new one exported fine with no borders. I messed around with some sequence setting after abit of googling and and made the frame size same with the video preview. But when I import the project it tells me that the sequence setting are different so I tried both don't change and change but neither work. If this helps I just took afew photos on a DSLR and put it in one sequence to make a timelapse. Also the picture files are JPG. Thanks in advance

You get black bars because your stills are not 16:9 as presumably your monitor is.

How can I fix that? Or can it be because I shot in a wide angle lens?

Stills dont have the same aspect ratio a video does.

Stills are usually 3:2 and video 16:9.

If you want no black bars you will have to setup a HD (1920x1080) or UHD (3840x2160) sequence and crop the stills into the frame.

Thanks you so much. Also if you dont need to answer and I don't have any info but I'm just curious, how come my lest edit worked fine? Is it because if a different lens?

Lens has nothing to do with it.

Its the resolution in the camera: height and width of the file.
