2. Re: CS4: Converting AVCHD to NTSC widescreen - narrow vertical bars
Christopher Duncan Jun 23, 2010 11:03 AM (in response to John T Smith)Hi, John.
Here's what I've learned thus far from Googling a bit. This seems to be a common issue, and the solution I've seen proposed (actually from a Vegas forum but the issue is the same) is to expand or crop the image. Taking that advice, I've cropped the top and bottom by 12 and it gets rid of the bars.
While this seems to work, I can't help but feel that this is a hack and that there's actually a "proper" way to deal with this. Surely we're not the only folks going from AVCHD to NTSC widescreen, so I'd be surprised if this was something that the Adobe devs simply missed.
So, while I have a momentary workaround, I'm still in search of the best way to address this issue. Hope my hack is helpful to you as well.
Chris

John T Smith Jun 23, 2010 12:14 PM (in response to Christopher Duncan)Cropping is discussed in (I think) the 2nd link I posted
The problem I found is that if I use a Title... cropping does not work
