FCPX Basic Training Series Part 15. In this HD VoiceTutorial for Apple Final Cut Pro 10,; What the hell is letterboxing? We learn how to apply an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio letterbox effect inside FCPX. We cover the built in letterbox effect / plug in and cover my manual letterbox overlay that is available for download for everyone to use on their projects.
We will take a look at some of the problems faced when letterboxing, including solutions to those problems but also some of the advantages and why it is done.

I have a problem when using your letterbox... it seems like it doesn't cover the image perfectly,on the very outside it still shows a super thin line of what is being overlaid... I'm not sure how to fix this or whether i should just make my own?

[danonabouncycastle]

@MrCarseallday increase the scale from 100 to 101 - this should fix any clipping issues.

Not necessary to make the overlay. You can use the offset.

@drskywalkerluke i did discuss in the video other reasons why the overlay is beneficial :)

[drskywalkerluke]

@danonabouncycastle okay, fine :). A question… do you know how to export only a portion of the entire sequence? I mean only a selected portion? Thank you very much!

[danonabouncycastle]

@drskywalkerluke as far as i am aware, you can only define a an export 'region' using compressor. i have a tutorial in my FCPX Playlist about using FCPX and compressor - otherwise i dont think you can :(

I'll have so many subscribers erm..... I dunno really LOL

[drskywalkerluke]

@drskywalkerluke actually a way to export only a selected portion of the whole sequence is assigning it a new role, like for example "my subsequence"….

[drskywalkerluke]

@danonabouncycastle now I have a good reason to buy Compressor… :)
