Focusing on the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 software this tutorial demonstrates the Ultra Widescreen workflow in the least amount of steps with maximum results. Jon Barrie brings his own experiences to this tutorial and as usual adds plenty of detail along the way going a step (or two) further than just showing how its done and explains the reasoning behind the methods. Enjoy.

i dont have photoshop. can you make the bars a png for download?

[aJBprods]

@HighPriceComedy You can make it within a Title. Make two bars and set them across the top and bottom. You can get more technically accurate if you want and use a rectangle shape. Then set the dimensions in the right column so be 235 wide and 100 high. Then set the centre vertical and horizontal on the shape. Then increase the size with shift and alt key held until is reaches the sides. Set background to black. Use the clip in the edit with opacity set to multiply. Ta Da!

Jon - as a side note i have created a 'WIDESCREEN' folder on my hardrive with several .png mattes that I made in photoshop. Now when i need one I just imort the desired aspect ratio and avoid the 'process' What I love about this method is the ability to keyframe the Y axis adjustments during the shot.

@redtail0202 I just used the one in Magic Bullet (FRAMES) my problem with it is that the moment I apply it i need to render to watch it. With Jons method I can play the timeline without having to render. Also (and this may just be a bug in my system ) When I apply the 2:35.1 MBF fiter - the top letterbox is larger than the bottom and I see no way to adjust this.

@redtail0202 Oh Reeeeaaallly - Hmm I have the MB Suite - I need to investigate - TY

Jon- I wish I had found this last night before I racked my brain only to come up with the exact same process. I am coming from FCP and that has a built in filter that does the crop, allows you to adjust the frame up and down AND renders it out at the Matte ratio automatically. I hope Adobe adds this feature soon - But this is such a useful workaround - Oh and thanks for the math lesson - That helps me a lot. : )
