 Hey guys, shea bear 1,000 here Are you guys using an old camera that's still in 4.3? And you want to change it to 16.9 if you're tired of your screen? Looking like this. I'm going to show you how to make it look like this Today on shea bear 1,000 Okay guys, this is how We're going to make that happen what that's doing is changing your aspect ratio, okay? So your acts aspect ratio and these old cameras are 4.3 and you want to change it to 16.9 which is this right here, okay? Now I'm using this power director 15 now don't be alarmed you can get a free version of it But it does have a watermark if that does not bother you fine, but I don't like that I don't you know, I mean especially because this is not a promotional video. They're not paying me I'm not being promoted to do this or they're not you know This is I'm doing this on my own free will as you can see it's from cyberlink. It's power director 15 I also have 14 and I have 17 but the 17 is not the free It's the free version. Okay, but this power director 15. I have I did a free upgrade They call it 16, but actually all it is is power director 15 with More stuff you can use that I'll never use okay I'm going to get rid of this. This is just free stuff that you can put in your video or practice on or whatever so What I'm what I'm going to do guys is okay. I've got my camera hooked up. All right, so I'm going to go to capture All right, and it'll bring my camera up right here. Now what I'm using right now is a Sony DV or mini DV mini DV So it's got the little discs now. I can import this into my computer In a couple different ways I can actually take that disc out and put it in my disc drive and import it that way or I can use a capture card which I'm using right now now The capture card that's a different that's a different video if you want to see how I do that I will do a video. I'll probably just do it anyway But let me know in the links below in the link below if you know if you want to know how to do that This I gave $40 for this one. It was originally 60 and I bought it at we got this at Best buy okay, but like I said, there is a free version and if you want to try it You you know you can try it out and if you like it then okay, then you can purchase it Which I I'm not sure what they what they cost online But I'll I'll put the price on the screen and put a link in the description below But the capture card I'm using is a $7 capture card. Okay, so I mean They're cheap. They're cheap Just it's a USB Just make sure anytime you use USB capture cards make sure you put them Plug them into the 3.0 USB port. It works much better. Okay, I also have another one by It's dazzle by pinnacle studio now They're like 40 bucks and but I like this cheap one better. It seems to work better no lag time But the dazzle it is also a An editor But I didn't get $40 for it. They wanted $15 for it was brand new at a flea market I got it for 10, but what we're going to do right now is let's just go ahead and we're going I got my camera turned on brought up. There's my clips I'm going to use this clip right here, and I'm just going to hit record now I'm going to get down here my camera and I'm going to Play that clip and what it's going to do. It's recording this clip right now. This is just a few second clip I recorded in the backyard just to show you how to Change your aspect ratio So we're not going to be doing any editing per se. So let's go ahead and stop this here Okay, so it stopped now I'm going to stop it on my camera and as you can see it brought it up here now You can change this and name it whatever you want like a test clip or you know demonstration clip whatever But I'm just going to leave it like that. I'm going to click okay now. It should bring there It is it brought it up here now. I'm going to go to edit. Okay, and what that's going to do It's going to bring it here And then it's going to put it over here in my preview window and down here on my timeline Okay, or storyboard whichever you prefer now as you can see It's got the black bars on the side because and also make sure this is in 16.9 Because this clip is in 4.3 Okay aspect ratio as you can see the black bars on the side now. I wanted to go full screen Okay, now there's a couple different ways you can do that. Okay. I'm just going to click on that make turn it blue Okay, now see you can crop this you can move this around and crop it, you know, however you want I don't want to do that Because I found an easier way. All I'm going to do is go down here to my storyboard my timeline Right-click it now on this pop-up menu here. You'll see clip attributes It's like the third one from the bottom or third one up from the bottom Go over here to set aspect ratio Okay, click on that and it'll bring this window up here and now the second one down It says this aspect the aspect ratio of this video is 4.3. So click on that All right Now it should come up stretch clip to 16.9 aspect ratio If it doesn't just click your little arrow and make sure it does and then from then on unless you change it It'll stay like that every time you bring it up and then watch over here on your In your preview window watch as soon as I hit okay, I click okay, and there it is now We are in full screen. There you go. Just like that. It's easy. That's how easy it is So I'm going to undo that right up there And I'm going to show you again I'm just going to come down here to my storyline storyboard timeline whatever right click it set clip attributes Set aspect ratio and Then go to the second one down to where it says the aspect ratio of the video is 4.3. Click on it Make sure it says stretch clip to 16.9 aspect ratio and click okay And there it is. That's all there is to that guys. It's that simple So guys, that's how you change your aspect ratio through an editing software I don't know what other softwares you can do that with but this is the one it is right here That's what the box looks like See power power director 15 ultra Like I said it This did cost me 40 bucks. I'm not sure what they're running online But if you want the free version it works fine. It just has a watermark That's all you know, I mean and every time I look in this camera because you know, it's wide angle It looks like that TV's crooked and I keep turning around, but it's not just this camera but anyway, so and This is the camera right here That I just showed you that I was using now you can also It's a it's the same way with any any your old old for your your old footage is your old clips Um Kind of made it worse, but anyway It works, you know VHS tapes the same way now in order to import it If you want to see me see how I do that with a capture card, I'll be glad to show you just leave it in the comments below And uh, and I'll show you how to I'll probably do it anyway One day this week and we'll see but There's not much to it at all guys Uh, if if you know your way around a computer just a little bit you can figure that out With the help of youtubers There's a lot of youtube videos on how to do it and probably something better than mine But I try to I try to go into detail pretty much on what What the task is because a lot of guys they'll they'll start off. Okay their their uh title will say you know how how to crop or how to change aspect ratio and Excuse me and When you start watching your video first of all they're talking about a whole bunch of other stuff that you don't want to know how to do You know, so I didn't want to add that in Because I didn't want to bore people You know what I mean? Like I'm boring you right now But and then and then it's like they touch, you know, their their Their videos like 12 minutes long and they touch on everything for 10 to 10 and a half minutes on that you didn't want to know about and then like a minute and a half on how to do that And then they or they they don't talk during they just play Play music and they show the mouse clicks and they're going really fast and you got to stop and pause and all that I try not to do that. I try to explain to you and also, you know, be feel free to ask questions down below so And I'll I will also show you how I've got my mics set up. I'm using this one right now And you guys have seen this one, you know, it's got the You know that on I can show you how I've got that stuff all set up and You know just some stuff like that some technical for the for anybody that may be just starting out You don't need a lot of money, you know What I give for this camera 10 bucks or something. I I can't even remember what I gave for that's without the light But you know, I had to buy batteries for it and these batteries are kind of junk. This one's about done I get I get about 12 minutes on this battery here. It came with two and a charger One of them never did really hold a charge, right? But It did come with a battery the battery that came with it is the original battery and it'll it'll it'll stay charged It'll hold a charge. I mean you can get through four minutes out of But um, I mean, you know, so you can find these cheap cameras, you know, like like this is one I got at a At a flay market, you know Works fine Um, it just you don't need a whole lot of stuff. Use your phone. You know, use your phone. Uh, just remember don't Guys don't know video time. I hate when you see somebody walking around going They're holding their phone like this Filming and then they upload on youtube and all you can see is just this little bit right here just right here nothing else Hold it like this What landscape not portrait. So anyway guys, thanks for watching. I appreciate it I'm gonna get off here take some medicine and uh edit this video for you guys So I hope you enjoyed it and I hope it helped. I really do Uh, because I know I you know when I started I got my first used Uh computer I think I gave 20 bucks for the monitor and everything and it was old it was uh When it was 98, I think I didn't even know how to turn one on or shut it off and I learned all this myself I didn't get any classes Probably 70 percent of the stuff the technical stuff I learned from youtube and um The rest of it, you know, I just I taught myself. I just figured it out Well, probably 60 off youtube 40. I just figured out on my own So it's not that hard. So anyway guys I'm gonna take some medicine.
