mp4s often are in "portrait" mode leaving much black border. How to make that border not appear when overlaying atop other video of a different proportion-say, "landscape"?
If they're in separate tracks, the black shouldn't appear since that's actually an area with no pixels.
If you need to crop, the most reliable way would be to use a mask on the event so you crop out any actual black areas
Thank you, Michael-Harrison
I don't know what level of brain fart I suffered; it seemed like the black was more visible last time I tried overlaying.
Thanks again. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.
@Michael-Harrison: Is there a way to place multiple video files on one track so that each is visible, side-by-side as opposed to overlayed? Like horizontal phone vids and such narrow dimensioned vids.
Not on one track, without pre-rendering of some kind.
But the Picture In Picture fx is perfect for this.
Now, if you only have two and they're always in the same position, you could do this with two tracks and use track motion to place them on-screen.
Try both and see which one works better for you.
