transition size

I am trying to use the squeeze transition between two videoevents in 16:9 size. Unfortunatelly the effect it self goes only in standard aspect 4:3 and it looks terrible as the effect goes out of the frame Any one knows here how to reduce the transition size to 16:9? If possible...

Where do you see this:

in the internal video preview?

External monitor preview?

in the rendered file?

PAL or NTSC?

I'm guessing that you're not working with true 16:9 footage, but actually 4:3 footage that has been cropped to 16:9 with black bars on the top and bottom. Is this correct? That would explain why the transition affects the entire 4:3 area since the black bars are part of the frame.

Yes, I allways shoot in 4:3 and crop it to 16: as gives a choice.
I see it in internal monitor but also in rendered and burned format (PAL)
I only want to know if there is an easy way to fix it?

Ok, I see what's happening. Since you are faking 16:9, your best bet I think is to overlay a black letterbox mask across the entire project.

Create a new video track at the top, add a solid color generator, "white" preset, loop it out across the entire project. Apply the 16:9 crop preset to this event. Make the top track a mask track. Done. There are other ways to do it.

That was quite simple
Thanx
