Sony Movie Studio/FRAPS/AH Film viewer question

[HollyWood750]

After reading what some of the other people here are using, I settled on Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 to work on AH videos.  On the film I am working on now, I noticed that some of the clips come out in the letterbox format.  it may be a FRAPS issue, or AH film viewer issue, as I think it may be happening when I set the camera angle up as Plane Relative versus World Relative.  Anyone else have this issue?  I'd rather it not be letterboxed in just a few shots... but if that's what it is, that's what it is. lol.

Thanks..

Hmm... not sure Hlywd.  I've only messed with the film viewer and getting shots a little bit, but I do plan on doing a film with different camera shots soon.  I was thinking I'd just bypass the film viewer altogether and record the shots with MSI Afterburner and just edit them inside of SMS.

I think it all depends on the combination of your monitor resolution, playing back the AHFilm shot fullscreen, and the screen size that FRAPS is recording. Add to that the file aspect/size you set your project to in the movie editor when you import your recorded AH shots. I doubt it has anything to do with how you set up your shots in the film viewer (world relative versus plane relative).

Try setting your screen resolution to 720p specs, play back AHFilm in full screen, and record FRAPS as full screen, as long as your project is set for 720p in Sony Movie Studio, it should import without letterboxing.

Thanks Triton, ImA!
