size of the cilps, not full in vs11?

[brucefl]

Haven't run into this till now.
I am scanning photo's and when I try them in vs11,
their is a black box all around it.
I have tried enlarging the pictures no luck.
when I do the dvd, I want them to fill the screen. Proportionatly of course.
tried 640x480. Am I scanning them wrong or something?
thanks Bruce

Hi

Whats¡¦ the aspect ratio of your project.

File-Project Properties, if it indicates 16:9 (widescreen) then you will see a black border around the image.
Change your project properties aspect to 4:3

If you are working with (widescreen) 16:9, use 853 X 480 for your image sizes.
This is the minimum size you should use, if you intend to pan & zoom, it will be best to double this size.

Well, first time I run into it being in the 16:9 mode, you would think after all these years of using it, I would of checked.
Well, guess that is why I use forums
Not sure how it got checked, I never use it. Had to re install everything on the hd, must of been on then.
thanks.

Hi

On earlier versions Video Studio defaulted to 4:3.

It makes me wonder if VS 11¡¦s default setting is 16:9,

Can anybody confirm that this is so.
