Manually set your OBS workspace (Settings->Video->Custom) to one of those 16:9 resolutions (I would advise 1920x1080) and use downscale from there. Before you leave it to dry, make sure the letterbox is level the last thing you want is a crooked letterbox Use a spirit level to check everything is upright and straight. Twitch expects a 16:9 stream you arent actually sending 700p (p ratings assume a 16:9 ratio so 1920x1080, 1600x900, 1280x720). Once the concrete is filled halfway, grab your letterbox and place this in the position you desire. You can also control the position and scale of the letterbox, as well as whether it is landscape or portrait:Īspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Portrait, Letterbox X: -13.24, Letterbox Y: 3. Ah, its because youre on a 16:10 monitor, most likely. You can also scale up the clip and choose the ‘strength’ of the letterbox, which helps show what is is being hidden by the letterbox:Ĭlip Position X: 0.11, Clip Position Y: -0.05, Clip Scale: 115%, Letterbox Strength: 60

You can animate these values using keyframes if needed. TDA displays a thumbnail of the video and this is always a 4:3 thumbnail. This means the DVD is only contains the extra resolution for 16:9 displays. Using the on-screen control or the Clip Position parameters, you can reposition the clip within the letterbox. To see any pillarboxing, use the Letterbox Size control to reduce the size of the letterbox. This is because I’ve setup this effect to work with clips of any aspect ratio – useful for letterboxing graphics and non 16:9 clips.

Note that if you choose a ‘lower’ aspect ratio than the aspect ratio of the clip you are apply this effect to, 4:3 applied to a 16:9 clip for example, you won’t immediately see pillarbox areas on the side of the clip.
