For a short film, I would like to do this. Basically, there are two ways I can do it, as far as I know. The first is to make a black color matte, and then crop it to 12% on the top, and then make a second black color matte and crop it to 12% on the bottom.
Then I would have a 1920 x 1080p video with black bars on the top and bottom.
Or I could just have my project settings be 1920 x 816 to begin with, and that will give me a very close to 2.35:1 from the start, and no black bars will have to be added on at all.
The final out put would be 1920 x 816 though, if that's okay, for playback on other people's systems. Is there one way, that is better over another?
