Aspect Matte – Easier Letterbox/Pillarbox Matting in FCP
The Widescreen filter in Final Cut Pro can be anoying for two reasons: you have to apply it to each clip and it leaves transparent bars instead of a true matte. I’ve been using the method described here for quite some time now. Me being me, I assumed it was common practice, but perhaps not. So I’ve decided to share my extensive matte collection with everyone.
Below you will find a zip archive containing PSD files in common resolutions/formats (including HD & RED) with the following black mattes:
- 1.33 (4:3)
- 1.5 (3:2)
- 1.67
- 1.78 (16:9)
- 1.85
- 2 (2:1)
- 2.39 (2.35)
