Hey, I'm making a counter-strike movie but I've run into some problems. The problem is that black borders appear at the side of the video even though I can't see these borders in the "preview section". Any ideas on what I should do? Is there maybe a setting I've accidenatly used or something?
Regards

I need a bit more information about the video. What resolution were you recording in, and what resolution are you actually rendering the video in?

The Preview Tab might have a resolution of set that doesn't show black bars. While you might be rendering the video in a different resolution/aspect ratio that does include black bars.

Oh, sorry for not including more information. The project is a cutom project with the settings " (1920x1080; 59,940 fps) " and I'm trying to render as Windows Media Video V11(*.wmv) with the custom settings:
Mode: CBR
Format: Windows Media Format 9
Image Size: Custom
With(Pixels):1920
Height(Pixels):1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,333(HD 1080)
Frame rate(fps): 59,94 (Double NTSC)
Seconds per keyframe: 5
Override default compression buffer (seconds): 3
Video smoothness: 100.

When I recorded the video I used the command "Endmovie x 200" which could create 200 images (*.bmp) every second until i stopped the movie with the command endmovie. I recorded this whilst using the resolution 1920x1080.

EDIT: This is how it turned out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qrwGgmjhTo, what I want is for the video to be fullscreen.

From what it looks like...you're playing the game at a smaller resolution. Your rendering/preview settings look right.

Can you take me what resolution you have the game at? Also I guess it might be something to do with the recorder. I generally use fraps and it seems to do well. So...yea...that's all I got sorry I couldn't help anymore. I wish you luck with your journey regarding this rendering issue.

Hmm weird because the images I used to make the .avi file are 1920x1080p... How weird..

The problem is that black borders appear at the side of the video even though I can't see these borders in the "preview section".

A couple of things to bear in mind - the borders will only appear in the preview window when you're actually rendering the video (i.e. when the progress pop up is on screen), not when you're actually editing the video. Secondly, make sure that the preview window is plenty big enough to show them, since the margins on the window are quite big - it can look like you're seeing the whole preview at times when you're just not. Sounds silly I know but it's very easy to be caught out by it. if there's still no borders showing on the preview taking both of those into account... eh.
