Quote: Hi,

Is there someway that I can eliminate black edges on a picture and retain all of the main picture? Like block out the black "letter box" side parts and remain with main pic?

Many thanks .....Darcy13

Letter box happens if you have a 16:9 Aspect Ratio video and produce it as 4:3 Aspect Ratio video.

The Aspect ratio selection is on top of the Powerdirector user interface next to the little gear icon.

Select the correct Aspect Ratio for the video.

Youtube Help shows examples.

Thank you Carl.
What I really want to do,if possible, is to eliminate the black bars, without changing Ratio in a VERTICALLY TAKEN frame?
I have tried it by changing pic to .png format and using over an image. Trouble there is that the image pop''s into background, like magic. What I'd like to do is phase/fade it in gradually?
Is there another way to avoid black bars with vertical photo,without changing AR

Are you asking about a vertically shot video from a Mobile Phone? If so, there is not much you can do. You cannot filll the screen with the image because that would distort the image.

You can put a background image behind the vertical shot video and fill the screen with that background.

I am sure you have seen news media when they show a vertical shot video, with the blown up portion behind the vertical image.

Example of method.
