Hi AHMAD SANI -

Using that template, the only thing you can do to avoid the annoying black bars is to crop every photo to 16:9 before opening Magic Movie Wizard. The template has NO ability to crop photos for itself to match the frames. No can this be done by editing in Theme Designer.

You can crop all the photos to 16:9 while the photos are in the timeline. Select > Crop Image > 16:9

Cheers - Tony

Thank You very Much. But do you know any method I can use to convert all my image to 16:9 earlier. I mean before putting it to timeline,I wanna make it 16:9 already. So I dont have to put it into timeline first then crop it later plus there are too many images to put in the magic movie wizard.

Hi,

many photo editors offer batch resize possibilities. If you don't have a photo editor maybe try a *free resizer*?
Just something.

The photo resizer Nina linked does a good job of batch cropping. You'll find the crop to aspect ratio option under Advanced Options.
