Hi

When i am uploading edited videos to Youtube the original file looks fine, but the end result is Top and bottom 4/10's are black bars and only the middle 5th and 6th 10th have video. It's like it's been flattened by Youtube. Even the thumbnails are flattened.
I've never had this problem before, and as i said the original file looks fine.

Any ideas to the issue?

Thanks

Hi Bunraku70 -

It's hard to work out what's happening there, as you haven't provided much detail.

I do recall a similar thing happening (a long while back) when uploading WMV files from PDR. At that time, it was necessary to add a tag to the affected video... yt:crop=16:9

It's referenced here.

If that doesn't help, please post some more detail here... like the production format & profile that was used. Screenshots & links would help too.

Cheers - Tony
