Black Bar On Left Side Of All Clips

PostSat Feb 06, 2021 11:07 pm

All the video clips in a small project are off center creating a black bar on the left side of each clip. I can't figure out why or how to fix it. Cropping it off doesn't work. I'm assuming this is a new bug with 17.8 beta, but I'm not sure. I could have done something to cause this, but I haven't had this problem before.
I've attached a screen view of one clip with the "safe area" outlined. You can see the black area on the left.

Windows 10, P4000 quadro, 128gbs, 8 core.

Thanks

Jim

Do you have "Scale Entire Image to Fit" for mismatched resolution files in the Image Scaling setup?

Is it possible you bumped a knob while in the timeline node, so that the entire thing got shifted to one side? (Don't laugh, it happens.)

Is it possible that Blanking got turned on and is covering up the image?

Can you shoot a full-frame sizing chart to verify that the camera itself doesn't have a problem?

Thanks Marc,

It wasn't a Blanking adjustment, but the Pan adjustment in the Sizing was off for some reason. I hadn't been in that panel at all. I wouldn't have thought of that myself.

My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
