Also useful for preview cropping in various aspect ratios. Please note - while many people may desire this effect, it is somewhat discouraged in favor of using *actual* video resolutions respective of a target aspect ratio.\n\nBesides simply adding \"cinematic bars\", another use case would be to quickly make a starting point to animate them, giving the impression of changing aspect ratios\n(useful for filmmakers desiring a specific focus on a character, or as a storytelling device)\n\nUnlike the [Letterbox](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Sequencer/Letterbox) add-on, it does not scale the video at all. Rather, it adds black bars to the sides of the video (top \u0026 bottom or left \u0026 right) to \"crop\" the video to a specified aspect ratio.\n\n## 2.7x Users\nThis add-on has been updated for Blender 2.8. For 2.79 users, please check the `blender2.7` tag.\n\n## Usage\nThe \"Cinebars\" drawer can be easily found in the Misc tab of the Video Sequencer. Simply plug in your desired aspect ratio and click \"Generate Cinebars Strip\". It will generate 3 strips which you can then move to the top of your timeline: A base color strip, and two transform strips which resizes and overlays the color strips on top\nof the footage.\n\nEx: to generate 2.35:1 (CinemaScope) bars:\n* Enter `2.35` in the Horizontal Ratio slider\n* Enter `1` in the Vertical Ratio slider\n* Click on \"Generate Cinebars strips\".\n\n## Preview\n\n![Screenshot](screenshot.jpg)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzoomten%2Fblender-vse-cinebars","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzoomten%2Fblender-vse-cinebars","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzoomten%2Fblender-vse-cinebars/lists"}
