annoying black borders on compiled videos
 

I have sony vegas 7.0

my problem atm is everytime i render the finished video as an avi it creates annoying black borders on the sides , wether it be top bottom left right. how do i prevent it from doing this?

It's probably because the resolution of your clips are different. Check "properties" (in the map you've placed them) and check what resolution they have, for example 1020x1280. The movie you render should have these options set. Check Fony's How to make a PvP intro for more information regarding this. If you still don't know what to do, just tell me and I will show in Sony Vegas. However, I think Fony describes it pretty good here.

Also make sure to set the pixel aspect ratio to 1.0. :)
