    YouTube Black Bars
    I am having problems formatting a YouTube video. This is only a test video. Any help is appreciated.


    Video has 3 elements - text at the beginning, a screensaver video, and another screensaver video.


    I put the 3 elements together in a video editor - then uploaded to YouTube.


    At the beginning of the video there is text that is shown - made on MS word (landscape mode.) Then I used a screen capture program to capture it as a video file.


    After this text appears - then the 2 other elements play - simple screensavers.


    The problem is that the text video file does not fit the screen (black bars on the left and right.).


    After that the 2 other elements play perfectly and fit the screen.


    How can I make the text potion at the beginning fit the screen just like the other 2 elements at the end?


    There is a watermark on the video because I am using a trial version of a video editor.


    Video can be seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2fRXwx9BYs


    I appreciate and help you can give. Thanks!

    I don't know the answer, the only suggestion I have is to make sure all your elements have the same aspect ratio. You might need to expand the first segment so it fits the same area as the second and third.

    Did you format the video to the same dimensions as the 2 that you are matching to it?

    Also if you need to keep it the same size so the fonts look correct then you may be able to change the bars to a different color such as white to match the rest of the screen.
