Having some serious troubles trying to sort out the framing of these clips I’m playing around with from the footage I shot yesterday. All of my media is exporting with full black frame around the outsides of the video like so;

I have tried to right click and ‘scale to frame’ yet it only seems to cut off the boarders at the left and right sides of the clip, not the top and bottom;

(this is literally just an export of raw footage to test the boarders)

I am wondering whether this is because I’m either not changing the right settings, or because the footage shot on the GoPro physically does not allow for such an alteration – perhaps I filmed in such a way that keeps boarders. It’s very bizarre because while editing, it does not show these boarders and it’s only in the export window where they appear.

For now I will export my test clip media like so, once/if I solve this mystery, I will export my 2 min work for the 5th and final assessment appropriately.
