(Left) Original standard definition image, (Right) Image with default Blanking Fill applied
A variety of controls let you easily customize this effect to suit your own purposes.
Source
These controls let you transform the clip in different ways, which also affects how that clip is used to fill the blanking area.
— Zoom: Zooms the clip while keeping it within the native domain of definition. Good for quickly cropping unwanted pixels around the edges so they’re hidden and aren’t used for blanking fill.
— Crop Left and Right: Crops both the left and right edges of the image and increases the area at the sides with blanking fill.
— Same Left/Right Sliders: On by default, locks both sliders together so moving one moves the other by a mirrored amount.
— Crop Top and Bottom: Crops both the top and bottom edges of the image and increases the vertical area with blanking fill.
— Same Top/Bottom Sliders: On by default, locks both sliders together so moving one moves the other by a mirrored amount.
— Center: If checked, re-centers the image area if a sizing operation has offset it.
Fill Extent
These controls let you choose how the current duplicate of the image is stretched to fill the blanking area.
— Zoom Mode: There are three options:
— Stretch to Timeline: Automatically warps the image to stretch it to fit the full frame. Keeps features in the blanking fill area level with where they appear in the original image.
— Zoom to Timeline: Automatically zooms into the image to fit the full frame. Results in the clip looking “inset” from the blanking fill image.
— Manual: Reveals Expand and Aspect sliders that let you manually choose how much to zoom and stretch the image to fit the blanking fill area.
— Warp Top Layer: lets you use onscreen controls to choose a section of the edge of an image to stretch out to fill blanking in the frame. In this mode, there are two sets of onscreen controls you can use to customize the result:
A set of outer handles let you choose how far out to warp the edges of the image to fill whatever blanking there is. These default to the project frame size.
