Topic: How do I fill the black bars from the window, not the video, in MPC-HC

I'm trying to fill the black bars when I have a situation like this where the black bars are being cause by the window aspect ratio, and aren't baked into the video. How do I do this?

"Frame crop"

Re: How do I fill the black bars from the window, not the video, in MPC-HC

This is what I get from cropping. It's just replacing sections of the video with glow. I'm trying to get something like this, which I made in After Effects.

No, you don't want frame crop.

Instead, you want "Outer lighting" with it set to "Fill black bars only".

ah, i see  big_smile

with default settings it fills black bars to the screen aspect ratio only
if you want more (or less) than the screen aspect you need to modify the script, in the 'override.js' file
see "smooth.light.aspect" value

You can look also to fields lighting parameters, Flare length
And it equivalent to "smooth.light.length" value in the 'override.js' file wink

Is there like a placeholder value I can use that represents the window dimensions? Also when you modify that value, it will always do the lighting, even when you disable it in the settings.
