Thanks to fox_mahoney's excellent OSC tutorials, Letterboxed v2 has now some on-screen-control magic:



You can drag the source to any position, you can rotate it with the lil' lever, and by click'n drag the outer circle, you can zoom the source video.



Enjoy Movie Making!

Additional new: honorable forum member Paul was so nice to create me an INSTALLER! If you're not familiar with manual installation of plugins, download the INSTALLER file; double click it to unzip it; double click again on the pkg file:

thank you this is the first effect i've downloaded

This is the best letterbox for FCP and it is just perfect as I wanted. I had been using Alex4D Letterbox but there was no minimum thickness control. If I wanted to reduce thickness it would add the pillarbox, which was so annoying. ks_letterbox is jus as I was looking for. Thanx for your generosity to make it free. Cheers!
