Question asked on Jun 10, 2017

My PC resolution is 1920x1200 and when recording with Nvidia Shadowplay, the recordings are 1728x1080. If I view these recordings in their raw form, they are completely full screen with no black bars anywhere. If I put them into Windows Movie maker, they show black bars in the preview, even when set to widescreen aspect. If I publish the movie, it always show black bars on every side (top, left, right, and bottom). I've tried 1920x1080, 1728x1080, and 1680×1050 (16:10 downscale) all with the same result. I can't set it to 1920x1200 because the max height it allows is 1080.

If I take this same raw footage and put it in adobe premier with the same output resolutions, I do not get the black bars, so what is going on here?
