If your exported movie has black bars on both sies and the top, it's because your'e using an SD sequence with widescreen aspect ratio. Modern DSLR cameras shoot widescreen.
This was shot with a Canon T3I, Magic Lantern, Cinestyle techincolor.
You don't have to start from scratch. Just click on File/New/Sequence to create a new sequence choose the widescreen format. Next, go back to your old sequence, and select and copy everything on the timeline. Go back to new sequence, paste it, and voila, your black bars are gone!
FYI this slow motion was shot with these setttings:
1/250 exposure
1920x1080 60hz movie reorder
70-200mm shitty canon lens wide open at I believe f/5.6 (I need a new lens!)
Magic Bullet Looks for color correction
The really really important rules for slow motion filming:
-Shoot at a short exposure time (unlike regular film)
-Shoot at 60hz, not 24hz
-Focus so that the objects are IN focus when they are NEAREST to the camera. This is true if they are entering or exiting frame (running into or out of focus).
-Do not enable 'Frame Blend'. It will make fast moving parts of your video very blurry. If you're shooting at 60fps, this is unnecessary. Only use this if you shot at 24hz and are slowing it down (but this will look terrible no matter what).
