In watching the Avid screencast on ama Red clips in V5 and up it seems curious in the reformat setting on their clip which they say is 2:1 that it looks different in the Pillar/Letter box reformat as opposed to center keep size. I understand center cut but center keep size has black bars at top and bottom and so does the pillar/letter box setting. What confuses me is why the black bars at top and bottom are bigger in Pillar/Letter box than when in center keep size. For some reason I would think they should be the same. I must be confusing what the "spirit" of these two modes are. I would think center keep size would center the image and maintain the proper aspect ratio and fill to which ever edge hits first. This is what pillar/letter box does, right? Does the keep size mean the actual size so if it is smaller than the raster it will be some sort of postage stamp? I don't have access to any footage to play with right now. TIA
