I make a lot of videos for YouTube, just wondering how I add two black bard on my videos like cinema style.

Either on Windows Movie Maker or avs media?

Get a sheet of black paper, cut two thin strips off and glue them to your monitor at the top and bottom of the screen. Then even Windows will be in widescreen :cool:

I know quoting yourself is like killing innocent kittens but anyway. That would be an ace tip for the guy who has random **** tips in his signature

Depends what editing tool you are using.

In FCP I would create another video track, make a PSD of the right dimensions in photshop, import it with the black bars as layers, then set that as your top video track. Or you could crop your video top and bottom, or you could change the aspect ratio and scale your video down but I wouldnt do either of these.
