is there a way to make the black bars to get a wide-screen aspect ratio.

I know i COULD just change the dimensions of my stage to get a 16:9 format, but i WANT the black lines (i was going to put play controls in them)

Thanks.

    Use them with your play controls on the top layer.

      you could make a mask layer with borders that come down onto your work area, then put the buttons on the topmost layer over the mask...

        yeah, i can make a mask or just create two black bar shapes, but want I want is to create bars that are the CORRECT aspect ratio. (so I can one day watch my animation on a widescreen TV)

        I know people have made "TV safe" templates that can be placed into a layer, so maybe there are "HDTV safe" templates or something?
