Parameters in the Inspector
•
Width: Sets the thickness of the border.
•
Color: Picks the color of the border. The color controls can be expanded with the disclosure
triangle to include Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity sliders to more precisely select the color of
the border.
•
Border Placement: Sets where the border is drawn on the image. This pop-up menu has three
options:
•
Inside: Places the border along the inner edge of the image.
•
Overlap: Centers the border over the inner and outer edges of the image.
•
Outside: Draws the border along the outer edge of the image.
•
Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the bordered image.
Widescreen
“Letterboxes” an object by masking the object at its top and bottom to simulate different video
and film aspect ratios. Because this filter masks the image, what appears behind the object is the
background color of the project or the object beneath the masked object in the composite. You
can add a border to the masked image and customize the color and size of the border.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information, see Groups and
rasterization on page 1045.
Note: Because the Widescreen filter masks the object it is applied to, the object is not cropped
and retains its original shape.
