Is the production frame, last night I was playing with an image and the production frame completely disappeared and yes I clicked view and show production frame, it was nowhere to be found, so needless to say when I hit render it just rendered black, I was on camera 1. now also in the manual it says to resize pull the dots on the corners, so I do that, it resizes rectangle always, how in the world do you do a tall (not wide) pic. I hope this makes sense, early in the morning here in florida

You can go in the render room and uncheck "keep proportions", then you can drag the corners to any proportion you like. Or, also there you can manually type the numerical resolution. You should be careful of too much zooming with the trackball controls in the camera view. A black render tells me you zoomed way, way out or inside of something. If you hve this problem you can create a new camera in the default position and delete the first one.

Hi Dirk, Go to the render room and un-tick the box 'Keep Proportions' in the 'Output' tab. The disappearing of the production frame could have to do with using the command+option+f (or equivalent) without knowing...?

thanks everybody, gonna make a world of difference

You can also use the drop-down in the camera view and choose 'Reset camera' to get it back to the default position if you've lost track of where you are.

grabbed it, very nice of all of you thanks

Hiding the rendering camera sometimes makes the Production Frame unavailable.

I accidentally reduced the PF to a box so small I couldn't find it. Still not sure how, but I'm sure it was a user error. To solve the problem, I switched to another camera and if I remember correctly, I could see the PF as an object in front of the production camera. I zoomed in with the working camera, grabbed the PF dots, and resized it. Am I imagining all this? M

No. You can see the production frame from other camera views and tug on it.
