It seems to be clipped on either side, never had this happen before. Is it because I set it to run like Maya? And if so how do I get it back?
Thanks,
Marque

Right click on view display options (first icon in your main camera view window) and go to frame guides and change it .

Nothing I change it to changes it. What am I doing wrong here?

No matter what I do I still have the strips on either side, frustrating.

Instead of right clicking on the icon I went to display and changed it. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

Grr worked until I rendered it then it went back to the strips on either side.

Sorry but what strips? Could you post a screengrab?
Marque posted Thu, 24 May 2007 at 10:08 AM
The main area used to cover the viewing area. Now I have these strips of nothing on either side and it's driving me crazy as my pic extends on either side but those areas don't render. I'm thinking I must have chosen something in the options to do this. Is there any way other than re-installing the program to reset it?
Thanks,
Marque

This is due to the aspect ratio you chose (maybe without meaning to) for the image. It's normally set to standard PC 4:3 which fits, as the name implies, on the screen (assuming you don't have some odd monitor size). If I choose standard PC vertical 3:4 I get the same bars as you. Vue is showing you the non-renderable areas due to the chosen aspect ratio.
Just set it back to standard in the render settings and it'll be OK.

Actually it's because the size of your screen doesn't have a 4/3 ratio. The strips are here to show you only what will be rendered at the size you chose in the render options (or a 4/3 ratio by default)

It would be interesting to know if Marque has just changed his display, because if not (and if it all looked okay beforehand on the same monitor) I stil think that the image aspect ratio must have changed. According to my quick calcs the screenshot is 1360 x 768 - which is a perfectly respectable monitor size, but well off the 4:3 ratio, so yes, it could be the display size causing this.
Have to say though that my monitor is not 4:3 (it's 1280 x 1024, which is 5:4) and I don't get those strips with an image of 4:3 aspect ratio.

Spedler, my screen is like yours, and I do get the strips, only very tiny, and at top & bottom.

Perhaps they're so small I haven't noticed them!

I hadn't noticed them either before your post, actually!
