Cinewide
Black bars gone. Nothing cropped.
Films shot wide deserve your whole ultrawide. Cinewide finds the black bars baked into a video and takes them out, without cutting the picture.

Where the bars come from
-
16:9 on a 21:9 screen
Your screen is wider than the video. Bars fill the sides.
-
A 2.39 : 1 film inside a 16:9 video
The film’s own bars are baked into the video. Bars on all four sides.
