it has this thing where its widescreen but with black borders...I'm guessing you just crop it out but is there a better way to deal with it...and get it to work with the episodes..i dont know may be a problem because its different sizes once croped

The Evangelion movies are widescreen. Evangelion TV is Not. Do not use both in conjunction unless you like defining masks on footage.

ok forget the series..and I was just asking if there was a way. And I'll be using after effects so not a big deal..just gonna be clipped.
But I wanna know about the movie and whats best way to go at it if cropping isnt best way

Crop 60 pixels from each the top and the bottom (it might be something like 40, some movies are shorter bars than other movies) and then on the final distro encode resize to something like 512x272.

If you use avisynth, just add this:

Crop(20,69,-24,-67) It'll remove the black margines from the tops and size. If you don't want mess with the letterboxed EoE..you could pay almost 400 dollars and import the Renewal, where the movie is anamorphic and clean shaven.

Resizing loses a wee bit o' video data, and MPEG-based codecs like to have their dimensions in 16-pixel increments, so I just shave a little extra off the sides and leave a little bit of black at the top and bottom. All the ugly checkerboarding is at the sides anyway.

don't crop it; use it as if it were a 2nd level Canvas and Then define the Camera' view and angle ^^

it looks much better . . plus, you can move it around as if it were still a single-picture on a mat ^_^
