Stills and Letter-Boxing

When I add a still as a connected clip to an existing storyline, letter-boxing occurs. What are the ways to replace the letter-box with the color black.

Thanks

CCut away the underlying layer or sandwich a black generator between the still and the primary storyline.

Do you really need to show the still in its entirety, and have that letterboxing?

You could simply change the spatial conform property in the inspector from "fit" to "fill" instead, and get rid of the letterboxing - assuming you can afford to lose a little bit of the top and bottom of the still image.
