See [[Aspect ratio]] for some examples of [[hard matte|hard matted]], or soft matte (sometimes referred to as full frame or open matte) prints. Some people refer to the matte as a "mask". So "hard mask" and "hard matte" refer to the same thing. | See [[Aspect ratio]] for some examples of [[hard matte|hard matted]], or [[open matte|soft matte]] (sometimes referred to as full frame or open matte) prints.

Hard matted prints have black bars on the top and bottom of the frame. If you are projected a print like this and it comes up put of frame, you will likely see these bars on the screen, making it fairly easy to frame correctly so that they are no longer visible. Soft matte prints do not have these bars at all and the projectionist must frame correctly without them. Follow the guidelines above for framing correctly, but then also pay attention to the image on screen. Look for things like heads being cut off if the framing is too high, lots of space over someone's head or the appearance of boom mics if the framing is too low. | Hard matted prints have black bars on the top and bottom of the frame.
