matinee was working fine with cutscenes/director groups on my end. haven't seen this issue yet. my letter boxes are off though. is it a letterbox issue?
JamesTan - I looked at the cameras that I have set up and under Camera Actor the "Constrain Aspect Ratio" is checked to be on, "Aspect Ratio" is set at 1.777780 and "FOVAngle" is set to 90.
Good news, all I had to do was check off the constrain aspect ratio button on the camera actor properties and the cameras work like you would expect!! Thanks everyone for your help on this!!! :)
