When I keep on looking at the crawls I noticed that the letters in the crawl, there is basically a blank space under the text and the letters appear much earlier than the final project, I’m guessing that it was cropped due to this problem?
It’s not a problem. Films are never meant to be projected at full aperture/frame size. Every release made from a different master will have slightly different cropping for this reason.
I believe it was discovered during work on 4K83 that during some screen wipes, the uncropped frame size for one shot would even be different than the other. I’ll see if I can pull up that screenshot…
JEDIT: Here it is - look on the right side of the frame. It’s clear where the projection aperture was supposed to be - that’s why raw frames will always have more image on the sides/top/bottom than the final version:
