CUTSCENE PATCH - NO LETTERBOX EDITION:

"Cutscene Patch - No Letterbox Edition" removes the Letterbox from all Story and Activity cutscenes, including those otherwise untouched by Cutscene Patch!

The way Spadita and I have achieved this is by adding the "Letterbox Fade Out" option to the first Shot of each cutscene.
Unfortunately, this means the Letterbox will still remain for the duration of the first Shot. But it will fade away before the second Shot.
(Since the game's opening cutscene is one long continuous Shot, the Letterbox will remain until the end of this cutscene.)

Bear in mind Saints Row 2's cutscenes were not designed to play without a Letterbox.
You may occasionally see some ugliness which would otherwise have been hidden behind the Letterbox.

Exclusive to the "No Letterbox Edition" are optional versions of the cutscenes included in Female Prison Overhaul, which have had their Letterbox removed.

Yeah, it annoys me too. I looked into this while I was building the Viva Volition! Texture Pack, but there's no transparency in the textures so I don't think it's because of that.
I took a closer look in-game; The only parts which are not transparent (as it appears to me) are the tail, the halo, and the Vice-9s.

I think the issues also the patch they promised could fix some bugs,etc.. since their port pc its not good as console ones but we might see if someone can fix it.

Yeah i really like you can fix shaundi with that repair outfit.. i dont remember she doesnt wear it later after we landed in HQ lol.

She doesnt wear it in the cutscenes.. not sure if in console also happens.
She doesn't wear it on console either: example
I have marked issues which are also present in the Console version with an asterisk (*) in the changelog.
 
awesome work! any chance that the Assault on Precinct 31 cutscene could have an alt version where both Shaundi and Boss are wearing their regular outfits instead though? i have the opposite problem with it than what this changes, Boss made it sound like they wouldn't be caught dead wearing the jumpsuit when Shaundi teases them about it. always thought it was weird they'd then go in front of their crew while still sporting it lol

So, in SR2, the player is never forced to wear an outfit for a cutscene. The player wears whatever they were wearing when the cutscene started.

For example:
-When the "Silver" cutscene starts after completing "Assault on Precinct 31", the player was last wearing the Repair outfit, so continues to wear it for the cutscene.​
-When you replay the "Silver" cutscene from the TV in your Crib, the player will continue wearing whatever they were wearing when the cutscene was selected to be replayed.​

The Prison outfit in the opening mission is no exception to this. It is not actually an "Outfit" (like how the outfits in the Wardrobe are "Outfits"), they are the player's default clothes, controlled by a dedicated file, to be worn at the start of a new game.
The player is already wearing the Prison clothes when the Intro cutscene (with Barney and Fred [the guards]) starts, and so the player continues to wear them in cutscenes until you are told to change them at Sloppy Seconds in the second mission.

Since there's no Table Description at the bottom of Cutscene files, it's hard to know if there's a function to force the player to wear (or not wear) a specific outfit.


TLDR; Sadly, I'm not sure this is possible. Good idea though, I hadn't thought of that!

UPDATE:
Ignore most of the above! It turns out there IS a command to force an outfit (it is used in the first three cutscenes of the game), but it doesn't seem there is an option to force no outfit. Unfortunately, what you're asking still doesn't seem possible.​
The file I've attached forces the player to wear the Repair outfit in the "Silver" cutscene (Cutscene Patch version), so it will even be worn in replays!:​

File no longer attached to this post, but it is included in Version1.1.

thanks for the explanation, appreciate it. i didn't even consider there's no example of what i was requesting in the game at all, just kinda assumed it probably wouldn't be that easy since Boss doesn't exactly just switch models like the npcs do
