Hi Nat,

I have updated to the latest version [v3.28] - probably only temporarily as it seems very slow to load clips and IMHO the gain in program facilities does not justify the requested upgrade fee.

Yes, it does do as you say. Thank you. I have now corrected the squashed aspect ratio of the 2 errant clips.

Nat,

Thank you for your explanation which I understand completely, I think, and it would work as you state BUT I do not see anywhere to set the value for X value nor Y independently: there is only "Scale %" without differentiation of axis. Thus the whole image merely becomes larger or smaller, not the ratio of height to width to affect the aspect ratio.

Maybe such differentiation occurs in other versions of VideoPad (mine is v3.01)?

I have some video clips which which I need to squash vertically (people are too tall / skinny). Using "motion >> scale", adjustment applies proportionally to width and height so the result is no different.

Is there another parameter adjustment which will do what I want - or a (freeware) external program or plugin?
