How do I change the aspect ratio


Alberto All

Recommended Posts

Upload a sample horizontal file and someone will take a look...

Use a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum.  When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."

In the bin (top-left), right-click the clip and choose image.png

Or use the ROTATION effect from the effects list.

Should have mentioned this initially, as it's likely what you want - more than simple rotation...

Right-click on the file in the bin and then on Change Clip Aspect Ratio.  Expand the choices, for many options...

For more help, share a sample file.

If it's small enough it can be attached here or in a personal message.   Otherwise, the server route is best.

Unless the image is zoomed (some of it will be lost), it won't fill the space.  An example of a ZOOM to the '6', then export at the YouTube 1:2 preset.

It's still unclear exactly how you want the 9:16 to display.  Share the original, and an example (perhaps another image) of what the result should be.

Here's how...

Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum.  When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."

Ciao Borate,

we are close to... really it doesn't matter the original file, I have a lot of clips filmed in 16:9, and I need to convert them in 9:16 for social networks. I mean I think do you know reels for example. You see them by your phone in vertical, and the video fill al the space in you screen, this is the result I want. And yes, of course in this way I cut the left and the right part of the original clips, is it clearer now?

Thank a lot and all the best

It seems like the last suggestion will do the job...at the expense of some content.

Use ZOOM and POSITION effects to get the desired result, as with the "6" above.

You can also try the CROP TO ASPECT RATIO choice, and choose 9:16...  image.png 

Or test the CROP & ZOOM choice from the export screen...  image.png

Experimentation should get you what you want.

Not certain what you're asking.

But when editing, before dropping a clip to the timeline, set the aspect ratio.  Right-click the bin clip, Change Clip Aspect Ratio and make your choice...

Then drop the clip onto the timeline and compose text to fit.  For example, here's a letterbox 4:5 A/R with a text line, which can be positioned anywhere in the frame.
