LaRa Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I would like to know what settings need to be selected to have an output with the aspect ratios of the individual video clips preserved. For example, if I place a video clip of 4:3 format and another of 16:9 format in the timeline, I want the original aspect ratios of the individual video clips maintained in my output file.

Dangerfreak Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 That's possible - just set the output format to the desired aspect ratio: [see screenshot] (here it is 16:9 and clicking on the orange rectangle changes to 9:16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If the export A/R is 16:9, you will get this... 16x9.mp4 If it's 4x3, this... 4x3.mp4 Unless ZOOM is applied to the 4x3, there will be black bars because the images are of different sizes.

LaRa Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thanks Borate! This was really helpful. I have to choose "match content" in Aspect Ratio. Understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEC Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 This may be a silly question but how do you maintain the aspect ratio when importing a clip? I'm trying to do a 1:1 (square) video, but when I import a 16:9 clip it gets stretched or compressed on one side. Have I missed some setting duing import?

n1x1 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hello @HEC You can use the Aspect Ratio option to define it. The content you add will adjust to the aspect ratio you want\need. We advise to experiment with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEC Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Thanks, but how do I set the aspect ratio of the video itself? Or do 1 only determine that when I produce the output file? Or is there a way that I can have a 1:1 working frame on the preview panel so that I don't have to guess my way around for the eventual edges?

borate Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The A/R of bin clips can be changed prior to placing them on the timeline. Use a right-click... A/R of timeline clips can be changed via the effects menu... Each option has many choices. There are numerous resolution choices when exporting, that will affect the entire project...

HEC Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Hi Borate, I replied your other comment before seeing this one. I just tried using "Crop to Aspect Ratio" and it solved the problem of the black bars above and below the image, so many thanks for this. However, I have a question - is it possible to crop to an area which is not in the centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Crop any area. Drag the image in the preview window or use the sliders. ... Record_2023_06_22_18_08_21_622.mp4 Same for ZOOM... Record_2023_06_22_18_09_09_248.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEC Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think this gives you a better idea of what I mean: https://www.ergo-travel.com/TEMP/Screenshot 230623a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
