VideoStudio :: How To Change Aspect Attribute For Given Clip
Jan 1, 2011
In transferring my old home movies from previously captured .AVI files (from tape to raw .AVI) to DVDs over my Christmas vacation, I have finally come to the point in my video tape timeline where I made the switch to 16:9. It's on my first video from 2002 and unfortunately I flipped the 'widescreen' switch on my camcorder mid-tape on that 2002 Mini-DV tape. So on this .AVI file I have mixed aspect ratios. When I pull that .AVI file into X3, the attribute is set to 4:3, so the 2nd half this file is out of whack.
What I've done is split the .AVI by scenes so I could work with them separately. I've created a DVD compliant video file from all the 4:3 scenes and now I need to work with the 16:9 scenes, but they still carry the 4:3 attribute so X3 displays them incorrectly. I don't see a way to change the attribute of these clips.
how to go about changing the attribute from 4:3 to 16:9 for video that was shot in 16:9?

How does one change the thumbnail for a video clip? By default, VS Pro X3 seems to use the first frame of the clip. I would like to choose the frame. Is that possible in VS?

I have put together a video that was mostly filled with 1280x720 clips. However, there is one clip that I mistakenly filmed in 640x424 after I had played with some camera settings. The 640x424 clip is only a few seconds long, but I really need it for my video. Is there any way I can change the dimensions for it to match the widescreen clips of the rest of my video?

creating a block with attributes. I did manage to get my block set up and inserted in a dwg, but I am unable to change the "value" of any attribute. Unless I click on the "..." button next to the value field.

What I really want to do is on our fire alarm blocks we have 3 different attributes one for the address, the candela and one for misc info. I want to make an attribute that takes the number from the candela (15,30,75or 110) and change a different attribute to a value depending on which candela we use (such as 15=.078, 30=.113, 75=.195 or 110=.259). But I don't want the .078,.113,.195,.259 to print out on paper, I want to export block information excel file so I can add up all values.

I am currently using a trial version of VS X4 (testing if suitable for our needs) and I am using an instant project that I downloaded in the extras. It was one large picture and then 4 pictures scrolling on the left hand side. I modified it so that I had a background on the main video track, the one large picture a mp4 video captured with Camtasia Studio 7, and three pictures scrolling on the left hand side.
I want to have a 4:3 aspect ratio, as these would be going on a website and need to match previous tutorial videos. The video I put in the overlay track is captured at 1024 x 768 and I have tried a variety of sizes of the back ground, (matching aspect ratio and not) and I cannot seem to find or create a suitable template to create a good quality (I.e. can still read the menus in the window of the screen capture mp4) video. I don't much care what the output type is, as long as it is supported by Camtasia Studio 7 since I render there to create a HTML script, to be used on the website.

When editing DV from my old mini dv camcorder, how can I get the final edit to fill the screen without the black side bars after puting on to a dvd and playing back on a 1080x1920 tv. does VS pro x4 have a setting to eliminate the black bars?

I am using VS Pro X3.
I have a .mov file in 16:9 ratio. I need to add a picture to the front of the movie so that this image appears in the player I am using when the movie is loaded and ready to play.
EVERY time I try to create the new movie, the movie aspect is reformatted and I get black bars across the top and bottom of my movie. I have been everything I can find in the program - using custom formats and defining the exact dimensions. I must have tried this over a dozen times looking for something stupid that I am missing but I can not figure this out.
The original file is quicktime (.mov) 960X540. If I play this file in my player (its a flash player) it plays clean in the 16:9 aspect with no black borders. I do not care whether the file is .mov, mp4, or flv. The player supports all of these (and a few more common types). This will be web hosted so I am concerned about file size. Step one for me is to get VS to create a movie file in the appropriate aspect ratio without black bars!!!

I have added some photos using the option "keep aspect ratio". However, when the project has been rendered to 16:9 it has stretched the photos. How can I force X2 to "keep aspect ratio"?

I'm having a problem with VideoStudio where it is not correctly detecting the aspect ratio of the video.
The video was created by HandBrake by converting a DVD to an MP4. VLC Player correctly detects the aspect ratio and displays it fine. VS doesn't.
In VS the video is coming up as 4:3 and so when played, it has black pillars on either side.
How can I get VS to interpret the aspect ratio correctly, or even override it?
The video files details (MediaInfo):
General
Complete name : C:TempHandbrakeVts 01 1-2.mp4
Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Base Media / Version 2
Codec ID : mp42
File size : 230 MiB

Overall bit rate mode : Variable

I have VideoStudio ProX4 Ultimate.Purchased before Christmas but this first time I have used it. I created my project,changed the ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. Burned the project and when I played it I could tell it was not in the correct aspect ratio. I went back, opened the project, checked the ratio aspect and it was set at 4:3. I then opened settings and it was at 720x480 29.97 which should be right. After burning I found it was still in wrong ratio. I opened the created file in MediaInfo and it showed it was 16:9 720x480 29.97. Am I missing something? How do I change it to 4:3. I have version 14.2.0.23.

I just joined and I'm a complete newbie at Photoshop, though I'm fairly interested in it.
I was wondering if it's possible to change the aspect ratio of a 5:4 (1600x1200) image to 16:10 (1680x1050) without stretching the image or contorting it.
I've tried resizing, but all that does is screw up the image and/or make it look all crappy.

New digi-camcorder records at 16:9 (I have a w/s TV. I need to incorporate many stills. All stills edited using p'shop 6. With TV aspect ratio set to 16:9 movies are great, stills are ssttrreettcchheedd. I need to change the aspect ratio of my stills by a constant factor so they are 'squeezed' when viewed at 4:3 (ie on my computer monitor) but expanded to the correct ratio on the TV.
I use a digi still camera for pics (and no, it doesn't have a 16:9 option and no, I can't afford one that does).

In the develop module in LR4, I have been trying to change the aspect ratio of an image before cropping to 7x5, but the crop tool keeps on reverting back to 5x7. Obviously, I want to crop it to the same paper size but the orientation is just as important.

Using X5, I've been assembling video clips taken on holidays into small, specific topic mini-movies (say about 2-3 mins long each) for friends and family, and I've noticed an odd effect of rendering using the MPEG optimiser option when creating a video file from a set of project parts.
All the source clips have a 16.9 aspect ratio. The project file has full, trimmed, and cut clips, plus text, voice over and music.
Put together in a project file, the various clips fill the small or large display windows, as one would expect. Trimmed and cut clips made not difference to the display when playing. But the rendered result of that project file shows irregular "jumping" of the image aspect ratio: sometimes, it's the full display window, at other times it looks like the image is full width but there are black bars top and bottom, and still other times the reverse - bars on the side with a full vertical image.
Those latter characteristics are symptomatic of a 4:3 image converted to 16:9, and I promptly checked to make sure the sources were all 16:9, and they were. The jumping seems to happen within rendered clips and when a clip transitions from one to the next, but not every time. When it happens within a clip, the display 'flickers" as the aspect ratio changes and its that flicker that originally drew my attention to what seemed to be happening.

I use VideoStudio Pro x3 and am having a problem with aspect ratio switching on DVD playback. All the video source files in the project have the same properties:
Frame Width: 704
Frame Height: 576
The project properties are set to 16:9 and I have followed the Guide on Widescreen overlays. The preview window always displays in widescreen no problem. After creating a DVD via the DVD creator, when I playback the movie it switches between 4:3 and 16:9 sometimes within the same clip but always at the same places.

I'm having a difficult time dialing in how to adjust the aspect ratio of my video. I'm sure this is easy to do, but I'm
Some of the clips I'm inserting are wide, and some are standard TV size. I did the "Fit to Sceen Size in Overlay Track" but how do I change what that final sceen size is? I'd like to be able to either make my project wide and have the TV size clips automatically stretch to fit, or make it TV size (is that 720x480?) and have the wide clips squish to fit.
Not sure which way I'm going to go yet, but is there a way to make the clips automatically do either in the window/final product? As some of the clips are playing, I'd like to slowly zoom-in. Is that possible to do?

Aspect ratio I am putting togeter a slideshow of photos I want it to be widescreen!
I have gone into settings/preferences/edit in the section for image I have "Keep Aspect Ratio"
After selecting some images dropping them into the timeline if I put them in the main track (top) the Aspect Ratio is keeped Now if I put the same images in any overlay track the Aspect Ratio is changed! Is there a way to have the Aspect Ratio keep when putting images in a overlay track or do I have to manually set Keep Aspect Ratio?

My video properties are 16:9, but VSX4 isn't letting me change them. And there's no splash screen to start with.
How do I change it? I just spent weeks going through all of my photos and putting the 4:3 on backgrounds to make them all 16:9. My video is already at 16:9.

My Photoshop Elements 11 has worked perfectly until today. When I open a blank file and go to change the aspect ratio, the box quickly "greys out" and doesn't allow me to edit the sizes.

To get a full body shot, I have to turn my camera on its side. I start with a 16:9 aspect ratio. After the shots are loaded into the program, the figures are always a little distorted to the short side. This is always after I rotate the video 90 degrees so that it is upright. Is there a solution to this problem?
Also, sometimes when I use a still image in the video track and a video in the pip track, the still image won't fill up the entire screen. This situation also occurs when a video has been rotated 90 degrees.

difference between DVD 4:3 and DVD 16:9. How should I be saving my file if it is to be shown on 18" tv screens ? Or does how I save it depend on something to do with the photographs I have in the slideshow? Will saving it as 4:3 reduce the overall file size ? Or is there another way to reduce the file size so I can fit more onto a DVD? At the moment I can only fit just over an hour onto a 4.7gb DVD. video editing dummy that I am.

I independently verified the M2TS files using MediaInfo.exe to identify that they were 16:9 ratio. But Video Studio Pro X5 seems to "misread them" at import as 4:3 ratio.(both as I hover cursor over file before importing into VSx5 and after import) The result is that the loaded file in VSx5 has black vertical framing added on the left and right of the video image in the preview window and any derivitive video files. Additional Info: the M2TS files prior to loading into VSX5 play in Windows Media Player at 16:9 aspect ratio with no black vertical framing.
There don't appear to be any patches yet for VSX5. Since obviously the VSX5 file attributes themselves are whats in question here, I've put both the output of MedioInfo.exe and VSX5 for the M2TS files here:
MediaInfo Output:
General
ID : 0 (0x0)
Complete name : H:VideoEditing2012_5_20_0_8_56.M2TS
Format : MPEG-TS

I have used X4 for about two years and X6 for the past couple of months. I cannot figure out how the create more rendering options under Share -> Create Video File. For example, if I want to use the MPEG codec but a custom resolution. Often custom is greyed out and not selectable. In free software such as ffmpeg or Virtual Dub I can create video as any resolution, aspect ratio, or codec. VS options seem to be very limited to these prepackaged choices. For example, some people have described moving a .DLL to the Coral folder to get custom codecs under the Create Video -> custom option. I'd rather not have to always render in VS and then recodec in another software.
My biggest challenge is the new Instagram format. It is basically 640x640 webm format. But I can import MPEG h264 without issue. My goal is to setup a 1:1 640x640 profile so I don't always have to game and stretch titles to display properly in the final version.

I have VS X2 and I want to put some photos into a video I'm making.
I have video from a Panasonic PV-GS200 which gives a 24 bit, 720x480 AVI file. I have the Project Properties set to:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps
Lower Field First
DV Video Encoder -- type 1
And the Preferences for Image set to "Keep aspect ratio".
I have a small handbook from Ulead (from 2004 when I purchased video gear) which says that the pixel aspect ratio of DV is rectangular whereas the pixels in my photos are square. And this difference will cause photographs to become distorted as those square photo pixels are stretched to become rectangular pixels in the video.
My question is: do I need to crop my photograph correctly before I insert it into the timeline in VS X2, or is there an option/feature within VS which will handle this transformation for me?
Here is how the book says to crop photos:
for 720x480 NTSC-DV crop photos to 720x576
for 720x576 PAL-DV crop photos to 704x576
It further recommended using PNG file type for photos and to keep the image dimension (resolution) low, e.g. 720x576, in order to avoid artifacts in the video - only doubling the above crop dimensions if a pan & zoom filter are going to be employed. An image dimension of 720x576 seems really low to me but I am not used to working with video.

Using VS2, 16:9 aspect ratio (I believe all the clips are 16:9 720 X 480), with non-square rendering checked,
Looks fine on the computer.
When I burn a DVD the image doesn't fill the TV screen- black border on all four sides. However, one title did extend past the image on the left side.
Sort of like this:
----------------------------------
- --------------------- -
- - - -
- - - -
- one title sticks left- -
- --------------------- -
----------------------------------
Why I have bars on all sides, not just on two of them?
