Clips resize during transitions and don't respect their aspect ratio

[Jonathan Thomas]

Hi,

I have clips with different video size and during a transition one of the clips will be resized which is not what I want in any case! ;)

So, generally it would be nice to specify if a clip should be automatically resized to project video size or not.

greetings

This also happens by just overlapping video clips... if they don't match the size of the video project (i.e. project type), it distorts the video to fill the screen.

It also happens with images. During transitions, aspect ratio is changed ("stretch to fit") and just after transition, aspect ratio goes back to original.

This also happens when using the animation effect. If you have a photo, for instance, that doesn't fit the aspect ratio of the screen, and try to use the "zoom in" effect, it will stretch your photo to fill the full screen.

The workaround for this is to expand the photo to the full frame size with a graphics editor, adding background-colored sides to the photo.

This doesn't seem a problem now using 1.4.3 & MLT 0.8.2.
