CyberLink PowerDirector Help
Some of the video clips in the timeline may not have the same aspect ratio as the aspect ratio you set for your project/video production. You can adjust the aspect ratio for these clips, so that all the media in your video production has the same aspect ratio.
Note: you can also crop or apply zooms on video clips to make them fit the current video project aspect ratio. |
To adjust a video clip's aspect ratio, do this:
1.Right-click on a video clip in the timeline, select Set Clip Attributes, and then Set Aspect Ratio.
2.In the Clip Aspect Ratio Settings window, do one of the following:
•if you want your project to use the original aspect ratio of the selected video clip, select Detect aspect ratio automatically. If the clip's aspect ratio is different from the project's, then CyberLink PowerDirector will letterbox the video clip to fill in the rest of the frame.
•if the aspect ratio of the selected clip is 4:3, then select The aspect ratio of the video is 4:3 option. If the project aspect ratio is not 4:3, select the stretch method to convert the 4:3 clip to the project's aspect ratio.
•if the aspect ratio of the selected clip is 16:9, then select The aspect ratio of the video is 16:9 option. If the project aspect ratio is not 16:9, select the stretch method to convert the 16:9 clip to the project's aspect ratio.
•if the aspect ratio of the selected clip is 9:16, then select The aspect ratio of the video is 9:16 option. If the project aspect ratio is not 9:16, select the stretch method to convert the 9:16 clip to the project's aspect ratio.
•if the aspect ratio of the selected clip is 1:1, then select The aspect ratio of the video is 1:1 option. If the project aspect ratio is not 1:1, select the stretch method to convert the 1:1 clip to the project's aspect ratio.
•if the selected clip has an aspect ratio other than 4:3, 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1, then select the Not 4:3, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 option. Next, select the stretch method to convert the video clip's aspect ratio to the project's aspect ratio.
•if you are not sure what the aspect ratio of the original video clip is, click the Detect and Suggest button. CyberLink PowerDirector will select one of the above options for you.
Note: for best results when changing a clip's aspect ratio, select the CLPV option. CLPV (CyberLink Pano Vision) is video stretching technology from CyberLink that produces minimal distortion in the center of the picture. |
3.Select the Apply to all video clips option if you want to apply the current setting to all the video clips on the same track.
4.Click OK to set your changes.
