Hi all
I have a 16:9 1920x1080 project and I inserted a video clip that is 4:3, 1440x1080. By default, the clip is stretched so it fits, and trying various setting in the Pan/Crop dialog, I can't get it to centre in the frame with its normal ratio.
How do I insert a 4:3 video in 16:9 project and not have it stretched?
Thanks!
Pan/Crop has a preset for 4x3 you can use.
I tried that first, but it only crops it, and leaves it stretched. I also tried setting Maintain Aspect Ratio to No and Stretch to Fill Frame to No, but no matter what it's stretched.
@Neel Try right-clicking in the Pan/Crop window and select 'Match Source Aspect'.
Yep, tried that too, still remained stretched.
I did a work-around by playing the video back in VLC, and recording the monitor in OBS in 16:9. Now I can crop the new video to 4:3.
Still odd how if I drop in a jpg that's 4x6, it centers on the 16:9, but not with a 4:3 video.

This has cropped up before. VMS assumes it's HDV with a PAR of 1.3333.
Right click on your video clip on the timeline. Select Properties and in the Media pane go to Pixel Aspect Ratio. If it says 1.3333 alter it to 1.0000 with the drop down.
Maybe VMS assumes correctly that it's a 16:9 HDV clip and @Neel assumes wrongly that's 1440x1080 must be 4:3 , Media info could tell more.

Yes, I also thought of that but from the comments it appears Neel is sure it's a 4:3 image.

Thank you Eric, this was it!
