Is there any particular reason why you're rendering video that can only be viewed on a particular type of monitor that very few people have?

Yes, for making standard movies at 2.35 and 2.40:1 aspects. To do in Vegas, one must pan/crop EACH AND EVERY clip on the time line. Too much of a PITA. Wish output crop feature was an option without the resizing part. I have to render big, then render the render cropped.

PS YOUTUBE is finally embracing these aspect ratios without forcing 16x9. This may be another reason people are wanting to do it.

"Standard movies" are made by shooting them the "standard way"; 2.40:1 flat, like this:

or 2.37:1 scope, for example:


After importing it in Vegas, you select all clips, rightclick the selection, go to properties and change pixel aspect ratio to 2. Like this:

This pan/crop, render/re-render nonsense is nonsense.

There are other ways to shoot things. For example, if one it planning to end in 2.40:1 aspect, one can shoot in camera's native 16x9 and then reframe up and down in post, on purpose. The days of stuck doing things one way are gone.

I'll try SELECT ALL CLIPS and change, but pretty sure I tried that in the past and it failed with horrible results, keeping in mind I meticulously change pan/crop on some clips for specific reasons.

Otherwise, you may have solved this nightmare in Vegas that doesn't exist outside of it.

"Fix it in post" workflow? Good luck with that!

Make sure you do that in "Project Media" tab.

PS a 21:9 monitor IS 2.35:1 aspect. So someone making a 16x9 with black bars will end up with 16x9 in the middle of their 21:9 :( :(

What? intentionally shooting the wrong aspect ratio just to be able to mess with it in Post? And get paid for doing it?

I don't believe that. :)

And they should shoot with teal and orange lights to stop with that post action. And what's with all the audio replaced?? Just get it on set! They're so lazy :D

You got me, if it ain't T&O it ain't YouTube ready. Can't pass their QC. Or Netflix's. :)

Also, there's no Set design, DOP, Makeup or Lighting on set. Not needed, all that is done in Post now. Don't even have to put lens on camera anymore. Look:

Well, I only replace audio if everything's ok with it: I put clipped audio instead so the mixers can utilize the latest declipping algorithms, it's so cool what we can do today. And keeps them bussy all the time, gotta spend 200 mil somehow... 😂
