Why does this happen? Aspect issue

Michael-Colondam wrote on 11/3/2020, 1:30 AM

The video and images does not fill the full frame and Ive tried using pan/crop, adjusting project properties, and unchecking maintain aspect ratio. Im not sure what I have to do to have all media files to properly adjust and resize to the resolution i want.

How do I fix this?

Ive also noticed that when i drag the media in the timeline, it will automatically fill the whole screen, as if it had fixed the problem and became the size i wanted it to, but the moment i let go of the clip, it goes back to the size in the picture.

Looks to me that you used or PIP track or Parent Track Motion. Please show screenshot of your whole screen (no need to take a picture, just use the Print Scrn key on your keyboard).

Im not exactly using the picture-in-picture effect, but rather laying the videos on top of the image

@Michael-Colondam It looks as if you've duplicated the PIP track several times.

Click the little diamond on the track headers which should open a little box stating 'Picture In Picture'. Right-click on that and click on 'Open Video Track FX...', then remove the effect (see below).

@3POINT is saying you are putting stuff on the dedicated PIP track, which is a feature of Movie Studio. Don't use that track if you don't want it cropped.

Also, I'm sure you know that stills will not fill the frame if the picture rectangle and the display aspect are not the same shape.

I agree with Jack that it looks that you duplicated the PIP FX track several times because all tracks have a greyed FX icon with means that a Track FX is applied. The PIP track has standard this PIP FX applied and causes a lot confusion by unexperienced users as we regularly see here. How to remove the PIP FX is also shown by Jack, only you should not click the diamonds in the Track header but the greyed FX icon.

For clarity, you can do either. 😉

Yeh, but that is a left and a right mouseclick, instead of just one left mouseclick to get there.

@3POINT Agreed. About a 1 second difference.

Let's not argue over 1 second, eh? 🙂
