Sony Vegas Uncheck Maintain aspect ratio

Postby dvstudio3 » Thu Aug 07, 2008 3:51 am

Hi, I recently finished my clip although i have noticed that there is a ton of black bars, some on the sides, top and bottom etc due to mixing various frame size and aspect ratio videos i.e. some are 720x576, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and other are like 512x400 aspect ratio with SQUARE 1:1 and others are 320x240 4:3 etc etc etc etc. Theres too many different ones i cant list them all..... but you get what i mean.

Well i found out you can remove the aspect ratio thing by right clicking on a clip and uncheck "maintain aspect ratio" although i have like billions of clips on different time lines etc and it will take me forever to uncheck them all seperatly. So my question is, is there a way that i can remove the maintain aspect ratio so it can fill up the entire screen in a quick and easy way? Or do i just have to slect every individual piece of video i edited and uncheck them?

Thanks

don't stretch your aspect ratios, that will only go to make the anal people (like me) complain about it when they watch your video..

1. you should crop your videos all to the same resolution before editing.

you could probably still do this to all your clips by running them through avisynth+virtualdub with proper cropping and resizing filters and just replace the files in Vegas with the new files (switch them out) and not lose any editing.

2. you also should make sure your project and export settings match the video source you are using as source, also be sure to pick square pixels for the pixel aspect ratio in the project settings, and you should have no problem with borders as long as everything matches.
