    Hello,

    I’m going crazy because I have a video (and only one) on my timeline that is cropped but I didn’t do it !

    I’ve tried many menu, re-import it many times, on different video lines, but only this one is cropped on this video line.

    Here is a screen as you can see, it’s cropped (on the left) but crop menu is clean on the right :

    Informations : footages are in 4K, project is 21:9 1080p.

    Here in 21:9… cropped but not wanted. I hope it’s clear.

    Track move (mouvement de piste) is clean too :

    Thank you for your help.

    Why do you need 21:9 aspect ratio for 1080 ? .. Wouldn’t you want 16:9 for 1080?
    Your 4K media seems to be 16:9 ?

    Hello,
    It’s just a choice for this video : 2560×1080

    Hi Stephen,

    So you have a 16:9 footage in a 21:9 project.
    A 16:9 picture does not fill up 21:9 canvas, as you see on your first image.
    You need to make it 21:9, for this the best way (I think) is cropping it to 21:9. That will fill the 21:9 canvas. ☺
    This is how it looks on the second image.
    So what’s the problem?

    Best regards

    The problem is that, as you can see it on the images, I don’t have the full image that I should have (on the right) but a cropped (zoomed) part (on the left).

    Sorry, I didn’t look it close enough. I see now.
    You say you tried to reimport this video many times.
    Did you completely remove this clip from the project also, or just deleted from the timeline?
    If you just deleted from the timeline, try to remove it from the project as well.
    (On “Project media” look for the video, select it then “delete” or right click it, then select “Remove from project” from the menu there).
    And then try to add it to the project again.
    Not sure if this will help, but who knows?

    Best regards

    Right click on the crop box and select “Match Output Aspect”?

    Reading through the thread again I’m wondering if you are not expecting the impossible.

    Your incoming image is 16:9. Your outgoing image is to be 21:9. They are different shapes. So as László commented either you show your full 16:9 image uncropped with black bars at the sides or you crop the 16:9 image at the top and bottom so it is the same shape as 21:9 and fills the area.

    Alternatively stretch out the 16:9 image to 21:9 so the entire image is included, it fills the screen, but it is distorted.

    Unless I’m missing something, with say C4K on the timeline, I’d select Pan/Crop, unlock aspect ratio, leave width at 4096, change height to 1757.94, then save this preset as My 21-9. Then use it on all C4K events.

    The presets for 16-9 and Academy etc are already there. Perhaps you already know this?
