Can I change dimensions of a 640x424 clip to 1280x720?

Post by fifteenspatulas »

Hello! I have put together a video that was mostly filled with 1280x720 clips. However, there is one clip that I mistakenly filmed in 640x424 after I had played with some camera settings. The 640x424 clip is only a few seconds long, but I really need it for my video. Is there any way I can change the dimensions for it to match the widescreen clips of the rest of my video? I've been trying to see if there's a way to do this for quite some time and this is my last hope that someone on here will tell me there is a way to do it. Thank you for your help!

Hello Joanne,

When a clip is on the main video track, you can modify the aspect ratio after doing this:

1. Double-click on the clip on the timeline to open the Options Panel, if it is not already open.

2. You should see a Video tab and an Attribute tab in the Options Panel.

3. Select the Attribute tab.

4. Tick the Distort Clip option.

5. You can now adjust the handles that become available in the preview window. You can also right-click in the preview window and select a sizing option.

Bear in mind stretched to that size it'll be pretty badly pixelatted!
