Set the Project’s Aspect Ratio
Before you start working on your project, you should set your
movie’s aspect ratio. The default aspect ratio is 4:3. If you are viewing
your movie on a widescreen TV you may change the aspect ratio to
16:9, provided that the media clips you have are also in widescreen
format. To modify the aspect ratio for a clip, see Adjust a Video Clip’s
Aspect Ratio on p.93.
To set the aspect ratio for your movie, click Edit > Aspect Ratio > 4:3
or 16:9. The preview window will change according to the aspect
ratio you have chosen.
Note: It is important that you set the aspect ratio of your movie before
you start adding clips to the timeline/storyboard. You can not change
the aspect ratio of your project once your started editing clips.
