exporting cropped video issues

RSL

I have made a video but I had to crop the footage to size it correctly on the screen as it was filmed in portrait. I used the 16.9 ratio which worked well but I need to export in 1080x1920 widescreen size. When I export the video looks like a thumbnail on the screen but the text I used is full screen albeit you cannot see the outer edges of each sentence. any ideas on how to get the cropped video up to full screen size. I have tried exporting in different screen ratios but to no avail

What Videopad version is being used?

Before the clips are placed on the timeline right-click in the preview window and change the Aspect Ratio to match the source clips - 9x16.

Then create text that fits within the image area. At export the text should then stay within that boundary, whatever the export resolution.

If this does not succeed, please share your project and someone will check it out. It's not difficult,

Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

If it contains sensitive material you can link it in a personal message (PM) to me, via the envelope above. Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it.

What's needed is the project itself, not the completed video. Just follow the instructions in the above link - FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT, then upload it, share it, and post the shared link here.

You have posted just the finished video. In order to better understand what you have done and how to get around your problem you need to send all the component files as well as a VPJ file.

You can do this by loading your project to VP and then selecting .. The option Save Portable Project As....

Select a folder to save to and all the necessary files will be saved to a dated folder within this. It is these files you need to post to your dropbox or 1drive etc. account. Someone will then be able to reconstruct your project and see what problem there is.

However I can see where you MAY have gone wrong...

I assume you have cropped your portrait clip to show the central area with a AR restraint of 16:9. Don't do that.. you end up with with this....... which is similar to your example.

Try this instead.....

Place the clip on the timeline
Click the FX and select the Zoom effect.
Set the AR restraint to 16:9
Adjust/Position the rectangle to outline the area of interest in the clip.

The image will now fill the 16:9 VP preview screen.....as shown here......

I assume this is what you were after? If so, you can now add your scrolling text...

Export the result a1920 x 1080 -1080P HD (You could also choose Custom and set the V/H parameters required)

This is the result of the above test exported in this way and viewed in VLC.......

Thank you for the detailed solution I will give it a go!

When composing text, keep it within the bounds of the image in the preview window.
