GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 615569
Project settings resolution overrides that of render settings
Last modified: 2010-05-17 18:54:22 UTC
It seems to me that the "Project Settings" exist to define the aspect ratio of the "Preview Window" and to inherit defaults for the "Render Settings". But in reality the "Project Settings" also define the resolution of the rendered video and the "Render Settings" define the actual resolution of the video file, giving you windowboxing all round your video If settings that exist in project settings differ from those in the "Render Settings" then those set in "Render Settings" should override any settings set in "Project Settings" Steps to Reproduce - Grab a small 10 second video file set the resolution to in the Project settings to something smaller than that of the Render Settings you'll end up with windowboxing surrounding your video.

The problem seems to be that the smartvideoscale used in the filesource forces the output of the composition to be of the format specified by the project settings, instead of the render settings. So if you have a 4:3 source with a 16:9 project settings and a 4:3 render settings, you end up with: source(4:3) => smartvideoscale(16:9) => 4:3 with black borders on the side => smartvideoscale(4:3) => previous (4:3 with borders on side) with borders on top/bottom
