That project file is configured to use the Crop filter to remove 140 lines from the top and bottom of the video without changing anything else. It can be downloaded from this OneDrive folder. Next, open up VDub2 and use File > Load Project to load the 1920x1080 to 1920x800.vdproject. To do this, you'd edit the video normally in PD and simply produce to 1920x1080. Since it looks like proper conversion needs to take place outside of PD, I've tried out another approach using VirtualDub2. This is excellent, tomasc! Thank you very much for spelling out the details See the screenshot for the mediainfo on a produced anamorphic and a produced true 21:9 aspect ratio video. The other boxes can be filled in like bitrate, frame rate, etc, and the boxes in other tabs can be filled in if desired I find it not necessary as the parameters pretty much defaults to what you already have for this test. Convert to start conversion to produce an anamorphic video to display 2592 x 1080 from the 1920 x 1080 video.Ī 1920 x 800 AR 2.4 video can be produced by filling in the Video tab with 1920 x 800 AR 2.4. I used the portable version but any on that page should work.įor the 1920 x 800/24p video posted earlier in the PD forums I choose convert to MPEG-4, Preset: MPEG-4 1080p. There are ones with a gui for windows that are easier to use. Edit and produce the video at the proper horizontal pixel setting. Set Clip Attributes/Set Aspect Ratio/Detect & Suggest/See Not4:3, 16:9, or 9:16/Stretch clip to 16:9 aspect ratio/OKĢ. The easiest way I have found to do the right preparation on the video on the PD17 timeline.ġ. Ultra widescreen videos can be edited in PowerDirector and an anamorphic flag can be set and/or be re-encoded in FFmpeg to be a true 21:9 aspect ratio. Will post this procedure later after I get off work. ***While looking at the thread for a different post found that true 21:9 videos can be created using FFmpeg after first making a change in PD17.

Afterward Use the free HD Video converter at the default video settings and change the Aspect ratio to 47:20. Nothing special need to be done in PD17 to process anamorphic video. The videos work great in VLC and YouTube. The only thing changed is that an anormorphic flag is processed in the video. The processed video is the same size, same duration, same bit rate, same resolution, same framerate, same format setting, etc. Most of that time is used to reprocess the audio. This utility is fast and took 55 seconds to process a 10 min. My first experiment is to use HD Video Converter. The videos can be edited, produced and an anamorphic flag set or re-encoded to a true 21:9 video using the right utility. Anamorphic lenses are sold today for both cameras and cell phones to put videos on a 16:9 sensor.
