Bernd <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CONFIRMED |NEEDSINFO Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO --- Comment #4 from Bernd <[email protected]> --- I did some testing and here is my results (using 26.04.3 Flatpak on Pop!_OS, project is 1920x1080, clip is 1440x1080): * It doesn't matter whether you use the built-in (Transform) effect or add one specifically to the clip * It also doesn't matter if you use the (built-in) Transform effect on the clip in the bin or on the clip in the timeline/sequence * By default, Kdenlive brings in the image/clip matching the project's dimensions and pads the clip with alpha around the edges: top/bottom, if the clip's width is greater; left/right, if the width is smaller. It does that to maintain the clip's aspect ratio * If "Distort" is enabled in the Transform effect, Kdenlive stretches the clip to match the project's dimension in all directions. This changes the aspect ratio of the clip in the monitors. * When using the handles to scale the clip (Transform effect, and Edit Mode enabled) the following needs to be kept in mind: * Handles on the edges size the clip within the constraints of the project dimensions. This means that when using the top or bottom edge, the clip's size increases until its vertical edges hit the project's vertical boundaries. After that it just moves up or down because Kdenlive adjusts the X and Y coordinates when sizing a clip. Likewise, when using the left or right edge the horizontal project boundaries are restricting the sizing. * Handles on the corners combine the edge handles in their movement * Holding Shift while using the corner handles is locking the diagonally opposite corner position, is keeping the aspect ratio of the editing frame (the red box), and the center of the scaling moves as the editing frame shrinks or expands * Holding Ctrl while using the corner handles is locking the center of the editing frame, is NOT keeping the aspect ratio of the editing frame, and is moving the other corners simultanuously * If "Distort" is enabled, the clip will always fill the editing frame * Using the alignment icons you can scale the clip to fit the height or width. You may need to align to the edge and center it when doing so. I am changing this bug report now to WAITINGFORINFO to give you time to test it and whether you can work with that. Please come back here and report your experience. The way Kdenlive handles sizing and positioning of clips may not be as intuitive as other apps but it does work and allows you to do all sorts of things. This is due to the way MLT expects certain things to be handled (MLT being the framework that does all the effect application and compositing in the background). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
