It is not the responsibility of the webvfx producer to care about that. It
only has the responsibility to indicate its pixel aspect ratio as 1.0,
which it does here:
https://github.com/mltframework/webvfx/blob/master/mlt/webvfx_producer.cpp#L107

It is the responsibility of the automatically added resize and rescale
filters to normalize the aspect ratio of the source to the mlt_profile.
However, there is also the frame property "aspect_ratio" that still needs
to be set, but it does not. When not set, the framework sets the frame's
default aspect_ratio to that of the profile. I think this is the problem.
Perhaps a change is needed in the framework to set the frame's aspect ratio
from the producer's meta. properties.

You are compiling webvfx yourself? If so, modify
mlt/webvfx_producer.cpp:getFrame(). Where you see:
mlt_properties_set_int(properties, "progressive", 1);
Add line:
mlt_properties_set_double(properties, "aspect_ratio", 1.0);

See if that fixes the problem.
