Re: Beamer presentation PDF resolution [RESOLVED]
Thank you also very much for this RTFM!!! After 10 years of being irritated that the Beamer presentations of mine leave a black frame in full screen, I now finally found that aspectratio=1610 removes it. Tested it with Skim, Acrobat and Preview (and on Zoom) and looks great. Need to look at it with a beamer, but nowadays we do our CPD with Zoom so I don't have (need) ready access to a beamer anymore. On my iPad Mini 5 with sidecar the standard (43?) looks best so I will need to try different ratios on the beamer when we go back to F2F. Fortunately with Makefile or a for loop it's rather easy to produce a PDF in each supported aspect ration and then try every one on the beamer and use the one that looks best. This is great stuff! greetings, el On 2020-06-17 23:31 , Rich Shepard wrote: [...] > The beamer output is now in 16:9 aspect ratio, and the softwar I use > to display the PDF for the recorded video tutorials ('impressive') is > scaled to open in a 860x540 dpi window, half the final resolution.

Rich, glad to know it worked. I've found it a while ago as a stackexchange question (here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14336/latex-beamer-presentation-package-169-aspect-ratio ), but it seems is in the beamer user guide too: http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf in paragraph 8.3 In LyX i think there is lyx/beamer guide, not the complete beamer manual.

Giovanni, That explains it. I'm moving my business marketing/prospecting to use video tutorials on a YouTube business channel so I need to upload them as 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution files. The beamer output is now in 16:9 aspect ratio, and the softwar I use to display the PDF for the recorded video tutorials ('impressive') is scaled to open in a 860x540 dpi window, half the final resolution. I use ffmpeg to scale it up and it all works fine. Thanks for adding to my LyX/LaTeX/Beamer knowledge, Best regards, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

I searched the Beamer manual (in LyX) for 'aspectratio' and it found nothing. Thanks for your help.

How can I set the PDF output to a 16:9 ratio using either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution? I found the tool, now I need to learn the proper command line. Turns out that ffmpeg, the commplete video/audio toolbox can change ratios and, I presume, resolutions. So, off I go to figure out ffmpeg.

Beamer presentation PDF resolution
I've used LyX (and LaTeX before this) for a very long time to prepare the slides (visuals) for presentations. They're always produced in a 4:3 resolution ratio and that's how both xpdf and mupdf display them. This works fine for in-person presentations projected on a screen by an lcd projector. However, videos for uploading to YouTube need to be in a 16:9 wide screen ratio. How can I set the PDF output to a 16:9 ratio using either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution?
