Aspect ratio should match the video

I start new project and drag and drop the video to timeline. So Shotcut apply this video’s Resolution to the project. But why Shotcut don’t do the same for aspect ratio? I think Shotcut should do it. For now I should manually copy Resolution to Aspect ration.

It shouldn`t bcs sometimes you want to make vertical videos or horizontal ones I believe.

It already does this when the Video Mode is Automatic. Otherwise, it does not by design.

In Shotcut removing everything from the timeline including all tracks does not start a new project. At that point only File > Close or File > New > Project starts a new project. It goes like this:

  1. start Shotcut
  2. Video Mode > Automatic
  3. add something to Timeline (or Playlist), Video Mode is based on the first file added
  4. export automatically adapts
  5. File > New > Project or File > Close
  6. Video Mode returns to Automatic
  7. go to step 3

If you use Video Mode > Automatic, do not need the timeline, and only use the Source viewer, including export; then it acts like a media player or transcoder and step 5 is not necessary: Opening something else into Source replaces it and automatic(including export) adapts to it.
