Video Mode

Introduction Video Mode is the project resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, and color space. It is important to set this as you desire at the beginning of your project. If you try to change it later Shotcut will try to retain the timing of edits, but some users have reported problems, and it is risky. Also, at this time Shotcut will not automatically adjust anything for you related to size and positioning of elements like text and picture-in-picture when changing resolution. You can think of…

Thanks for the answer, according to your tutorials above I didn’t get the desire proportion.
every time I try to change the resolution to 2560x1080 21:9 I get black on the sides screen.
My footage is 2560x1080 16:9 can’t get the result I wish for.
Thanks

Step 1 is to create a custom video mode to suit your needs. Which @shotcut linked the documentation in his reply to you.

Yes, you still have this issue to deal with.

There are 2 options here.

• To crop the video, thus losing top and bottom.
  Filter to use is Crop:Source, check the Center tick box.
  

• To distort the video. Stretching the video to fit.
  Filter to use is Size, Position & Rotate. Click Distort, then Pos 0,0 and Size is 2560x1080.
  

  

Those are the two filters that will make it possible to transform your video to the specified video mode you mentioned.

Anamorphic lenses are made for these things, They are usually expensive, I have one that’s around 760$ but I didn’t use it from when I bought it, I think I will be selling it for 600$ in India or gift it to my friend when he buys a camera.
You can buy one to use it with your camera.

Here is a very good video on aspect ratios, I usually follow it for my work:-

When you’re starting out with a video that originally had a 16:9 aspect ratio, it’s natural to have to crop some from the top and bottom to fit the new ratio of 21:9
