Hi.
I downscaled a comp from 1280x720 to 720x405, but when i added a filter to a video source to scale it back to a height of 720px it told me the video was already at 100% scale.
how do I check I did not add a rogue 0 or something to my new custom video mode without going into the Video Mode > Add menu?
or maybe the filter menu 100% is based on the current size of the video WITHIN the comp?
I’d appreciate any help clearing these doubts. Is non-urgent, so don’t worry, and thanks for your time!
If you want your video to be a resolution of 720x405, then you need to enter a custom Video Mode. If you don’t enter a name, the video mode will not be saved.
I don’t 100% understand your question, but if you look at the menu item Settings->Video Mode you will see a dot next to the video mode you are using, like “HD 1080p 25fps”. Does this answer your query?
To check your actual project Video Mode (is that what you mean by “Composition setting”? ), another way is to select the timeline Output and go to the Properties panel.
Thank you, Musica box! that is exactly what i was looking for.
for people wondering abut “composition settings”. composition is the industry standard way to refer to your “canvas size” or i guess in (shotcut “video mode”) that is independent of your your output resolution which is decided thru your Encoding settings. it is also independent of your media source sizes.
While the exact words of “composition settings” are not in this post, the Video Mode documentation link in my original response provided the necessary information.
