Shotcut-190816 exporting any sized source to 1920x1080

[vansloneker]

Hi! I don’t know if this is a bug, a feature or an error by me. I have been using Shotcut to edit many videos and greatly appreciate the program!

Shotcut would always export videos in the resolution of the first video added to a new project.
It’s the first time I’ve been using the latest Shotcut-190816. I am using the Shotcut-190816.glibc2.14-x86_64.AppImage on Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE-64.

After working several hours on a few videos shot with a phone at 720x1280 and finally exporting them it turned out all videos were exported at 1920x1080.

I have been doing a few tests about this. It turned out that every input video file on every new project regardless of the original resolution was exported at 1920x1080 with Shotcut-190816.
Doing the same with Shotcut-190715 produced an output at the same resolution as the input.

What happened? As said it was the first time I used this particular version. I keep versions also as appimage and they worked just as they should be. The preset column of Shotcut-190816 shows nothing indicated as being selected.

I have managed to save my day and my many hours of hard work by editing the saved .mlt files and changing

<profile description="HD 1080p 25 fps" width="1920" height="1080" progressive="1" sample_aspect_num="1" sample_aspect_den="1" display_aspect_num="16" display_aspect_den="9" frame_rate_num="25" frame_rate_den="1" colorspace="709"/>

for

<profile description="automatic" width="720" height="1280" progressive="1" sample_aspect_num="1" sample_aspect_den="1" display_aspect_num="720" display_aspect_den="1280" frame_rate_num="19875600" frame_rate_den="661993" colorspace="709"/>

from a .mlt generated by Shotcut-190715 with the same input.

Hi and welcome!
What is your setting in “Video Mode”?
Every time you begin a new project you have to set the Video Mode in Settings.
If you want a special screen you can add a custom size. In your case 720x1280 and aspect ratio 720:1280.

There is an issue with 19.08.16 that was brought up in this thread.

Started Project with a 60FPS MP4, still got exported in 25 FPS after 2 attempts

I’m not sure what i am doing wrong, i’ve read problems for this i’ve looked into this problem myself hoping this could be fixed for me however no matter how it looks it still exports in 25 Frames. Despite starting a project with a short mp4 file recorded in 60fps it exported in 25 Frames after hours of editing hoping for the result. I try reload, open the file project added another MP4 File also running in 60 fps still gave me the same 25 fps result after waiting for another 20 minutes. AM i doi…

If your video mode is set to automatic, drop your first video in the source viewer. If you drag and drop the video from file manager on the playlist panel the video frame rate will be set to 25 FPS ( this might be a bug). Or use Ctrl+O to open the first file. That will open the file in the viewer and set the video mode and the frame rate same as original. The frame rate can be changed to match the original material’s frame rate when exporting. [image]

It’s been fixed for 19.09.

It is since the playlist changes in v19.08.16 and dropping into an empty project/playlist. This is fixed for the next version 19.09.

Thanks for the replies. The framerate indeed was also set at 25. I’ll skip 190816 from now on and wait for 19.09
