Description Evert Vorster 2016-07-14 12:38:10 UTC

A user asked a question on how to get a project with a portrait layout. 
While this is not the usual thing to do, kdenlive is flexible enough to support such a thing. 
Unfortunately there is a small bug in the preview window that detracts a bit. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a project with width of 1080 and a height of 1920
2. Notice the preview window does not change to reflect the aspect ratio
3. Import clip. It now looks squashed horizontally. 
4. Rotate clip 90 degrees, as all footage is landscape by default.
5. Center and scale footage
6. Render
7. Output looks proper

Actual Results:  
The preview window does not reflect the aspect ratio of the project, but renders OK. 

Expected Results:  
The preview window should look like the output.

Small correction, the preview is _stretched_ horizontally, or squashed vertically.

Seems to work for me. Did you set the display ratio to 9:16 instead of 16:9 ?
Can you attach a screenshot of your project setting so I can see the profile settings (including display ratio), and also screenshow of the monitor displaying issue?

Btw, the project setting  in git master did not show the correct profile when using a custom profile, I just fixed it in git.

I missed the project aspect ratio. 

However, why did the output video not respect this setting?

Come to think of it, with pixel aspect ratio and actual pixels you should be able to calculate display aspect ratio. What is the point of setting this separately?
