Description Gabriel Gazzán 2025-03-28 00:31:20 UTC 
I've got a couple of suggestions for the "Aspect Ratio" parameter in Clip Properties:

- It'd be clearer if it was called "Pixel Aspect Ratio" instead. 
So to not be confused by users with "Image Aspect Ratio" (16:9, 4:3, etc.)

- It'd also be useful to have a drop-down menu there, showing the most common used ratios, and maintaining the option to enter a Custom PAR if desired.

Here's an example of what such a menu would contain:

name in menu		ratio	decimal
-----------------------------------------
Square pixels		1:1	(1.0)
D1/DV NTSC 4:3		10:11	(0.9091)
D1/DV NTSC 16:9		40:33	(1.2121)
D1/DV PAL 4:3		11:9	(1.0940)
D1/DV PAL 16:9		16:11	(1.4587)
Anamorphic 2:1		2:1	(2.0)
HD Anamorphic 1080	4:3	(1.333)
DVCPRO HD		3:2	(1.5)
Custom

Thanks for listening!

struggling  with tabs in that table `:-)
(preview doesn't show it as it finally looks when posted)

let's give it another try:

name in menu		ratio	decimal
----------------------------------------------
Square pixels			1:1		(1.0)
D1/DV NTSC 4:3		10:11	(0.9091)
D1/DV NTSC 16:9		40:33	(1.2121)
D1/DV PAL 4:3		11:9		(1.0940)
D1/DV PAL 16:9		16:11	(1.4587)
Anamorphic 2:1		2:1		(2.0)
HD Anamorphic 1080	4:3		(1.333)
DVCPRO HD			3:2		(1.5)
