Created attachment 161325 [details] the 4 images described in the bug SUMMARY If you import a 720x576 image into a 720x576 project set at 720x576 and then render it at 720x576 your 720x576 images inside it actually squish to STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. File / New / SD/DVD Widescreen / 720x576 29.97 / OK 2. Right click / add clip or folder / add 720x576.png attached below 3. Drag to timeline 4. Ctrl + Enter 5. Render as any format (we'll use GIF here because mpeg-4 has some limitations while GIF inarguable has none) 6. Render to file 7. To eliminate any issues where mpv or anything else could be putting in bars we convert the frames to png with imagemagick: convert untitled.GIF out%03d.png OBSERVED RESULT Observe that out001.png is squished with black bars - the image having been reduced to 506 x 576. You actually need to take your 720x576 assets, stretch them out to 16:9 and then put them in which in this case is 1024x576. The squished result is called "squished.png" and the overstretched result to get the full-flush is called "properly-fit.png" EXPECTED RESULT 720x576 assets in a 720x576 project that's rendered at 720x576 should go in at 720x576 and render at 720x576 without having to compensate by preparing them by distorting them through elongation so that they render properly SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 23.08.0 KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is the distribution provided build on debian/trixie
woops I forgot to finish my sentence, it squishes to 506 x 576
I made the test as you described but I took a new project with PAL 720x576 25 (as 720x480 29.97 is NTSC) After rendering to MPEG4-ASP the image is not squeezed. Please try with the latest Kdenlive version 24.08.1 AppImage from the download page.

Sorry I don't know how to use this platform. Anyway. I tried with kdenlive-24.08.1-x86_64.AppImage and it now squishes to 675x576. I've included the output from selecting MP4-H264/AAC. This is different behavior than before but still incorrect. The image should either fit perfectly as it is the same resolution or be added in a way that maintains aspect ratio. The squishing of it is undesired behavior
