SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new project (Open kdenlive)
2. To to Project > Project Settings
3. Edit a profile (preset) and copy it (To not modify the original)
4. Change the "Size" X and Y values to your desired values
5. Save and use that new profile

OBSERVED RESULT

Resolution of project is no different from the copied profile (preset)

EXPECTED RESULT

The X,Y video resolution I asked for

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

When you drag in a video to start your project Kdenlive offers to set the resolution to that of the media file and its frame rate. I tried copying that new profile (preset) and increasing the height of the resolution there. But trying to use my new copy of the preset with a taller video.


In the end I ran `ffmpeg -t 1 -s 1440x1366 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 59.941256 -i /dev/zero /tmp/test.mp4` copying that of my source video bit with a slightly taller Y value (1366 instead of the source's 1080) and dragged this resulting generated blank into Kdenlive so it would offer to set the project resolution for me from that temporary source instead of trying to convince the UI to change the resolution preset any further.
