Enabling Aspect Ratio Display in the Player

When you work with clips that have a resolution that does not use square pixels, such as NTSC or PAL, you can adjust the display so that it appears with the correct aspect ratio. By default, the adjusted image is sent to the video preview device. You can switch the adjusted display from the video preview device to the Player.

To enable the aspect ratio display in the Player:

1. Click the Timeline tab.

2. In the View Area menu bar, select Options.

3. Select Show Viewing Settings.

4. Enable the Use Ratio button.

   Note: The Use Ratio button is only active if you are viewing a clip with a resolution that does not use square pixels.

   The original aspect ratio of the clip is applied to the clip.
