field will be used
Standard
Video standard of the edit.
Aspect ratio
Default aspect ratio to be used for the edit.
With HD video standards, the aspect ratio 16:9 is selected and cannot be modified in
Xedio CleanEdit. This does not prevent from using a media with a different aspect ratio in
the edit.
With SD video standards, you can choose the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9, and you
can modify this as long as the edit is empty.
The default value is specified in the Software parameters > General > General tab in Xedio
Manager.
Default conversion type
When a conversion is performed on the media, this setting allows the user to define a
preferred default from either letterbox or pillarbox/cropped (pan & scan).
•
The letterbox effect occurs when film shot in a widescreen aspect ratio is transferred
to standard-width video formats while preserving the film's original aspect ratio. The
resulting image has black bars (mattes) above and below it.
• The pillarbox effect occurs in widescreen video displays when black bars (mattes or
masking) are placed on the sides of the image. It becomes necessary when film or
video was not originally designed for a widescreen display.
• Pan and scan is a method of adjusting widescreen film images so that they can be
shown within the proportions of a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio television
screen, often cropping off the sides of the original widescreen image to focus on the
composition's most important aspects. (Source: Wikipedia)
