Field Description
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.

1 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.
2 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.
3 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)
