RIDICULOUS! A user cannot convert a video to a 4:3 aspect ratio! It's NOT an available option. Very strange.

Is there any way to do this without cutting parts out of the video? Stretching a 4:3 video to a 16:9 for example?

but I have a question, as I am recording for you tube how do I remove black bars and make my video whole without cutting some elements of it?

[hebegaido]

Is there any way to change for a custom aspect ratio? manually?

Is there a way to change the aspect ratio of multiple clips at once? I have around 100 cuts in my video, and at the end I need to change the size of all of the clips. I will be here forever if I have to individually select and resize every one perfectly

why does this video have 3.5k dislikes? is my laptop bugging?

[nickaguilar]

When you fit to size it cuts off a huge portion of the video. Is there anyway to fit to size without it zooming in so much?

Thanks for posting this. I have a video I recorded on my Android phone in portrait, so of course it has the black spaces on both sides. I was hoping I could eliminate the black spaces in ClipChamp by changing the aspect ratio and performing a fill/fit per your instructions. On the surface it seemed like it worked, but when i export the file (to Vimeo), the black spaces still remain. Any suggestions? Thanks again and really appreciate your efforts. 👍

How to add video text your name I do video editing, I write my name in it in short RD in that I should write my name in the whole video, then how will it work for anyone who watches my name below that, how do they edit

Not to be a disturbance, but my video has been exporting for an hour and hasn't reached 50%. This is really slow

If I'm going to edit a video, it will be on the harddrive of my computer. For me, it's intuitive to look for the "Browse" or "Browse Directory" button in the interface of a program, then find and load the video and do my editing. Why did you make it tedious and difficult to do something as simple as accessing a file on a computer?
