As the title states, I'm trying to generate a 1920x1080 (full-hd) animation. But at the end of the rendering phase, the video's resolution is 1920x1060. The video comes with two horizontal black strips, 10px in height each. How do I correct that?
Thank you.
Hi,
please open the pull down menu File and go to Properties / Document Properties. In the dialog open Paper Space and check that the Format setting are set to a format with 16by9 ratio.
And what is the setting in the Workshop Video? Viewport? Full HD?
I rendered the video via Worksop Video, with 1920x1080 resolution. I turned off paper space in the status bar, and tried using 16/9 in the document properties, but it specifically asks for paper lenght and height in mm. Also, even if I tried using 1920x1080 in the document properties, it would still show the black strips.
Excellent answer Vincent,
if you turned off paperspace its only invisible but active.
To change the paperspace use File > Properties > Document properties > Paper Space > Format > Viewport ratio!
After this you will be able to change viewport format to 16/9.
16/9 is no property of the document but of the Viewport. Click to viewport and than change the property of the viewport. you can see from the Background image path property that the viewport is selected
Now open the workshop Video and change window resolution to 1920x1080
If height is 1079 or 1081 select the viewport (this is a inaccuracy error) and drag one edge of the viewport with the mouse.
Best practice: create a SMG File without geometry or collaboration authors.
1. change document property/Papersize to viewport ratio
2. select viewport and change Format to 16/9
3. create a view with this properties
save it as template and use it later on for animations.
i hope this helps
Thank you for your answer, Dirk. I followed your suggestions to the tee, but it still didn't work. Like in my last response, the video aspect ratio has been correctly assigned to 16/9, but the final resolution isn't 1920*1080, but 1884*1060. Do you have any other suggestions to correct this new error? Thank you.
Hi Vincente
which version of Composer are you using?
And which grafik card?
Composer 2020 SP5, and Quadro RTX 3000. NVIDIA driver 441.66, latest SW certified driver.
OK, then it can almost only be a problem with the rendering engine of the composer. This is probably pretty much the newest graphics card you can use and maybe the composer can't do anything with it yet.
We have also had something like this on a computer here in the office.
To narrow this down further, I recommend the following tests:
1. install a codec called XVID on your computer, you can find it quickly via google. Then do not output as MP4 but as AVI and use the codec XVID for the output. Could be that then the result is clean
2. output as single images (jpg or png) and then assemble later with a video tool the images together to a video. A bit cumbersome but should work.
3. test the version Composer V2021 and check if the output works better with it.

Try to set 16/9 like attached screenshot - not in the document settings but in the properties bar.
Well, thank you. Using the property format at 16/9 did actually use that proprotion. But even though I still set the Video workshop as window resolution 1920x1080, it was rendered as 1884x1060. Any other suggestions? Thank you again.
before I answer a few questions:
- how did you render the video? via workshop Video?
- How is the paper space defined? Viewport ratio?
- How is the format of the viewport properties (publication aspect) set? Free or 16/9
