Place the pointer on the Aspect X or Y control and press the right mouse button to display a menu with available frame formats. Select any one of the choices from the menu to set the Height, Width and Aspect controls automatically, or enter the required information manually.

The values of these controls determine the size of the output image as measured in pixels.

The controls determine the Pixel Aspect Ratio of the output image.

This center control repositions the image window when used in conjunction with Pan-And-Scan mode. It has no effect on the image when the tool is set to Letterbox mode.

This control is used to determine the Letterbox tool's mode of operation.

This corrects the aspect of the input image and resizes it to match the specified width.

This corrects the aspect of the input image and resizes it to match the specified height. If the resized input image is wider than the specified width, the center control can be used to animate the visible portion of the resized input.

Filter Modes

This skips or duplicates pixels as needed. This produces the fastest but crudest results.

This is a simple interpolation resize of the image.

This uses a simplistic filter, which produces relatively clean and fast results.

This filter produces a nominal result. It offers a good compromise between speed and quality.

This produces better results with continuous tone images but is slower than Bi-Cubic. If the images have fine detail in them, the results may be blurrier than desired.

This produces good results with continuous tone images which are resized down. Produces sharp results with finely detailed images.

This is very similar in speed and quality to Bi-Cubic.

This is similar to Catmull-Rom but produces better results with finely detailed images. It is slower than Catmull-Rom.

This is very similar to Mitchell and Catmull-Rom but is a little cleaner and also slower.

This is an advanced filter that produces very sharp, detailed results, however, it may produce visible `ringing' in some situations.

This is similar to the Sinc filter but may be slightly faster.

Some filters, such as Sinc and Bessel, require an infinite number of pixels to calculate exactly. To speed up this operation, a windowing function is used to approximate the filter and limit the number of pixels required. This control appears when a filter that requires windowing is selected.

This is a simple tapered window.

Hamming is a slightly tweaked version of Hanning.

A window with a more sharply tapered falloff.

A more complex window, with results between Hamming and Blackman.
