Layout Editor: How do I use fit modes for content in my zones?
Topic
- What content fit modes are available for zones in the layout editor?
- How do I keep my aspect ratio of my content as it fills a zone?
Environment
- Product Family: Software, Control System
- Product: Venus App, Layout Editor
- Components: DMP-8000 version 8.71+, VP-6000 version 30+
- Control System: Show Control System (SCS) 2.29+, Venus Control Suite (VCS)
Steps
- Best Fit: Keeps the aspect ratio from the source, fits the entire source within the destination space without cropping it. The DMP-8000/VP-6000 will not fill the unused space with black. (Letterbox)
- Scale to Fill: Keeps the aspect ratio from the source, cropping the top/bottom or left/right of the input as needed. The entire destination area will be filled, but parts of the source may be cropped off. (Centercut)
- Stretch: Takes the source area configured and places it exactly in the destination area configured – if the aspect ratios are not the same, the video/content will be squeezed or skewed.
