Kdenlive does not respect video size

[PapaMouse]

I made this miniature countdown video 100x100 px (5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 … When the video starts it takes 5 sec for the music to begin to play so I have 5 sec to let go the laptop and grab my instrument. That is the idea.)

But … importing this tiny contdown video into kdenlive it stretches it all the way to fill the project (1920x1080)

So I have to use a transform effect to size it as I want … at the left top corner of the music score as in the inlay.

What do I do wrong ?

First, check the settings for the option “Keep clip original frame size on import”:

If it’s on, take it off.

Secondly, you can use this button in the (built-in) Transform effect:

That changes the clip size to it’s original dimensions.

Done … it works … thank you thank you thank you.
