Setting or Changing the Aspect Ratio
The Aspect Ratio refers to the physical dimensions of your show in width
and height as it will appear on a display. When possible, it's always best to
set the Aspect Ratio to match the display your show will be viewed on.
There are three options to choose from in ProShow.
• 16:9 (Widescreen): This is the aspect ratio of modern televisions,
many handheld devices and many computer monitors (it is also
the default for new shows). It’s far wider than it is tall and gives
your shows a more cinematic look. Modern televisions and pretty
much anything "HD" will feature a widescreen aspect ratio.
• 4:3 (TV): This is the standard aspect ratio for older televisions and
older computer monitors. The shape is almost a square and is
what most people think of when they think of a tube television.
