Hi Stephane99 -
In a world of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, IGTV & mobile devices, I guess it is an odd decision NOT to incorporate 1:1 apect ratio into an NLE.
As has been mentioned in other posts, PDR cannot produce square videos at this time. Once you've built your video in PDR, there quite a few easy ways to get it cropped to 1:1.
One of the simplest (free) ways is to use
VLC Player to convert/save the video using the method shown in
this tutorial. For converting a 16:9 - 1920x1080 - video to 1:1 - 1080x1080 - this involves cropping 420px from left & right. Once you've set that up in VLC Player's preferences, it's permanently available for other similar tasks.
Here's a little
16:9 video made in PDR17. Here's the cropped
1:1 version made in VLC Player & the
same thing posted on Facebook.
As a guide, when making the video in PDR, you can use a temporary overlay like the one attached so you know what space you're working with.
Cheers - Tony
