All my images are taken from iphones using 4:3 aspect ratio. I set the project to not use 16:9. When I export the project to a video file, will the slideshow not fill up the TV?
All TVs these days are widescreen using 16:9. I tried setting the project to 16:9, but some photos get cropped too much and some of the details in the photos are cut.
Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.
4:3 images will not fill a 16:9 screen, there will be black bars at the sides; 4:3 images placed in a 16:9 project will have parts of the photo cropped, unless you zoom out on the image, at which point the bars will return!
Sorry, you cannot have a full screen view of a 4:3 image on a 16:9 TV, unless you are prepared to accept some degree of cropping.

Ok. Thank you for your help. Maybe I can use the TV settings to make the display fill the TV screen. I'll test it out.
Hi
. . . . Maybe I can use the TV settings to make the display fill the TV screen . . . .
Assuming the TV is a 16:9 widescreen, the images apsect ratio of 4:3 can also be expressed as 16:12.
Putting an image of 16 width and maintaining this width, if the height 12 is forced to a height of 9, ie squeezed vertically, this will make people look short and fat, anything that is round will become oval, etc.
In this example the left image is 4:3, the right image is 4:3 forced to fit 16:9
Most TV's when forced to display a 4:3 aspect ratio image will adjust the image to fill the height and add black bars left/right.
As @emmrecs has commented, your options are to either crop the image top/bottom or have the black bars left/right - there is no other way.
