Hi Rob and welcome to the user to user forums.

No video file has influence on how it plays in a video playback app. It will be the apps settings that need looking at to see if any of the settings vary between them.

I have just played a video I made with MEP on two players at the same time. The both played the clip back exactly the same.

While playing back the resultant video on VLC, what happens if you right click on the video area , then select Video | Zoom | 1:1 ?

You might also need to check your default zoom in the VLC preferences.

I have use VLC 3.016 and I have never had this issue with any MP4 files exported from MEP 2022 (or any other version for that matter)

Nothing, here. Weird!

@rob-osborne

Untick this box (VLC Tools>Preferences) then drag to resize your window:

That doesn't help Im afraid.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Which version of Movie Edit Pro are you using?

Which export preset did you use - a screenshot of the export dialog would help?

It would also help if you put your computer specification in you profile signature - see this topic for what is required and please quote the processor and graphics card/chipset make/model in full. See my signature for an example.

I have just added the data and screen shots..any help would be great thanks

this is what the video looks like zoomed out on VLC

This is how it looks when it is just played normally on VLC

This is the video played on WMP. how it should look

other MP4 files that are not rendered using MEP play fine on VLC

@rob-osborne

Looking at your screenshots, especially the first one from VLC, it would appear that either you have exported the video as 360 degrees or that VLC is attempting to play it in that format.

Can you check your Export settings from MEP along with any playback settings that may be available in VLC?

It might also help if you could point MediaInfo to your exported file and post the results of the text view here. If you're not sure how to do this please read this tutorial.

@rob-osborne Rob, how are you zooming in and out with VLC Player, because I can't get my zoom to work at all.

Also, it would be good if you could do a short export and put it on Google Drive or Dropbox to see if we can replicate VLC's behaviour.

@rob-osborne

Hi

Please note this is a public forum and you should not post personal/confidential information this including images that show serial numbers, email addresses etc.

I have removed the third image from your first post which was showing the serial number of MEP.

@rob-osborne Eek. Here's what I see:

VLC Player:

I kid you not!

Hi

I can replicate the 'zoom' in appearance playing in VLC - both with your video and some 4K UHD of my own and the issue would appear to be VLC/GPU related.

If I play the clips with VLC on a monitor connected to my Intel UHD 630 the display is normal, played on the monitor connected to my Nvidia RTX 2060 the first play of clips are 'zoomed in' however if I close VLC on the RTX driven monitor and then open the clips again VLC displays them correctly.

I should also add that this behaviour is not consistent as subsequent playing of any 4K UHD video is more often than not normal.

Hi.

Once downloaded on my system VLC player always played it with zoom.

In Windows Film and TV it always opens as a 360° video as default.

The only difference I can see between my exports from MEP and yours in the mediainfo file is three missing lines towards the bottom of the video section.
