Amazon Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members. So in order to avail of these Prime Day exclusive deals, you need to have Amazon Prime membership.

Amazon Prime is an annual membership that was first launched by Amazon back in 2005. Prime memberships has many benefits including free shipping, access to Prime Video, Prime Music, and so much more. I've actually created a video showcasing some of the key Prime Benefits and a comparison of the membership between US and Canada.

This is great because you can not only avail of the huge Prime Day deals, but also use the membership benefits for free, for a whole 6-month period.

How to Stretch Video in Movavi Video Editor

I've used many different video editors over the years since I got into video creation and video marketing. For the past couple of years, I've stuck with Movavi Video Editor as my main video editing software.

One of the main reasons I like Movavi is because it's simple to use, but at the same time it has some really useful video editing features. I'm using one of the older versions of Movavi and it works great for the types of videos that I create.

In this particular blog post, I'm going to share How to Stretch a 4:3 aspect ratio video to a 16:9 aspect ratio video. Bear in mind that this particular feature is not available in the newer versions of Movavi. So if you're using the latest version, you may not have this feature.

That being said, all hope is not lost. You can still manually stretch your 4:3 aspect ratio video to a 16:9 aspect ratio video. And further down this blog post, you will find a video tutorial where I show you how to manually stretch your MP4 video using Movavi.

So first let me start by showing you how to stretch a 4:3 aspect ratio video to a 16:9 aspect ratio video using the built-in Project Settings feature in the older version of Movavi.

One way to covert a 4:3 video to a 16:9 video is to use the Crop Tool in Movavi. However, using this method, you will lose some of the content in the video. If you’d like keep all the content and just stretch the video, you will need to use the Stretch option under Project Settings. In order to do so, follow these steps:

1. Add the video to Movavi using the Add Media button;
2. Click the Edit button, in the Project Settings section (below the timeline);
3. Set the resolution of the video (I used 1280x720p in this example);
4. Under Framing, choose Stretch and click OK;
5. and finally, render the video using the Export button.

If you prefer video instructions, watch this video tutorial on How to Stretch a Video in Movavi video editor in which I walk you through the process step-by-step:

Like I said earlier, if you're using the latest version of Movavi video editor, then most probably you won't have the Project Settings option. In this case, you will have to manually stretch your video. You can check this tutorial below to do so. Bear in mind that this tutorial below is just a rough tutorial I created for one of my YouTube viewers who requested it:

I don't know why the Movavi team removed this Project Settings feature in the new versions. I find it very useful and so I've contacted them and asked them to add it back. I would appreciate if you could also contact Movavi and ask them to add this feature back in their latest version. The more users contact them, the more likely they are to add this feature back.

Well, hope you found this tutorial useful. You will find many more Movavi video tutorials as well as my Movavi Review on my YouTube channel. If you have a request for a specific tutorial, please let me know and I will do my best to create it.
