Microsoft Photos - problem with video trimming

Hi Greg,

thanks for your feedback. However, the links provided do not address my issue. I will repeat the procedure on how to reporduce the problem I reported, with Photos Version 2023.10030.7003.0:

1) I have a video which original aspect ratio is 16:9

2) Right click on the video and choose Open in Photos

3) Once video is open in Photos, I choose Trim (a button located on the top stripe, Trim (CTRL +E))

4) Then I choose start and end of the trimmed video and choose "Save as copy"

5) Resulting video has ascept ratio 4:3, which is a bug in the application

What I wanted to point out is that this refers to a bug in the Photos application, because Trim operation is expected to produce the exact same video format, with same codec, bitrate, aspect, etc..

Furthermore, when I open a video in Photos app, there is no option to set aspect or anything else. To be more precise, any application which opens a video should respect aspect ration embedded in the video file itself, but seems Photos don't respect it.

I definitely don't want to use Video Editor, with so many unecessary additional steps like "New Project", "Import Video" (which makes another copy in the Library).

My intention was to do simple trimming on many video files, with just 3 steps, Open in Photos, Trim, Save As. But this operation changes the aspect of the original video, and this is the exact problem I am trying to report

 

Microsoft Photos - problem with video trimming

For anyone interested, I have found an alternative entiorely free app that do trimming job very nice, exactly the same I expected Photos to do, it's Gihosoft Video Editor:

Gihosoft Free Video Cutter - Movie and MP4 Video Cutter Free Download

My prefered solution was to use built in Photos for trimming, but the issue with wrong output aspect pushed me to find an alternative solution.

I would still use Photos, if anyone can point me out to the solution on how to prevent Photos altering my video aspect ration, or in newer version of Photos has this bug resolved.

Microsoft Photos version: 2023.10030.7003.0

I am expriencig an issue while trying to trim a video with Microsoft photos. After the trimming operation, my video has different aspect ratio than the original one, and I could not find any online explanations or relevant help. It's quite frustrating, because trimming operation shall not alter the original video in any way, except it's duration.

For example, my original video is 16:9 aspect ration, and after trimming it's 4:3

Are there any Aspect Ration settings I am missing out?

Thanks in advance.
