# Adjusting the Frame Aspect Ratio

Before you begin repositioning your shots, make sure you have set the aspect ratio of the output frame.

You adjust the aspect ratio when your source material was shot in a format that differs from the intended delivery format, for example, if you shot in 35mm film (1.33 aspect ratio), but will deliver in a widescreen-format aspect ratio of 1.85. Or, you may have shot in a widescreen format at a 2.35 aspect ratio but intend to output a format for television (1.33 aspect ratio).

For information on adjusting the aspect ratio for a cut, see Setting the Aspect Ratio.
