What it is: an extra button or set of option in the Capture settings that will allow you to force 16:9 or some other aspect ratio of your choice.
Why we need it: many FPS players (CS:GO in particular) use 16:10, 4:3 black bars or 4:3 stretched resolutions to aid visibility in-game.
While this is useful, recording the game screen with Outplayed will output a file with the same aspect ratio (even if you are forcing stretched resolution in your graphics settings). This means that in order to create a clip that looks acceptable for viewing on modern screens you need to find the file, open it in another editor and export it with 16:9 ratio. Not only does this take some effort, but it can take a decent amount of time to encode the video with a traditional editor.
Who would benefit: FPS players, people with atypical aspect ratio monitors or accessibility functions.
I would be very pleased to see this implemented, but I understand that the idea isn't as popular as Among Us Kill Events, Minecraft Mod events etc.
the force 16:9 setting doesn't seem to work for valorant. For some reason outplayed captures in 4:3 all of a sudden, I am fairly sure I changed nothing, but the clips are all squeezed and therefor unusable and no setting in the software fixes this.
thank you sire
Where is the setting again? It is nowhere to be seen (see pic)
Since today even with my aspect ratio forced to 16:10 it still shows my ingame resolution on the highlighted file, something changed, and i didn't do it ..
its still doesent work even when i toggled it
This is already available. Please open Outplayed Settings -> Capture -> Advanced and toggle the Force 16:9 option there.
