Cinematic viewport changes camera aspect preview

Could be some finicky toggles. Check that Cinematic Preview is toggled on in the viewport. Also, check that the you’re actually looking through a camera at that moment, or that sequencer is controlling the camera either through the camera button in the camera track or the camera button in the camera cuts or shots track. I think if there’s no active camera it will behave like you mentioned because it doesn’t know what settings to lock onto.
