Greetings to the whole team.  
I desperately tries, on UE 4.11 preview 7 matinee capture movie, to generate an animated sequence in the ratio 2:1 (not 16/9). For example, I run a “movie capture” with the following parameters: custom resolution, 4000 x 2000 pixels … the sequence is booted normally, no problems on the screen, except that my saved png, jpg or even avi look like “bad TV distortion” or “venetian store” effects

 ![81656-capture_movie_ratio_2_1.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/9/2/e92402b14781c578684e91488db77646db55f45b.jpeg)

By cons, as soon as I leave the “normal” parameters ie 16/9: all is well! No bug report.

My camera is obviously set to “Aspect ratio 2”.  
But nothing to do in the “customs” resolutions ", I even tried a 2000x1000 or 1000x500: always the same.

Any idea ?  
Thanks. JM\_L

Hi JM\_Lovermind -

We are not able to reproduce the results you are describing above, is it possible for you to test this in a blank project with nothing but the camera and matinee setup and see if you get the same results. If you are able to reproduce it in a blank project, please upload that project here so we can test it internally.

Thank You

Eric Ketchum

Hi Eric,  
Thank you for your responsiveness.[link text][1]  
I actually performed the same procedure on a blank project: same result.  
I have also disabled my secondary screen by testing: nothing to do, always the same.

## In attachment, the “blank project” test. Thanks. JM

Hi JM\_Lovermind -

Thank you for the project I was able to replicate the issue and entered the bug as UE-28434. As we investigate further, I will keep you informed here.

Thank You Again -

Hello Eric, I think you have a lot of work recently but would you have a moment to check what I assume to be a bug?
