ConformationMethod
is an option for VideoJoin and others that specifies how to conform frames of different videos.
Details

- When combining video objects that have different frame resolutions, frames should be conformed to have the same size. ConformationMethod specifies how to perform this conformation.
- Typical settings include:
-
"Fill" fit the smaller dimension; crop the other if necessary "Fit" fit the whole image; keep the aspect ratio; pad if necessary "Pad" pad and/or crop without resampling "Stretch" stretch the image to fit by resampling "Letterbox" fit the width; pad and/or crop in other dimensions "Pillarbox" fit the height; pad and/or crop in other dimensions "Windowbox" fit to the center; pad all sides - By default, typically black padding is used around the image. Use ConformationMethod{"method",Paddingpad} to specify a different padding value or scheme.
Examples

Frame fitting specifies how frames should be resized to fit into a different size or aspect ratio video:
By default, most functions resize the frame so that it fits to the new frame size and pad if necessary:
Use ConformationMethod"Fill" to fit frames into the common size and avoid padding:
Scope (3)
Conformation method specifies how frames should be resized to fit into a different size or aspect ratio video:
Check the original image dimensions:
Compare different fitting methods:
Specify the padding color to use when padding is introduced:
Use a different padding scheme:
Use ConformationMethod when joining videos of different frame dimensions:
The "Fit" method resizes images, preserving aspect ratio, and then pads if necessary:
Use ConformationMethod"Fill" to fit frames into the common size and avoid padding:
The "Stretch" method stretches the frames, which may distort image features:
Properties & Relations (2)
Some functions take a RasterSize option to control the dimensions of the resulting video:
Specify the method to use to make frames fit into the specified size:
Specify the padding value or scheme to use when padding images to the specified size:
The methods accepted by ConformationMethod are the same as can be used with ConformImages:
Specify a fitting method with the ConformationMethod option:
Specify a fitting method with ConformImages:
Specify a padding value with the ConformationMethod option:
Specify a padding value with ConformImages:
