Glad you have sorted it.

I have managed to work out how to do it. I use 'export as picture', select the image area and then save. This then produces an image the same size as that imported into X6.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with this program and do not understand how I can achieve what you suggest. Could you please elaborate with simple step by step instructions? I have an option to crop the video image but not for cropping the A4 template.

Thanks.

You have to insert something in a background track that complements the A4 image, e.g., a colored shape, another image, or even a video, or perhaps crop the A4 to fill the space.

I am wanting to import a video still picture whilst retaining the 16.9 ratio. As far as I can see, there is not an option to do this in X6.
I don't want to have any blank white spaces which I get if using say an A4 template.

How might I retain the full 16.9 image so that when exporting to picture it continues to fill the video screen?
