Hello,  
I am recording a video using the ML2 to promote our new app that we have developed. Is there a way to adjust the aspect ratio other than 4x3, 9x10? I am recording in 4k, but would be better to record in 16x9 - that is more widely used for video on YouTube etc.

Other option, is that I can see if if my editor can expand the ratio - with out loosing a lot of quality.

Thanks

Hey @bmcconnell ,

The Magic Leap 2 does **not** support capturing Mixed Reality or Virtual content in 16:9 aspect ratio.

You can find more specific details about capturing content here

> **[Field of View | MagicLeap Developer Documentation](https://developer-docs.magicleap.cloud/docs/device/hardware/fov/#capture-fov)**

> This document details the devices felid of view as well as the field of view of the world and RGB cameras.

Additionally, this document shows all the supported resolutions and frame rates for Mixed Reality and Virtual only capture

> **[Camera2 | MagicLeap Developer Documentation](https://developer-docs.magicleap.cloud/docs/guides/features/android-camera/#mixed-reality--virtual-only-capture)**
>
> The Magic Leap 2 supports the Android Camera2 NDK APIs. With Android Camera allows developers to capture real and virtual content inside their applications. While the Magic Leap 2 has only one physical, it is presented as 3 separate devices in the...

I think in this case, it would be up to your video editor to expand the aspect ratio.

Let me know if you have anymore questions about this!
