Write_videofile results in 1930x1080 even when I force clip.resize(width=1920,height=1080) before write_videofile

I have a script that transforms Vertical video into horizontal video. Right now these source files are all from mobile devices, and sometimes from Snapchat. I think there is something weird about the pixel aspect ratio because some of my clips come out as 1930x1080 or other resolutions that are almost 16x9. Any idea what the problem could be?

    clip = VideoFileClip(path)
    clip2 = clip.crop(x_center=202, y_center=360, width=404, height=227)
    clip3 = clip2.resize(width=1920,height=1080)
    clip3.write_videofile(output, codec='libx264', audio_codec='aac', temp_audiofile='temp-audio.m4a', remove_temp=True)

You're not supposed to use both height= and width=. You use one of them, and it automatically works out the other keeping the same aspect ratio. You don't want this to happen, so use newsize=(1920,1080).
See resize docs.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed.

newsize=(1920,1920)
clip_resized = clip.resize(newsize)
clip_resized.write_videofile("C:\TEST\NEW_4.mp4")

@kallimadhavareddy It's not clear to me why you added your comment to this closed issue. I'd ask you to open a new issue if you are experiencing problems and fill in the issue template as best as you can.

hi, I am trying to resize a video and force the aspect ratio, I got a video 1280720 and want to resize to 12801596, so the video keeps the same aspect ration but in the process the spaces for the height(Bottom&Top) are filled out with black frames instead. So my final result is the original video in the center on that dimention.
