Select the aspect ratio you require, and you video project on screen will change to the new view.

Once you've zoomed into your video, a hand 🖐️ icon will appear on the bottom right of the canvas. Clicking this will allow you to Pan across the video allowing you to navigate with ease, especially when you need to make granular adjustments to elements.
Once you've finished inspecting and editing, select the Fit button and this will return you to the full-screen view.
It is important to note that if you are zoomed out of the project canvas, that the panning option will not work.
Once you are happy with your video you can click Generate and the project will be generated as a video with the new selected aspect ratio.
