# Working with projects

# Збереження проекту

To save your project work, use Project Save from the menu bar, the Save button on the main toolbar or press Ctrl S. When you save a project for the first time, a dialog window appears, asking you where to save the project file and how to name it.

If you want to save your project as a different file, use Project Save as from the menu bar or press Ctrl Shift S. This can be used to create different versions of your project.

# Undoing and reverting changes

To undo a change, simply click on the Undo button in the main toolbar or press Ctrl Z. In addition to undoing individual changes, you can also decide to revert all the changes you have made since the last time you saved your project. To do so, use Project Revert from the menu bar.

# Редагування параметрів проекту

When starting a new project, you should make sure to adjust the project settings, such as framerate, resolution and preferred codecs. The video resolution and aspect ratio will affect the appearance of the previewer. If you do not set the resolution and aspect ratio to match those of your footage, the video may look squished or letterboxed.

Everytime you start a new project, a dialog window appears where you can adjust audio and video settings or metadata. To edit the project settings after initial creation, use Edit Project Settings from the menu bar.

# Порівняння піксельного та екранного відношень сторін

Digital images are composed of a grid of pixels, which may or may not be square. In some cases, you may need to set the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) for the image to display correctly. On the other hand, display aspect ratio (DAR) is the mathematical ratio of width:height for the whole image.

In Pitivi, pixel aspect ratio and display aspect ratio are related to each other through video resolution (width and height). Once your resolution is set, setting the DAR will influence the PAR and vice versa. You can use either DAR or PAR, whichever you are most comfortable with.

Ви можете вибрати співвідношення сторін зі списку, або ввести власне значення у текстове поле внизу (використовуючи синтаксис "4:3" або "1.3333" і зважаючи на те, що десяткове значення менш точне).
