It seems like OpenShot tells Blender to render the title sequence with a
pixel aspect ratio (PAR) of 1:1 instead of the correct PAR for 16:9 PAL
(118:81).

Title:
  Incorrect aspect ratio for animated titles

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I created a new project using my default profile DV/DVD Widescreen PAL
  (720 x 576 with 16:9 aspect ratio) in OpenShot 1.4.2.

  I imported a video having a resolution of 720 x 576 and aspect ratio
  16:9, and added it to the timeline.

  I then created a new animated title - it doesn't matter which title is
  selected, they all produce the same error.

  The animated title's file properties indicate Video Size of 720 x 576,
  but it does not have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

  Initially I thought the title had an aspect ratio of 4:3, but I have
  since installed MediaInfo (mediainfo-gui in the ubuntu repositories)
  which reports that the animated title PNG has an aspect ratio of 5:4.

  The result is that the animated title does not fill the video frame
  horizontally, leaving a wide gap on both left and right of the title's
  background.

  I have uploaded two images:

  A screenshot of the OpenShot window showing an animated title
  overlaying the widescreen PAL video at
  http://gardencam.net78.net/openshot/openshot.png

  A screenshot of the MediaInfo window showing the details for the animated title PNG, including the 5:4 aspect ratio, at
  http://gardencam.net78.net/openshot/mediainfo.png

  Is it a coincidence that each of my two monitors has a native
  resolution of 1280 x 1024, ie. the same 5:4 aspect ratio as the faulty
  animated title?

  Xubuntu 12.04 x64 Linux 3.2.0-29-generic
