Summary

Okay, I've been trying to make an Animation in RMVXA. The original file with the 1:1 pixel size ratios works just fine; but the only problem is that when they appear in-game, the frames look too wide and fat.

Here the character is set into the cell just fine, but as I stated earlier, with this 1:1 pixel size ratio, the character looks too wide in game with the given aspect ratio to the character.

Below is the same picture, however, adjusted to a 16:9 ratio.
