Hi!

Trying to get my aspect ratio right, between the 3 monitors I have synced is 4320x900, trying to figure the canvas and output resolution to do 720 ish...
Every time I try, it comes out squished and very blotchy, cannot even see anything except a general idea of what you are watching.

Hope someone can figure some settings for me that work, man what a frustration.

Thanks in advance, Mitch
 
You cannot magically squeeze one aspect ratio into another and expect no distortion.

Youtube and allmost all of todays' monitors are aspect ratio 16:9, which means that "720p" means a resolution of 1280x720. If you scale this aspect ratio to a height of 900, you get a horizontal resolution of 1600, e. g. 1600x900. If you have a horizontal resolution of 4320, you'd have to crop 2720 pixels from such a 4320x900 frame to fit into a 16:9 ratio.
If you take the other way and start from the horizontal 4320, for a 16:9 ratio you have to have a vertical resolution of 2430. 4320x2430 is a 16:9 aspect ratio. If your monitors only have 900, more than half of the frame is black.
If you at any time stretch the image to fill black spaces, you distort the image.

Usually, people with 3 monitors record only one of these, not all 3 together.

This is no OBS problem, this is a fundamental thing with image and video processing.
