Incorrect aspect ratio of video when using c_limit

Using c_limit results in a video with an incorrect aspect ratio. Per the docs (https://cloudinary.com/documentation/video_manipulation_and_delivery#limit) c_limit is supposed to preserve the original aspect ratio

  Hi Yassine,

  You can add the fl_keep_dar to retain the original aspect ratio when doing the transformation (see https://cloudinary.com/documentation/transformation_reference#fl_keep_dar):

  The outcome of the c_limit results in some adjustment of the image and text and I would recommend using c_scale, instead (see https://cloudinary.com/documentation/transformation_reference#c_scale):

  https://res.cloudinary.com/oncyber-io/video/upload/fl_keep_dar,w_600,h_600,c_scale/hicetnunc/424868.mp4

  And to further help you in optimizing your video when delivered to different client devices and browsers, use can our automatic quality and automatic format transformations so you could save a lot of bandwidth, for example:

  https://res.cloudinary.com/oncyber-io/video/upload/fl_keep_dar,w_600,h_600,c_scale,f_auto,q_auto/hicetnunc/424868.mp4

  Please take a look and hope this helps.
