26.3, previously resized clips in existing sequences show Scale Width as 100%, breaking the original framing.

After updating to Premiere Pro 26.3, existing sequences no longer read previous resize settings correctly. Any resize made through the main Scale parameter is broken because the second scale value, Scale Width, is always shown as 100% on previously resized clips. As a result, old framing and resize adjustments are not preserved and have to be fixed manually.

    Having the same problem: Uniform scale looks like the video is at a width of 150, height of 100. I tried replacing the footage bc it’s scaled fine in finder

    but that didn’t work. 

     

    Is there a fix for this yet? Just have to manually rescale everything? 

     

    On Mac Tahoe, 26.5.2

    There are currently two workarounds. 

     

    1. Make sure Program is set to Full
    1. Re-wrap the footage using Media Encoder and set the aspect Ratio (you could also use the “Make Proxies” option within Premiere and instead choose Full and a matching resolution to essentially create “New Masters”)

     

    Let me know if one of these works for you. I’ll post again once I have news of a more permanent fix.

     

    Thank you,

    Amy

    Hi @onesomeone ,

    Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums! We are glad to see you here. We need a few more details to help us understand the issue. Please see, How do I write a bug report?

     

    In addition to the information on that page, it could help to know what effect you are using for your resizes. Are you using fixed effects, standard effects, or a 3rd party plug in? You say “main Scale parameter” but I just want to confirm it’s the Fixed Motion Effect in the Effects Control Panel. You also mention Scale Width, so I’m wondering if the clips in your earlier version had “uniform scale” unchecked to stretch them horizontally? This will help me try to reproduce this on my end.

     

    Thanks for reaching out. I hope we can help you soon. Sorry for the frustration!

    Thanks,

    Amy

    Yes, that is correct: I’m referring to the Fixed Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.

    Previously, the Uniform Scale option was enabled, so I did not adjust the Scale Width parameter manually. It automatically followed the main Scale value.

    After the update, it looks like Uniform Scale is still enabled: the Scale Width control is still greyed out / semi-transparent and inactive. However, the main difference is visible in the sequence image. The image is now stretched, as if Uniform Scale were disabled and Scale Width were set to 100%.

    So visually, the clip behaves as if Scale Width is no longer following the main Scale value, even though the UI still shows it as linked/inactive.

    @onesomeone Thank you for confirming that. What version were you in before the update to 26.3? Did you go from 26.2.2 to 26.3 or an earlier version from 25?

     

    It can also be helpful to have the following information.

    • Operating System: Specify Windows or macOS, along with the version.
    • GPU Driver (Windows only): Please let us know your video card driver version. We recommend updating to the most recent version; for NVIDIA users, we strongly recommend the Studio version of the driver.
    • Video Format: If the issue relates to playback or export, please specify the format (and ideally share a sample video).

    Hoping to help,

    Amy
