Default media scaling does not work when update to 25.6.1
This had already happened in a previous update and then they corrected it.

Now it fails again

This is still an issue on the latest 2025 build, 2025.6.5

Default Media Scaling (Fit To Frame) only works when you drag the clip to overcut in the Program Monitor. Dragging directly from source monitor to timeline does not scale properly. It used to in 2024 and earlier!

Working with “open gate” footage in 1920x1080 timelines often, this is driving me nuts!

Is there a fix on the horizon? Anyone know if it’s been corrected in 2026?

Ok thanks, good to know. I work at a post house and our facility is usually a version or two behind the latest release for stability reasons, but maybe I’ll test the waters.

Same problem here. It is a bug.
When importing a media into the timeline and "set to frame" was set in Preferences/Media/Deafault media skaling
it did that until the new update 25.6.1
Now media is imported with original size.

OK thanks for your response, anyway trust me when I tell you that this issue didn't happen before, as I use this app for 30 years. In fact, I never use the program monitor when dragging clips, I always drag them directly to the timeline. Don't worry, anyway it's not a big deal!

Thanks a lot!

Hi @pablokur - This is the way Premiere has always worked however, I agree it should be improved.

Wrong - when “Set to frame” is chosen as a default, prior to this update, a clip would auto ‘set to frame’ now it does not, these people aren’t blind

The bug is in both... setting scale to frame size or fit to frame

I insist that this error already existed in the past and then they corrected it. Since the last update it failed again

Thank you

Hi @pablokur - I believe this is happening because of the way you import your media. Can you tell me what your preferences are set to under Media > "Default Media Scaling"

If you have "Scale to frame size" on while importing your media it should scale correctly.

I have this same issue, I’ve used Adobe since long before CC days - this worked until the most recent update (yes it failed long ago and y’all fixed it before) - this is NOT user error

I also noticed that it only happen when I drag a clip directly to the timeline, but the problem is solved when the clip is dragged to the program monitor

Ok here i go 

•Issue – Default media scaling is not working

•Steps to reproduce – When you insert a video clip with different frame size than the sequence

•Expected result – The clip should be automatically scaled to the frame size of the sequence as requested in the Media tab of the settings

•Actual result – The clips stay on its own frame sizes

•Screen recording – screenshot attached

•Adobe Premiere Pro version – 25.6.1 (Build 2)

•Operating system – macOs Sequoia 15.7.1

•Video format – any type of video, actually using mp4 mov and MTS

•Comparative information helps us understand more about when the issue occurs:

◦it affects all projects

◦the problem begins after updating

Set “USER PREFERENCES” in MEDIA - “Default media scaling:” to “Fit to Frame”

Move to timeline a clip that is 1920 x 1080

Now, move a clip that is 960 x 540 on top or alone that timeline

That 2nd clip will NOT auto size “Fit to frame” at all - you have to manually right click and make that choice

VERY simple to reproduce as it happens to me every day on every new project Since 25.1

Came here to post this same issue. Following the steps above by Gord Birch Sr. will produce the issue.

Today, I updated to 26.2.2 and “Fit to Frame” is still not working.

I’ve tried resetting the Premiere Pro preferences, creating a new project and still experiencing the same issue.
