"Set to Frame Width"

We import a lot of stills (stock images) into 1080 sequences. Most of these are not 16:9.

We can use "Set to frame size", but then need to scale them up to fit width.

It would be helpful to have the option to "Set to Frame Width".

YES, please! A feature/option like "fit to composition / width / height" in After Effects would be tremendously helpful with photos and other footage.

Yes. Similar to "set to frame size". Could be called "fill to frame size"

I've found a free extension that allows filling the whole frame: https://julien.chichignoud.com/adobe-premiere-handy-tools

@53580 Herlihy - have a look at the comment from Sir Ivan below. Excalibur does that (and a lot more)

Surprised this is still not yet a feature (or, preferably as suggested, "touch from inside" / "fill frame"). This is basically a Windows 95 wallpaper level of functionality! 😁

In the meantime, is there another way that I can achieve this in Premiere? (E.g. a preset or some kind of script?).

I had thought about, e.g., creating a Photoshop action for batch processing images I use to 2160 height, and then a Premiere preset for scaling them to 50% -- but this is a little messy from my perspective (and I'd prefer to have the performance benefits of working with smaller images / no-higher-than original pixel density where possible).

AE has this for ages. Cmd+Alt+W and Cmd+Alt+G, scales footage to fit height or width of comp. Simple. Please bring this to PR.

Greetings Fellow editors,

I developed new extension: EXCALIBUR. It has "Fill Frame" command!
And you can assign shortcut to this command.

But it does much more than that, learn more here:

Set Full Frame with Crop is all I want.

I had to deal with this on a 1920x1080 timeline where someone had filmed broll all in DCI 4K, which meant it was scaling automatically to 46% instead of 50%.

It is worth noting that "set to frame size" has a bug where one pixel will show around the perimeter. That would need to be fixed for this suggestion to be worthwhile. https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/34818967-set-to-frame-size-is-inaccurate
