Black borders on Export

I'm having the same problem. I try exporting it as an mp4 at 720p, but it still has a black border around it. No-one seems to know how to fix it and I'm at my wits end now. I'm using Premiere Elements. I'll experiment with only using a video input at the same res (720p) and see if that 'mismatch' is the issue, as I'm making a compilation video made up of all sorts of video sizes. Some are 480p, 720, and I think there's one or two lower than that.

You have a 720x576 project that you're trying to output a 1280x720 video from it.

What happens if you output a 720x576 MP4 from your project.\

BTW, are you sure you're using Premiere Elements? If so, which version? Your project settings screen doesn't look like a Premiere Elements screen and if it's a very old version of the program, you may not be able to work with the video you have in its present form.

Not sure if this is the same problem, I have exported text elements as png.'s and then added them into premiere pro.
Once i export them, theres a slight drop in qaulity and a slight drop shadow happens. I dont see this in the timeline, but as soon as i export that happens.
I'm working on a 1920x1080 seq. I tried exporting in a few formats, quicktime, h.264 etc. and it kept happening

Does anyone know of this?

You are posting in the wrong forum, this is for Elements.

Make a new post in https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/ct-p/ct-premiere-pro?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

And no its not the same problem.

The issue is that there is a mismatch between your project and the specs of your video.

1. Under the Edit menu, what is listed on the General page under Project Settings?

2. Open our original video in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the text in this report and paste it to this forum.

 

Once we know your project settings and your complete video specs we'll be able to tell you how best to proceed.
