Export to original file dimensions

Hi all, been using PE for a while but there's one thing I can't figure out.

If I import and edit a video file for example 1920x1440 (4:3), when I come to export the only options I get are 1920x1080 (or equivalent) leaving black bars at the sides. I looked online and apparently it sets the project at the resolution of the first file you drag to the timeline, but I can't get it to export at the original file dimensions without black bars. None of the export presets allow 4:3.

I just want to for example overlay audio then export the video exactly as it was added.

Thanks - Keith

A 4:3 1920x1440 video is not standard video dimensions. Premiere Elements does not have project settings to match that video file size, so you will always be "floating" that video within a more standard video size (eg, 1920x1080).

The only 4:3 video project settings in Premiere Elements are 720x480 (.9 PAR) and 640x480.

What model of camcorder is your 1920x1440 video from.
