Pressing play (spacebar) causes video in playback window to zoom in, then pausing the video goes back to proper scale

This is driving me absolutely insane. This just started happening after the 2018 release. I have never had this happen before. I'd drag a video, usually .mp4, edit a bit and boom I can export it. Playback was fine, never zoomed in.

I don't know how much information you need for this, but it happens with DSLR, Hard Disk, HDV. Eventually I just started trying presets to see if it was certain ones. What preset should I be using for 1080p, 720p .mp4 videos like HD television shows and whatnot? I'd just like to drag and drop these videos, and not have it "zoom" when I play back while editing. Thanks

Help me Obi-Wan Adobe; you're my only hope.

Are you saying that the video in the Monitor panel zooms in -- NOT the entire program?

I've heard of weird zoom-ins of the program when the program was running on a system with an ultra-high resolution or Retina display.

But I've never heard of only the video in the Monitor/preview window zooming while you'r editing.

What are you complete computer specs, including your monitor resolution?

Right, just the playback area, you know, where the video plays above the timeline. It doesn't happen with every video either. I just drag/dropped another mp4 but it's not happening. Maybe I need to convert the video with handbrake or something.

Windows 10 64

GTX 1070

i5 7600k

16 GB DDR4 RAM

840 EVO 250 GB SSD

1920x1080 @144Hz

See, top is paused, I press play using spacebar or otherwise, and it zooms an area in. That's DSLR preset I think, but all the 1080p ones do this.

EDIT: Ok, so I just used HandBrake to convert the video and it does NOT zoom in. The video was already mp4 though.. confusing, but I guess I know if and when another video does this, I can just convert it. Would still like to know why this is happening, but a solid workaround.

Thanks for replying!

I've still never seen anything like this, so I really don't know what the fix is.

I'm glad a conversion with Handbrake fixes it -- but didn't you say you had this also happen with video you captured over FireWire from an HDV camcorder as well as MTS video from a hard drive AVCHD camcorder and a DSLR? If it's some odd quirk in a video, it wouldn't happen with ALL THOSE DIFFERENT FORMATS!
