Scaling Changes After Rendering for 9:16 Projects
Hello, and thanks in advance for help on this vexing problem. I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 2022 on a Windows 11 Dell XPS 17.
I have created a new project with social media settings for a 9:16 video and selected that media added should be forced to the project settings. I drag a standard 16:9 video onto the timeline from assests and then scale the video so that it takes up the majority of the 9:16 space, but prior to editing further I click Render and suddely the video is "pinched in" at the sides and of a much lower quality.
I can still see the sizing handles from the original scaling, but can no longer use them. If I delete the clip on the timeline and drag the clip onto the timeline again from the assets, the video is now "natively" pinched. I have tried right clicking on the media in assets and selecting re-interpret, but this does not help. I have tried several different clips from different sources in different project files and the same thing happens whenever I render the project.
Can someone please help me understand what is happening and how to stop it?
