Change resolution for zoom

Hi everybody,

I've got a question: I start working (just for myself for the moment) on video editing. And I work on Premiere Pro.

I was wondering: on Photoshop, if you have a picture in 300 dpi, you can change the resolution in 72 dpi, uncheck the resampling, and you'll have an image biggest than before. Lower quality too.

Is it possible to do the same with Premiere Pro ? You've got a video in 4K, you want to change the resolution in 1080p, no resampling, and you've got a bigger video. And then, you can crop, for keep only the part as you want. So it's a zoom.

I hope it is clear ^^

Thanks by advance.

    DPI is for printing, it  has no meaning in video, video is all about height and width in pixels.

    Select sequence in Project Window,

    go up to sequence / sequence settings,

    set editing mode to custom,

    now you can change the parametes.

    If I understand correctly, you should edit your 4K media in a 1080 sequence.  That will allow you to zoom in up to 100% without losing any quality.  To see the entire frame, set the Scale to 50%.

    Ok, so it is not possible to have a bigger image if I change the resolution ?

    So, how can I zoom ? I know it's maybe a stupid question... But I mean, for not lose quality, is there a setting to do on the camera ? Or Adobe Premiere can do something good ?

    Thx !

    If you do exactly what I wrote in my previous post

    you get exactly what you want.

    Change the hight and width.

    And make sure Scale to Frame Size is off for every clip in the timeline.
