Question

Fit to Frame not working as expected on multiple clips

When I drag 4k clips into my 1080p timeline, if I drag clips one at a time everything works as expected, but when I drag in multiple clips, only every other clip is scaled to 1080p. I've tried changing my Fit to Frame setting, as well as restarting premiere and it is reproducable in multiple project files.

    Hi @SlaterFullSwing ,

    Are all of your clips are the same resolution and coming from the same camera? They don't vary at all? We could also use you help with the basic bug details to see what else is happening on your system specs. Please see How do I write a bug report?

    Thanks,

    Ian

    I tried deleteing all the clips and importing again and got the same result. Highlighting all the clips and selecting Scale to Frame Size also doesn't work, it basically reverses the problem and makes every other clip too small. All the clips are the same resolution and frame rate.

    You could delete all clips from project, make sure the setting is correct in the Preferences and import again to test the feature.

    I am not seeing this on my system but select all clips in timeline > right click and set Fit to Framesize.

    These clips have all been imported with the setting. They are scaled in the timeline differently if I drag in 1 clips versus multiple and the same exact clips scale differently this way.

    Set to Frame Size in the Preferences only works on clips that have been imported before the settings has been applied.

    Already imported clips are not affected.

    You mean imported into the timeline or imported into Premiere Pro media window?

    dropping files on the timeline means the footage is already in the project.

    As for the Project window (media?) its not yet imported into the project.
