Premiere Pro Clip Zoomed and Cropped in Sequence/Timeline Only

Hi I'm having an issue where one clip in particular is zoomed in and cropped perfectly to the top left quadrant of the video. I have several other clips recorded in the same manner and all others work fine. I tried searching for the issue on the forum but I couldn't find a solution that worked in my case.

Here's what I have tried:

     * Adjusting clip's scale in the effect controls

     * Right clicked footage in timeline and tried to both Scale to Frame Size and Set to Frame Size

     * Right clicked clip before dropping in timeline and chose New Sequence from Clip

     * I checked the clips properties in my File Explorer and in Premiere compared to ones that work, no differences other than file size and duration

     * Re-imported clip

     * Restarted premiere

     * Tried Remove All Attributes before Scale to Frame Size

None of which worked.

The clip preview looks normal. When moving the play-head back and forth across the clip in the timeline it appears normally, only when playing the clip in the timeline does the error occur.

The file opens and plays normally in the Windows Movies & TV application (my current default from opening a clip in File Explorer), the clips were recorded from NVIDIA Shadowplay, the only difference being the ones that work correctly are highlights of the last 30 seconds (Alt + F10), and the one that does not work is a little under 6 minutes and recorded manually (Alt + F9). I have double checked with other manually recorded clips, and none have the same problem.

I'm not sure what else I can do from this point besides bugging people on the forums.

Okay a quick update:

I'm not sure exactly why this problem was happening only with certain videos recorded in Shadowplay, but to fix it I right-clicked the Program/Source Monitor (the spot where the video plays in Premiere) and changed the Playback resolution from 1/2 to Full.
