Source monitor shows whole picture. Program monitor is heavily cropped

I'm editing a video shot on my iphone 12 pro. The source monitor shows the whole picture. The program monitor shows a heavily cropped picture. Both are set to "fit" and "full". I need the program monitor to also show the whole picture.

    Yes - 'scale' is all you need to do.

    There are a couple of other ways to achieve this as well.

    Right click a clip in your sequence and then select 'set to frame size' from the drop down menu.

    Or you can make 'set to frame size' the default behaviour for clips that don't match your sequence frame size.

    Go to Preferences > Media and at the 'Default Media Scaling' drop down menu - select 'Set to Frame Size'.

    Hi Tuilorraine,

    Sorry about the confusion. Sounds like a 4K clip in a HD sequence. You can scale it down in the Effect Controls panel. You can also start over and create a new 4K sequence. What do you prefer? That will guide the choice you should make.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin

      I'm happy to to do either but say we start with your Effect Controls panel option. Thank you so much for offereing to help.
      In fact I just went to the effect controls panael, scaled it down to 50% and that seems to have done the trick. Is that all I had to do?
