Video resolution standardisation: I thought it was 1920x1080, oops!
Dear Premiere Pro Pros,
I'm a novice, but just sat through 3 days of editing a half hour video of a musical we staged.
Shot all clips with Sony A6000 16:9 1080i 17M setting.
When I entered Premiere Pro, the first thing I did was make Sequence -> Sequence Settings -> Editing mode: Custom, Video -> Framesize 1920:1080.
My default clip in the sequence editor had black bars at the side, I assumed this was due to window size. See following frame:
Thinking the final output would render a video without the black bars, I used scaling for alot of the clips, like the next frame:
Because I scaled, the black bars went away, but I assumed the final video would crop at the previous position of the black bar (meaning the white door on the right would be gone).
However, when I File -> Export -> Media -> Format: H.264, Preset: Match Source - Medium bitrate, Video 1920:1080, I ended up with a final video product that 1. had the black bars in non-scaled footage, and 2. had varying amounts of black bars depending on what I scaled, just like in the sequence editor.
My aim is for the final video to only show what is in the frame as per the 1st example, and for it to crop the scaled images accordingly.
How do I go about this?
Thanks!
