Auto Reframe losing Resolution

  • June 1, 2020

When I go to my sequences and hit auto reframe, it drops the resolution of the clips (all of them) down from a normal 1080 down to 112. It also automatically toggles off my motion controls under the Effects tab, so I have to go in an toggle it back on for each clip in the sequence. I'm using Premiere Pro 2020, and it's  fully up to date. So what's going on and how do I fix it?

    After doing a bunch of analyzing I found that I had a png logo that was 800x368 pixels. After removing the png from the timeline the autoreframe properly sized the new sequence to 1080 px in height. My guess is that autoreframe may be setting the max height of the new sequence to the maximum height of the lowest resolution element in your sequence.

    I'm having the same issue. I've got 1080p clips at 4k clips, but when I auto resize it makes the height 368 px. I tried creating 4x5 vertical, 9x16 vertical, and 1:1 square. All resulted in a final resolution with a height of 368 px.

      That might be correct. Which would surprise anyone who wasn't expecting it to do so.

       

      And thanks for posting the information back here!

        I am having the same issue too. My original sequence is 1920x1080. I went to Sequence: Auto Reframe Sequence: Chose Square 1:1, Motion tracking to default, Don't nest clips. When i go to look at the reframed sequence it is 306x306.  Why is it making the resolution so small?

        I don't want to manually reframe each clip in my sequence, because there are 100+ edits and inserts, graphics etc. Is there a solution?

          I'm having this same issue. Using the auto-reframe sequence function to make a 1:1 video and it is dropping the resolution so the end result is tiny and unusable. This has always worked int hte past. Has anyone seen a resolution to this?

            I was asking out of curiosity and also to get more data points for anyone else that sees this thread.

             

            For testing, you could say test with short sequences with one of each type of size change, and see if they auto-reframe correctly or not.

            Cody,

             

            What process did you use to set the framesize for the lower-res media in the sequence? Fit to framesize, Scale to ... , or simply scaled on the sequence manually?

            I wouldn't say there was one thing I did. Sometimes set to frame size but
            often the footage had black bars and then needed to be scaled manually to
            fix. Either way the intuitive thing I expected was that it would look at
            the current sequence of 1920x1080 and go from there 😄

            Is there a setting that would help make this work in the future?

            "1080 down to 112"

             

            Um ... trying to figure out what you mean by that ...

            Yeah I'm having the exact same issue. 1920x1080 sequence, trying to go to a 9x16. Premiere finished auto reframe and the resulting sequence is 103x183 pixels! Hah. Like, super tiny and weird aspect ratio.
