When I nest images in Premier Pro and try to have it pan, the background image which is larger than the screen resolution gets cut off. How do I prevent this?

what you need to do can be very easily done within after effects using rasterize when nesting comps, but in Premiere Pro, we do not have rasterization yet, so as Steve said, prepare your assets in a larger sequence nested in the final one for export.

you can request a feature on the user voice.

What you need to do is make a nest sequence 'size' the same as the image in the nest sequence. Then when it's in your main sequence you will be able to scale and pan it around.

With training videos for computer software and we screen grab at 3840x2180 and put these in a sequence at the same resolution. Then drop that sequence into an HD sequence and we can zoom and scale around the image without losing any quality ... as long as (in this case) we don't scale the nested sequence more than 100%.

I attempted to set the nest to frame size but it didn't really work, see the issue isn't that the image is twice as big on both axis but rather that it's twice as wide, so when I set it to frame size it just downscales it, is there a way to avoid that?

Manually change the nest sequence size to match your image pixel size.

Nesting means Premeire will resize the image to one hundred precent of the sequence.

In othr words you cannot pan an oversized image in a nest .

You can right-click the image and select 'Set to Frame Size'. That will set the scale down to what it needs to include the whole frame. Avoid 'scale to frame size' as it fundamentally removes pixels.
