Hi, I used my Samsung S8 horizontally to take the video at UHD Resolution in 16:9 format. This is the first time I'm using my phone to record it. While editing it was looking strange and when I tried to export it shows the 2 black bars on the sides. Do you know what might have caused it? I used Adobe Premier Pro as I do every time and positioned and scaled it. Attached are the screenshots. Please let me know.

Look at the Source information on the last image ... that's not the same size as the image set on the phone! And is a 4:3 aspect ratio.

So ... how did you create that sequence? And what does Premiere show for framesize metadata of that clip in the Project panel in List view?

When you drag/drop a clip to a blank timeline or clicking a clip in the Project panel/bin and selecting 'new sequence from clip' will automatically get a sequence selected for the framesize/rate and audio tracks of the clip.

Thanks. I just dragged and dropped the clips onto the timeline to create a sequence. I didn't create a new sequence from the clip. I'll first try what Ann Bens suggested and move from there. When I made the changes she suggested and clicked on "Ok" I got the message as I mentioned in my response to her comment. I'm waiting for her to let me know and proceed accordingly.
