Make proxies automatically get the correct aspect ratio

When proxies have a different aspect ratio from the original, it creates all kinds of problems when scaling, aligning and positioning clips.

It seems like in 2018 it should be possible for Premiere to read the aspect ratio of each original clip, and auto-match it.

    Hi @Kevin-Monahan 
    Since we've now gotten new Proxy sizes that's not "medium", "small" etc. – but "half res", "quarter res" etc., I think we'll run into the issue a lot less. I don't really know if making the proxies in a thrird-party app would still cause any problems, but at least for those of us who make our proxies in Premiere Pro, this is no longer an issue. 👍

      Hi @Jarle Leirpoll,

      How's it going, brother? Is this still an issue after the recent update, Jarle? Please let the community know. I suspect that this is still the case but wanted an update from you.

       

      Sorry for the lack of a response from the product team.

       

      Thanks,.
      Kevin

      Since the export dialogue from Premiere already includes a "crop to fit" option, why can't this be a checkbox in the preset settings??? Adobe +1 FAIL

      Proxy creation in Premiere & ME is a nightmare, even in the 2022 version! It gets everything wrong from framerate to aspect ratio.. It should be automatic!

      Please add a feature where we can change frame size to 50% 25% or specify a width or height and the aspect ratio and framerate are automatically calculated correctly while making proxy files.

      a HUGE +1 to this request. I don't want to have to think about what aspect ratio my footage is when making a proxy. For anyone experiencing this, I wrote a quick blog post featuring a few free custom ingest presets for common aspect ratio to help with this issue, hope it comes in handy: https://meetmichaelhenry.com/blog/2019/10/5/creating-proxies-for-footage-of-any-aspect-ratio-in-premiere-pro
