Pictures is always zoomed in

The setting on the program monitor is set to fit, so the pictures should automatically fit in, right? I'm not entirely sure how to fix the problem except for going into the effects control and setting the position and scale, which is a real hassle and wastes a lot of my time since I have about a hundred or so pictures to go threw. You see... whenever I place an image onto the time line, the program monitor zooms way too much on the picture. Strange.

Is there a faster way? I remember there was a time when I didn't have to do that so often. Is it the picture format or something in the preference? All the pictures are jpeg by the way.

Hello @_David_M_Ha_,

We appreciate your note. You say you are having trouble with scaling .jpg images. Is that right? Try this: select the image(s), right-click, and choose "Set to Frame Size." That should do it. It also gives you the option of going back into the Effect Controls tab for further modification. Let us know if that worked for you.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

    I tried this approach and it worked.

    But when I started a new project, the photos were zoomed out but a portion of the images are cropped. Not showing full frame. Anything I'm doing wrong?

    Go to your Preferences/Media tab, and set the option for Default Scaling to "set to framesize".
