Preference 'Scale to Frame Size' doesn't work (anymore)

Preference/Setting; Media > Default Media Scaling > Scale to Frame Size doesn't seem to work anymore starting version 25.

Set to Frame size has become Fit to Frame; which is fine. But Scale to Frame Size just does the same as 'None'.

It works as expected when using the fly out menu in the timeline btw.

My suggestion would be to remove it altogether... 😉 'Fit to Frame' is always better in my opinion...

The Preference setting will only work on newly imported files.

Files already in the project are not affected. Either use the fly out menu or the Properties Panel.

This issue still persists for me. I currently have my media preference set to "Scale to Frame Size" and the clips that I pull into my timeline "fit the frame size". As a work-around I've set my "F" key to "Fill Frame" and press it directly after pulling my clip into my timeline. Doing this for every clip is annoying and I just want my clips to fill the frame once put into my timeline. I've tried resetting my adobe preferences/computer and newly importing clips but nothing works clips. Someone help please.

I never noticed that. I thought it was for new clips being placed in the timeline. I'll check it... Thanx!
