Premiere Pro 2020 Image size issue

When I transfer an image from a Bin onto the Timeline, only about 75% of the image is visable. I have tried to see if the missing part is off screen, but the placing from the Bin onto the Timeline appears to cut 25% of the image. How do I see the whole image on the Timeline?

Hi Stan,

Many thanks for your advice. I will attach the Sequence Settings for the video file created as advised. I'm wondering if I'm trying to do the 'impossible' by combining still and video images from both the IPhone and Nikon camera on the one Timeline? To put the video file on the Timeline I think I need the 16:9 ratio and not 4:3 that appears to be the default setting.

That's good now. That's what I was trying to get to. So, add your photo now to this timeline. Then you can adust the Scale setting in the Effect Control Panel. And have black bars left or right / top or bottom. Or you can scale the image so it fits into the frame fully, but you'll be cropping sides or top/bottom.

It's the way it works when you have different aspect ratios. People deal with this all the time, it's part of being an editor.

Try this.

First, with your problem project loaded, send us a screenshot, of 'Sequence Settings" from the Sequence menu up top.

Then: Start a brand new project. Import you image, drop it on an empty timeline.

Send a screenshot of your Sequence Settings now.

Hi MyerPJ,

I will attach two images, MalcolmPremProImage1 and MalcolmPremProImage2 with the second after starting a new project. The image in the new project appears to have all the image now on the Timeline.

Yes, thanks. So, the original timeline / sequence is DV size 720h 576v (1.4587), and pixel size is not square.

Your sequence setting in the original is not correct. What are you trying to do? HD, 1920x1080, typical type thing?

So, I suggest you create a new sequence 1920x1080, and then select all the clips in the bad timeline and copy them in the new one. If that is workable, great. You'll definitly need to work on the clips "size" when you do that. Otherwise, if you've just started. Create a HD sequence and start again.

Past MyerPJ, also check your Preferences. There's a sizing option there ... whether you have scaling pref set to None, Set tor framesize, or scale to framesize. You do NOT want Scale-to, but for many, using Set-to framesze as a pref works fine.

And might take care of this for new media added to the project. But remember changing Prefs only affects new media added, not current media on a sequence. For that, MeyerPJ's comment rules.

Many thanks Neil for your thoughts. I did a search for 'Preferences' as suggested but unfortunately I couldn't find 'Prefences' (I'm using Premiere Pro 2020) despite a lengthy search. Can you offer any thought please?

Try right-clicking the clip in the timeline and select 'Set to Frame size'. You may have an aspect ratio problem also and/or a problem with the sequence size and the clip / photo size. Check the sequence properties and the image size / properties and let us know.

Many thanks MyerPj for your thoughts. I was able to do the first part you suggested 'Try right-clicking the clip in the timeline and select 'Set to Frame size" but this made no difference to the missing outer edge parts of the image. I tried searching for "an aspect ratio problem also and/or a problem with the sequence size and the clip / photo size. Check the sequence properties and the image size / properties" but I was unable to locate the parts you mentioned. My apology for asking for further assistance. The image area size is altered/reduced when I transfer the image from the Bin where the full image is shown, to the Timeline where the outer edges have been trimmed/eliminated.
