Premiere Pro Black Border Issues

I'm currently trying to export a video through Premiere under the Youtube 1080 HD setting, but unfortunately when I choose that setting a black border appears around the contents of my video. All the images used in the video are set at 1920 x 1080 so this should not be occurring.

I have checked all my image sizes and they are definitely 1920 x 1080

I've exited out of the system to see if it's a glitch and this still occurs.

If I click "Scale to Fill" in the Source Scaling option the Preset automatically changes to "Custom" when I want the Youtube 1080 HD preset.

Would love help and feedback! Thanks!

Select sequence in Project Window, go up to Sequence / Sequence Settings

Change the aspect ratio to square pixels 1.0.

Scale to fill is only usefull when going from HD to e.g. DVD.

I'm having a problem finding where this is at.

I'm not 100% sure exactly what the Project Window is, but I can find sequence settings under sequence in the menu bar, but it doesn't have an aspect ration in the list of options

Project window is the window were all your media is.

You need to select a sequence in the project window first in order to get the option to change the parameter.

That's because your source (the Premiere timeline) is set to a 0.9 pixel aspect ratio, so it's not 1920x1080 - just stretched to look like it is.
