Premiere Pro uses wrong aspect ratio... maybe

Question

Hi!I stumbled across a problem I never encountered before.At the moment I'm working on a project regarding a TV show and my main timeline ist 1440x1080 with square pixels. So essentially HD in 4:3.Most of the material ist from DVD or DV. All in PAL 4:3 which ist 720x576. Premiere recognizes the files' PAR correctly and marks them as 4:3 bit when I put them in my timeline and try to resize them, it does not fit. They are slightly wider and I end up with small black bars in top and bottom. Not thick as letterboxing but annoying.Why does SD4:3 not match HD4:3? CheersBjörn

Hi Bjorn,720x576 is 1.25 not 1.3333 so there would be a resize needed.By @Rach McIntire 720x576, a.k.a PAL, is not 1.25. PAL is either 1.0940 (4:3) or 1.4587 (16:9). &#128578;   @Björn25807059coj1 If you resize your 4:3 PAL footage to 187,5 manually in the Effect Controls panel in your 1440x1080 (1.0) timeline you will get rid of the black bars. But yes, it will crop away a tiny bit from the width of the video.
