Kind of a newbie so forgive me my ignorance. What can I do to get rid of this without losing my text?

I actually take back a few things I just said in the post. I tried several different video clips and settings. The only time I achieved the same result as you did was when I was using a 4k iPhone video clip and the sequence was made from the video clip. So my sequence was 2160x3840. But if I placed that same 4K iPhone video clip into a 1080 x 1920 sequence and scaled the clip down to 50% then the effect works.

Does that help at all?

It helps if you can tell me how to replicate that. am I scaling the entire sequence or just the clip? How do I accomplish this?

Hi Zombie3,

So I really think that it meant creating a sequence 1080x1920 and inserting in it your clip even bigger, but you'll have to reduce to the size most suitable for your sequence from 1080x1920.

I get the same result when using vertical footage and vertical sequence settings. Perhaps that Essential Graphics Template was only designed for horizontal footage and not vertical? I tried messing around with the settings but it just made Premiere Pro crash, which doesn't happen to me very often. Try choosing a different template. When I went back and tried the same template on in a horizontal project I had no problems.

Can you provide some more details of what you are doing exactly? Explain the results you want and also the results you are getting. Anything to help us understand your problem.

So I'm making a video with several clips in it. There are simple transitions between the clips. For text over the videos I used the template "Angled Image Caption" with short lines of text. During the playback after I render, the videos shrink horizontally (they get super skinny) while the text effects are up on the screen.
