Trying to Export

[Spooky76]

Sorry if this has been posted before, I've been searching for an answer and messing with it all day, im at the end of my rope. The files I'm importing are 1920x1080, when ive put everything together and go to export, the summary says the source material is 720x480. Ive tried different output settings from 1920x1080 to matching at 720x480 to making the it worse and it all looks like hot garbage.

It sounds like you edited your 1080 footage in a sequence set to 480. Please post a screen shot of your export settings summary like this example below:

This is what Im working on

Yes, your sequence is set to Standard Definition 720x480, so you have been down converting all your clips to the lower resolution during your edit. Is this your intention?

If not and you want to resize your sequence contents to HD 1080 without re-editing, follow these instructions:

Create a new, empty sequence (File > New > Sequence). Accept any sequence settings that are offered. A new (empty) timeline will appear next to the one you are working on.

Drag one of your camera source clips into the empty sequence you just created, you will be prompted to match the sequence settings to the properties of the clip, do so.

Now your clip should appear full screen and in the correct aspect ratio in your sequence.

Delete that clip you used to set the correct sequence settings from the sequence and return to the sequence you have been working on. Click on anyone of the clips in it and then type Command (Control) + A to select all the clips. Type Command (Control) + C to copy them.

Switch back to your newly created sequence and click anywhere in it. Type Command (Control) + V to paste the clips there.

If they do not look correct in the new sequence, click on any one of the clips to select it. Type Command (Control) + A to select all the clips. Right click on any one of the selected video clips and from the drop down menu choose Remove Attributes.

When the Remove Attributes pane opens, remove the motion attributes.

You are an absoulute life saver. Thank you so, so much. Saved me so much work having to redo it on Blender, this is my first Premiere project

Actually, there is an easier way to do it if you are on a late version of Premiere Pro.

Duplicate your sequence, then working on the copy:

Click anywhere in the sequence to select it, then go to the menu Sequence > Sequence settings. If your sequence settings has the checkbox for Scale Motion effect propotionally . . . then verify it is checked on, and then change the Frame size to 1920 X 1080 and click OK.

Now try your export, exporting the sequence you just fixed.
