use phone video in 16X9 sequence

I'm editing in a 16 X 9, 4k sequence and want to add a variety of phone clips, probably both iphone and android (I don't have them yet). I know about 709 color adjustment, as I do about resizing video within the frame of my sequence, but I don't know how to fill the black on either side with what I've often seen and think effective: soft focus of the phones image.

 

Can anyone help?

Copy the phone clip to a track above the clip.

On the lower track, increase the scale to fill the black and add the blur effect.

Thank you. Works perfectly...except I can't figure out how to cover all the black on both sides of the frame. When I use Effect Controls to increase Scale Width I'm left with black remaining on both sides. Probably an easy fix but I've not been able to figure it out.

If you've increased the scale enough and there is still black, it could be that the black is baked into the clip.

If that's the case, add a crop effect to the top clip.

No, it's not baked in but my sequence is 4096. X 2160 and the phone video is 1080 X 1920. Pulling the latter wider simply won't fill the frame (I've got both height and width at max 200).

You should be able to increase scale larger than 200%.

I've used 500% in situations like this.

 

Can you post screenshots of your timeline and the Effects Control Panel?

You can definitely create that soft-focus background effect in Premiere Pro! Once you have your phone clips in the timeline, follow these steps:

  1. Duplicate the Phone Clip: Place a copy of the phone clip on the track below the original (or whichever track you'd like to fill the background).
  2. Scale Up the Background Clip: Select the lower clip and increase its scale in the Effect Controls panel until it fills the screen.
  3. Apply Gaussian Blur: Go to Effects, search for Gaussian Blur, and drag it onto the scaled-up background clip. Adjust the blur amount until you get a soft-focus look.
  4. Color Correction (if needed): Adjust brightness or color on the background layer to make sure the subject stands out.

This should give you that soft-focus effect to fill the sides while keeping the focus on the main image. Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out with any other questions!

I create what you see & hear.
