Premiere Pro program window not filled by image (sequence settings match source video properties)

[rodrigog82469003]

Hey,

So my program window is not being filled by the image (looks zoomed out).  I matched the sequence settings frame size to the source video file, and have it under "fit" in the program window.  The source file is 3840x2160.  I also have it set to square pixels (1.0).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

since your sequence settings are the same as the source footage,

click on the clip on your timeline and check its scale values

from effect controls, is the scale property at 100% value?

are there any adjustment layers on your timeline on which

there is a transform effect applied? are you using any plugins or presets?

Thaaanks, this helped a ton. For some reason the scale value was set to 50% on each clip when importing.  Is there any way to change this for future 4k footage importing into the timeline?

Cheers!

when you first start a project and import your footage into the Project Panel, 

drag and drop them into the New Item icon at the bottom of the Project Panel...

this will start a sequence with exactly the same settings as your source footage...

and check your Default Media Scaling from Preferences - Media
