Remove border around video?

Hey how do I remove the black border around the video? Everything I find online shows how to do that on Premiere Pro but there's nothing for Premiere Rush. The only thing that comes close is scaling the video up to 200% but that still leaves a small border around the video. Is there any way to have the video match the full screen? Thanks.

Here is how you do it:

1. Go to File - New Project

2. Enter Project Name and click on Change settings

3. Expand the PAL option under available Presets option

4. Expand AVCHD

6. Select the "Force selected Project settings on this Project" option

7. Click on ok button

8. Import your files in this project and add in timeline

I don't have the option to 'change settings'.

 

Tried creating in square. No matter how many times I do this, it landscapes to a black border each side.  Very frustrating.

Hi DrPants!

Some photos of this issue would be very helpful. Is this border on every video you import or just some of them?

Happy to help, just need more info to understand clearly!

Check to make sure that your footage matches your project settings.

Options to correct this include

  • Use footage that matches the size of your composition (project)
  • Scale footage to fill the window
  • Change project settings to match your footage (may crop some of your clips)
  • Check options for compositing vertical video into horizontal compositions (double up layers)
  • On a frame like this, add a color background to extend the sides of the slide.
