Re: Adobe Premier 2: Video has "shrunk" a bit and has black box around it.

Hi Ty,

You have created a Premiere project with HD settings to edit your SD footage, that is the issue, trying to edit 720x480 clips in a 1920x1080 project.

Here's the fix - create a NEW project and choose "DV" as the preset, either NTSC or PAL depending on your locale. Also pay attention to "Standard" for 4:3 or "Widescreen" for 16:9.

Now, in the new project with correct settings to match your footage, go to "File > Import" and Import the project file of original project. It will show up as a folder in the project bin - open it and double click on the "Sequence 1" file and this will open the edited timeline you had created before.

From here, you can Export to DVD with proper results. Your video and project frame size settings were mismatched before.
