Exporting in PP1.0 – different screen size
I wonder if someone can help me with something that may be a simple problem to correct. For some reason when I export in the Adobe Media Encoder for streaming, or any low quality setting the final wmv file shows more video than I want at the top and bottom of the screen.
For example, when editing, the timeline window shows me a crop at top and bottom and gives my still photos the proper head room as I’ve set them; but when I export with low quality streaming files for the net the cropping is different– nearly 1/2″ more at top and bottom.
I realize that my TV monitor on my breakout box will crop IN more than normal, but the premiere timeline window, I thought was accurate. Why is the streaming export cropping OUTWARD?
Interestingly, when ever I export a good quality MPEG2 file there’s no problem at all.
This is really a problem for me, because, on some of my sit down interviews, I like to put fake letter boxing on top and bottom — meaning — I use the title designer to put bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and then use motion to get the interviewees head room just where I want it. That looks quite bad with the streaming export because it shows some of the video below the black bar. Even when I pull the bar all the way down, outside of view, in the title designer, it still shows video below it.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I can’t give you a screen shot because I can’t capture one frame in a low quality video. I can eventually show you the streamed video, but the client has not yet approved it for release. I’ll work on getting up a little clip that shows the example of what is happening and then post a link.
Thanks for any help any one can give me.

Here is the link to show what I mean. The good one (mpeg) looks nice, but note what happens with the lower quality stream copy. You can even see his hand coming up below the title designer fake 16X9 mask. I did stretch it way down in the title designer, but it does not cover that lower section.
Right click and Save Target As on first one (the mpeg), but click on second one (wmv).
