Still picture size and Web video
I am creating a project out of stills. This is it: http://www.suttonbaymediavideo.com
It’s aspect is fine in my editing window but look at the top borders in the Windows Media player. ARGHH. Any ideas how I fix moving stills so I eliminate the top border issue WITHOUT having to go back and resize everything or guess what size it should be, make a new WMV, test it on the web, re-adjust, make a new WMV … try it again …
I am very sloppy about importing any old JPEG in there and I guess I am paying for it.
Thank you for the help! -

Hi there.
I am not sure what version of Premiere you are using, but my feeling is that the same thing is happening at edit time.
My guess is that you are not sizing your preview window correctly and are not actually seeing those black edges in the preview.
Try zooming your preview window all the way out until you are sure that you are seing the “Entire” video.
You will likely have to go back to the problem areas and make sure that you don’t zoom the images out as much, then re-export to wmv.
It shouldn’t take that long if you still have the original project and pictures in place.
Cheers,

It looks like an aspect ratio problem. It is hard to say. Which version of Premiere are you using?

My version is 1.5 and I am so glad you talked about preview window size because it made me go exploring for how to adjust that in the general settings. I am not seeing everything, but when I adjusted the safe aspect or whatever Premiere calls it, it made my system really mad. I put the % to 0 on both and it froze about 3 times. I think 1.5 won’t let me see it, so now I will just have to be extremely careful when I import stills. I tried the magnification at every setting and nothing would let me see the edges. And I read the instructions 5 times and I don’t have a zoom the preview window so I bet that’s 2.0.
Thank you for responding because it really helped. I didn’t know what or where to look for before your post. -
Hi,
That indeed is an odd behavior. I am using 2.0 and can’t quite remember if 1.5 is adjusted the same way.
The great thing about 2.0 is that everything is docked. In 2.0, you can right click on the preview window, and then choose magnification (Or maDnification in your case 😉
See if that works in 1.5 as well…
Cheers,
Vince
