Playing my video on TV results in edges being trimmed.
Hi,
I have burnt my video made in Premiere Pro 2 to DVD, using these settings, ‘PAL DV 4:3 High Quality 4Mb VBR 2 Pass’
The movie project was set up as a standard Pal project (p.s. I’m in the UK) so the size is fixed to 720×576, which i believe is 4:3.
I have played the dvd on my laptop and the whole image is there ok.
When I try it on my TV, 32 inch flat TV, it trims off about 1-2 inches off each side.
I’m pretty sure I got the export options set ok. I used: PAL, the ratio is fixed to 720×576. I didn’t go for a 16:9 ratio because it added 4 inches of space on the left and right.
Any thoughts or comments would be very much appreiated.
Best wishes,

That’s about right. That’s why I edit using a small tv connected to my camcorder.
That way I can see what the television will let you see of the video.
You will notice on the titling in Premier, that there is a tv safe zone marked out.
That way your titles will stay within the tv picture tube view that is not masked off by the cabinet edge. -
Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply.
Unfortunately I have just completed three videos like this.
Is that a work around to fix it or export it in a certain way so that it fits the TV screen?
Thanks,

You can always scale it down by nesting it into a new sequence and applying the scale effect.
