  • import flv edit back to wmv black border?

    Posted by Kevin Brown on April 30, 2008 at 4:32 am

    So, newbie here.
    I was going to youtube, taking videos and reediting them in windows movie maker actually worked good, except it was a linear function with audto.
    So I got CS3, do the same and I export via export-adobie media encoder. I have 320X240 frame size, and even went to 458-336, and I still end up with a smaller than normal video and a big black frame.
    i ahve exported in wmv, quick time, and avi to no effect.
    Is there something I have to do to make it larger before I export?
    here is the video:

    As long as you are following the same Pixel Aspect Ratio from project to export, just resize the video in the timeline using the motion settings, or right click on the clip and “scale to frame size” and it’ll be full frame in preview and on export.

    Could you explain a little bit more in detail?
    “just resize the video in the timeline using the motion settings”
    Where do i click on to get motion settings?
    thanks

    The effects panel.

    I think you would be happier editing in the same frame size as the videos you import. A custom project setting using the Desktop editing mode would allow you to skip scaling up the video to fill the frame. Just use it at the native resolution.

    Keeping it at it’s native resolution is not the problem from what I understand. I hate to say that, “PPRo shrinks my video for no reason,” but when I take the same video clip and import it into windows movie maker 2, it is not shrunk.
    I am a little new to this so there is probably some simple thing I am missing.
    I grab clips from youtube in flv, then convert them using WINFF converter.
    Now if I import that wmv that was converted from flv in WINFF into PPro, it’s small, if I import it into WMM, it’s fine.
    So does Ppro (premiere pro) default to a different resolution or size than windows movie maker?

    Ok, so using effects panel(window-effects panel) can I do a select all clips and make them 150%?

    I went back and found that once I export the clip I can crop the black out of the image around the picture frame edges.
    Should do the trick, now onto better things.

    Premiere Pro does not shrink your clips. The frame size of your project is just bigger than your video, that’s all.

    You can make a project the same size as the video, or as you discovered, you can crop the video during export. I prefer the former.
