  How do I make footage scale to timeline frame size by default?

  Posted by Thai Tran on November 1, 2009 at 1:26 am

  Hello! I’m on a Mac with Premiere Pro CS4. I am editing a bunch of 4K red footage into a 1920×1080 timeline. I want the footage to automatically scale to frame size when I cut it into the timeline instead of having to manually do it on each clip. I tried going to Preferences>General>Default scale to frame size. It’s now checked but it’s still not doing it; I still have to manually scale each clip. What gives?

  The preference only works from that point onwards with media you add toy the timeline. You can do a Select all in the timeline and right click one of them to select scale to frame. All selected clips will adopt that function.

  If you change the scale to framesize in the preferences of a project to you need to re-import the footage otherwise the footage will stay at the original resolution.
