Adjusting Speed- Video changes size
Hey.
I’m editing my first project in Premiere Pro, and there is a bit of a problem.
When I originally put the footage (which is low res, something like 360×400 or akin) it was in a small video box surrounded by black. I adjusted the project settings to accomodate this by “scaling clips to project settings”.
Now, I have two problems here.
1) I edited about half the project and was wondering if there is a way to transform the edited footage to the new dimensions without re-editing the whole thing?
2) When I change the speed of a clip, it reverts to the original size. The more I speed up or slow down a clip, the smaller the video gets. What can I do to stop/correct this? Why does this happen?Thanks a lot in advance for the help- I love premiere, but it takes a while to get used to, and I’m just starting the techincal side of filmmaking, so anyone who wouldn’t mind explaining a bit about this phenominon would help me a great deal. Not too much explaination, just why the clips would revert to that size, and what tools would be used to correct them.
Thanks!

You can use the scale function to change the size of your captured video.

I have NEVER seen this happen before and I do a lot of slowmo stuff. Maybe someone else with the same problem can help you out. -
I tried the scale fuction, but it was at 100% and strangely, if I put it at 99.9% the clip would increase in size only to go small again when I went back to the timeline. It’s a strange problem.

Looks like something is wrong with your PPRO installation. I have never seen the problems you have mentioned above. Try reinstalling PPRO and see if it helps. -
I HAVE seen this problem before on my laptop. The laptop has a fairly crappy video card. I was able to resolve this issue by fully updating my video drivers.
The thing to keep in mind is that this is a purely VISUAL effect. The file is just fine.
A cheap hack that also worked (but slowed down system performance) was to turn off video acceleration. This seemed to bypass the section of the driver that was failing.
Do you know what kind of video card you have?
