Any way to make the 720p clips fit into a 1080p movie ?
Hi, we were doing a wedding shoot, but one guy forgot to change the camera settings to 1080p and kept on shooting on 720p.
Now, we have finished doing the whole movie which is set as 1080p and everything is fine.
But there are few clips from his camera, which are quite nice and its shot at 720p .I thought, premiere export would auto upscale it to 1080p and show full screen.
But after exporting it, I find, those 720p clips part on the movie are coming in the center in a small box with black bars all around it.
Is there any way to auto upscale the 720p clips to 1080p, even if there is a slight decrease in quality, which I think, would be negligible for the end users.

Preferences – General – Default scale to frame size

Do you mean in the premiere timeline, after placing all the clips, before the export, just goto Preferences – General – Default scale to frame size ?
-
If you have that setting on every clip you edit to the timeline will be scaled to the sequence resolution. If you already have stuff on the timeline select all – right click – scale to frame size.

I do prefer to leave the “Scale to Frame Size” checked in Preferences, that way everything I import always fits the frame. On the occasion that I don’t want a clip scaled, I can manually right-click the clip in the sequence and change it.
To be clear, if you turn on the feature in Preferences, it does NOT affect clips already imported, only affects imports after making the change. For already imported clips, do it manually as suggested by Tero.
720p clips should look fine in the 1080p project.
Thank you

Selected all and I dont see any such option on the right click.

I don’t know if that is an option, just right-click any SINGLE clip instead and see. Are you on Mac or PC? Sometimes there are little differences
Thanks

How many clips are there? If there are only a few, I’d just go in and use the “Motion-Scale” parameter in the Effects Control panel and scale them up.

Hi Tim,
Curious if you know the answer to this – is there any quality difference in using Motion < Scale versus “Scale to Frame” function?
Thanks

I have never used the preference to force scale media as I work with various size assets and scale them myself quite often.
What I don’t like is the size that the asset is scaled to becomes the 100% scale factor. If I imported some 1080 material into a project where I intended to use it in a 720 sequence, and the media force-scaled to size, I would like to see the motion-scale setting tell me it’s scaled to 67% (approximate) instead of 100%.
To be honest, so many of my projects have multiple sequence types that I wonder what the preference would actually scale to? The last sequence I touched before I imported the asset? The first sequence I created in the project? I’ve never had time to test it.

[Jeff Pulera] “is there any quality difference in using Motion < Scale versus “Scale to Frame” function?”
I realize I didn’t answer your direct question…using the “Scale to Framesize” feature does re-rasterize the media to the new size, so, yes, it would result in a quality loss, or at least some lost flexibility versus just bringing the media in and scaling it manually.
