aspect ratio-widescreen concerns
Hi,
I recently shot a documentary on DV 16:9 on a Panasonic DXV100a. I am quite new to Premiere Pro and was wondering why once my work is on the timeline it appears in the Monitor window as having a black border all the way round. The project is PAL DV Widescreen 48Khz.
This could be a stupid question but would really appreciate it if someone could explain or put my worries at rest

If your movie has a black border it is because the resolution is lower than the project’s resolution. click on your movie in the time line and click on the movie preview, you should see gizmos appearing around your movie those will allow you to scale up your movie to make it fit the project’s resolution. Hold down SHIFT and drag one of the corner square, until it fits the movie project. if the movie doesn’t to fit in then it’s because your movie and the project’s aspect ratio are different. before you do any real editing try different project resolution settings until you see fit.
hope this help !
