Export Premiere 5.5 Vimeo
I’m trying to export my 3 min video to vimeo using the preset vimeo HD preset but it’s not exporting it as a full frame (4:3). It looks like it’s exported in a widescreen format but the videos looks streched.
I’ve manually set everything to 4:3; fps 23.96 and also tried to leave it alone but it doesn’t help.
My videos are all H264 format files set at 23.96 fps

You say you are using a Vimeo HD preset, and the thing is that HD is ALWAYS Widescreen, there is no 4:3 HD format.
What is the source video? In the Export settings, what is the resolution and pixel aspect ratio?
Thanks

That makes sense. Thanks!!
My export settings is at 1280×720(resolution) and 4:3 (pixel aspect ratio).
Thanks again!!

Hi Art,
You may be confusing Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) with the screen dimensions ratio. The PAR for 720p HD should be 1.0 (square pixels). And again, HD video is always 16:9, you can’t really set it to 4:3.
I ask again – what is the SOURCE video that you are starting with? Is it 4:3 SD (NTSC/PAL)? If so, you’ll probably want to edit in a Widescreen SD project, so your video will have black bars at the sides (pillar boxing) and that is unavoidable, but then the source will be 16:9 and should convert to 720p with proper widescreen look without stretching (will still have pillar boxing).

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for all your help. Your previous explanations really helped alot. I figured out that my problem was the pixel aspect ratio. I should’ve left it alone instead of changing it to 4:3
Thanks,
Art
