Is there an “Image stretch” option when exporting a video in premiere pro cs5?
Me and my team at church are looking at transitional from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro CS5.
To give you a bit of background, all of our videos in the service are displayed on a large 3.5 x 1 screen using 3 projectors. But, the way the computer processes the image to blend across the 3 projectors, an overlap happens, squashing any image on the screen.
So essentially we edit every in 1680 x 480 square pixels, and we export at 1920 x 480 square pixels, Stretching the image so it displays correcting, filling the whole screen.Final Cut Pro 7 could do this fine, we used a plugin called Flip4mac to convert the video to an WMV and to stretch the video at the same time.
I’ve been doing some tests with Premiere Pro, and while you can change the Frame Size on exporting, the program doesn’t “Stretch” the image, it simply adds black borders to compensate for the frame change. And the plugin Flip4mac doesn’t integrate with Premiere CS5.
While we could export out of premiere and use media streamclip to stretch the video, Can anyone offer a solution (Or a setting I’m missing) that could allow us to stretch the video on export, without having to convert a second time through an additional program?
We work on both Apple and Windows so solutions for each would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I don’t think there’s a “Fit to Comp” like there is in After Effects. Not a great solution, but a workaround would be to save your scale settings as a preset then apply that preset to each clip as needed.

Actually that’s not a bad idea. I could put everything into a Nested Sequence and scale that to fit into the “Stretched” timeline. Could setup a few templates to make that work.
Thanks mate, I’ll see how that goes.
