    HI!
    I’m kind of “turned-around here” after trying to figure this out for too long.

    I’ll go from Vegas with a rendered avi clip into PI, then back again.
    My new PI’d clip is a slightly smaller image than the original (in the neighboring track, on the timeline).
    The PI’d image is surrounded by a thin black frame, within the frame.
    It looks like I’m “zoomed out” when rendered in PI.

    It seems I’m missing something “basic”, here.
    Any “takers”?

    Thanx a ton–
    Ken

    Ken ~

    A couple of things to check. Under ‘project settings’ make sure your ‘stage size’ matches your Vegas format pixel specs and that ‘full frame’ is checked. That under preferences your width and height match the project settings. The stage size setting is important as if this is different to your Vegas settings your output renders will be different to the image size you brought into PI. Finally when you go to render out check that under ‘output options’ that ‘output size’ is set to 100%. PI is a true WYSIWYG GUI and if your output size is not 100% your renders will be smaller than your stage size, and again, remember that the stage size must match the pixel res in Vegas to get accurate size render outputs. Since following these steps I haven’t had any mismatched renders. Mind you this is all in a PAL environment but I would imagine that the same should apply in NTSC if that’s what you are working in. Good luck!

    if your Vegas project is DV NTSC 720×480 … your PI might default to 720×486 ? or 640×480 ??

    Thanks a ton for your responses.

    Rather than solve the problem directly, it did incline my problem-solving towards figuring out the prob’.

    I still am amazed that if you narrow your WINDOW it changes the output’s aspect ratio!

    Nevertheless, Wondertouch if you read this, thanks for the STILL, great app.
