Yea, I apologize, I’ve been away from the PC that holds the video on it. I’ll get back with the info asap!

Hello again,

Yea, it doesn’t seem like it’s simply the program monitor, because video can still be cut off once I render it and look at the finished exported video. It seems to happen when I mix video, which like I said doesn’t seem to make sense since both sources are the same size. I’ll keep trying different things to see if I can narrow down the symptom.

I guess I’d want to lower the frame rate to keep it smooth. The video came ripped from youtube; it’s all simply for a small practice/junk project I’ve got to do for my class- my major is Television Production. I’m the group’s editor, so I just took so B Roll for bad weather and such. That explains the different sources.

Hey, thanks so much for the help, you two. I’ve never learned about things like this, and you’ve explained it so well.

It’s strange though, that from what you two say, it does not really explain the problem I have.

I have two sets of video. Each are both 720p, and 1280×720. The only difference is frame rate. One is 23.976, the other is 29.97.

But the symptom is that the video does not fit the frame. I actually did cut the video, but I had to be very specific by putting the video into the timeline to have it automatically adjust, and just save each of the two videos separately. When I edit the two videos together using Final Cut at my college, chances are that they will not mesh properly.

What do you guys think the problem is with how Premiere is handling the two sets of video?

Thanks again!!!

[Dan Smith]

Awesome, I will give it a try. Thanks a ton, Richard. Be well!

[Dan Smith]

Thanks! May I ask, what do you like about Prelude versus the Media Encoder?

[Dan Smith]

I had not thought of that. If I transcode the video, will it cut off edges of the frame at all, or will it squish it to fit or something? Thanks for the reply!
