The common viewer is so very accustomed to seeing distorted images these days. They watch TV shows from the 70’s and 80’s in 16×9 and don’t think anything is wrong with the picture. Not to mention how they overlook the MPEG degradation of the picture over satellite or cable.
Since moving to the Creative Cloud suite we have always used the Stretch to Fill option. It is so slight that not even our most critical producers notice anything is a amiss when they review the final product.

Sounds like those clips with the black pillars on the sides are a different frame size than the others and the timeline. For example putting a 640×480 (4×3) clip into a 1280×720 (16×9) sequence, Premiere will scale the clip while maintaining the 4×3 aspect ratio resulting in the space on the sides.
Options include;
– Leaving the black pillars on the sides
– Fill in behind the clip on a lower track with a color/graphic or blurred and scaled up version of the clip behind it
– -Scale the clip up to fill the frame
all are acceptable treatments, it is a matter of design and taste.

Same here, mine behaves just as expected, no snapping like jumps. Maybe it is related to the mouse, its settings or the surface it is tracking on.

Learn After Effects, that is where most of these effects are accomplished.
The night to day trick was pretty cool. You could shoot the daylight footage on a cloudless blue-sky day. Chroma key out the blue sky sky and replace it with a night sky. Color correct the day footage to match to look like night, then wipe transition between the two.

In the Effects Controls tab, twirl the triangle next to Motion to open up the values. Hover the cursor over the X value in Position line (X on the left, Y on the right) you’ll get a side-to-side arrow <->, click and hold the left mouse button and move left or right to change the value. You can also double click on the value and enter a number directly.
If you want to see a bounding box in the Program window, click on the square next to the word Motion, then adjust your values.

One thing that will speed it up a bit is to have it write the new files to a different drive than the one it is reading from, so the drive is not doing double duty.

For no letter boxing, scale the Red footage up to fill the frame in the tab Effects Controls/Motion.
If you want black bar letter boxing, put a Black Video clip on a track between your interview tack and b-roll track. Use the same transition in&out on the Black Video that you use on the Red footage.

“Limit analyses to definable area within a shot to avoid confusion when objects, as opposed to the camera itself, are moving in other parts of the frame.”
I like this one, very useful.

They are called Light Leaks and they can be found in a number of plug-ins or transitions from 3rd party developers like Digital Juice or Film Impact.

The skin tone won’t change color, but you may notice that highlights on the forehead and nose look a little blown out. You might eat to dial it down a bit when they step into the sun if you can.
