Are you referring to the fact that those shots at those two point are not full screen? What was used to shoot those?

I always ask myself, “What is my deliverable?”. If my finished product is 1080 (or even 720 still) that is how I set up my edit timeline. Then I don’t have to worry about conversion. And if I shot 4K, I have virtual zoom and re-frame options. If I don’t need to move or re-frame, I just right-click and use “set to frame size”.

That’s just me.

Tell us more detail about your computer and storage (see my signature for example information.) I can tell you to start that 8GB of RAM is way too low for Premiere Pro or the Adobe CC apps. I would recommend a minimum of 32GB.
If you are by chance storing your footage and editing on the same hard drive the OS and apps are on, that is also a big… Read more

That is a .91 pixel aspect ratio.

Also, if that is American NTSC, it would be lower field first.

You will more likely see better overall performance from applications, since pagefile use and/or disk activity will be reduced.
