Hey, thanks Mike. Your solution worked. I did the “conform” to the widescreen and it looks normal now. By doing this, do I lose any quality of the footage? And, how did Premiere happen to “misunderstand” the footage in the first place?
From the “interpret footage” screen, I see “D1/DV NTSC(0.9091)”. That means standard DV, which is the first preset I used in the first place. Something I’m still missing here.
I tried in both Standard and Widescreen, still verically distorted (people are taller.) You’re right, something is mismatched here, and I’ve tried all different settings there are in there. Is it possible the preview screen is not right?
