I'm new to this product and couldn't find my specific issue (or at least didn't recognize it).
I was using downloaded video to make a simple music video (to experiment with on the trial version). So I have the first clip in the sequence and then I add a second clip and after working with it for a few minutes notice that in the sequence viewer the video is enlarged and the sides are cropped so I'm only seeing an enlarged picture of the center. The zoom was still on fit though. I don't understand why the video was automatically zoomed and cropped by Premiere and when I delete the clip and put it back in it does the same.
Any insight?
The first clip in the video was a 640 x 360 While the second video was 1280 x 720 and both had square pixels (1.0)
They were however both WMVs.
