Editing video

Hiya Guys

Im at the stage now where I can start to edit the movie but when I import my file into Premier (With the default setting being 16:9 NTSC 720x480 – which is same as source material) it comes out as follows:



Now one way around this is to enlarge the video in the right manually using Premier’s drag tool but I don’t want to do this incase I accidently crop it to much or too little.

Now, a way of eliminating this is to have 4:3 as opposed to 16:9 in my premier default settings. But then all this does is look like you’r watching it on a 4:3 tv with the thick black bars, as opposed to the thinner black bars you get when you watch an anamorphic film on a 16:9 tv.

Any ideas why this happens like this?

It seems odd to say the least that you would extract 2:35:1 footage and then when compiling an edit, have 4:3 as your projected image.

Sorry about all the questions but i made the mistake a few years ago of not planning everything properly which meant my work now is only viewable on a really small resolution because i didnt back anything up properly!
