LONG STORY, im SORRY! BUT i need Help please!

i'm trying out this new program [new to me] Adobe Premiere CS5 because my brother told me its better than MAGIX Movie Edit Pro..When i imported my video clips to adobe it seemed to zoom in on the video? I used to be able to see the persons legs, the grass, and the sky in the shot but now i cant, wth? I thought to myself maybe its just the play back video in the editor and when i export it, it will be back to 1920x1080 but its not! [Video is from a game BTW]

On Magix Movie Edit when i imported a clip it would Auto ask me to resize the video to fix the screen nicely and great quailty too and it did!

It's hard to explain so ill LINK a couple pictures of what it SHOULD be and what it SHOULD NOT be.

=====================HERE ARE LINKS! ==============================

What it Should Be -->

What it SHOULD NOT Be! -->

http://limepic.com/img/2012/06/19/MREv3.png Copy&Paste instead because it comes out weird on the forums!

Adobe made it that small --^

IF YOUR KNOW HOW TO FIX, PLEASE HELP!

THANKS

Sorry again, I just started using Adobe! I hope this is the right place to post.

Thank You!

If your clip is zoomed in in the Program Monitor (the one one the right) it means your sequence settings do not match your footage.
If you do not know which setting to choose to set up a sequence
drag a clip into the New Item button. See screendump.
It will create a sequence that matches your footage.

There is also a possibility you set your Monitor to 100% instead of fit.

IF YOUR KNOW HOW TO FIX, PLEASE HELP!

1. Open Premiere Pro
2. Hit F1
3. Read the instructions on how to use the program. Go from beginning to end, don't skip around. Try each new thing as you learn it. Look up any words you don't understand.
