    Cropping doesn't affect Output?

    onefiftymph Community Member

      Beginner here. Imported a 640x352 mp4, sliced a couple of dozen pieces out of it and pushed the rest together - my first video, a painstakingly assembled masterpiece.  After exporting, I realized Premiere set the Output to 720x480 - floating in field of black - I don't know why. Googling, Youtubing and reading how to crop is an exercise in frustration.

       

      I managed to crop and reposition 1 of the 30 clips with Crop Effects but the Output is still the same. How to crop the entire project? Do I have to crop each segment? Do I have to start all over? How to change the Output from 720x480 to 640x352? And how to start a new project with this dimension? Dimensions don't seem to be available at the beginning of a project (or any other time).

       

      thanks for trying to help!
