Peru Bob Mar 13, 2014 10:15 AM (in response to Lone Lobo)Is the title the same size as the sequence setting?

Lone Lobo Mar 13, 2014 10:17 AM (in response to Peru Bob)Yes, as stated in the original email,
”I have tried changing the title tool dimensions to match both the timeline and the original clip dimensions, but to no avail. ”

3. Re: A track matte issue of perplexing dimension
Lone Lobo Mar 13, 2014 11:01 AM (in response to Lone Lobo)I think I may have discovered what is happening, but it is too early to be definitive. The form is a scanned image that was cropped in photoshop and saved as a jpg. The clip is a .jpg that is non-standard timeline format. When I view properties it shows as being huge (1664x2328)....BUT, I've repositioned and resized it to show the left side of the form. The key is being applied to the (1664x2328) jpg but that jpg is on a 1280x1080 (1.5 pixel aspect raio for P2) Timeline. So when I move the .jpg form to show the left side better, the edge of the .jpg limits the edge of the key. AND, the humongous size of the .jpg is in effect shrinking the video sized text box from the titler.
So, my solution is to:
1) Import the giant jpg to the timeline and position/size it where I want it to be.
2) Export that frame from the timeline as another jpg. That gets me a .jpg at the resolution of the timeline.
3) Replace 1st jpg (on video track 2) with 2nd jpg(exported from the timeline)
4) Apply Track Matte Key and select key source
4) Make Text box and put in timeline, lower the opacity of the bottom video track and Bob's your uncle.
However, I would like to animate the giant jpg with keyframes, in order to move around on the form and then highlight areas as above but without going thru all the export/import/etc. hassle. Anyone know of an easier way in Premiere? Would an adjustment layer present all the same issues I've been having with the (non-standard size)jpg as a track matte key?
MY APOLOGIES TO PERU BOB. I had checked both the timeline size AND all the video clips size, but forgot that the forms had been scanned rather than shot in camera. Thanks Bob for making me look at all those sizes again. YOU are da bomb!

Richard M Knight Mar 13, 2014 11:05 AM (in response to Lone Lobo)You could try nesting your original picture and applying the track matte to that.

Ann Bens Mar 13, 2014 11:19 AM (in response to Richard M Knight)Yes an scale both pictures down in that nest and not in the main timeline.
Then you do not need to make an export frame.
