How To Fit a Video to the Frame

[donnal41458253]

Sorry for the basic question, I'm new to Premiere Pro and I can't find a good answer on Google.

I have a normal sized video that I need to edit and upload for Snapchat, so the size needs to be 1080x1920. I created a new sequence with the correct dimensions, now I just need to know how to make my video fill the frame. Clicking "scale to frame size" did nothing. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

What is a "normal sized video" - what is the size of what you are editing?

If you use "Scale to Fill" on export it will help to reduce the black bars

- Warning! this MAY make your video look "odd" since you are "stretching" things

The video I'm editing is 1280x720.

I guess the better question would be is there any way I can size it into a Snapchat ad video without it looking stretched

1080x1920 means portrait, 1280x720 is landscape. So is 1920x1080.

Hence the odd looking image.

Do you need portrait or landscape.

The video needs to be portrait, size 1080x1920, 9:16 aspect ratio in order to upload it for Snapchat.

I would edit in a project sequence that matches the actual video, and change my size/orientation when exporting

I have never had to do what you are doing, but I would also expect a LOT of distortion due to the change

I see. Thanks for the responses guys!
