How to use Vimeo (or YouTube) full screen using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3?

I've tried a couple of things with no luck. First I started a new project with Widescreen 48khz in Premiere, editing mode DV 24p, timebase 23.976. I tried every aspect ratio and the best I could come up with was this:

Then, I tried a new project in Standard 48khz. Much better results but I'm still not using the full screen.

I rendered on 1280 x 720, using Windows 9

Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried looking around but I couldn't find a solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

Let's see...You said you you edited it in DV mode, 24p....
That is why.
It is not HD, so it is not going to fill an HD screen.

:beer:
 
What is the aspect ratio on the raw footage for the wedding, because it looks like you shot in 4:3 and just dropped it into a 16:9 timeline. Do your exported quicktime files have the black bars on the sides of both videos.

Also, check your cross dissolves on the wedding video.
 
Yeah, I definitely messed up the aspect ratios probably when capturing the tape and that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid next time.

I'm not trying to fix the wedding (it looked fine on a TV and I did it for free) but if possible I'd like to fix the other video to make it widescreen (I don't mind lines in top and bottom).

TMY, I'm probably capturing at a certain bad ratio and dropping it on a 16:9 like you mentioned.

So, could you give me any tips on how should I correctly capture and do this next time?

I didn't know HD was needed to fill the whole screen on YouTube. If that's the case, can I make it widescreen?

Thanks again, sorry I'm such a noob, I've never done this before.
 
ok i see what your doing, you are probably capturing a 4:3 video and putting it on a widescreen project, while the pixel aspect ratio is messed up how. so instead of like 1.2121 it would be 0.9 or some ****. my vegas just crashed so i can't try it out to find out how you got it messed up like that but play around with the settings.
 
gabge, that's exactly what I want, that looks good. So you don't need HD to fill the whole screen (for normal quality).

I will give that a try but how should I start the new project, in standard or widescreen for Premiere?
 
For your next shoot, film in "squeeze" mode
-Use a 16:9 widescreen project in Premiere, with widescreen pixel aspect ratio
-Capture your footage
-Drag the footage to the timeline - it should fill the whole frame. If it doesn't, right click the footage in the "project" panel, right click and select "interpret footage" select the pixel aspect ratio and change it to the same widescreen setting that you used in the project.
-Edit away
-When you are done, export your video to whatever format you want using square pixels (1.0 aspect ratio) in an appropriate size (1280x720 for "HD" frame size on Vimeo and youtube or 854x480 for NTSC SD)
Adobe Media encoder on Premiere pro 2 and CS3 can give you a preview of how the output will look too - use it for a quick "eyeball test" to make sure it looks how you want it :)
