Hello all! This is my first post on this site as well as the first time trying to do much of anything with editing. I currently have Premiere 6.5 (saving up for Pro 2.0).
Well, I've run into problems on the very first step... capturing.
When I capture the footage from the camcorder (which was filmed in scene file setting 6 on the dvx 100a) Premiere squeezes the image. The viewing box is 16:9, but the image includes the original black bars therefore squishing the image to make it fit opposed to cropping out the black bars.
As I said, I'm very new to editing and I can't seem to find the answer in the book(s) that i've purchased (classroom in a book etc). I will continue to research the problem, but if anyone has tips, even steps from the very beginning on how to fix this, it would be very appreciated.
Thank you and I look forward to posting with you guys more often!
