Help required. Video Resolution recording problems

[3xcalibur]

Hey LTT forum,

I am having difficulties editing footage in premiere after recording it.

Whenever I try to watch a video in media viewer, a private video on youtube made for testing, e.t.c. I have these black bars around my screen.

I assume this has something to do with my resolution when I use shadow play to record off my monitor recording in 1920 by 1080 and all the video formats being about a 420-1080p resolution.

Please help be telling me how to change the recording settings, OR by telling me how to change the resolution in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Thank you.

did you try starting a brand new Premier file? I know that fixes weird resolution issues for me sometimes.

Okay, 

 

So I'm guessing you got your issue fixed, but just in case someone comes along looking for an answer to changing settings in Premiere:

 

A new Timeline (File new Timeline or CTRL+N) will automatically ask if you want to conform to whatever the framerate, resolution, etc. of the first video file that you place on it, regardless of original settings. This is a good reason to place your primary or most important video on the timeline first.

 

But lets say you screwed up and need to fix things later.

 

Go To:

Sequence

Sequence settings

 

This will open a new window in Premiere that will allow you to change settings. Keep in mind that there is "Video" settings and "Video Preview" settings that can technically have different res settings.
