Video size changing when switching from Premiere Pro to After Effects?

Post by knage » Tue Nov 15, 2016 8:13 pm

Hey peoples,

So I've been using Vegas for quite some time, and I wanted to broaden my editing capabilities so I decided to try switching to Premiere and After Effects. Right now I'm trying to figure out everything I did in Vegas and do it in PP and AE.
Separate from that, one problem I have encountered is when moving project files from PP to AE is that the video sizes change so there is a major crop out:

That is how it should look

This is the cropping that happens when I switch applications.
I know that when I double click on a scene in the timeline that it opens up a new layer tab where I see the uncropped footage:

Image

That may be irrelevant.

But the issue still stands, is there a way to fix it so that they are the same? I've tried resizing but the canvas size doesn't seem to match up either way:

Image

If it helps, when I opened my Premiere files at first, I dropped in an anime that was 1080x720, so any other that was 720x480 was smaller in the canvas box so I had to resize so that it fits up well
Image

maybe that has something to do with it when switching to AE? I don't know, but the cropping happens with all scenes regardless anyway.

If anyone knows thanks for the help! And sorry for all the images I just want to show visuals so my explanation is good.

Well, I had explained in the initial post but basically the video size in the AE preview window was bigger than the one in the Premiere window so everything was zoomed in. What I had found is that the answer was simply that everything was zoomed in because the canvas size was at 100%(or big enough that it couldn't fit in the space provided). After realizing that I simply changed the canvas size and I could see everything again.
Currently I'm beginning to make a short Clannad AMV to practice using Premiere and AE together.
Doubt this was needed for anyone but thanks for commenting!

Just realized that all the picture links may all be broken, probably due to me doing a roundabout way to link images. This thread should really be removed still since it is more useless now.

It's not useless. Someone else could have the same problem, read this thread, and find out how to fix it the same way you did.
