Premiere Pro Image Resize Problem

well that's what it is... scaling... just do it horizontally and not vertically.

Believe me, if the solution were that simple, this problem would not exist. This appears to be a function of Premiere, not Photoshop. I know that the files I'm bringing in are 720x480; the change is happening when they are imported into Premiere. I am just unclear as to why.

Well... 720x480 with 1.0 PAR and 720x480 with 0.9 PAR come out to something different. As far as i can tell that's the why of it. And i'm not suggesting you resize in photoshop... scale the image horizontally in Premiere by (1/0.9) and see what happens.

Yes, I can adjust the scale width in Premiere, but I'm looking for the long-term solution if anyone has it (I would rather not re-scale every image I bring in...)

Your project settings (if you're using default) is 720x480 with a 0.9 PAR... any Image you bring in is defaulting to having a 1.0 PAR - that's why there's a difference. If you don't want to resize images, make your project 640x480 with a 1.0 PAR Your project settings (frame size AND PAR) need to match your video and your images or you're going to have to resize something.
