Changing clip scale, duration, speed, or interlacing
View clip properties in a tool tip
❖ Position your cursor over the target clip in the Timeline panel.
A tool tip displays the clip name, its start and end points relative to the sequence, and its duration in the sequence.
The tool tips also display changes you have made to speed (in percentages) and audio gain (in decibels). If you
applied Frame Hold to a clip, the tool tip also displays the type of frame hold you applied.
Scale assets
When you drag an asset into a sequence, by default Adobe Premiere Pro preserves its frame size and centers the asset
in the program frame. Alternatively, you can automatically scale imported assets to the project’s default frame size.
You can rescale the asset without distortion if its pixel aspect ratio has been interpreted correctly.
Scale assets manually
1 Drag the asset into a sequence and select the asset.
2 Open the Effect Controls panel.
3 Click on the arrow next to the Motion effect to reveal the motion controls.
4 Click on the arrow next to the Scale control within the Motion effect to reveal the Scale slider.
5 Move the Scale slider left or right to decrease or increase the size of the frame.
Scale assets automatically
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
2 Select Default Scale To Frame Size.
3 Click OK.
