This wikiHow teaches you how to adjust the frame size of a video clip in Adobe Premiere. To change a clip's frame size, you'll need to create a sequence from the clip and then edit the sequence's settings. Being able to change the frame size is especially handy when converting vertically-shot videos to a horizontal format (and vice-versa).

  1. You can double-click the project file on your computer to do so.
  2. If you haven't already done so, right-click the clip you want to edit in the project window and select New Sequence from Clip . [1]

  3. This displays the settings for your new sequence. [2]
  4. You will find the "Frame Size" fields in the upper area of the window. The aspect ratio will adjust automatically based on the frame size you set.
    • Enter the horizontal (width) value into the first box, and the vertical (height) value into the second box.
    • If you are unable to edit the resolution, try duplicating the sequence first. Click Cancel on the window, then right-click the sequence and select Duplicate . Now right-click the duplicated sequence, select Sequence Settings —you should be able to edit the sequence now.
    • Some common frame sizes are 1080 x 1920 (for HD vertical video), 1080 x 1080 (HD square video), and 1920 x 1080 (HD horizontal video).
  5. It's at the bottom-right corner of the window. The new frame size is now applied to your clip.
