Premiere Pro - Encoding to Windows Media Format

[foochuck]

Hello,

When I convert my Premiere Pro edit to a Windows Media file (WM9) and playback the .wmv file I see the edges of the screen whenever I have images up (the edges of the images go further then video and aren't cropped like they are in the Premiere Pro editing window). This only shows up when I used images and move them around (for example when I have a title on screen above the image I can see the image extend past the title). Is there any way to get the video to crop the way that a MPEG-2 video or MPEG-1 file would? My project size is NTSC 720 x 480 . Some of the images I'm using are up to 2000 pixels in size so they extend beyond 720 width and 480 height.

Thanks

Foo

I don't normally render to WMV so I don't know its limitation, but you could try to render your project to DV-AVI or better yet Uncompressed AVI. Then import the renderd video into the Timeline and export to WMV.
