I'm trying to scale a video, actually a long sequence of .tif's, down to 90% in aspect ratio. Here's why; I've made a video that looks fine on a computer screen but now I need the video to go onto a DVD. Of course, television will cut off 10% of the image and I need the whole image to display. I've been able to scale the video down in After Effects but the final output looks terrible! If anyone knows how to scale the entire sequence to the final 90% size, in Adobe Premiere, I would really appreciate a step-by-step explanation of how to do it.

Thank you in advance!!!!!
 
Right click on your clip, select Video Options, Motion. You'll find a zoom option there.
 
Thank you for your suggestion, I've tried it but I can't seem to get the video to STAY that way. It shows the 90% in the MOTION window but when I close out of it the monitor window doesn't show at 90%, it's back at 100%!?!
 
When you preview your video, do you see an 'X' in the upper left-hand corner of your window? If you do, you're not seeing the rendered version.

From your replies, it sounds like you believe that you have rendered your project---I'm just double-checking. And you've changed the whole segment to 90%, front to end?

If you are rendering your video, and it does not retain your zoom levels, I'm not quite sure what the problem may be. I use Premiere 6.5 in Win98SE, and have not had issues with video motion settings during rendering.
