Once you’ve opened Premiere Pro, navigate up to ‘File’ and select ‘New -> Sequence…’ How to Set the Aspect Ratio for a New Projectįirst, I’ll walk you through exactly how to set up your aspect ratio by creating a new sequence in Premiere Pro. This is an important distinction because it means that a certain aspect ratio can be universal, no matter the actual size of the medium. It doesn’t matter what unit you are using, whether it’s pixels or inches, the shape or ratio will remain the same. So, if you have an image that’s 16 units wide, it will be 9 units tall. This means that for every 16 units of width, there are 9 units of height. For example, the most common aspect ratio is 16:9 or what’s also commonly referred to as a ‘widescreen’ aspect ratio. The numbers that make up an aspect ratio describe the width to height ratio of an image. The sizes can vary and keep the same dimensions or overall ‘shape’. Here are some common aspect ratios, but notice there are no exact sizes. The aspect ratio is more accurately described as the ‘shape’ of the image. The aspect ratio of an image or a video clip is often thought of as the size of the image, this is incorrect.
