Part 4. Knowledge about Auto Reframe

1. What are video aspect ratios?

The video aspect ratio refers to the relation of the width with respect to its height. Denoted by x: y, where x refers to the width and y refers to the height, this number is not the values but the ratio between them. Aspect ratio and resolution go hand-in-hand and for every value of aspect ratio, there are several compatible resolutions.

Multiple factors decide the aspect ratio of a video like a platform on which it will be posted, the playback device, the purpose and content of the video, and more. Since the majority of the video content at present is used for live streaming the most widely used aspect ratio is 16:9 which is a wide rectangle. 16:9 aspect ratio is also used as default settings by the majority of the video capturing devices as well as video players. Most of the social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others also use a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The best resolution that goes with this aspect ratio is 4K or 3840 X 2160 pixels.

2. Set to frame size Vs scale: What are the differences?

While adjusting the video settings in Adobe Premiere, you will come across two options- Set to Frame Size and Scale to Frame Size. Though both these functions look similar, in actual they are not. Both these functions are used when you want the videos and the mages to scale to fit inside the sequence size.

The Set to Frame Size feature will set the Scale of the file in the Effect Controls to an extent that the image fits in the frame. The pixels remain intact in this method and thus further rescaling can be done without any issues.

The Scale to Frame Size option will do the resampling of the file at the sequence size. That means if your file has a width that is double that of the sequence, the function will reduce the file by 1/4th of the original size and the scale will be 100%. Using Scale to Frame Size further will result in degrading the quality.

In terms of computer power and strain on the system, Scale to Frame size reduces the strain while Set to Frame Size uses more power.
