Hey guys,
I really appreciate all the accurate responses
Yeah, I was opening the project with the wrong size. I was looking all over to change this and couldn't find it.
For the search users, when I open up a project, I didn't see the other tab called 'custome settings'. In there you can actually change the size of the frame size. Seems like you have change the editing mode to 'videos for windows'.
Once again thanks for the help guys.
