ADOBE PREMIERE EDITING QUESTION....(IT'S Simple, I Promise!)...
 

Not sure how to word it. When working on a full sized video, (720 x 480) the preview monitor shows a larger area of video than the final product. Example, when I put a small title in the corner of the video it is choped off in the final product. Is there any way to keep the full screen as the final product???

Nope... that isn't anything to do with your end, but rather the nature of standard TVs. Most of them cut off anywhere between 5 and 15% of the edges (either because they blow the picture up too large or because the have a frame around the screen that block the image).

You need to set yourself up some "safe" lines and work within those areas.

thanks, appreciate it. it has two guide lines when creating title, I just hate to lose the size of the picture - :mad: especially having to re-render @ 2+ hours a render

2 hours for a render? You have other issues... possibly the way you are doing your logos is making your life WAY more difficult.

You have to stay within the guideline of the safe area, like someone else mentioned. For web video (MPEG/WMV) I normally add any text like watermarks (usually URLs) in the encoding process with Cleaner XL rather than when I render the movie as a DV AVI in Premiere. Saves some render time that way.

Not really...depening on the output file, something like this is totally normal.
