Ok ok I know it's not Maya and this probably isn't the best place to be asking but im fresh out of ideas to be honest.

Im trying to make my showreel in Premiere but this problem is making it look completely naff.

The resolution of the project is 720 x 576 and so it the frames of the guy in red. The streaky background that I put in afterwards is 480 x 252 so I just scaled that to make it fit.

As you can see the image on the side 1 is how I want it but side 2 is how it's actually comming out.

So (as you can imagine) when it comes out it looks like his arms have been cut off. Not only that but it does look like it's not wide enought.

Does anyone here know Premiere well and could posibly help me out?

Cheers for your time.
