Question / Help Recordings' width skewed too thin

[felinoel]

A friend of mine told me to adjust the preview window in order to make the width not record thin but it looks perfectly fine in the preview window, here is a circle on the left in the preview window and the same circle on the right is what recorded with those previewed settings and you can see that it is skewed heavily for some reason and I have changed so many settings but can't find out the cause of the skewing.

This happens in more than one game too.

Using what player to play the videos back?

Using what player to play the videos back?

Woah you're right, that is so weird.
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro to get the above image but when I play it in VLC it looks fine...?

But... when I manually adjust the width using VLC's resizing capabilities it looks fine in Premiere Pro.

EDIT:
Also I don't want to have to manually adjust it every time, it ruins the quality and takes too much time.

Sounds like premiere is being stupid about things again.

Any idea how to fix it?
A certain recording format, a certain encoder? Because if it works fine when the video file has been manually adjusted then it has to be one of those causing it... maybe?

Have you tried other video software like avidemux to see if those load the video properly?

I will look into it but I would rather fix the settings to work with Premiere Pro.

Are you using a 16:9 sequence in Premiere? Because it looks like Premiere is set to a 4:3 and scaling the video accordingly

A good idea but no, I just even double checked to be sure I was in 16:9

Working off of this idea I tried a different recording format and .mov files seem to work perfectly!

Two issues with this:
The first being that avidemux doesn't appear to have any video editing capabilities?
The second being that I make these videos for Youtube and Youtube has VERY specific settings or else they will ruin the quality and idk how to get these settings for other video editers.

Cool thanks, I've started converting all of the mp4 videos I recorded to mov files but if too much quality is lost I will use this for the videos I've already recorded and then be sure to record in mov format from now on.
