Is there a way to set my own resolution on Premiere?

The clips I'm using for my AMV are all 640 x 408. I cropped out subs with VDub, and not wanting image distortion, I decided to go for the widescreen look. However, Premiere (6.0) seems to be set so that you're forced to use one of their pre-set settings, all of which distort the images considerably. I tried for a custom setting, but none of them let you set your own resolution.

How do I get around this?

I have 6.5 and it certainly allows you to set your own resolution, and I doubt there's that much difference between versions.

File - New Project - Custom...

Then look for Frame Size under video settings in the dialog box.

Nevermind, found it out.

Apparently, the program forces you to work in pre-set resolutions, but when I export it to a movie file, I can set whichever resolution I want.

Thanks for the help, anyway.

That sounds like a bad idea. Your editing and export settings should be identical.

I have 6.0 and can vouch this also. When you create a new project and select custom make sure you deselect the box that says 4:3 Aspect.
