when I scale an image the sizes changes on export

[Billy Bumbags]

I'm trying to get a clip to be in the same aspect ratio as the rest of the project. Everything is in 16.9 except for two clips. I used the zoom effect set to 16.9 to change the size of the image on these two clips, then I went in to scale and matched the black bars up to the rest of the project. In preview it all looks seamless. When I export to avi, the black bars are higher up than I set them - in other words the clips seem to zoom in on export - anyone now how I can export this project so it does what it shows in the preview?

I could not reproduce the problem. Could you please post some screen shot? Or upload the project files on DropBox or Google Drive. You can remove the clips without problem and save as a smaller project.

Basically when I use scale it looks how I want on th epreview - but when exported it's reverted back how the clip originally looked before applying the effect. I'll get some screen shots put up later whn I get home. Thanks for your help

Using 4.22, two still clips were tested several times, using crop, scale and zoom effects to size the second clip to exactly match the first, with various vert/horiz borders.

Export showed the same result as preview, so I couldn't duplicate your result.
