Answers.Body: <p>Go to the tab next to 'Load presets'. (Custom settings)
  You can only change the frame size when you select editing mode: Desktop.
  Now you can change the frame size/ratio to 640x360 or what ever size you want.</p>

  What you want to do is make a **sequence** with the same frame size as your source file (in Premiere and other NLEs your project doesnt have a specific frame size, as you can have multiple sequences with different frame sizes in one project)
  
  1. Open Premiere and Start a new Project (File > New > Project)
  2. Give the project a name and click ok (dont worry about any of the options)
  3. In the New Sequence window click Cancel - this will take you straight into the project without making a sequence
  4. Import your footage (file > Import)
  5. **Create a new Sequence from clip by either:**
     * **Dragging the footage down to the New Sequence icon** (in the project panel) OR
       ![New Sequence button](https://i.sstatic.net/bL7fX.png)
     * **Right click** on the footage and **select *New Sequence from Clip***
       ![New Sequence from Clip](https://i.sstatic.net/i16UL.png)
  
  This will create a sequence that matches the attributes of your footage (frame size, frame rate etc)
