"Set to Frame Width"
We import a lot of stills (stock images) into 1080 sequences. Most of these are not 16:9.
We can use "Set to frame size", but then need to scale them up to fit width.
It would be helpful to have the option to "Set to Frame Width".

@Richard Herlihy - have a look at the comment from Sir Ivan below. Excalibur does that (and a lot more)

Surprised this is still not yet a feature (or, preferably as suggested, "touch from inside" / "fill frame"). This is basically a Windows 95 wallpaper level of functionality! 😁
In the meantime, is there another way that I can achieve this in Premiere? (E.g. a preset or some kind of script?).
I had thought about, e.g., creating a Photoshop action for batch processing images I use to 2160 height, and then a Premiere preset for scaling them to 50% -- but this is a little messy from my perspective (and I'd prefer to have the performance benefits of working with smaller images / no-higher-than original pixel density where possible).

AE has this for ages. Cmd+Alt+W and Cmd+Alt+G, scales footage to fit height or width of comp. Simple. Please bring this to PR.

Greetings Fellow editors,
I developed new extension: EXCALIBUR. It has "Fill Frame" command!
And you can assign shortcut to this command.But it does much more than that, learn more here:

Set Full Frame with Crop is all I want.

I had to deal with this on a 1920x1080 timeline where someone had filmed broll all in DCI 4K, which meant it was scaling automatically to 46% instead of 50%.

It is worth noting that "set to frame size" has a bug where one pixel will show around the perimeter. That would need to be fixed for this suggestion to be worthwhile. https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/34818967-set-to-frame-size-is-inaccurate

I would suggest having three options.
- Fit to Width
- Fit to Height
- Fill Frame (stretch both height and width to match those of the sequence) -

Agree that they need some better options. I think fit to fill would cover more bases. I often have the opposite problem where 4096x2160 footage will result in a silly amount of letterboxing in a 16:9 sequence.

Yes, but maybe a "fit height" and/or "fill frame" option on top of your suggestion would be even better.

Yes, just copy After Effects' options.

Also great when using editing DCI footage in a 16:9 timeline. Fit to height doesn't work, you have to go in and manually scale.

And it's corollary, Set to Frame Height.
