Make proxies automatically get the correct aspect ratio
When proxies have a different aspect ratio from the original, it creates all kinds of problems when scaling, aligning and positioning clips.
It seems like in 2018 it should be possible for Premiere to read the aspect ratio of each original clip, and auto-match it.

a HUGE +1 to this request. I don't want to have to think about what aspect ratio my footage is when making a proxy. For anyone experiencing this, I wrote a quick blog post featuring a few free custom ingest presets for common aspect ratio to help with this issue, hope it comes in handy: https://meetmichaelhenry.com/blog/2019/10/5/creating-proxies-for-footage-of-any-aspect-ratio-in-premiere-pro

Yep, I would like to simply put my desired width (I make most of my proxies 1920) and have it automatically scale the height accordingly. If there's an extra row of pixels, just crop them, or offer the user suggestions on the next closest evenly divisible resolution.
This is what I do manually anyway, and once I do it for my main cameras (GH5 and GH5s) I don't have to do it again, but still a pain to figure out and create a new preset every time I edit footage from a new camera.

I think there are some technical difficulties involved with this one... but yes... having proxies at the wrong scale has caused me many problems, and resulted in me hardly using the feature.
While it may be difficult to create proxies in any given resolution, it should not be too difficult for those proxies to automatically stretch themselves into the correct aspect ratio.
