<p>However when I import and drag a new (and definitively confirmed 1080p) video to the timeline the preview shows a small black border on the left and right sides. I even removed the "Tile Safe Area" and "Action Safe Area" and the left/right black borders still appear.</p>

It seems that your 30p video has been recorded with PAR=0.75, which makes it 1440x1080, not 1920x1080. Still, this should not preclude it to properly render to 16:9 DAR. I have no idea what Premiere does not like. Also, just wondering, where did you get 30.00 fps video? From a smartphone?

@RustyCore "The input videos are recorded via Open Broadcast Studio" - the videos measure at 1920x1080 when played in Media Player Classic *without* the black border; how would I make sure OBS shoots it in true 1920x1080 then?

First you need to verify the params of your video using something like MediaInfo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo It may as well be 1920x1200 if this is native resolution for your monitor, then when resized to 1080 lines, you will get pillarboxing.

# Adobe Premiere wrong Aspect Ratio for 1080p video
