Background, I have an Audio Studio which I have built myself , and am fairly well versed with digital and analouge Audio but I'm a total novice with DV Video, also my gramma and spelling is below average. - my question below

I have been trying!- to produce video clips for a series of songlets I have produced, and written, I have a DVX100P PAL panasonic - with Anamorphic len, NOW this much I understand, An Anamorphic lens is not 16:9 exactly - yes? I have 4:3 ratio chips thus the lens pushes the the image from anamorphic onto the 4:3 chip-yes? thus I keep most or all of the vertical Resolution - yes? OK PLEASE help- "remember Audio -good. Video -nowhere." When I import From DV over IEEE 1394 - the image into AVID or Adobe Premiere pro is CUT! - "sorry..." cut verticaly .... thus it has two black lines down the left and right of the picture. I have imported with 16:9 pal - 760 x 680 i think . wait a minute .. DO i have to import 4:3 "just thought of it" and then cut the top and bottom. wait up that wouldn't work, I DON'T KNOW. HELP I have tryed looking on all the forums on the NET "over exgaderation" and can not find anything or anyone with the same dillema "making me feel sad and insecure" the images look pretty good but i can't see them because my out put is IEEE to the camera then out the Analouge to a dogie TV "video Nowhere" MY DV storm II is on the way. please help every moment i don't do this is a moment lost and gone forever. What do i have to do, should i use AVid or Premiere PRO.-cut left and right!. I want to run the clips through After Effects but , i need to figure this out first " i'm rambeling now arn't I?" sorry PLease help - and feel my love wash over you. ...... thank you.
