Aspect ratio of video during import is "scrunched"

I usually work with 4k or 2.7k video from my gopro and have no problems with this. But yesterday I recorded in 1080p. I edited the footage in adobe premiere elements an exported in 1080p. When I import the footage into VIRB, the footage is scrunched, meaning that it now has horizontal letterboxing. Everything is artificially tall and off. I think it is changing the video from 16:9 to 4:3. Why? How can I fix this? I will post up example footage in a bit. In the meantime you can look at this guy's screenshots. I'm having the exact same problem as this guy: https://forums.garmin.com/forum/mac-windows-software/windows-software/1334085-virb-editor-video-aspect-ratio-changed
