  Change a sequences’ settings after an edit is made

  Posted by Lucy Moon on February 14, 2007 at 11:22 pm

  Hi there,

  I am inheriting a project, shot in 16:9 DV but edited in a 4:3 sequence. I would like to make the sequence 16:9. How do I do this to an existing edit, it seems to squish the footage wrongly when I modify the sequence settings.

  thanks in advance.

  Always dupe the sequence before you start mucking around with settings!

  Change the sequence settings to 16:9, then drag and select all the video clip son the timeline, opt-click Remove Attributes.

  This will bring up a dialog box, asking you which attributes to remove. Select Distort (from memory…) and apply. This should arc everything back to 16:9…
