  Scale all clips

  Posted by Sam Ellens on March 25, 2010 at 4:07 am

  I’ve been working on a letterboxed DV MOV in an anamorphic timeline because I’m exhausted and not thinking straight. is there a way to scale all video in the timeline up to fill the anamorphic frame without doing it clip by clip?

  That’s no excuse. An editors work is never done, we’re never supposed to rest, and it’s why caffeine is one of the five essential food groups.

  Simply check the anamorphic box checked in Sequence>>Settings and, if necessary, make certain that the distort parameter is reset to 0 for all clips.

  or

  Copy everything from your present sequence into a new sequence that has the anamorphic box checked and, if necessary, make certain that the distort parameter is reset to 0 for all clips.

  Oh, and I almost forgot, all of your clips must have a check in the anamorphic column in the FCP browser as well.
