  • 16:9 footage in 4:3 timeline by mistake and then correcting?

    Posted by Dominic Elliot on January 27, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    Hi, I’ve been editing my 16:9 footage in a sequence not set to anamorphic, ie a 4:3 sequence. If I change the settings of the sequence, then it doesn’t suddenly fix the situation, but instead squeezes the footage into another letterbox. How can I move my edited sequence back into full screen 16:9 without having to start again in a new anamorphic sequence?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    paste to new sequence
    highlight all clips
