Can I change Sequence settings?
I just finished burning a 2-hr sequence to DVD, and happened to notice later that the sequence settings were inadvertently preset to 23.976fps. I wanted 29.97. And, all assets and footage used in timeline were intentionally formatted 720×480 at 29.97fps. In checking the details of Sequence settings, I discovered (as would be expected) the timebase=23.976fps; display format=24fps, and video codec=DV(24p). Not good! I wanted everything in 720×480 – 29.97.
Can I simply delete the Preview files, change my Sequence settings to 29.97, re-launch PPro, then re-render new previews, and DynLink to Encore for another DVD burn? Or is it going to be more complicated? Help please!

If you are in CS3 open a new project with correct settings then import the project you worked on and copy the original timeline’s contents and paste it into the Correct timeline made when you created the new project.
If you are in CS4, you can make a new sequence in the same project with the correct settings and copy all the contents from the original sequence and paste into the correct one.

Thanks, Jon! Shortly after submitting this post, it occurred to me to maybe try what your second suggestion was (CS4). But then I thought I’d wait to hear from the forum first. I don’t know Premiere well enough to know whether or not the media/footage becomes tainted with the 24fps settings upon placing it in the timeline. Obviously not — so thanks for your quick reply. Much less work with paste-copy.
