  • Changing easy setups for existing sequence

    Posted by Marta Podowska on May 12, 2010 at 1:26 pm

    Hello,

    I created sequence with the wrong Easy setups – PAL and DV , and wrong sequence settings:
    frame Size: 720×576 CCIR 601/DV PAL (5×4)
    Pixel Ratio: PAL – CCIR 601 (720×576)
    Field: Lower
    Editing: 25
    Compressor: DV-PAL

    When i transfered files it didn’t ask me to change the settings so i sterted editing without changing anything.
    Afetr a while i figured that i did it wrong and i change it to the proper settings;
    Easy setups:
    Format: HD Rate:25
    Use: DVCPROHD – 1080i50

    And sequence settings:
    Frame size: 1920×1080 HDTV 1080i(16×9)
    Pixel: Square
    Field: Upper
    Editing: 25
    Compressor: XDCAMEX 1080i50 (35mb/s VBR)

    Now the video looks very small in the frame.
    Is there any chance to change it?
    I hope it is, cause otherwise i will have to start editing from the beginning :/
    Please help if you can

    Try selecting all the clips in the sequence, then right click on one to select “remove attributes”. Remove any Motion settings… will likely fill the frame then.

    Changing the Easy Setup does not change the settings of the open sequence (you can have sequences of many formats within the same project).

    Either change the settings of the open sequence uding “Sequence Settings” or create a new empty sequence with the correct settings (now that you have changed the Easy Setup) and copy/paste all the clips into it.
    You’ll probably still have to remove attributes, as Jerry said.
