clip changes aspect ratio when dragged into sequence
My problem is thus:
I’m working with 2 camera angles on DV tape from 2 different DV cameras. The videogrpher mistakenly shot one angle in 16:9 and the other in 4:3. I have both angles synced to work with and slapped a matte bars over the 4:3 one to match the look of the 16:9 one.So far so good.
I had to re-digitize part of the 16:9 tape due to missing footage in the project. It looks fine in the Viewer, but when I drag or overwrite any part of it into my sequence the Canvas shows it as squished from top to bottom and stretched from left to right. Then, when I try to do the same with other footage from that tape (but from the former capture) which had spliced in fine before, it has this same problem!
Any ideas?
BTW my sequence settings were set to be adjusted to the incoming footage, so that shouldn’t be a factor in this problem, right?
THANK YOU

Load the bad shots into the viewer and make sure that distort is set to “0” in the motion tab.

Yes that’s it!
I loaded the bad clips from the timeline into the Viewer (by double-clicking it). Then in the “motion” tab I slid the “aspect ratio” bar to “0” from “-33.33” where it was set to. First I tried setting the 4 settings above that (in “motion” tab) to 0 but that yielded a completely blacked-out frame. So I undid until they went back to their settings.
Thanks a lot for your prompt and useful help. Do you know why it defaulted to that -33.33 setting?
