Codec Issue Emergency

You know I remember having to fix gaps in my sequence at some point, it was weird. I will try what you said and thanks again!

Hi Shane,
The videos are indeed NTSC 29.97. I cut and pasted them into a new sequence and they are green and playable. The problem is that they are not 16×9 but 4×3. If I change anything in the sequence to possibly fix this, it becomes un-rendered. How can I get this sequence back to filling a 16×9 screen again. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS!

By the way the DSLR footage scattered throughout is red in the render area, all other footage (most of it) is indeed green.

Oh audio is off when I cut and paste. OH NO

Highlight all the clips in the sequence and right-click and choose REMOVE ATTRIBUTES. Check BASIC MOTION and DISTORT.

And yes, things will be off. There will be a lot of fixing that needs to happen.

Hi Shane,
Me again, you have helped me so much, the sequence is looking awesome! The only thing left is cleaning up the audio and also the frame looks 16×9 but squished. How do I get it back to the original clip size? Can I cut and paste attributes from an original clip to the entire sequence? Thanks so much and have a great day!

Thanks Shane, I have a great looking sequence, the only issue is it is squished down a little in 16×9. How can I get it to be the size to fit a 16×9 screen. I promise this is the last question. THANKS!

[Shane Ross]

Play with the DISTORT numbers.
