Conform to sequence – keeping keyframes
I have changed the aspect ratio of a sequence I am working on. I found I needed to use “conform to sequence” to get the media in the right aspect ratio. This causes me to lose all my keyframes – any way to get the media into the proper aspect ratio without losing the keyframes?
Thx

What exactly did you do?

I changed the settings on my sequence to improve the resolution of screen captures – see attached. Then I needed to change the media to conform to sequence.

I don’t get it. 720×404? Why not just export from the 960×720 timeline? How does going from a bigger frame size improve your resolution?

We are finishing with 720×404 videos.
I have screen capture from Camtasia at 1280×720 & the only way it doesn’t look like crap on export is to use the 2nd set of settings. I tried just about everything else I could think of.

But that doesn’t mean you should edit 720×404.

How are you exporting?

Exporting using all current settings. The problem is when you encode a 1280×720 or 960×720 export at 720×404 (our video player size), the camtasia screen capture looks awful. When I cut in a sequence that is 720×404, what you see is what you get in resolution. Even when the screens look clean in a 1280×720 export, on encode they get fuzzy.
So the solution that I found was changing to 720×404 & Animation codec to keep the screen captured text clean.
If you have any thoughts on things to try, I’d appreciate it!

Export your movie as File > Export > Quicktime Movie at current settings leaving recompress all frames and make self contained UNchecked.
Bring that movie in to Compressor and make whatever codec you need at 720×404 and in the frame controls set the resize to best.

OK will try that. Part of the problem is that I couldn’t even get the text looking clean at 960×720 – will work on that. Thx.

What format are the camtasia records? I know you said 1280×720, but what codec and frame rate?
How are you monitoring your footage?

I believe they were in 1280×720 to capture most of the screen – I was going to try to get the camtasia in 96×720 & see if that helped.
