Converting DV project to HDV
I’ve inherited a project which was shot on HDV.
The person who edited it digitised the footage in as DV non-anamorphic.
He then created a timeline which was DV 720 x 576. He then letterboxed the non-amorphic picture inside the DV 720-576 so it appears in the right ratio but with black bars top and bottom.
Why he did this, I have no idea.
Soooo… I’ve changed the sequence settings to HDV 1040 x 1080 anamorphic. So now the clips are tiny inside the frame.
The project is offline, and I want to bring it back on line, but rather than digitising at DV I want to digitise at HDV. However, I can’t seem to change the format on the offline clips’ settings in the way I could with the sequence. So I don’t know how to bring in clips originally digitised as DV now as HDV but with same logging details so they just pop onto my newly HDV sequence.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Leon.

You need to change your Easy Setup to the appropriate HDV setting you want to capture to. Just changing the Sequence Settings does nothing in terms of your capture settings.
