converting timeline to anamorphic widescreen
I have a project that was shot in 24p dv framed for letterbox 16:9.
The timeline has up to five layers of video and thousands of clips.
I would like a way to “blow up” the entire project for anamorphic dv. Right now I can copy the entire timeline and paste into an anamorphic timeline but I need to enlarge and crop the image for 16:9. That’s not a problem, but it seems like I must do this individually for each clip. I am trying to avoid rendering the entire timeline and rerendering again for the widescreen version.
Is there a way to select the entire timeline and convert all the clips at once and then render just once?
Thanks!

It’s by nesting the 4:3 sequence into a 16:9 one.
Here’s a video tutorial that will help, but it’s not exactly what you are trying to do…
Remember when you’ve got a sequence nested in the new sequence you’ll need to control-click to load it into your viewer… or hit the ENTER key on your numeric keypad.
Anyway —
hope this helps:

CaptM,
Thanks, but I’ve tried this already and the problem is that I can’t apply the resize to the whole sequence because it keeps bringing me back to the original sequence and it’s underlying clips. IOW, there is no motion tab for the nested sequence, only for the individual clips in the original sequence.
Is there a filter that I can apply to all the clips to perform the resizing? Unfortunately, one can’t copy and paste motion attributes the way one can with filters.

Right… that is the problem. You need to bring it to the viewer… here’s how:
Once the nest is in the timeline, Control-Click and you’ll get a contextual menu… choose send to viewer. OR you can select the nest and hit the ENTER key on your numeric keypad.
Then once it’s in the viewer you can adjust the motion tab.
