Copying mixed clips to new sequence
Hi guys,
I’m having some trouble.
I have one sequence (1920×1080 square) which I have been using to build a series of chapters of video. Each time I’ve finished a chapter I’ve copied to a new sequence and kept a master sequence with all chapters.
As I’ve built, I’ve used a mix of 1440×1080 anamorphic video with 1920×1080 still images. both appear right without the need to change distort settings or anything.
However, as I’ve now just reviewed the individual chapter sequences for a batch export, I’ve noticed that they are skewed; the video is very stretched, but the still images appear correctly. OR if I change sequence settings, video is correct and Still images squashed.
Any thoughts on this before I go and manually change the distortion on hundreds of clips…? Please?
Many thanks in advance!!
Adam

What are your sequence settings for the final sequence you have everything in or are you batch exporting out the 1920×1080 and 1440×1080 sequences separately?
When you copy and paste clips from one sequence size to another you have to change the distortion/motion settings for the copied clips as Final Cut only automatically does it when you Insert/Overwrite in an original clip. You can quickly change the distort settings of the imported clips by just fixing one clip, copying it, then selecting all the other imported clips and paste attributes Basic Motion, Distort and Aspect.
