    [paresh khot] “all timeline settings are in same (HD) format…”

    They aren’t all in the same aspect ratio I’ll bet. In what you are describing, one is 1920×1080 and another is 1440×1080.

    Once you set the distortion on one clip…copy that and paste attributes, DISTORT to the other clips.

    Go to your sequence settings in the menu. This will show you the details of your currently displayed sequence.

    Alternatively you can see the sequence details in your project window (top left window with all sequences, media, etc.) by scrolling to the right.

    Shane’s comment above will then very quickly help you configure your footage to the desired size and ratio.

    Or just copy and paste it, highlight it, go to modify, and select conform to sequence.
