Is there any way to rescale stills imported at default project size (720 x 576)?

[Mike Velte]

Make sure “Default scale to frame size” is deselected in Preferences>General prior to importing the stills.
Then;

You probably cant see the bounding box around the still in the Program monitor…the stills are so huge. An easy method to resizing stills in the timeline is to select one and in the Effect Controls palette, change the scale to 25-35%, then select the remaining stills in the timeline and choose Edit>Paste Attributes. Make sure the stills are the same size to begin with. For 8 MP photos (3264X2448) 25% scale will leave enough in excess of 720 X 576 to do pan/scan AND still see and manipulate the bounding box in the Program Monitor.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that. Yes I have the bounding box unchecked, but the original project which was done an another computer had it checked for default size import, so when I imported the other person’s project, the stills came in reduced in size even though I had deselected the frame size restriction on my computer.

Select all of the stills that you want to resize and right click, deselecting “Scale to Frame Size”. You then have to scale them yourself.

Bingo. Thanks Steve. One never stops learning new things in this business.

Steve, is this a 2.0 feature? Not in 1.5?
