Program Monitor aspect ratio in CS$

[Ann Bens]

Have you tried rebooting?

Check your sequence settings (Sequence>Sequence Settings).

Hi Mike:
Checked these but all video options are “greyed” except Display Format.Greyed Aspect Ratio is showing “DI/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.21) Which is exactly what I DON’T want! Seems there’s no way to change this. Original was shot 4:3 and Source Monitor shows this correctly. Other , older projects, show Program monitor as 4:3.
Very strange. Any Suggestions.

Regards
Richard

There is no other way for this (16:9) to happen other than it was accidentally selected as the sequence format. Make a new sequence using the correct seq settings and then copy all the clips from the 16:9 seq and paste them into the new 4:3 seq.
Bitter pill to swallow but it has been a human clicking errror not the software. 😉
let us know how the copy paste to the new seq goes.

Forget all my previous ramblings. I set the original Sequence to the wrong format. I think the good bottle of Red wine with dinner had some influence. Must learn not to try and edit after dinner!! BG

New (correctly set up) Sequence cured the problem.
