    Hi Lawrence,
    Is FC asks you to conform, is because if finding something different. Audio, Fields-order?
    No idea.

    I can’t find anything different… I’m pretty much a default setting guy!

    And when I copy from one identical time line to the other, it drops the Aspect Ratio down to 4:3

    The only solution I’ve come across is to export from the time line and create a new .mov file, with exactly the same settings, and then re-import that to the new time line.

    I haven’t tried cut and pasting that from one timeline to another yet.

    Try “Remove Attributes: Basic Motion/Distort.”.

    Hmm… well that did have an effect. Just not the one I hoped for. After removing the attributes and then copying and pasting into another time line… exactly the same sequence setting… it changed the aspect ratio to a rather long and thing one instead of the squat and square one!

    Ah… nope… I read that wrong… the sequence setting I copied from was 1440 and not 1920!

    How that happened I do not know! The fairies crept in and changed it…

    And yep… Remove attributes… remove Distort!

    How that got in there in the first place is a mystery but that’s the solution!

    Thanks

    why is the sequence setting meant to be set at 1080i if it’s shot on progressive?

    please help. i’m getting horizontal lines through all of my footage and can not work out how to set the right sequence setting?
