copy and paste ?

Or import the previous project inside your current one.

The problem is that I was given a DVD (4:3) to prepare the subs – and I made a project using the standard DV project option and after the client checked the work he sent me a Digibeta in 16:9 to do the final output. As I cannot convert the 4:3 project to “widescreen” I believe the best option is to bring the Digi into a Widescreen project and be able to import the subtitles I created for the DVD 4:3 copy and then only have to adjust the vertical position.

Or is there a better way to handle this?

Can’t think of a better way right now…

Thanks Vince. I came out of edit* and I remember there was a tool there were one could import parts of one project into another but I guess Adobe has not progressed to that point yet – maybe CS5…?

[Vince Becquiot]

Just to make sure, you can import the other project and choose which sequences you want.

That is an interesting idea. i will look at HELP on CSd4 – was not aware that one could import one project into another. If indeed all the elements come with it – that certainly will be the solution.

Thanks for the tip. I will post when after I try this.

My suggestion would be to take the original project and save a copy…

Then (in the duplicate project) take out all the assets but the titles and use the project manager to trim it.

Then import the duplicate project into the new format project, and use the existing sequence as a source in the new project…you can uniformly scale the title sequence and drop it in…and you still have all the individual title documents in the project for editing if necessary.
