Trying to marry 16×9 and 4×3 movies in timeline without annoying distortion

[Scott Urner]

It worked for one clip, for one second.

But when I bring more clips in, now they’re distorted in all kinds of different ways.

Feels like I’m closer though.

Just select one of the modified clips in the timeline and copy. The select all the 4:3 clips in your timeline, right click one of them and select ‘paste atributes’ and then ‘basic motion’. That will paste your scale and distort (or was distort a second category? I don’t remember right now) settings to all the 4:3 clips and that way they should end up with the correct settings.

Uh, no… actually, its “bane”.

“bane” was once a very serious word. The Old English “bana” meant
literally “slayer” in the sense we now use “killer” or “murderer.”
Early on, the English “bane” was also used in the more general sense
of “cause of death,” and by the 14th century “bane” was used in the
specialized sense of “poison,” a sense which lives on in the names of
various poisonous plants such as “henbane” and “wolfbane.”

From this very literal “something that kills you” usage, “bane” by the
16th century had broadened into its modern meaning of “something that
makes life unpleasant, a curse.”

Haha thanks for the correction, and the interesting read about the words origin. You know what is not a good spell checker? Google search bar auto-fill suggestions.
