Question

Batch editing image frame size in sequence ignores changes on every fourth clip

I'm creating a stop motion video and the photos I've imported were not initially fit to the frame size. I've tried to select all photos and clicked "Set image to Frame Size" and while this works for the majority of the slides, every 4th frame is left unadjusted. The images are able to be individually selected and adjusted, but I'm working with thousands of images and I can't feasibly go through and select the images that aren't co-operating. Each image is set to a duration of 1 frame and the aspect ratio of the sequence has been changed after importing the images to the sequence. I thought it may be an issue with the size of the set of photos I was editing, but I'm still encountering this issue when selecting smaller sets, or manually selecting the problem frames and batch editing those. I still find that the frames remain unedited unless I click on each individually and proceed with the set to frame size function. 

 

Is there any reason this might be happening or a setting that's causing this?

I believe there is a bug floating around regarding fit to frame.

I just tried it in (beta) 25.2.0 b65 and it worked fine both ways. Dropped 26 .tif files from the project to the existing 1080p timeline, and they all came in scaled when I had Fit to Frame in Preferences/Media, and then when I had set that to None, I dropped the 26 files into the timeline, selected them all and right-clip, Fit to Frame and all were set to frame size.

In preference\media you can select the default setting for scaling, maybe try using that with Fit to Frame. See what happens when you drop them all in.
