Change Aspect Ratio of an edited project?

Hi all,

I messed up! I managed to do my whole project in 4:3 aspect ratio. The footage i edited was 16:9 so there were black bars on top and bottom of the footage while I edited. Then, I finished the project and now it’s surrounded by black bars when I try to play it in a 16:9 player. I should have just set the project to 16:9! I am a newbie and relied on some coworkers who knew more about this stuff to setup my project and we must have overlooked the aspect ratio settings.

Sigh. Is there anyway I can change the aspect ratio of all the work I’ve done on my movie? There has to be a trick! Super stressed at the moment.

Thanks,

    Right click on the sequence in the project window and select Sequence Settings. Adjust parameters.

    Might need to do some adjustments in the timeline.

    Thank you! I ended up going into the Sequence Settings, changing it to 1920x1080 (16:9) and then yeah, resizing many of my clips to fit the 16:9 size. Project saved! Thanks again, your matter-of-fact response encouraged me to see this as a solveable issue. Take care!
