Adjusting video clips to match frame size

[darleent63636450]

I'm making a history video for school and noticed that some of the footage is scaled down when I put it in the timeline. All the footage that I'm using is coming off of the same camera with the same settings for each clip. I would try to adjust the frame size, but the quality would get significantly worse. I did edit each clip separately to match the audio from my other equipment, could that be what's causing the problem? Please help, this is really annoying me and I need to get this project done.

with your clips in the project panel, since they are all from same camera,

just empty your timeline sequence from any clips and drag one of the clips from

the project panel to the timeline, a panel will ask if you want to change

sequence settings to match your video, click on 'change sequence settings'

this will make the sequence same settings as your footage.

Now if your audio is from another video source, drag just the audio to the

timeline and sync with the clips. if the audio is just an audio file, you should

have no problem.

seems like you opened a sequence with settings not matched to original footage,

and scaling footage up and down to match is not a good idea since you can

start a matched sequence from the start, to save rendering time.

hope that helps

Enable the Video Info column for the Metadata display.  There you will see the resolution of all the clips.
