Re: Scaling Multiple Clips

Am I correct in saying that your project is 16x9, and your source material is 4:3 that has been upscaled to fill the screen?

Anyway, resize the first clip in the sequence to your desired size, than Ctrl+C (copy) your transformation from the Effects Control panel, than select/highlight all of the rest of the clips in the sequence and press Ctrl+V (paste).

Another option would be, if you already have all of your clips in a timeline sequence you could nest that sequence into another sequence, than apply your scaling to the nested sequence. In this way, you can apply an effect to all clips.

However, it sounds like you've already upscaled your video, so the nesting trick wouldn't work as the nested sequence would be cropped to 16:9 and a reduction in size wouldn't recover the cropped areas.

Additional notes: Effect/Distort/Transform is a better tool for scaling, but it increases the render time.
If your footage is interlaced, it should be deinterlaced before any scaling.
All source material should be conformed to the project settings to avoid unexpected results during rendering, via right-clicking on the source in the project window. So, if you are using 4:3 material in a 16:9 project, conform it to 16:9 than Effects/Distort/Transform the width to 75% than check the Uniform Scale box before additional scaling.

So, uh.. yes, to answer your question. :)lol
