Project settings - how to deal with mixed input resolution?

Help
1

Hello,

I am working on a project in which my input clips have two different resolutions : 848x480 px and 640x480 px.

I would like to have an output resolution of 848x480 with the following behaviors:

  • the 848x480 clips keep their native resolution
  • the 640x480 clips keep their native height (480) and black bands are added on both sides to get a 848px width

So I set the resolution to 848x480px in the project settings hoping that the job gets done (see picture below). But the result is half what I expected:

  • the 848x480 clips are down-sized so that the width is 640px. The resolutions of these clips are then 640x362px and black bands are added to obtain 848x480px clips
  • the 640x480 clips are handled as expected

This behavior does not make sense to me. Any hints?

Which clips did you load first into the bin? Was there a pop-up asking whether you want to adjust the project settings to the clip properties?

Honestly I don’t remember these details. But I tried to load the 848x480 clip first and accepted to adjust the profil settings. The result is that it now works as intended. Not sure what happened.

Big thanks for your help.
