Premiere Aspect Ratio

Hey! Does anyone know how I can change the aspect ratio of a Premiere project after I have started to work on it? I have looked in Project Settings but to no avail. The aspect ratio is grayed out.

If its grayed out, then that sorta means you can't.

I figured that much, I was just hoping that there was another place that MIGHT let me change it.

As far as I know, Premiere Pro doesn't let you change project settings like resolution, frame rate, preview codec, etc. once you've created the project. The reason I've seen given for this is to avoid nasty problems with the preview files, though I can't see why they can't just make like the older versions of Premiere and simply delete all the preview files if such a setting was changed.

So in short, you have to either live with it or create a new project with the resolution and/or aspect ratio you want.

How about opening the project sequence into another new project?

Since Premiere's Project Settings do not work, try creating a new Premiere Project with the new settings you want and import the older project into the new one? I believe the older project's settings do not affect the sequence imported into the new project.

not quite sure what your asking but ill try to answer the question

when you export and it asks you waht you want to name the avi file, isnt there some sort of settings button that lets you change framerate, codec, compression settings, frame size, and all those goodies

No hes asking about the Project settings, not the export settings.

Besides the fact that it won't let you change the framerate and stuff on export, only when creating the project (unless I've gone crazy and missed the settings page for that).
