i dont know how to make it know the dimensions
i know in after effects i would jjust drag it and cick analize

Answer 1

Thanks. I am not sure that the sequence did not match the footage, as they are all the same, and match what the file into says as compared to what the camera they were shot with shows, but I seem to have apparently not properly 'imported' the file into my project in the first place. I watched a video and saw the 'scrub' function working on clips that were drug into the project, so I thought you could just drag clips into the project pane, and that is how I got clips into the project. I can scrub them, place them in a sequence, and even make a DVD or BRay disc. However even though this technique seemed to work, as noted I could not apply the warp stabilizer. So, I played around a bit more since my posting, and found a particular discussion and essentially tried the idea you suggest, to 'import a clip into a new sequence'. Sure enough, when the clip was imported, it opened in its own new sequence, and when I tried Warp stabilizer, it actually started working! Finished up ok. The clip was nicely stabilized, very nice. So essentially it seems that the act of officially importing the clip caused the proper sequence settings have been accepted, as opposed to simply being readable by the user when looking at the clip sequence data (via the pull down menu).
So now I wanted to put that stabilized sequence into my project. I could not 'copy and paste' it as it was from the sequence it which I had imported it, but I saw a new 'stabilized version of the file' in the project files area that did not have any direct video associated with it. And this was the repaired video! So, I place it in my project, it shows up with a green tint, and plays fine. However, I cannot get it to 'render' when I click on the red 'line' above and hit the return key. This same action worked when the original file was warp stabilized, and I could get the red line to turn green after the render. However, I can not get it to render in my project. What am I missing? And thanks in advance for the help. I am getting there.....
