Thanks Mike, It's funny how many ways we can find to screw things up! Good to know how to fix it again - had an editor edita PAL project recently with NTSC settings - managed to fix it the same way you did; by importing into a project with the right settings. Wonder why Adobe has decided to make that setting un-changeable? Regards Wes D.
