First, have you matched the media properties in the Project? This is a specific procedure.

Second, can you confirm that the media properties in the Project Media window are incorrect? Do they disagree with the PAR reported by MediaInfo?

Best to rule out the simple stuff before undertaking anything more drastic . . .

If you upgrade to Vegas Pro you could do it via scripting.

If you fix it in Pan/Crop by using "stretch to fill frame", you can fix the first one, copy that event, then select the rest, right-mouse button click on one of them, and Paste event attributes. This will copy the Pan/Crop settings from the first to all the others.

I suspect the OP is merely opening his media in the default project template and may be assuming the aspect is wrong because of the preview dimensions.

That is a much more common mistake for a first-time user than incorrectly flagged media aspect, although not impossible. We would need further information to determine which it is.

I definitely agree, Musicivid!

I'm using clips from two different cameras in a project that is set up for widescreen video. The older camera comes in with a PA of 1.0. The new, widescreen camera comes in with a PA of .909. When I render these clips, they show up as skinny with letterboxing on the right and left. If I change the PA to 1.21, then it fills the frame correctly. I render to a 1.21 widescreen format.

I am having similar problems with two cameras. For clarification, this "aspect ratio" parameter in pan/crop panel, is it the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) or Display aspect ratio (DAR)?
