Stills / Picture 16:9 ratio conversion

I'm editing my first HD wedding and shot the main footage with a Sony HDR-FX1000 for the HD plus a VX2100 SD using the 16:9 mode for wide shots.

Anyway I'm putting the project together and imported around 75 pics for a "the couple growing up" montage. I already went through each picture using the pan/crop for movement.

I just realized that I didn't set each picture to a 16:9 format? I've tried a copy and paste attributes, but that doesn't catch the ratio setting and worse it appears that even when I do change a picture ratio to 16:9, my pan/crop setting overide the 16:9 and the picture changes to my original settnigs out of the 16:9 format.

Looks t me like I've got to go to each picture, delete the pan/crop points each individually, change the ratio to 16:9, then add new pan/crop set points.

Any other way someone might know to get around this?
Live and learn I guess.

not a solution, but you can highlight all the pan/crop points, delete them, change ratio to 16x9, then paste them back.

when dealing with large numbers of pix it's always a good idea to do testing with the first one, get the size, aspect.. working the way you want, then import the other pix and apply the same settings to them all.
