I decided I wanted to work on an old project that I wanted to polish up and tweak. I did this about 4 years ago and really like it. So I open it up in CS4 and do the work I want. Then I go to render it. Turns out when you open old projects in CS4 it defaults to DV. This unfortunately was shot in HDV 1080i. Looked fine on the time line before render now its completely out of shape. Any ideas on how to change the project settings without creating a new one and just coping it over? If you just cut and paste it you lose all of your transitions and effects.

OK I figured it out. Go to File, New, Sequence, New Sequence (set your new sequence to the settings you want), Highlight all flies in time line, Control C, Double click on your newly created sequence and it will come up empty, then put the line on the time line and hit control V and wahlaa, your project is there with all effects and transitions intact. Render and go!!! If you try to do this in a new project you will lose all of your effects and transitions.
