Multiple resolutions question

[BryanBentz]

I have several clips I want to show in sequence in a movie; the highest res are the 4K ones, but I've got clips with VHS resolution, and others Blu-Ray, etc.

What I want is for those clips to show up as smaller rectangles, using the data to populate a 4K image, rather than having them 'blown up' to the full 4K screen size, with all the macro-pixellation that occurs. In other words, if a clip is at half 4K resolution, it ought to show up as 1/4 size (half vertical size, half horizontal size). That is I want the project resolution to apply to the clips without changing their resolution, without trying to make them bigger (maybe centering them would be enough).

I can't find any setting anywhere, either on a per-clip basis or for an overall project, to make this happen. I could individually work with each clip to try to map them to a 4K resolution, but I can't see even how to do *that*. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Do you mean something like https://youtu.be/DwbuFH3A1s4?t=559 ? If so then use overlay tracks to add as many clips as you want on top of the 4K image on the video track.

as tletter has said use the overlay tracks and size and place the resultant image to give the required effect - but you cannot change the resolution of the overlay tracks individually - you just set the PIP (picture in picture) to be a size which looks good onscreen
