Using the Format Tab
The Format tab in the Project window lets you view basic project information, such as the video
format (NTSC, for example). The information lists the options you selected in the New Project
dialog box when you created the project.
For some project formats, the Project Type list lets you change the format of the project to
another format that shares the same frame rate. For example, if you are working in a 1080i/59.94
HD project, you can change the project format to 30i NTSC.

If you switch from one project type, aspect ratio, color space, or raster dimension to another
during the course of your workflow, you might create precomputed clips that have not rendered
with the quality that you need for your final output. You might need to manually purge the
precomputed clips and re-render effects. For more information, see “Ensuring the Quality Level
of Precomputed Clips” in the Help.

For 24p PAL projects, the Format tab shows the audio transfer rate you selected when you
created the project. The actual audio transfer rate might be different from the display if you used
the 24P Settings dialog box to change the audio transfer rate.
