Downrezzing Problem

I took my entire HD timeline and put it in a standard NTSC timeline, and all the footage resizes itself to fit in letterbox format, all except ONE. Instead, it appears enlarged and is bigger than the entire frame. I've been trying to figure out why it's doing this, as this one clip has all the same settings as all my other clips. It's DVCPRO HD 720p.

I could go in and manually resize this clip every time it appears in the timeline, but this would be quite a pain in the butt. I wonder if there is any better way to do this, or if there is a solution to my problem? Like I said, I have no idea why it's doing this to just this one clip and resizing the rest of them just fine.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thanks.
 
you could try exporting as a new dvcproHD720p file. drop this file into your ntsc timeline and it may behave properly. its stepping around the issue but worth a shot if you dont have to continue making any changes to your edit.

right click on the clip in the timeline (Control Click), go to remove attributes, make sure "distort" is checked, click OK.

See if that helps.
 
Removing attributes didn't work, but I did try exporting it as a .mxf and than re-importing it into my project, and that seemed to fix it for some reason. weird.
