What is the default option in the clip mismatch settings panel when preserving settings?

• A. Stretch to match sequence
• B. Match Source
• C. Use Project Settings
• D. Keep Existing Settings

Answer: (D)

When a clip’s properties don’t match the sequence, Premiere Pro shows options to resolve the mismatch. The default choice when you’re preserving settings is to keep existing settings, meaning the software won’t override the clip or sequence with a different interpretation of size, frame rate, or scaling. This keeps the clip exactly as it is in the project, avoiding automatic changes like scaling or reframing unless you choose a different option. To contrast, stretching to match the sequence would resize the clip to fill the frame, which can alter aspect and introduce distortion. Matching the source would apply the clip’s native properties, and using project settings would adopt the sequence’s settings. The default keeps things as they were, giving you control to adjust later if needed.
