you can change all the settings at once by loading a sequence preset (which is simply
a set of predefined sequence settings).

Select a sequence in the Browser or in the Timeline.

2

Do one of the following:

 Choose Sequence > Settings.
 Control-click the sequence’s icon, then choose Settings from the shortcut menu.
 Press Command-0 (zero).

3

In the Sequence Settings window, click a tab, change its settings, then click OK.

timebase, the editing timebase remains unchanged.
