I didn't know I could change existing sequence settings - huge revelation! Thank you. So I changed the settings to Apple Intermediate Codec 720p 30. Then my sequence, which had the video filling the frame, changed to look like this:I'm not sure if there's a quick way to change it (i.e. change everything with a click of a button.) I feel like someone once told me about doing that, but I can't remember how; though it might have been in Final Cut Pro!
So you can imagine I'm like, "Whu?" Maybe a different setting? Or...?
A test export looks great, and is 1280 x 720! But I can't afford to start from scratch at this point. Recommendations?

The slightly easy way to do it is this in the sequence;
- double-click the clip to select it
- Click the Motion tab in the Viewer window
- Under Basic Motion item (click gray arrow to expand), look at Scale. Ideally, it should be at 100. If it's not, click the red x button that's under "Nav" across from the Basic Motion title, the settings for that should now be reset to 100
- Under the Distort item, Aspect Ratio should be 0. If it is not, click the red x button across from Distort to clear it.
Reset button
The clip should now fill the screen in the Canvas, though note that if you are also using clips that aren't 1280 x 720, those won't fill the screen, and you'll have to Scale them up to do so.
Go to next clip in the timeline and rinse/repeat
This should let you scale all your clips up to the correct size without having to re-cut or re-add transitions.

To make it a little easier, make the corrections to one clip (as you described). Then copy that clip, select the other clips, and choose Paste Attributes from the Edit menu. In the dialog box choose Basic Motion and Distort. This will apply the new Scale and Aspect Ratio to the other clips.
