If I'm doing this for a whole vid, I've just edited it all in squishyvision, then exported the sequence, reimported it as a single clip, and applied the Distort at the end of the process.
I don't know if your G5 (pause for drooling) makes export times negligble, or if you're using export/import metaphorically *g* but if you didn't want to, there's no need. You can just go do this: file->new->sequence That will create sequence2 in the browser. Double click on it to get it to pop up as a tab in the timeline and then just drag the sequence1 icon from the browser to sequence2 timeline and then apply the Distort. It's the same thing essentially, but it cuts down on export times.
And out of idle curiosity, do you know if there's any difference between distort and "aspect ratio"? I've just been setting the aspect ratio under the motion tab to -33 in order to get letterboxing.
