Premiere Pro CS3: how to turn off frame blending?

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

I've had to upgrade from Premiere 6.0 to Premiere Pro CS3, which is kind of like going into your somewhat grubby but pleasantly familiar bathroom and suddenly finding a giant array of high-tech knobs and spouts and mystery tubing where your old shower used to be.

Question for vidders: how the hell do I turn off the Frame Blend option for all clips in my project file/on my timeline? There's a Frame Blend choice in the Clip section of the main menu, but when I select more than one clip, that option greys out.

I'm not even sure what Frame Blend does, but I strongly suspect it's blurring the clips unnecessarily. Right now the only option I can see is turning it off on every single clip by hand, which is not good for my RSI or my mental health. Help?

I've run into this thing all the time. Its highly annoying. It auto-puts all clips to "Frame Blend" which, as the original poster says, unnecessarily blends the vid. I don't have any footage off-hand to take a cap of, but I do know when you right-click on a clip, its the the option just above "Scale to frame size"

Yep, what yunafire said - here, let me try and do screencaps.

The Frame Blend option shows in two places,

once when you right-click on a clip (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3095/2588969191_a047188268_o.png)

and

once when you go to "Clip > Video Options" in the main menu. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/2588969213_04d005f65d_o.png)

It's set to be enabled by default, and whenever I try to turn it off for more than one clip at once, the option greys out. Grar.
