# Change project settings after footage is all cut up on Premiere Elements

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-11-16)

I've spent a couple of hours cutting and editing gopro footage, unfortunately the first file I added to the timeline was the soundtrack.

Now my project resolution and frame rate are wrong and I can't adjust it in order to just select "4k UHD" in render options using mp4 - XAVC-S because it defaults to 60fps

Two questions :

1. Is there a way, even hacky, to change project settings for an existing project?
2. If not, how can I render with same UHD xavc-s settings but just change the frame rate? It's not always letting me select even the correct resolution in 'custom'.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
