Clips can be Huge
A three minute QuickTime .mov
file can be 140MB.
Loading it, even over a high-speed LAN can take some time.
Do not assume your computer or Blender has locked up if nothing happens for awhile.

- Scale to Fit:
Adjusts the strips Scale Transforms so the visual contents of the strip to fit exactly within the project’s Resolution while maintaining the original aspect ratio.
This may mean that the transparent areas may be added along the content’s border to fit the content in the rendered area.
- Scale to Fill:
Adjusts the strips Scale Transforms so the visual contents of the strip to span the project’s Resolution while maintaining the original aspect ratio.
This may mean that portions of the original image no longer fit the content inside the rendered area.
- Stretch to Fill:
Adjusts the strips Scale Transforms so the visual contents of the strip to fill the project’s Resolution. Note, unlike the other two methods described above, Stretch to Fill does not maintaining the original aspect ratio.
This may mean that the original image becomes distorted to fit the content inside the rendered area.
