Does anyone know of a way to change the dimensions of a Premiere project (so that I can just substitute my source files with the anamorphic DVD files) while still keeping all the edits intact? (I don't think Premiere allows you to change the dimensions once you've created a project.)

Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck there. I use premiere for my video-based projects and I was frustrated once that I couldn't change the dimensions. Granted I am maybe .5 of (or even a whole) version behind - so it might've changed since then. There might be a way around it. I think I imported sequences from one project into another somehow and that might help you out. Good luck with it though - and welcome to the forums btw (since I haven't said it yet).

I'm not grabbing this at the moment, but I must applaud you after reading through this thread. It's always good to see these kinds of edits (ie. a labour of love). I'm sure someone here can give you advice on rotoscoping. However, from other people's responses, it seems this is a great edit regardless. I think that's the challenge; to create an edit that significantly improves or changes the original film. There are a lot of edits out there that don't do this, sounds like yours does.
