Any way to export anamorphic SD QT that will play back 16:9?

I haven't posted for a while because FCS2 has been working great. However one thing has been nagging me for quite a while and I wonder if it's a gap in my FCP education. When I work in SD 16:9 projects (either DV NTSC or DV50 Easy Setup), I often export to QuickTime Movie as "self-contained" .mov's before dealing with clients about output formats. However, because these are now 16:9 anamorphic clips, I can never get QuickTime Player to play them back at the Desktop level in the right aspect ratio.
Is there any way to flag the QT so that the QT Player can play it back properly?
For instance, if the next step is making a DVD, the same QT Movie can be imported into DVD Studio Pro, and all I have to do is to identify the track as "16:9 letterbox" and it'll play back in DVDSP in correct aspect ratio. Am I correct in thinking that the QuickTime Player still doesn't allow me to do something this simple after all these years?

That is strange ... I just ran the test again. Heres the steps I tested.
First, I created a DV PAL anamorphic sequence in FCP 5.1.4 (QT 7.4.1)
Then I added a 10 second color matte to the sequence (Video Generators>Matte>Color)
Finally I exported the timeline in using 3 different methods:
1) Export >Quicktime Movie w/Current Settings, Self Contained
2) Export >Quicktime Movie w/Current Settings, Recompress All Frames, Self Contained
3) Export >Quicktime Conversion >>Quicktime Movie >>>DV PAL, and specifying specifically that the aspect ratio was 16:9
Results:
1) Movie played 4:3 in QT Player ... enabled "Conform aperture to: Clean" and it played 16:9
2) Movie played 4:3 in QT Player ... enabled "Conform aperture to: Clean" and it played 16:9
3) Movie played 16:9 in QT Player ... "Conform aperture to: Clean" was enabled already
So I've just tried to see if I can force it NOT to work...
4) Export >Quicktime Conversion >>Quicktime Movie >>>DV PAL, and specifying specifically that the aspect ratio was 4:3
Result:
4) Movie played 4:3 in QT Player ... "Conform aperture to: Clean" was enabled already.
So the only way I can seem to make this not work is if I go out of my way to tell QT that its NOT anamorphic and that it really is 4:3 ... then QT Player takes me at my word.
Odd that you're not seeing this. I wonder if its version specific?

Is there any way to recover a voice memo that was not backed up but accidentally deleted?

Today I accidentally deleted a very important voice memo in the blink of an eye. As I forgot to back it up I know this is probably not possible and I understand that. Is there any way to recover this?

I had exactly the same problem, I was trying with some software of wondershare but wasn't possible, so, it seems like we lost that important info!.

Of u get a differant computer becouse the the other one crashed is there any way to get the tv shows that i purchased back on the new computer?

If you were to get a differant computer becouse the old one crashed is there anyway to get the stuff that i purchased back on my computer?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

Is there a tablet that will play back on film location of a Panasonic HDC TM90 MTS codec

Is there a tablet that will playback a video from a Panasonic HDC TM90 using the MTS codec ?
Play back on location? My i-mac with Final Cut Pro X automatically plays back and imports my MTS files at 1080 60P. Would I have to purchase an apple tablet and a second copy of FCPX in order to accomplish what I am exploring ?

thanks Tom -- appreciate your help

What is the best way to create an MP4 (.M4V) that will play with forced subtitles in iTunes, Apple TV, and all iOS devices?

I've begun ripping my blu rays to digital format so I can store them on my NAS and access them from any device. Movies without subtitles work great, I simply use MP4 passthrough and all is well. I'm having issues with videos that have forced subtitles. I'm assuming I need to mux the video, audo and subtitle streams into an .M4V. I'm not sure how to do this. What format must the subtitle be in? SRT, AAS? Will Subler work?
My intention is that have the subtitles show no matter what. I don't want to fiddle with enabling them and disabling them. I want to watch the movie in itunes or an iOS device and have the subtitles show up without doing anything.

They are blu rays purchased before the advent of digital copies being included. What do you suggest I do? Repurchase the movies I already own?
We cannot help you on this board. What you ask is illegal to do in the United States. As Lyssa says, "You will have to search elsewhere for help." However, purchasing the movies from the iTunes Store is a legal option.

Best way to make a short movie that can play back and forth smooth?

Hi!
I have a short .flv clip (video) of a shoe rotating 360 degrees.
The clip is less then 4 seconds and about 320kb in size and I'm using flash CS4.
I'm trying to build some sort of a player that lets the user scrub through the movie (back and forth).
The player is also supposed to be able to play the clip back or forth at a speed selected by the user.
I have read kglad's reply about "How to play backwards flv imported in timeline on flash cs3?", and the code works perfect, except that the video is not playing smooth when played backwards. I guess when playing normal, the next frames are by default buffered, but when playing backwards they are not...
Which is the best way of doing this?.
Maybe it has already been done? Has anyone heard about something similar?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Please find the file attached. I changed the file extension from .fla to .eps.
(I also added one with the extension .mpg)
Basically I just want to be able to rotate the shoe in either direction,
but then I also would like the user to be able to "spin" it.
Meaning that when the user turns the shoe around, the speed is recorded,
and when he releases the mousebutton, the shoe will continue to rotate at that speed.
Do you think it could work using video? Or do I have to use stillimages instead?
Your script worked, but the film doesn't playback smoothly..
Thanks in advance!

Any way to export from iPhoto and have the file date be the photo date?

I can't deal with iPhoto any longer. I just imported photos from the last few days and they ended up being associated with some "Event" from Jul 19, 2007. So now I have an event that spans Jul 19, 2007 to Feb 21, 2009!!! I'd like to just display, sort, view all photos in my library by date (I am meticulous about dates on all my devices) but apparently that's not possible anymore. "Events" is the worse thing to ever happen to my photo library...
So I'd like to export them all and just use the Finder. It actually works the way I'd like. However there does not seem to be any way to export the photos so that the file creation or the file modification date is the actual date the photo was taken as shown in the information box in iPhoto. Does anyone know how to to this? Or is this just the iPhoto engineers screwing with people like me who have gotten disgusted with their product?
Thanks!

Yes, I know what the Finder is... The cool thing is it actually does know about the contents of the file. For example it can display thumbnails of the images contained within.
Even better the files can be sorted any way you want, are not hidden in some odd proprietary package, can be backed up, restored at will and can easily be programmatically changed using AppleScript. The file system for an OS is generally bullet-proof and as such doesn't screw with dates like iPhoto did (the events stuff screwed with all our dates and has been a disaster for us and the 40,000 or so pictures we had in our library).
iPhoto has just gotten too modal, too bloated, and too proprietary while not providing the basics like a way for my wife and I to have a single library for all our photos. On the other hand using just the file system and some network storage this is easy.
For the recored most pros I consulted with have moved to the file system and Finder as their primary means of managing their photos. I'm just looking for an easy way to get my stuff out of iPhoto so I can do the same.

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

Any way to export to specified file size?

Is there any way to export images so they are sized to fit within certain dimensions AND a specified file size? Similar to 'image processor' in Bridge/CS3 or the older Doc Brown's image processor.
Example: (processing images for web use)
I want to export a batch of RAW files to jpg,
Size them to fit within 800px x 800px,
And have them be a consistent file size of around 100kb
(This has been possible to do in Adobe Bridge for years)
I know I can edit Aperture's export preferences and adjust the image quality slider but final images have a range of file sizes and I find myself having to re-export some images over again after adjusting image quality to reach the desired size. This is a trial and error process each time.
Another workaround is to export the images as .tif files, then open in Adobe Bridge and process into jpg's using 'image processor' to reach the desired size. But that effectively negates the use of Aperture in the first place for batch processing files for size. In this case, it'd be more efficient to take Aperture out of my workflow completely and do everything in Adobe Bridge.
Has anyone found a plug-in or less tedious workaround for this?
Cheers,
J

James, you said "my website provider places an upper limit on file size and dimensions per image."
Aperture does take care of half of that, the pixel dimensions. If it was me, I would test out a few images at various levels of jpg quality (5, 6, 7 etc.) and see where both the file size ends up and how the quality looks. Then, just go with one your favorite combinations. Images with more detail will be larger and images with less will be smaller. In the long run, it should even out. If you had the ability to request a certain size, some of your images may look good and others bad. Personally, I would be more concerned with quality than a few k of pixels.

Any way to export with multiple presets at once?

Hi! Is there any way to export with multiple presets at once? I do a lot of product photography, usually clients send me around 5 to 10 pieces to photograph, and from each photo requires to be exported to about 7 different formats and sizes for different uses. I have a preset for each export, but this requires multiple clicks per export, select the preset, the destination folder, etc..... and at the end I end taking about 1 hour to just export files when if I could just select 1 time a folder of presets and the destination folder just once, then it will take no time to get all oft those exports.
Thanks!

Some of those other photographers have assistants they can task with doing the drudgery.
I would describe what you're wanting scripted multiple exporting, not multiple export presets, because multiple-exports don't necessarily rely on presets, just initiating an Export and clicking on various things for each one.
I assume you have a preset set for each of the 7 format-size-uses variations, and then most of the time consuming part is setting the Choosing the destination folder that gets mirrored to DropBox? You can copy/paste most of the path into the Folder address area after clicking Choose.
Without knowing what your master-photo folders and dropbox-mirror folder names and organization are it's hard to know if you've thought of all the shortcuts you might use or if things are organized in the most efficient manner.
If you're on Windows, maybe something like AutoHotKey macros would help with what you're doing.

Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

Hello,
we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
Thank you for your help
Kind Regards

Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
Thanks

If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.
