Do I need FC Pro for custom frame sizes?

I recently purchased Final Cut Express HD for editing computer based software training videos. These videos are captured using Snapz Pro X2 at 1024x768 and will be played back on a computer at the same size, or reduced to 800x600. They won't be output to tape or DVD.
I thought FCE HD would allow me to edit at 1024x768 resolution but I now it seems that isn't possible.
Am I correct that FCE HD won't let me edit at the frame sizes I specified? Do I need Final Cut Pro 5?
Thanks,

FCEHD will let you use QuickTime videos of different frame sizes, but it will only output in 720x480 (NTSC) or... whatever the PAL rez is.
Keep in mind that your maximum resolution for DVD output is (essentially) 640x480 anyway, in square pixels. So, even if you were to edit in 1024x768, you will need to downsample it in order to get it on DVD.
On other training videos, I've often seen them show the full screen for some parts, but then zoom in on the areas where they're doing action. That would definitely be possible in FCEHD. For the full screen shots, scale the computer screen image to fit in the frame. Then, when you need to show detail, cut the clip and scale it up to make it bigger, and center the action in the video frame.
Look at some training DVD's by places like Digital Tree or someplace like that to get some ideas on how to do that. Hope that makes sense.

How do I set custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5 sequence.

I need to set a custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5.
I can't edit a preset so how do I create my own?

If you realy feel 'lazy' or have no idea what settings to choose you can drag the clip the into the New Item icon. This will create a matching sequence.

Hi,
it_wbs_prps1 .
If you are going to use this internal table to check for a null condition, shouldn't you first assign the data package to it?
For example,   it_wbs_prps1 = i_t_data[].
Because you are now using it_wbs_prps1 to select data from a table and it doesn't have any data.
Please check.
-RMP
Edit : Please ignore this. I didn't see that you are actually filling the internal table. Sorry!

Need F4 Help for custom container element based on partner type

Hi Friends
I am displaying customer details in custom container .In that custom container I have a field Partner number,Partner type etc etc..
I included F4 help for partner number field, In that I referenced the following field.Now its coming perfectly.
wa_cat1-f4availabl = 'X'.
wa_cat1-ref_table = 'KNA1'.
wa_cat1-ref_field = 'KUNNR'.
But as per my requirement, customer wants to get the different F4 help when the partner type eq "Contact Person".
Rest of the partner type(Ship to party, Sold to party,Reseller, End user) should show the above one.
So I dont know, where I have to change, because in the field catelod level there is no option to control particular type in the column.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks

Hi Jose
Thanks for your Input.I created Event Receiver than Defined and implemented a method to get F4 help for customer number and email id field.Already F4 help is available for Email ID.Now I want to Include the F4 help for partner number field, it will call the search help based on partner type.I can able to get the partner number field search help, but F4 help is not working for email id.
I am not sure some whee its over writing some values or I am not sure.If I comment partner number F4 help class, I can able to get the F4 help for email address.
Plz guide to me to fix the same.
Thanks

Creating custom frame size for ProRes?

This would be an addendum to my previous question about frame sizes.
Say I have a bunch of odd-sized png files ... and want to convert them to a ProRes HQ clip ... but they have this odd size (which we need to keep). 1428 x 1050. Can I make an odd frame size ProRes HQ 8 bit clip? And if so, any tips on how to do it right?

UITableView with custom frame size within a UINavigationController... how?

I've seen similar questions asked all over the web, but so far not a single "real" answer has cropped up, so hopefully you folks will know the way to do this.
I have a main view that with a UIView subview, inside of which I am programmatically adding a UINavigationController and UITableView that is encapsulated in a +regular UIViewController+, to allow it to be pushed/popped onto the navigation controller. I'm essentially just trying to get a table+navcontroller combination that only takes up about half the screen height.
The problem isn't that it doesn't work, because I have no problem getting the table and navigation controller working together as expected. The problem is that no matter what I do or try, I cannot get the table view to be smaller (in height), than full-size, meaning that when contained in this ~200px navcontroller-in-subview, there are a large number of rows the user cannot select because attempting to scroll to them immediately "bounces" back. You can see that the rows are there when you "pull" the scroll down, but can never get it to stay.
As it appears, the table view is too large in height. I've gone as far as setting the table to a height of 10, to no avail. Autoresize masks have no effect.
Please note that I'm NOT using an instance of UITableViewController, but rather the plain vanilla UIViewController, because creating an instance of the former automatically creates the underlying UITableView, which was always sized to large, as well. I had some advice that I should attempt creating the table and view controller independently, add the former to the latter and then push the view controller onto the navigation controller. Again, this does work, but the size is all out of whack.
Finally, in quick psuedo-code, this is essentially what I'm doing:
(this is found in MainViewController::viewDidLoad)
CGRect frame = subviewContainer.frame;
frame.size.height = 10;
frame.origin.x = 0;
frame.origin.y = 0;
UITableView* table = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
table.autoresizesMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
UIViewController* tVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
tVC.view = table;
UINavigationController* navC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tVC];
[subviewContainer addSubview:navC.view];
Thanks for any tips you might have: this is quite the frustrating problem!

I have an app that is absolutely kicking my butt. I have a UITabBarController that contains a UINavigationController that contains a custom UIViewController. When the user rotates the iPhone, I want to hide the navigation bar, hide the tab bar and swap out a UIImageView in the custom view controller and I want the image to be full-screen. I've figured out how to get rid of the navigation and tab bars, but making the UIImageView full-screen is what's killing me. When the image shows up, it is the size it would be if the tab bar was visible. In the didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method, I hide the tab bar by doing:
tabBar.hidden = YES;
I've tried resizing the UIImageView by doing:
img.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 480.0);
but that just screws up the image even more. I tried resizing the tabBarController's view, and I've tried resizing the current view, but alas to no avail.
Can anyone help me not be stupid?
Thanks!

'Custom' frame size sequence displaying weirdly in full screen mode...

I cutting an IMAX film, the frame is 1428 x 1050 (virtually 4:3 ratio). In ProRes it plays and works just fine on the timeline, proper proportions in the canvas and viewer windows ... and when I open it to full screen it works, proper proportions, as a 'still' image; but when I hit 'play' it pops into a 16:9 sort of frame ... the image squashed.
This doesn't happen with an 'uncompressed' codec, only with ProRes.
Is there any way I can set something in FCP to compensate for this? So it will actually play the custom frame in its proper proportions in a full screen mode?

How do I get OS X to ask printer for custom paper size

I am printing postcards. These are 1/4 of a letter sheet, or 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall.
I have a commercial grade HP Laserjet 4350, and I've configured that size in its custom menu for tray 1 (the envelope feeder tray). The printer is happy.
I've also set a custom paper size in the MacOS, that I've called "Postcard Quarterpage" and I have that selected in the print dialog. In fact I made it default.
However, under Paper Handling, it says "Destination paper size: Suggested paper: US Letter" and this is greyed out. If I check "Scale to fit paper size" which I Do Not Want, then I can pick a variety of sizes. However my custom size is not in the list.
This happens on all applications, so it is definitely OS X Mountain Lion (latest patch).
Anyway, the upshot is MacOS requests US LETTER size from the printer, so the printer goes "Take this postcard stock out and gimme US LETTER". The printer can detect paper sizes. If I try to give it postcards anyway, it blows an error and won't print, which is what it should do.
How do I get OS X to tell the printer "Gimme 5.5x4.25" like I've instructed it?

Hi there Wolf!
I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
Note that in that article, it states:
Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Mpeg1 custom frame size

Hello,
I do a lot of videos or video presentations for sales type people to use within powerpoint files. I usually supply clients with WMV files using flip4mac, which works well.
Occasionally I see mpeg1 muxed movies that are more than the default 320x240 frame sizes. My question is 2 part - 1. Is there a quicktime/compressor way to do this? 2. Any thoughts on whether mpeg1 is a superior way to supply movies for things like inserting into powerpoint presentations?
Thanks
Pete

That's pretty much the frame size of a MPEG-1 file, 320x240. There's a MPEG-1 file called Super Video (CD) that uses MPEG-2 compression for the MPEG-1 file. I think the frame size is 480x360. The video quality is still garbage. The reason you still see MPEG-1 files is that the format is still popular in India and Indonesia.
Use h.264 for your presentation. If you use MPEG-1 you'll hate the quality.
Open that MPEG-1 you have in Quicktime and see what the inspector window tells you what the format is.

Custom frame size

I've been searching the net for an answer all day, but can't work it out.
I'm trying to create a video with frame-output 288x364. When I save it, I get the correct size of frame, but the video is only shown i the middle of the frame - like it dosn't fit to the frame size. Can you help in anyway?
I'm a rookie at this....! And Danish too, so excuse my poor English!

So is this the best answer that we can come up with in four months? That Premiere Elements can't work with some cameras, so you have to spend a lot more money for a better program?
Let me put that sort of question another way: When trying to render a project to an AVI file, Elements only gives me a choice of the 720 x 480 frame size. In order to reduce the file size for uploading, I want to reduce it to a smaller frame size. I'm not really picky about the exact size, but I was figuring around 420 x 320. (And, as Kimdj said, I don't want to just reduce the viewable area, effectively cropping the video. I want to take the whole frame and shrink it down.)
I've been able to do this with other, older, cheaper video editing programs in the past (Pinnacle 8, Video Wave 4, and others), so I'm skeptical about claims that Premiere Elements can't handle the job, or that the camera I used is important (a simple Nikon Coolpix S550, for the record).
So now that that the debate has been rephrased, does this spark anyone's creativity?
Thanks in advance!

Codec/ hardware/software for jumbo-frame size video playback on desktop?

Hello all,
I am looking for a codec that I can render to from AE and FCP, and can preview 1/2 or 3/4 scaled and actual scle (partial) on my 30" mac desktop.
ideal size: 3840x2160 (16:9) 25 fps 604 MB/sec CODEC for desktop PB
the AJA whack test on Dulce RX shows (720MB/sec.)easily enough disk throughput to handle 604MB/sec,
but apple uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 won't play more than 5sec.
my problem is not editing and rendering of which I will do a variety of methods, but rather
?????what uncompressed codec etc. to render TO????....how to see it,
1/2 or 3/4 scale or actual scale (partial)
on my 30" desktop
so I can check composition...before we finnally have it chopped up for seperate projectors or in the very fancy installation projection system
or to identify the hardware/software bottle necks to playing such a frame size on my desktop.
thanks,
Hilary

Wow, you are definitely on the bleeding edge, Hilary, trying to produce quad-HDTV on a Mac. One thing you might want to try, if you haven't already, is to post your questions at the AVScience forum. I think you will find a more focused audience there.
I don't really have answers for you, but I do have more questions and possibly some things to think about. First question; is the source material really quad-HDTV or is it lower res, like normal HDTV, and the plan is to show it through four, 1080p projectors onto a video wall? The reason I ask is, if the source material is lower res, then it seems pointless to try and encode it as quad-HD. You could just encode as HD (1080p) and then chop it up into four 960 x 540 chunks and project that.
You mention that you have encoded Apple uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 but that the file will only play for five seconds. What happens after that? Does it get choppy or does it just altogether stop playing? The answer may hold clues as to what the problem is.
What will the be the final platform for playing this video through the four projectors? Will it be the same G5 PowerMac that you are producing on or is the playback system based on different hardware? That could influence the encoding choice.
It seems the most ideal development system for what you are trying to do would not be on a 30" monitor but instead on four 23" Cinema Displays connected to two graphics boards installed in your G5. Then you could be working at full scale aross all the monitors and you wouldn't have to worry about 1/2 scale or 3/4 scale or partial full scale viewing.
It sounds like you have verified there to be adequate throughput off the disk to play the file at 25 fps but it's hard to imagine that a ~0.6 GBytes per second data stream isn't going to bottleneck somewhere on the G5. That's like 10x the data rate of FW800 if I am reading your post correctly. Maybe you meant 604 Mbps? That's just inside the (theoretical) envelope of FW800, but still a lot of data to be streaming real time without interruption. But where is the pinch point? That is the question. I'm guessing that it is disk related inspite of what the AJA whack test says. Are you using a raid by any chance? That should improve the AJA score and make for more headroom, especially if run off a SATA card.
Personally, I rarely use anything more powerful than Apple's Activity Monitor as a system monitoring tool. But I doubt that it has enough diagnostic power for this application. If you are running Leopard, DTrace might be helpful, but I have no experience with it personally. Just trying to find the bottleneck could turn into a whole project of its own. Again I refer you to the AVScience forum as a possible shortcut to the answers you seek. Good luck with your project.

Help needed: Search function for custom Repository Manager

Hi there,
i'm writing my own Repository Manager for EP 6.0 SP2 PL4.
I've serious problems getting the search function running. I'm using the 'new', Netweaver-based API.
I think, there are some general questions to answer:
- My Repository Manager exposes lots of custom
   properties to the system. I create the properties
   for example using following code:
   IProperty newProp = new StringSingleValueProperty(
     PropertyName.getPropertyName(
              "{}" + myAttName),
     myAttVal,                         PropertyFlags.constructFlags(
              true, false, true, false)
    Is there any convention for the propertie's name?
    I think it has to be written in lowercase only?
    Can I use ANY namespace I want instead of the
    empty default namespace? (For example:
- After indexing my resources (of course, containing my
   custom properties), the TREX-Monitoring screen for my
   index shows all my custom properties in the 'Document
   Properties' area, but all uppercase chars are escaped
   somewhat. Is this OK?
- Trying to use the index above to search for particular
   resources in my repository by my custom properties
   fails all the time ('no docs found...'); searching for
   any system property works fine. What's the reason?
- How can I force the (Property-) search uses my
   custom namespace-manager's methods
   isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() and
   getQueryBuilder()
   to perform a 'pure' property search by the repository
   manager? It seems that the TREX always handles the
   queries by itself, because my methods are never called.
Thanx for you help,
Daniel

I created a new manager and copied the classes exactly from the "simple" example and I see similar behavior. Actually, when I do this, folders are recursively copied, but not files. Again, browsing and viewing of files work fine. Again, I am not seeing any unexpected exceptions.
The only thing that changed were the names and namespaces. Nothing else at all was changed.
This makes me think I am missing some configuration somewhere or there is something special about the example project that the wizards are not creating. The only difference I see in the project file is an additional nature (com.tssap.selena.cmf.PatternNature), but I am not sure that is relevant.
Wow, I am really stumped.
