How,can,I,adjust,the,camera,settings,on,my,2009,Mac,to,16:9,format?

I want to use the camera on my 2009 iMac to shoot some footage for a video project. The project is in 16:9 wide screen. How can I adjust the camera to shoot in this format?

Thanks for letting us know your questions was answered!  A few other thoughts....

True, the viewed camera image is always 4:3 with your old iMovie 6 HD, but experiment a bit.
Some of the iMovie 6 video formats you can select when you create your iSight clips in the separate iSight project can create a 16:9 frame.  That frame will contain your 4:3 iSight image but be filled out to 16:9 with symmetrical black bars on the left and right sides of the image.  These clips will be importable into your widescreen project.  Although the portions recorded on your iSight will contain the black bars that keep the 16:9 aspect ratio you need, you should be able to include both the iSight captured video and your other video clips in the same 16:9 final product.
If you have a 16:9 digital cameras that can record the clips, use that to get the format you need and better image quality than iSight can provide.
However, if you really need to record 16:9 iSight video, and if your Mac has QuickTime Player (version 10.x), try using QTX.  After you open a "New Movie Recording" window, QTX can change camera recording aspect ratios by using its Preference controls as shown in this image of the :
If you really need to use an iSight to capture widescreen video that is not block-filled, another option would be to use a later iMovie version that can record widescreen views of your inbuilt camera. I use iMovie '11 to do this, but, if you don't already have later versions, be sure to check System Requirements for later iMovies before you buy to see if they can work with your Mac OS version.

I had no problem understanding your post, and  I actually enjoyed the non-standard title.  I hope you don't mind my strange attempt at humor, but it is apparent that you were as able to understand my reply as I was your question. 
Thanks for the excuse for my silly chuckle,

  • Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now.

    Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now. I am currently running 1.3.0.20 and I have enough to do with also needing to upgrade my wlc to 7.4.121.0 and getting the MSE up to 7.4.121.0 without having to stand up a new server if I don't have to. Please share any information you have in regards to your experience with coming from a version 1.2-1.3 small ovf and going to 2.1.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    You are better off standing up a new server.  It's cleaner and safer..... you can always try to upgrade if you wish, but if things don't work out well, then you just wasted a lot of time.  Snapshot the VM and export the floor plans, just in case.  The ova is built around the DB size, so I don't know how well the DB will perform if you try to expand memory or drive space after an upgrade.

  • I'm getting audio in voiceover only on the right side in iMovie..  how can I adjust the pan.  Both right and left work in Garageband but not in Imovie.

    I'm getting audio in voiceover recordings only on the right side in playback.  How can I adjust the balance?  I'm using an external mic and preamp that work fine (both channels) in Garageband, so it's not my recording setup.  Balance is Ok using internal mic but the sound is not as good.

    When you share your project, use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
    Click Options.
    In the Sound settings/Channels, choose MONO.
    In the Video settings, choose the codec of your choice (probably h.264) under Compression.

    I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?

    Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • How can I adjust the font size of my printouts?

    I have an HP Officejet 4500 all-in-one printer and a new HP pavilion Slimline computer.  Since I changed to this computer, my printouts have very small font size making them hard to read.  How can I adjust the font size of the printout?  Is it a computer or printer function? I appreciate the help.

    I, too, am frustrated.  This seems like something that would easily be handled within the application software.  However, none of the fixes I've been offered have been very helpful.  My cousin sugested using Control C and Control V to move the text to WORD.  Once in WORD, you can manipulate the text on a WORD page...sometimes.  I've had good and bad luck with this method.  It still requires working in two different programs to get it legible.  Does anyone else have a 4500  All-in -one with this problem, or is it only me?  Thanks,  [Edited for Personal Information]

  • How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11?

    How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11?  Specifically, when in Artist view both the text in the sidebar and the track listing are huge.

    How to change fontsize in iTunes
    Take an XML-Editor and open:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\TextStyles.plist"
    For other languages change your country code (de, en, fr, pl ...).
    Example for english:  "\en.lproj\TextStyles.plist".
    Backup this File !!!
    To change the Text-Size, change the integer value of the following item:
    "<key>size</key>"
    "<integer>8</integer>"
    This means Text-Size 8
    "<key>size</key>"
    "<integer>12</integer>"
    This means Text-Size 12
    To change the font, change the integer value of the following item:
    <key>font</key>
    <string>Arial</string>
    This means the font changes to Arial
    This also works:
    <key>italic</key>
    <true/>
    <key>bold</key>
    <true/>
    <key>underline</key>
    <true/>

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

  • How can I adjust the font size, etc., when completing a PDF form in Preview?

    I would like to use Preview to fill-out or complete a PDF form.  The default font that Preview uses when I begin typing in a field is too large.  How can I adjust the font size.  And while I'm asking, can I also adjust the font color, weight, emphasis, etc.?

    Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

    How can I adjust the length (the sustain time) of a note after I have selected the note? Many thanks.

    Just drag the right end back and forth (mouse over the end of the note - a ] appears) - by holding down ctrlshiftdragging you can change the subdivision into ticks. In the Midi event editor you can do it numerically - just change the numbers displayed in the length section.

  • How can we test the camera megapixel?

    Hi All,
    I need to know how can we test the camera megapixel?
    For instance: If i have a 2MP camera how would i test it is 2MP, is there any measurement device or standards for mega pixel?

    1600 x 1200 is 2mp not 1.3. Your friends phone must also be 2mp or the picture was taken on another phone.
    It's easy to work out yourself.
    1600 multiplied by 1200 = 1,9200,000 pixels more commonly known in the industry as 2mp.
    1.3mp is 1280 x 960 (1,228,800 pixels).
    More megapixels does not always equal better quality. The lens and software are also a big quality factor. I have seen many 1.3mp phones that take better pictures than a 2mp phone because they have a better lens.

    How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
    Hope that helps.
