Trouble exporting non-standard frame size

So I have to deliver a Quicktime that's 210w x 190h that will eventually be compressed for web posting. The source footage is DV/NTSC (720x480). I cut my initial sequence at those specs and then nested that into a 210x190 sequence and resized the nest to fit, maintaining aspect ratio (i.e. sides were cropped). But whenever I export to QT, the frame size is stretched horizontally when viewed on a computer monitor. I've tried exporting that sequence "with current settings", set the sequence to square pixels, exported as Animation or "none", exported using Compressor with every conceivable combination....all to no avail. They all spit out the same problem.
Am I missing something?

Thanks Tom, you clarified it .......  or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600  frame dimensions appeared but the  frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p  and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing  .........  when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

  • AV output and non-standard frame sizes

    I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
    Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
    Cheers,
    Matt

  • I thought FCP X 10.1.1 could handle non-standard frame sizes?

    Yesterday I was demonstrating FCP X 10.1.1 to a friend.
    As time was limited I imported the nearest piece of video I could find, which happened to be part of an H.264  video tutorial with a frame size of  960 x 600 and a frame rate of 30fps.
    I hit the E key to send it to the timeline only to receive the old "not recognised" error message as shown below.
    I thought I may have created the project incorrectly but when I repeated with a new project I double-checked that I had selected "Set based on first video clip".
    I thought that FCP X 10.1.1 would automatically recognise a non-standard frame size and simply create an appropriate project.
    I was too busy doing the demo to investigate at the time but later I discovered that there was no problem creating a 960 x 600 custom project manually.
    It's a pity FCPX is not clever enough to do it automatically  ............  or can it?

  • Editing non standard video sizes

    Hello everyone.
    I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format.  All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects.  So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
    Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size.  Surely there is a way of doing this? 
    Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not?  You must be able somehow to do your own size?
    Thanks

    Thank you for replying.
    Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles  I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web.  Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
    I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
    I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size.   I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
    Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

  • Export Media- matching frame sizes to codec formats

    The short version of this would be "what are the most common settings for compressed video at 720p"?
    Reading the suggested settings for youtube and other sites simply leads me to more questions, as the presets from premier that get close to matching these recommendations all seem to have odd framerates and frame sizes...
    The long:
    Producers that have me scoring audio to some short bumper intro clips have had me download the quicktimes from vimeo. Revealing the Inspector in quictime, i see the specs on the video files ("Photo- Jpeg" compression format, in what I've been told is 'true 720p resolution' (1280x720), at 59.94 fps). Yet cant seem to find similar export settings as presets in Premiere. I am aware of the very useful function of being able to match master project settings from within the Media, but other people who recieve the preview clips note 'why are these in Photo- Jpeg'?
    When I use premier presets that contain 720p res, they are often an odd frame size, which again renders questions from the recipient (why is this 720p at 24drop?) etc. So wondering why the difference between what I recieve and what's available from the same video format preset.
    For instance When choosing "Photo- Jpeg" as a preset, the res is indeed 720p, yet the frame is nowhere near 1280x720 (not in front of my rig right now but its something like 900x720). In fact quicktime presets come up with these odd frame sizes as well. The presets Im able to locate so far that hold full-frame HD output settings are branded DV and HDV camera options...meanwhile '720p NTSC' is also in odd frame sizes under presets, not sure what to make of that...maybe I was mistaken in thinking 720p NTSC runs at 59.94?
    I understand that Youtube, Vimeo and other sites we may be using have their 'recommended settings' faq pages. However my main concern is whether these are also typical settings for compressed quicktimes that producers may want delivered offline as well? Is there a 'standard' at all?
    Read alot of FAQs over the past couple days, but these mainly discuss the options available and how to get to them, not finding alot of info regarding
    "when to use export settings and why".so I come to you for your expertise...
    Thanks for your patience and your insight folks!

    >  Is there a 'standard' at all?
    No.
    Sorry, but that's the simple answer.
    Regarding Photo-JPEG versus H.264:
    Photo-JPEG codec in a QuickTime container is rather common for such purposes as stock footage---when the quality really matters, but file size (for bandwidth purposes) has to be considered, too.
    H.264 is much more effective at compressing a file, but usually at the expense of some image quality. YouTube---to put it bluntly---doesn't care about the quality of movies the way that a stock footage website does, so YouTube prefers H.264. If you upload a video in a nice, high-quality, perfect file, YouTube will recompress it behind the scenes for playback---so you might as well give it what it wants in the first place so that you at least have some control over how your image is destroyed... er... compressed.
    There's some more general information about output formats and codecs in this movie that I made:

  • Newby - Problems exporting non-standard characters to .CSV or tab delimited

    I am trying to export data from a table where many of the text fields contain non-standard characters like double quotes *["]* or *tabs*. If I *export to a .CSV* file, the embedded double quotes invariably foul up the alignment of the output columns and if I select a *tab delimited export*, the embedded tabs do the same thing.
    Is there anyway that I can specify the text delimiter to use so that I can select a character that is not used in the text (like, for example the tilde *[*]*)?
    I am using Discoverer 3.1
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    With a complicated export requirement like this it is often better to create a calculation that returns the fields in the required format as a single column e.g.
    col1||'~'||col2||'~'||col3
    Then you can just export the report as a text and get all the fields with the correct separators and replaced characters.

  • Minor screen drawing anomaly with non-standard page sizes in outline mode.

    When I use a page size of 5.5 x 8.5, and the window is larger than the page, the right edge of the page is drawn incorrectly. Instead of a small shadow at the right edge, there are black blotches. As far as I can tell, this only occurs in outline mode, only on the first page, only in sizes other than 8.5 x 11.
    Not a big deal, clearly, but someone ought to log it. Some memory somewhere is not getting written correction. This is easily reproducible.
    I'll post a screen shot somewhere if anyone wants to pursue this.

    It is fun to explore this question and I have tried to reproduce the problem, but my Pages09 behaves with "all" different page setups like A4, US Letter, half US Letter , US Legal. It would be nice to see the screen shots if it isn't to much trouble.

  • Is it possible to print non-standard photo sizes?

    hello-
    i searched the forums but could not find anything related to my question. thanks in advance for any advice you have.
    i want to print a photo that is an odd size 6x10 for use in a scrapbook. this is my first time printing a photo that is not a standard size and i have been unable to find how to do this.
    i have tried to set a custom paper size in "Page Setup" (hoping to "trick" it into doing it). However, the custom size does not show up in iPhoto.
    I am editing to add that I am printing at home on a Canon Pixma iP6000D.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Vanessa

    Vanessa:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't do it with iPhoto. You'll need a 3rd party application. Give Seashore a try. It is a freeware application. You can crop and resize in Seashore to print any sized image you want. For more advanced editors you might consider GraphicConverter or Photoshop Elements. PSE is capable of some very advanced editing.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Trouble exporting photos with correct size

    I took some pictures of a friends daughter for her senior pictures and the school has very specific size requirements for photos submitted.  They state they have to be 2.5" high and 2.0" Wide and 300 resolution. 
    I set these dimensions in the export box under image sizing but when I go back to check the size after export it isn't correct.  The width came over correct but the height comes over at 1.976".  I've tried checking and unchecking the box "don't enlarge" and I get the same result. 
    I did crop the original photo. 

    Without seeing the photo, there's no way for us to tell. It may be you need to take another head shot with more "space" around it so the crop will work. Wedding photographers do this all the time, their initial photo has lots of unneeded "space" around the subject so that they can crop at various different aspect ratios.

  • Trouble exporting jpegs in reduced sizes from LR 5.3

    I often export images as small, low res jpegs (usually, but not always, from NEF files) for my customers' social media use.  Recently, no matter what dimensions or resolution I enter on the export page, LR still exports it a a full size jpeg.  I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 and subscribed to CC (PS and LR only) at the end of December although I was already using this version of LR.  How can I remedy the problem?

  • Printing on non-standard page size

    Hi
    I'm developing a class that prints a single page tiff on plotter. The page size is not standard. In most cases it is as wide as an A0 or as an A3 but the height has to be computed depending on the size of the image.
    First question: how can I get the height in 72nds of an inch from a RenderedImage that contains the tiff? All I can get is its size in pixels, but I cannot get the resolution...
    Second question: I tried to set the paper size in the pageformat with a new instance of Paper and also the imageableArea, but some part of the image are not printed and the image is deformed.
    Have you got any suggestion?
    Here's the piece of my class that actually prints. If you need, I can post the entire class
    class PrintTif implements Printable {
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat f, int pageIndex) {
          if (pageIndex >= 1) {
            return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          if (renderedImage != null) {
                  //  Converts the image size in 72nd of inch
                  //  supposing it has 200x200 dpi (it is so, but I don't know why)
                  double w = (double) renderedImage.getWidth() / 200.0 * 72.0;
                  double h = (double) renderedImage.getHeight() / 200.0 * 72.0;
                  // Set the papersize and the imageableArea at the sime size
                  Paper paper = new Paper();
                  paper.setSize(w, h);
                  paper.setImageableArea(0,0,w,h);
                  f.setPaper(paper);
                  f.setOrientation(w > h ? PageFormat.LANDSCAPE :
                                   PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
            // convert to a BufferedImage since I cannot write a RenderedImage for some reason
            BufferedImage good = new BufferedImage(
                  renderedImage.getWidth(), renderedImage.getHeight(),

  • Trouble Exporting images in full size

    I can't seem to export an image with the original file size. I have reset the export image size to original jpeg settings and every setting I can find and it still exports a small low resolution file.

    The setting you are wanting to change is the "Size to" pull down menu,
    Original size is the original size of the file as cropped, uncropped you get pixel for pixel or if you happen to crop in on a small area of the image you will only get a small file.
    Fit within pixels, great for screen and video use, eg 1024x768 or 1920x1080 etc
    Fit within inches/centimeters, great for preset print sizes and creating different presets for different printers, eg. 10"x10" this is where dpi comes into effect.
    Percentage of original, smaller or larger.
    note that these settings do not crop the image or change a 2:3 image to a16:9 image, rather they constrain the image to fit within the dimensions. eg, I have an album of images to go to 5"x7" prints, vertical and horizontals, first I have to crop to 5x7, then I export to a preset that is 7"x7" @300dpi, this contrains the exported images to 7"@300dpi (2100pixels) on the longest side.

Assuming that you mean "why might I create a tablespace that uses a block size that is different than the block size of the database," the reason Oracle built that functionality was to facilitate transporting a tablespace from one database to another when they used different block sizes. That's generally the only reason this makes sense. There are a handful of cases where there might be a valid reason that it might benefit performance but it that is quite rare and changing the block size is even less frequently the best way to solve the performance problem.
