Video Menus Stretched/Zoomed

I am exporting a HD video out of FCP for a background in a SD Project in DVDSP. I am exporting the sequence out of FCP to compressor and compressing it using the standard DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes - 16:9::: MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-Pass 16:9 setting. I have my menus in the inspector of DVDSP set to 16:9 and my project settings the same. However when i build and burn the project the menu's stretch way past a 4:3 or 16:9 tv...buttons as well. It is as if its being zoomed into the menu. ( and no I am not on Panscan). Any Advice?

The standard presets should have the frame controls set to auto. This should automtically resize your video to fit the smaller frame size. You can check the setting on the output file in your batch to see if they are different than the default preset. Check the geometry tab to make sure the image is not getting cropped (at least not more than 4 top and 2 bottom to compensate for the 486 vs. 480 frame size).
Do your mpeg files look correct if you view them with QT player, do they look right in the menu viewer in DVDSP, how about simulator? If they look right in all the places you can check them before you brun, but the burned disc is still cropping your menus, something weird is going on.
You might also try nesting your HD sequence into a SD sequence in FCP. You'll lose a little quality this way, but it might slove your problem for the short term.
Hope ths helps.

  • Stretch/Zoom instead of resize/realign?

    Wanted to know if (and how) to set up a flex application to
    not resize, but instead zoom/stretch (or however you explain it).
    For example, if I have a flash video that is 400 x 300, and I
    resize the browser, the video zooms/stretches to fit the browser.
    In a flex app, it resizes, but its not stretching/zooming, it is
    actually re-positioning the components (and they all stay the same
    size).
    Is it possible to make the flex app stretch/zoom insted? If
    so, how?
    Thanks -

  • 2 Out Of 9 Short FCE Videos Mysteriously Stretched In iDVD.

    I posted this in the iDVD forum yesterday but have received no response and it now appears it could equally be an FCE problem.
    Yesterday I made 9 short slideshow videos in Final Cut Express, exported them as QuickTime Movies (NOT self-contained) and dragged them into a 4:3 PAL iDVD project. (The pictures were hi-res JPEG scans of 35mm slides so have an aspect ratio of 3:2 and appear letterboxed in the 4:3 sequences in FCE).
    On playing the project in iDVD, 2 of the 9 videos were stretched and had the statement "Widescreen Preview" in green.
    Yet all the videos were created identically.
    Thinking it was maybe an FCE problem I checked all the project/sequence data in FCE and it was all OK. They also played back normally in both FCE and QT Player.
    Can anyone suggest how this has happened?
    This morning I trashed both FCE’s and iDVD’s preferences to no avail.
    I have also re-exported the videos as self-contained QT Movies but still no luck.
    One other, more sinister “problem”, is that last night I let the cursor hover over the iDVD playback button and the iDVD monitor suddenly started giving a fantastic display of brightly coloured geometrical shapes ...... mostly triangles, I think.
    Then when I switched back to FCE there was a strange interface break-up just under and around the cursor looking like lots of small black squares or mosaics. I switched both apps off immediately and went to bed!
    A failing video card?
    So far this morning, after trashing preferences, repairing permissions and disconnecting the power cable for several minutes, both programs appear to be OK, but I am expecting the worst!

    Hi Ian, try looking over these two threads:
    The short and seemingly useful one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8995428
    The long and somewhat unhelpful one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1475310&start=0&tstart=0
    The key in the first one seems to be re-saving the movie as a self-contained movie using QT Pro. I wonder if the same thing would work if you exported as a self-contained QT movie from FCE?
    The second one toys around with the AIFF audio being the problem, and suggests a workaround using a program called Inverse-Anamorphicizer. I'm not sure if I believe the conclusion about the audio these people came up with...
    You might try the QT Pro approach first and see if that fixes it, especially because the second thread is quite long.
    Also, take a look over this MacFixIt link:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20080612095355771
    Apparently you are not the only one with this problem!

  • Import file problem, the video is stretched

    I have a 720*576 .mov file, but when I import this file in iMoive, the video is stretched, it have two black bars on both sides... How can I fix it?
    Thanks very much!!

    Where did this video come from? Captured from a camera? Open the file into the QT player and report exactly what it says in the movie inspector. You might need to run it through MPEG Streamclip or the QT pro player to fix the anamorphic flag.

  • Video cropping and zooming issue

    I'm new to this product and couldn't find my specific issue (or at least didn't recognize it).
    I was using downloaded video to make a simple music video (to experiment with on the trial version).  So I have the first clip in the sequence and then I add a second clip and after working with it for a few minutes notice that in the sequence viewer the video is enlarged and the sides are cropped so I'm only seeing an enlarged picture of the center.  The zoom was still on fit though.  I don't understand why the video was automatically zoomed and cropped by Premiere and when I delete the clip and put it back in it does the same.
    Any insight?
    The first clip in the video  was a  640 x 360  While the second video was 1280 x 720 and both had square pixels (1.0)
    They were however both WMVs.

    The fact that the Zoom level is set to Fit means that the view in the Program Monitor is zoomed to fit the panel, not that the clip is scaled to fit the sequence.
    If your second clip is larger than the first, and you place the second clip into a sequence that is sized for the first, then you are naturally only going to see a piece (such as the cropped center in your case) unless you scale the second clip down. Or use a bigger sequence.
    If you want the clip to automatically be scaled to fit the sequence, then you can turn on the Default Scale To Frame Size preference. (See this for a video explanation of that preference.)
    In general, you scale with the Scale property of the Motion effect, not with the Zoom setting in the panel.

  • Stretch(Zoom) in iTunes

    I've loaded iTunes U video clip  and play in itunes  ,but I didn't see a zoom button to stretch that video on my macBook Pro.
    It's only appear on Quicktime player .
    I don't need a black bar on the left or right screen . for 4:3 clips.
    How to solve this problem?  Just add a little button and some Quicktime feature.
    It's useless to have a 16:9 screen display on macBook, if you cannot use .

  • One of the Video monitors is zoomed in

    Hey Guys,
    I am using CS3 for Mac. For some reason all the video in the right monitor (pardon my lack of terminology) is zoomed in. I checked the scale on each of these clips and they are all 100%. If I double click them to play in the left monitor it plays at the correct size. It must be something simple, but I don't see any kind of filter on the whole video track or anything. Any ideas what that could be?
    Thanks,

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks. It is kind of strange though, because I captured the footage directly from the same DV cam I always do (with the same settings). I am mixing the actual dumped video with some still images I imported and they are various sizes. Could this cause it? I am doing the images on a 2nd video track. Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thanks,.

  • The video is automatically zoomed in (cropped)

    during the video calls if the other person is using and android phone in lanscape mode the received video will be extremely zoomed in and showing only just a part of what should appear and in the full screen mode if I moved the mouse cursor to the very right or left edges it will start to show some other hidden part of the video !!! zoomed in is a good feature but not to be automatically zoomed in I believe that it is a bug not a feature when it is done without the permission of the user .. who wants to see a small part of the receved video ?!!!

    This happens for me too. The result: I can just about see someone's full face when they're exactly in the center. Previously, I could make a pinch gesture with my fingers in order to zoom out the picture. But this has stopped working since a few weeks ago. I've tried rebooting the device and that didn't resolve anything, so I'm thinking that something changed in the software that made it break.

  • Super thin black border showing around video when I zoom out or pan the video...

    Hi all,
    I have a video I'm making in Adobe Premier Pro CS5.5. I am using 2 video slots in Premiere Pro's sequence area. A white image is in "Video 1" spot and a video is in"Video 2" spot.
    The white image in "Video 1" slot is the exact same color as the background color of the video in "Video 2" slot.
    The reason for this is when I zoom the video out or pan it slightly off the screen I just want it to look like the video is moving (and I don't want anyone to be able to see the black backdrop that is normal background color on a Premiere Pro video).
    After I go to effects control, and change the position and scale of the video; the video scales out and pans over fine ...however, the border of the video shows slightly ...even flickers a little. Is there a way to get rid of this thin black border line? ..So no one can tell where the video (in "video 2" slot) ends and where that white background I have in "video 1" is ...by removing this flickering border?
    Here's a Screencast of the issue. I point at that thin border I'm talking about when I pan the video over (which reveals the white backdrop):http: Screencast.com/t/45xp0bQ82f
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide. I appreciate it.

  • Why is the video camera really zoomed in???

    Hi.
    Has anyone else noticed that when you use the Iphone4 camera in video mode, it is zoomed in compared to the still camera? It makes it really difficult to shoot anything close up and is just really annoying. Why should it be different, surely it use the same lens for both.
    Thanks

    The camera is 5MP. The camera records at 720P which is 1280×720= 0.9216MP. The easiest way for them to record this without using a lot of processing power is to use only the pixels in the middle of the camera which means it will be zoomed in.

  • Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

    Hi,
    In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
    Check if it makes any difference.
    Thank You

  • PAL video looks stretched out in HD project?

    I imported some PAL video, which is 720 x 576 pixels.
    I am putting this onto a project set to 1920 x 1080.
    When I put it on the timeline, it becomes stretched out, so the faces look weirdly disproportioned.
    This seems to happen whether or not I check 'match sequence settings' when I drop it into the timeline.
    Is there an effect or filter I can apply to this video to make the video not look stretched? I don't care if it has to be letterboxed or black-barred on the side.
    Thanks,
    AM

    Right click the clip, Remove Attributes > Distort.

  • Captured video is stretched too wide

    I connect my camcorder to my Mac with a Firewire cable and capture video but the result is stretched too much.
    Instead of widescreen (16:9) it is more like 19.5 to 9!
    I am new to Mac, I have a new Macbook Pro and am still learning. 
    The camcorder is a Sony DCR-HC62E using MiniDV tapes, not high definition.
    I connect them with a Firewire cable, 4 pin at the camcorder end and 9 pin at the Mac.
    I told iMovie it was Widescreen (16:9).
    I tried USB but nothing happened, do I need a driver and how do I find one, I've not had much luck with the Sony website.

    Does it look OK in FCP?
    If so follow these instructions for outputting 1280x720 for the web.
    Select File>Export>Using QT Conversion.
    Click the "Options"  button and when the the Options window opens you will see  "Size", "Settings" and  "Sound" buttons.
    Click the Size button and set 1280 x 720
    Click  the Settings button and  select:-
    Compression Type . . . . H.264
    Frame Rate . . . . . . . . . Current
    Key Frames . . . . . . . . . Automatic
    Compressor Quality . . . High
    Encoding . . . . . . . . . . "Faster" encode will give almost the same quality as "Best" but is twice as fast - your decision!
    Data Rate . . . . . . . . . . Restrict to 3,000kbps  (Don't use a comma when you enter the number)
    Then click the "Audio" button and make sure that AAC has been selected.

  • IPad 4 video camera is zoomed in, how to unzoom?

    The photo feature seams to be fine but when I switch to video mode it seems that it is zoomed in. I cant figure out how to unzoom this, is it a bug or is it really how it is supposed to look? It doesn't look good... Thanks for the help

    Can't real tell if what you are seeing is normal or not unless you post a screen shot. When you first start up Camera it should be zoomed all the way out by default. If you pinch in or out on the display in the Camera app the zoom slider will appear at the bottom to show you where the zoom is set. Even if you zoom all the way in it will return to zoomed out once it is restarted.
    If you suspect it is not working properly Reset the iPad which will fix many issues. If a Reset doesn't fix it you will have to Restore, first with a backup then as new if it is still not working properly.
    To Reset:
    From the Home screen double tap the Home button to view the multitasking bar at the bottom. Tap and hold an app at the bottom till the icons wiggle with the minus button visible. Tap the button to close all apps then tap the Home button to get back to the Home page. Press and hold the Sleep button till you see the Slide to power off message and power it off. Once powered down completely press and hold the sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

  • Sequence Video much more zoomed in

    Hey,
    The sequence video is zoomed in on my actual clip too far. I don't know hot to go back to a normal view. I tired all the settings (display mode and magnification). I tried making a new project, still a problem. All I did was add the clip to the timeline and its already messed up and over zoomed. The video to the left of the sequence is zoomed fine, not sure why the other isn't.
