16:9 scale from 2:3 video
Friends,
I'm new to FCP so please excuse this simple question: I shoot a lot of timelapse stuff with my "regular" digital camera. The files coming out of there are in the 2:3 ratio. I then grab all those pics and drop them in Quicktime Pro for it to make a video for me. OK, easy stuff. My stock photography company wants the videos in 16:9 ratio. I've been batching all the photos in Photoshop, cropping them to 16:9, then putting them back into Quicktime Pro. VERY wasteful and time consuming. I'm thinking to myself, there HAS to be a simple way to scale a 2:3 video into 16:9 ratio. Thank you in advance! Larry
Take the video file you generated in QT Pro from the stills, bring it into Compressor and set up a preset to crop the output to 16:9.

How do I download a movie from my ipad2 video app to apple tv
How do I view a recently downloaded movie from my Ipad2 video app to Apple TV?
If it is from the iTunes store you can watch it from iCloud on ATV. If it is not from the iTunes store the next best option is to add it to your local copy of iTunes and have ATV play it from there. You can always do it from AirPlay but that is a very error prone and degrages the quality.

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto
Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regardsI won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

I have a slew of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document “001.MPEG” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play? Thanks!
Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

Can't capture from my cannon video camera to Final Cut or iMovie.
Hi. I can't capture from my cannon video camera to FInal Cut or iMovie. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think my iMac is recognizing the camera. I was told I don't need a firewire, that USB would work if I'm just capturing. If I need a firewire what kind (the one I was sold didn't fit). I'm getting an "unable to locate external device message". Not sure of next steps to try. Thanks.

You require a firewire cable.
The camera connection end will be four pin and the Mac is nine pin to the 800 port.
Ask for a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. Sounds like you have the wrong one as they can also be 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 pin!!
Also you will need the correct Easy Setup in FCE so FCE talk to the camera, exactly which one depends on what type of footage is being sent to FCE from the camera during capture.

Can I burn a DVD with both 4:3 and 16:9 from a HD video edited in FCP
I created a video in FCP from a HD video camera. I usally burn a wide screen DVD, but this time I want to burn a 4:3 dv DVD. Can this be done? And if it can how would I do it? Please help.
Hi:
In DVDSP you can set 16:9 tracks/menus to display letterboxed in 4:3 TVs and full screen in 16:9 ones. In the item properties you must set as Display Mode: 16:9 letterbox (no Pan&Scan).
No need to re-edit the source in a 4:3 timeline.
Hope that helps !

? How does a G4 Powerbook or Qwksilver input S-video from an S video VCR ?
?? How does a G4 Quicksilver 2002 input S-video from an S video VCR ??
I want to use some pre-miniDV S-video footage
in an upcoming small Final Cut production.
?? Is there a conversion from S-video to firewire400 ??
Best regards, KenKen,
Simplest way? Use a digital camcorder to play the VCR's output through the camcorder, passing it to the Mac via FireWire, importing the converted DV with iMovie or another application. Most camcorders will do this, performing the conversion without needing to otherwise use a separate, dedicated hardware encoding device.

Best regards, KenThanks Malcolm for the info.
At first, an El Gato like system seemed to be an answer.
However, I do not want any compromise
of the quality of my 25 minute video clips
as this quality is vital to the overall theme.
?? Will the El Gato or even the Canopus
try to compromise my clips without my instruction or control ??
Thanks very much for your thoughts on this.

How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?
Hi,
Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
(a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
You can buy from this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Ports-PCI-Express-PCI-E-IEEE-1394A-Firewire-Adapter-Cable-Card-/1507023...
(b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

Is there a software program that automatically save stills from a QT video?
Just wondering if there's any software out there that will automatically save stills from a QT video? There's a program called Image Grabber by Cliprex that does this but it only works on PC's. You run it and it makes like 100 imge captures from the video clip and lets you go in and pick the best ones. Anyone know if there's a Mac equivallent out there that does this? Right now, the only way I know to get stills from a QT video is to manually go through it frame by frame and copy/paste, which is obviously very time & labor intensive. I would love to find something that does it for me automatically.

Hello Doug,
My first recommendation is to take a screen shot of your QT movie using not Preview but Snap Pro X. (You already know: you must pause the QT movie before taking the screen shot of the target frame.) Snap Pro X is the equivalent of Image Grabber for Windows machines.
SPX offers a choice of what size image (10% to 400%) you want and where to save the image (which you name in the window provided). I usually take screenshots with this app @ 100% and select "Save to Clipboard" because then you can open the clipboard image in GraphicConverter or PhotoShop Elements or PhotoShop and then set ppi resolution, adjust size or make any of the modification features available with these applications.
<http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/>
Also, I'm not certain but I "think" GraphicConverter can select a single frame from a QT movie. The best little trick is use is to open the clipboard mounted images using one of the "New from Clipboard" menu options. There is now a separate manual in pdf for GC; there've been so many new features added that it's wise to spend the extra money. GC is one of the best deals and best supported-by-author applications you can buy.
<http://www.lemkesoft.com/>
Both apps are shareware. Updates are free for GC but I'm not sure about Snap Pro X.

How to extract meta information from a wmv9 video file?
Hi,
I need to get the meta data (e.g. sample rate, length, resolution ..) extracted from a wmv9 video file.
I know that there is no direct support for wmv files in java, e.g. from the JMF. Although there is a plugin fobs4jmf available which is a wrapper for ffmpeg able to decode/encode wmv files it only has full support for wmv7 and wmv8 files.
Does anyone know a solution to parse wmv9 files in java on a linux/windows os?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.MediaInfo

Is annotation for a hyperlink to another video is possible from the original video?
hi there,
i have been working on Adobe Presenter trail period for a while and thanks to adobe it's a tremendous help. i have a doubt- is it possible to hyperlink to another video from the original video.
i.e after creating a video i want to integrate another video into the original one through an annotation that will be displayed on the original video which provides a link for my second video.Thank you, Ian. That sub-menu is what eluded me all right. It certainly seems to me to be one way I can do this: using the Paste Formula Results sub-menu under Edit. But before I copy the cells as you say, I will have to take several prior steps.
In the new sheet I have to select the top left cell of the subject range and there enter "=". Then, in the original sheet, I must select the corresponding cell. Returning immediately to the new sheet, I need to drag the cell right to extend the formula to two adjoining two cells. Now I need to drag those three cells to extend the formula to the bottom of my table (quite a number of rows, but the number matches that of the original sheet). Only at this point am I in a position to apply your suggested method: that is, copy what's already selected and use Shift-Command-V to paste the formula's result throughout the range.
I feel sure that will do it. But if anyone has any further suggestion as to how this could be done less cumbersomely, I would be very happy to hear it before I embark on the task ahead - because that will have to be repeated for another 24 new sheets in a couple of files. Quite a lot of work.
So, whilst you've helped me materially, a question still remains as to whether some other method might be possible?
Regards,
Peter White
