16:9 widescreen format question

How do I create a project so my video will be in 16:9 widescreen format? I am using Premier Elements 12. As of now my videos are in 4:3 format when I upload them to Youtube.

The usual drill is to set the project preset to match the properties of your source media so that the program is directed to set up the right space in the Edit area monitor for editing purposes. So, if you have 4:3 format, then your project preset would probably be NTSC DV Standard or it PAL counterpart.
But, under the circumstances, look at this idea....
Open your Premiere Elements 12 project to the Expert workspace and make sure that the project preset is the default 1080i30
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
or its PAL counterpart
Import your 4:3 video into the project with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag your video to the Expert workspace Timeline.
Click on the screen so that you see a bounding box around the image there and drag on the bounding box handles to scale the image just to display in the screen with no black borders.
Publish+Share/Social Websites/YouTube with preset = High Definition Video for YouTube 1920 x 1080.
What does that look like once it is uploaded to YouTube 16:9?
The idea goes against the grain if you are starting with 720 x 480 (or PAL counterpart 720 x 576) and taking it to 1920 x 1080. But see if you can get away with it.
In your scheme of things, are black borders acceptable. What I am asking you to try ends up with 16:9 with no black borders. But I am not too comfortable with the SD to HD.
Please review and then let us know the outcome.
In questions such as these, please give properties of the source media.
Thanks.

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

  • Locking the 16:9 Widescreen format?

    If I had a 16:9 Widescreen video placed into iDVD properly, with a widescreen menu too, is there a way to "lock" the widescreen format so if a person watched my dvd on a 4:3 tv (standard tv), they would see it with a letterbox, no matter if the dvd player was set on PS (Pan and Scan) or Letterbox? In other words, can iDVD preserve the widescreen format so that it CANNOT be cropped on a dvd player? When I used iDVD 06, I created multiple widescreen dvds which I gave to friends, however, they complained that the video seemed cropped and the text was sometimes cut off. I assume they had their dvd player set to PS (Pan and Scan), which crops a 16:9 video and makes it 4:3, thus cutting off the sides. I like the multiformat of iDVD, especially when my widescreen dvd's actually play correctly on a widescreen tv, however, is their a way to lock it widescreen for a 4:3 tv, and keep it widescreen for a 16:9 tv??? Thanks, gategoer

  • How to record iSight video in widescreen format

    Does anyone know the answer to this? It seems bizarre that although when recording video in iMovie the video window itself is in 16:9 format, the actual video is still in 4:3. Are there any video settings that i've missed? It's driving me nuts.

    You can crop the 4:3 clip to fit the widescreen format:

  • Landscape formatting question

    Can anyone help me with a formatting question? I have a number of PDFs that are landscape format. Every time I open them they default to portrait, even when I change orientation in page set-up and re-save...

    You are only changing the view, not the pdf. Use the Rotate command in the Document menu, not the view menu.

  • Widescreen Format custom preset in Compressor 4?

    I used to do HD (16X9) format only, but ever since I saw other views, especially really cool looking cinematic music videos carrying the widescreen format I've been wanting to apply that to my videos. Currently my only known solution to this is simply making an image that fits exactly on my frame with two black bars to letter box my 16X9 videos in FCPX. I tried making a custom preset in Compressor 4 with the dimension of the video set to 1920X800 which is exactly 2.40X1 in aspect ratio. I also turned the pixel aspect ratio to sqauare but the results still looked weird. The video was simply squished down with a large black bar at the top and the dimension of the video was still 1920*1080.
    Enough with the rubbish (I'm not good at explaining things). Does anyone know how to formuate a custom preset in Compressor 4 so that when I export from FCPX using Compressor presets the file would be natively 1920*800 and that the excess pixels are trimmed away automatically? Or is there an option in FCPX itself that allows me to set the aspect ratio of my video to widescreen in the first place?
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to export a clip with a black JPEG file from MPEG Steamclip at 1920*800 24fp, but when I put it in my timeline in FCPX the video option window droped down saying that the format is not recognised and forced me to use the presets the came with it. Any other solution?
    Thanks

  • Cascading lookup format questions

    Hi everyone,
       I have a couple of questions regarding formatting the cascading look up fields.  I have a list that filters classes and mnemonics by educator which works fine however on the entry form, when the "Educators" drop down menu is changed,
    a secondary description box appears. The question is, how do I get rid of that secondary description box?
    The second formatting question is that when I have filled out the form, on the edit entry form, there is a hyperlink to the list that the cascading lookup is using as a reference. How do I get rid of that link? See image 002 below

    It's not easy to understand the question, please attach the image here.
    if you mean to achieve a cascade lookup in SharePoint new/edit form, after selecting one column, the cascaded column below will show with filtered value, otherwise, the column is hidden, you may consider to use JavaScript/JQuery to show/hide the second column,
    following is an article about how to use cascaded lookup in SharePoint:

  • Video Is In Widescreen Format -- HELP!!

    Yesterday, I offered to convert a digital videotape of an Easter play into a DVD. That was before I found out the guy who recorded the play did so in widescreen format.
    I currently have iMovie 4 on my iMac. When I imported it, the video looks very stretched (which I thought would happen). Is there any way iMovie 4 can import a widescreen video, or is it time to get iMovie5 (or 6) for something like this??
    Please help ... Thanxx!!
    Ryan

    It's time to get iLife '06 (which includes widescreen capable versions of iMovie and iDVD).

  • Shot in 4:3 aspect ratio, but when i capture it turns to widescreen format

    I shot my footage in standard 4:3 aspect ratio, and when i import it the clip looks fine, but when i drag it to the timeline it goes into widescreen format, and i can't figure out why it is doing this. If i select the clip from my browser window and play it in my viewer window it plays fine in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but when i drag it to the timeline it goes to wide screen and it stays that way. Please help

    Sounds like your sequence settings are off. If you hit command>0 (zero) you should be able to change them. One way to know they are off for sure is if when you drag your clip to the timeline you get the red line above it meaning it needs rendering. You should never have to render if your sequence settings are right.
    In sequence settings make sure all your settings match the format of you clip. Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, Editing Timebase, and compressor. That should do it.
    You could also just use the Easy Setup to change the whole project to match DV.

  • Maintain DV widescreen format when copying iMovie project back to tape

    Using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and copying a project back to tape via the camcorder, but the 16:9 widescreen format gets squeezed into 4:3 ratio. Not sure if this is fixable. In the Preferences, I turned off the auto pillarboxing under Import, but did nothing as I suspected. In Playback checking Play DV project video through to DV camera also yielded no change.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Trouble maintaining widescreen format when combining clips

    I made a demo reel from three of my movies. I made the first movie in non-widescreen format (4:3) in iMovie 6. The other two I made in widescreen (16:9) in iMovie 9.
    I was able to rip (using a product called Cinematize) one scene each from a burned disc of each movie and combine them--one after another--into one iMovie 9 Project. But then I noticed that the movie playbacks seemed odd--rather than two of them being in 16:9, they all were in 4:3.
    I called Apple Support and they said that you can't combine formats the way I want to. They said that if one of the clips is 4:3, the rest will automatically be formatted that way.
    But I still want to do this--keep the two 16:9 clips in that format. Does anyone have a workaround? Thanks.

    Try this:
    Open the slideshow.mov in QT Player Pro and export it as a DV stream with the 16:9 flag set. Then import the .dv file to a widescreen iMovie project.
    Then iMovie should treat it as 16:9.
    Hmm... what is the frame rate of the .mov? The .dv should use the same fps but it is fixed at ntsc 29.97 or PAL 25 fps for .dv.

  • Widescreen format on purchased movies

    I am running Apple TV through a 42" Lowe TV using the 1084 HD setting. The format I normally run on is letterbox and the TV allows multiple types of widescreen format. When I play my movie purchased through iTunes, I cannot override the format using the TV, yet the movie itself is stretched vertically, as if you were watching standard pan and scan rather than widescreen. Any quick fix?

    Try hitting MENU and + on the Apple remote for 6 seconds. This should allow you to cycle thru the display resolutions. See if one gives the picture you want. Does the Lowe's have a native or maximum setting you can set before for selecting the input the TV is on.
