4:3/16:9 combo. What easy setup & export settings would you use?

Trying to export a sequence combing 4:3 and 16:9 clips, expecting to get a dvd that plays 16:9 at full screen and pillarboxed 4:3. Instead I get full screen 4:3 and letterboxed 16:9 on my flat screen tv. Shot the 4:3 on my pre-16:9 Sony VX1000, and the 16:9 on my Sony Z5U. Working on FCE 4.0 and authoring on iDVD.
Have tried different easy setups and compression types, but always check the 16:9 choice when it comes up in FCE or iDVD. What am I missing here?
Thanks

For the future change your preset to the correct DV Anamorphic preset.
For this sequence I'm not sure. Try this. Set the correct DV Anamorphic preset and make a new sequence. Copy and paste the contents of the incorrect sequence and paste into the correct one. Select all the clips and use the Remove Attributes function. This should reset the anamorphic material into the correct aspect ratio. I'm not sure what it's going to do to the 4:3 media. Try it.

What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6. Thank you.

Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

ActiveX in BradySoft (CodeSoft) - What Class/Method/Object's would I use to send variable form data to BradySoft?

What Class/Method/Object's would I use to send variable form data to BradySoft? I have a basic label setup in BradySoft and I want to send it variable form data (a serial number) from Labview ActiveX. I have attached Brady's ActiveX programmers guide but can't figure out what to use for this. P.S. I would call Brady or TekLynx tech support about this but they have a strict policy whereas BradySoft supports ActiveX but their tech support doesn't provide programming help with it. I figured I'd try the NI Forums.

Aaronb, I presume by publishing an ActiveX programmers manual the BradySoft software installs Active X objects. You may choose to interact with these objects within LabVIEW using Active X controls. The following link will provide a starting point for LabVIEW help topics on Active X communication: Select ActiveX Object Dialog Box

What function would you use instead of "IF" when referencing durations from a pop-up menu. Ie; if c4 equals 1h enter 280, if c4 equals 30m enter 160, etc. IF works fine if c4 is formatted as text but returns 0 when formatted as pop-up.

What function similar to IF would one use when the reference cell is a pop-up menu of items in duration format?
Example: if C4 equals 1h enter 280, if C4 equals 30m enter 160, etc
i can get it to work fine if I format the cell to text but I not only need it pop-up, I also need it to be written in duration format because it's used as duration in other functions.
thank you for your help in advance
Christina

Hi Christina,
A screenshot is always helpful.
C4 is your popup? You want to chose a duration there and have 280 or 160 show up somewhere else? Are they the results of a mathmatical formula or do you want a lookup table to show them?
I suspect something else is going on in your table. I have no trouble having a popup recognized as a duration:
The formula in C2 =DUR2MINUTES(B2) displaying "60" as expected. Note that "60" is not a duration. If I want C2 to be a duration I need the formula to read:
=DUR2MINUTES(B2)&"m".
I hope this helps, if not, post a screenshot including relevant formulas.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

What would you use to clean a USB female connector on a TP X200?

I accidentally spilled some thick sugary drink in there which dried up. What would you use to make it usable again?Thanks.

Try a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure to remove the power supply and battery and have plenty of swabs on hand. Don't soak the connector

What happens to iTunes credit when you use family sharing.

Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

What kind of printer would you use to print on a lorry?

Hi,
One of my client sells items from the lorry, so he wants his drivers to print invoices on the way. My question is what kind of printer would you use to print on a lorry? Any idea, experience?
Thx in advance,

Hi Laci,
There are quite a few mobile printers, for example HP does a range of battery powered Officejet printers which you could use on the go. For instance, check this out:

Editing 16:9 mp4 files from .mod ....what easy setup to use?

Hi everybody....I am trying to get started on an edit of some 16:9 mp4 files that I created from .mod files using MPEG Streamclip. I can now import the files into FCP and chose DV NTSC Anamorphic as the easy setup, and am having two problems for starters:
1. The canvas window is showing me the edit as a 4:3 letterbox
2. When I try to render clips, I get the message: "Render Error: Insufficient Disk space. Free up space with render manager and retry?" ....but even if I try to gain space by using that manager there is nothing in the list to remove anyway.... and so I am unable to render clips.
Any suggestions?

#1 - FCP doesn't edit mp4 files. That is not an editing codec. Convert to DV/NTSC using MPEG STREAMCLIP.
#2 - if you drop a clip into the timeline and have to render, that is a BIG CLUE that something is wrong. You should never have to render just a base clip if everything is setup right. That means converting the footage to DV/NTSC, and using the same settings in FCP.
#3 - Where is your media stored? And what type of SCRATCH DISK do you have? do no use your system drive to store footage or render to.

Easy Setups and settings not visible

I've created a few different easy setups and other settings for various situations as I've been working but for some reason none of the settings I've saved are accessible after I close the program. I've tried clicking the "show all" checkbox on the Easy Setups box but the only thing that happens then is that I'm unable to expand the list of Easy Setups or hit cancel (meaning all I can do is either uncheck the box or hit OK).
I have no clue why this is doing this and would appreciate any help. I'm using Final Cut 5.1.4 on a Dual-core Mac Pro...

Hi friend,
Please try to check you documents in transaction code VTFL by giving the Billing document (first) and the delivery document.
Definitely you can find the combination
And for your another question , In the table TVCPF you can see the sales document type ED which would have maintained in the VTAF copy controls from the Sales document to Billing documents
Please let me know if you have further queries.

What 'Digital Asset Management' system do you use?

I'm researching Digital Asset Management systems that I can use to create a elegant online image and graphic download centres, branded for individual clients.
Has anyone found or created their own solution in this field? I would be interested to hear of your experiences and view online examples if available.
Steve

Steve,
There are literally hundreds of Digital Asset Management systems out there as numerous vendors from a wide range of backgrounds (software vendors, printers, design agencies, video producers etc) all think they have some insight that makes them uniquely qualified for this field. This makes it a bit tricky to recommend a specific option as a lot depends on what kind of asset you're needing to manage. You need to do an assessment of:
What kinds of assets you're most interested in
How many there are (i.e. the scale of the library)
Is it single or multi-users, do you have external suppliers who may need access
If you have IT skills in-house to install and maintain the system
If so, what technologies you prefer, if not to what extent you are comfortable with external hosting and someone else holding the assets
What you want to do with the assets: download, manipulate, integrate etc.
Who will catalogue the assets and what kind of tagging/metadata etc. you want to apply
How the assets will get on/off the system and who decides whether they should or should not
With that information, it's easier to narrow down the list of potential candidates, but you will still have quite a few other decisions to make to isolate the right product for your needs.
If you're interested in information about Digital Asset Management, check our our site: http://www.daydream.co.uk for some reports and articles that are relatively spin-free (disclaimer: we're consultants so we can't claim total impartiality). We're also the original developers of an open source .NET based DAM: FocusOPEN Digital Asset Manager. If .NET doesn't appeal then http://www.opensourcedigitalassetmanagement.org seems to have a good run down of the major options that don't cost anything to get going.
Good luck

Drop down list / combo or list box properties that would be useful

Hi there,
I teach a class at a local college on Creating PDF forms. I have been going to a few forums and there are a few things I think would be useful to add to the dropdown and list items for the next version of Acrobat Pro.
1.) Adding a selection for Null or blank. In my list I have on top select an Item as default - should the value be 0 or left as blank? I would like something that would validate instead of leaving a blank area. I don't want to have to install a 3rd party plugin like form router.
2.) Multi-line Selections for items at least 2 lines would be good.
3.) Allow a way that I can copy and paste all my items and/or values in at once from excel or word. If I am doing countires I shouldn't have to type everything in again. I know this can be done in LC
4.) A library in Acrobat to store some of my dropdown menue that I would use often to create forms. Month, Days of Week, Provinces or State.
5.) Also a date callendar picker like in LC would be good as well for clients and speed up entry.
Would be interested to know if Adobe is planning any of these upgrades in a future version since LifeCycle is not available for Mac or Creative Cloud?

Don't expect any answers as to what Adobe is planning on doing. The people posting here are 99% users, just like you, not Adobe employees. And those who do know will probably not say so, anyway...
1) That's possible using a script. But you can always add a single space as the default value...
2) Also possible with a script, but very buggy and not recommended.
3) Also possible with a script.
4) That one's easy. Use a blank PDF file where you create those menus, and then you could simply copy them over to your other files from there.
5) There are currently two date pickers available for Acrobat forms: The one by FormRouter and a newer one by Max Wyss, which is not free but is quite good and uses a dialog object instead of form fields.
You can request new features here, by the way:
