4:3 clip getting squished instead of pillarboxed

Hi, I have a 16:9 sequence (DV PAL Anamorphic) to which I am adding a 4:3 clip (25fps, 720x576, DV PAL, PAL - CCIR 601). I would expect the clip to get pillar boxed but instead its getting horizontally stretched. I can change the aspect ration in Motion but when i do so, it only applies that to the selected frame in viewer instead of the whole clip.
How can I get the pillarboxing instead? I want that and then plan to scale up. I seem to only be having this problem with this particular clip, the others are pillar boxed.
thanks

I did not import with PAL anamorphic preset. I used DV PAL only.
If I look at the properties of the clip in the browser, the anamorphic flag is not checked. If I look at the same clip but now in the timeline and look at its properties, the anamorphic flag is still not checked.
I would expect that FCE would set the distort -> aspect ratio to 33.33 when i add it to the 16:9 timeline but instead of that, its just squishing it.
I can manually set the aspect ratio myself to 33.33 but even if i set this for the start and finish frame, when i play back it starts with the pillarbox (aspect ratio = 33.33 on the 1st frame) but then expands to fill the screen before shrinking back to get the pillarbox on the last frame (aspect ratio = 33.33 on the last frame).

Imported Rotated Clips get Squished vertically when imported

Had clips taken vertically and used Quick Time Pro to flip 90 degrees and look fine in Quick Time player. But when I put into iMovie and preview they are compressed vertically so everyone looks FAT!! Tried Final Cut Express Classic version and MPEG streamclip but cannot find a solution. I reviewed some similar posts but did not find the solution yet. John

Thank you very much Lennart. Still took me a while to get it right. The trick was to start with the sideways clip, rather than first rotating with Quicktime. When I exported and rotated in one step per the MPEG Streamclip instruction it worked fine and then opened great in iMovie 6. Appreciated quick help!!

Merged Audio clip gets shortened

Hello,
When I use the "merge clips" function some of my newly created clips have shorter attached audio files when dropped into the timeline.
I merged clips for hundreds of shots for a feature film with the "in point" for the merge. I have not set an end point for audio files when merging to accidentally make them shorter for merging. All appears good when I look at the merged clip in the "viewer". However, when I put some of the merged clips into the "timeline" the newly attached 'merged' audio clips are shorter than the video clips by a significant amount. I double click the merged clips and still see the audio is as long as necessary in the "viewer".
Why are my merged audio clips getting shortened in the timeline?
I tried to unlink the audio in the timeline, but the newly created merged audio file will not stretch out to the full capacity.
Thanks for the help.
Jason

Hi.
I have a bunch of audio & video files that last minutes in length that I am trying to link up for each shot. Some times it will be a 3 or 4 minute long take. When the audio is merged it only appears to be about 30 seconds long or less on the timeline. Yet, the entire original audio is minutes long.
When I look at the merged clip the audio stream is as long as it should be. (minutes instead of seconds) But, when it is put onto the timeline the merged audio is significantly shorter and I can't stretch out the merged clip to the appropriate length.
Thanks for reading and asking good questions.

If I'm already paying 149.99 to replace my water damaged Iphone 4 can I pay the Iphone 4s replacement price and get that instead? If No explain why please . Thank you

I have a water damaged Iphone 4 I have had for only 8 months. Today I went to the apple store to see how much a replacement was and the girl told me 149.99 for my iphone. What I was wondering is can i pay the replacment cost of an Iphone 4s and get that instead . I dont see the problem since my phone is broken anyways . But I would like to hearf if any one has tried the same thing.
Thanks

The only exception would be if there were no like models available. There was a short period when there were not sufficient supplies of the 3gs to effect warranty replacements. In that case, they replaced the 3GS with a 4 at no additional charge. But the warranty fine print specifies that they will repair or replace the device, at their discresion.

Can execut a query in Oracle UCM to get View_Values instead of using GET_SC

Dear All,
i have a question that i had google it and didn't find anything helpful.
i want to ask if i can execut a query in Oracle UCM to get View_Values instead of using GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VLAUES service ?
ie: asuume that we have a Table name called Employees (having empId, empName) and have a view named as Table name; Employees.
instead of use the GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VLAUES service to get the data of Employees, can i write a query, ex: select from Employees*_ to get the data.
note: i have a connection parameter to connect to oracle UCM database
any suggestions.
Regards

Yes, you can execute the query and store results into a result set (available also in iDocScript).
There are two sample components that you could use as a starting point - see here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/content/howtocomponentsbundle-132171.zip or here for 11g http://bexhuff.com/2011/03/howto-component-samples-for-oracle-ucm-11g
Take a look at DataAccess and DatabaseProvider from the sample stack.

Getting squish to work on IE inside accordion which is inside a table

Greetings all. I'm having trouble getting Squish to work
inside an accordion, on IE only. Everything works fine in Firefox.
Now, technically, this isn't a Spry problem; it's a problem with
the lame HTML I'm currently stuck with. See, everything works fine
when isolated in its own page. But when I drop the stuff into our
existing HTML, on IE the squish stops working. What happens is that
the div the squish is to open simply doesn't open up. it stays
hidden.
I've narrowed it down to this: it stops working when I put
the accordion divs inside a table cell. Yes, I'm stuck with using
tables for layout at this point and I can't change that. So the
question is, Is there a way I can get the squish to work in IE with
the accordion divs inside a table cell?
Here's the code:
<TABLE CLASS="bodyTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="820">
<TR>
<TD CLASS="middleCol" align="left" width="100%"
id="middleCol">
<div class="library_Accordion" id="library">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanel_1"class="library_AccordionPanel">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanelTab_1"class="library_AccordionPanelTab"
onclick="accordionSetSelectedTabCookie('_accordion_library',0)"><h3>Search
Library</h3></div>
<div id="library_AccordionPanelContent_1"
class="library_AccordionPanelContent">
<div>
jjjj
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div
id="library_AccordionPanel_2"class="library_AccordionPanel">
<div
id="library_AccordionPanelTab_2"class="library_AccordionPanelTab"
onclick="accordionSetSelectedTabCookie('_accordion_library',1)"><h3>Add
Custom PDF</h3></div>
<div id="library_AccordionPanelContent_2"
class="library_AccordionPanelContent">
fff
<input type="checkbox" name="AddToLibrary" value="1"
onclick="effect.start();resizePanel()">Add upload to Library?
<div>
<div id="AddToLibraryDiv" align="left"
style="visibility:hidden;display:none">
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var effect = new Spry.Effect.Squish("AddToLibraryDiv",{from:
"0%", to: "100%", duration: 100, toggle: true, fps: 90,
scaleContent: false});
function resizePanel(){
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.height="auto";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.visibility="visible";
</script>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var library = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion("library",{enableAnimation:true,steps:10,duration:200,defaultPanel: 0,useFixedPanelHeights:false});
</script>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Thanks to all for any advice!
Marc E.

now this is interesting: it appears that the problem is in
the construction of the effect widget. if I do this:
<input type="checkbox"
onclick="startIt();resizePanel();">check me
<script>
function startIt(){
new Spry.Effect.Squish("AddToLibraryDiv",{from: "0%", to:
"100%", duration: 200, toggle: true, fps: 90, scaleContent:
false}).start();
function resizePanel(){
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.height="auto";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('library_AccordionPanelContent_2').style.visibility="visible";
</script>
Then the div will show up. now, the behavior is wrong in that
it never disappears because of the way i'm doing it. still, this at
least leads me to believe that showing/hiding the div inside of an
accordion inside of a table cell is possible. So I can't use the
constructor in the normal manner... question is, is there a way to
do it otherwise?
thanks all!

Has anyone had trouble getting hangouts instead of text messages?

Has anyone had trouble getting text messages. I am getting hangouts instead of text messages.

Wife,
Once you merge SMS and Hangouts, Hangout becomes the default handler of incoming and outgoing SMS. To switch to SMS or Hangouts, click the icon on the left side of the Text box.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime files get squished when I put them back in iMovie

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is so. I am using quicktime pro in order to make a couple of "picture in picture" shots. Then I try importing the new clip into iMovie, but it doesn't look the same. Either one, two or all of the clips are squished together or not centered.
Does anyone have an idea why this may be so?

iMovie works natively in the DV compression format. So if you are playing around in QT Pro in some other format and them importing the files to iMove, they are being reconverted to DV compressed frames at specific frame sizes that may throw off any x/y-axis offsets you may have applied at other dimensions. In this case, it is generally best to do all your editing of individual clips in the editor, output the edited files in your targeted compression format, and then create your "picture-in-picture" scaled off-set display as the final step in QT Pro.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.
