640 x 480 Video Being Exported As 720 x 480

A few years ago I created (essentially) a video slide show in Final Cut Pro by importing 640dpi x 480dpi TIFF files and exporting them as a QuickTime movie. I'm trying to recreate the video using Final Cut Express HD, but every time I export the file, all of the 640dpi images are stretched to 720dpi. How do I export it as 640 x 480?

if you put a 640x480 image in the FCE timeline it will have a black edge around it because it's not standard format size. It's aspect ratio is adjusted to accommodate the change in pixel aspect ratio. You can see this in the Distort section of the Motion tab.
If the scale the image to fit the screen you're scaling it to 720x480 with its digital video aspect ratio. If you really want it 640x480, like for web display, then you have to export to QuickTime Conversion and use a custom size that 640x480.

IMovie '13 - v.10.0 - exporting in SD (640 x 480)???

The new version of iMovie lost a lot of its features and is clearly focused toward the social media side of things. After importing using SD cameras that import video in a *square* PiP format, I am finding it impossible to update any of my settings to export the video in any other format that wouldn't cut out the picture. Basically, the only settings I've found in the share option of the iMovie 10.0 cu off the tops and bottoms of all my recording. Previously, I used QuickTime settings to pick what format and quality I wanted to export in. Does anyone have any insight about how to export using, say, a 640 x 480 format or in being able to adjust to any format other than the standard ones giving.
Is there any other video software I can be using to import and export with that gives me more functionality? I'd prefer to still with iMovie, but I don't know if it's possible with the new version.

You can still use the previous version of iMovie. That's what I'm doing until Apple releases an update that adds back missing features and fixes some of the problems people seem to be having. The old iMovie can be found here:

IDVD 08 insist to transform NTSC 720 x 480 files in 640 x 480!!!

iDVD 08 insist to burn NTSC 720 x 480 files in 640 x 480
And of course smaller with a black box…
I've tried everything in vain.
It's the same If I select widescreen or 4/3 menus…
My files are mp4 H.264 files.
I'm quite desperate since I don't get WHY iDVD wants that DVDs look like 50 years old TV shows !
I looked at the forum and couldn't find any info relative to this problem.
I wonder if it's the fact that these files are Progressive. But I thought iDVD took care of it…

A TV uses rectangular pixels: 720x480.
A computer uses square pixels. So, those same pixels (720x480) are actually 640x480 and a computer. So this is normal.
The quality of your DVDs would be a separate and subjective issue. However, I can suggest that you NOT use H.264 (very compressed format) as the format for iDVD (which does it's own compression) to work with. I would give iDVD a DV or AIC file.

720 x 480 vs. 640 x 480, which one to use?

This is not a iMovie specific question, but it is related. I always thought that SD was 640 x 480 and I always format any stills I use for that format. Everything has been fine. 640 x 480 = 4:3. Recently somebody said that you should format for 720 x 480, even for SD. I'm a little confused, SD is 4:3 while 720 x 480 is 3:2. If you use this format will the edges get cut off on a SD TV, or will the image get squished?
Thanks
Chris

where the 720 x 480 came from
For historical resons there is some "extra room" around the video frame. This is the root of all kinds of errors when people calculate aspect ratios:
Standard definition NTSC DV's sampling matrix is 720x480 (that includes the "extra room" around the image although often there is content in all pixels). DV uses rectangular pixels -- the pixel aspect ratio is 4320:4739 = ~0.912. So the pixels aren't square and you have to scale the image to see the correct proportions. iMovie and a TV set do this automatically but sometimes the poor user might see an unscaled image and think something is seriously wrong...
Notice that inside (and outside!) of that 720x480 sampling matrix the actual active picture size is 710.85 x 486. Weird but true.
Now, to see the correct proportions you have to scale rectangular pixels to square pixels. You usually do that by multiplying the horizontal pixel count by the pixel aspect ratio:
So the square pixel horizontal sampling matrix becomes 720 x (4320:4739) = ~656. So you should scale 720x480 to 656x480 to see the correct proportions on a computer monitor.
The same calculation applies also to the actual active picture size: 710.85 x (4320:4739) = 648. So the square pixel actual active picture size is 648x486 which is EXACTLY 4:3!! THAT is the 4:3 ratio we talk about -- not the 640x480 which is just a cropped value of the former weird size.
The same principles apply also to 16:9 ratios.

6220c pseudo 640 x 480 video

pseudo in terms of true resolution, I would love to read comments from users about the 6220c 640 x 480 video resolution, my feeling is this was misrepresented in advertising it is so obviously not a true 640 x 480 I mean you can create a 640 x 480 frame size from 176 x 144 if you really want to, in the case of 6220c it seems to me this is a 320 x 240 video interpolated by some proprietary manner to 640 x 480 frame size and passed off as such for what purpose that serves I have no idea- I would like to get the observations of others who have used it what do you think

I assume you are using the main camera (5 MP) to take the video.
I don't know what to say. Surely the sensor is more than capable of recording video at 640 x 480. And since the videos you are taking are 640x480 my guess is that the problem is the video image quality.
Maybe someone else that has this model can comment.
640K Should be enough for everybody

640 by 480 video fitting into tv safe area

How do you get 640 by 480 video to fit in tv safe area?
There's documentation on scaling slides to the tv safe area; there's documentation on scaling the menu to the tv safe area. Uh, what about fitting the VIDEO to the tv safe area?
I'm doing a project in imovie with 640 by 480 mpeg 4 clips.

If you absolutely must ensure that everything in your video is visible on a TV, then you'd have to put a border around the video so the TV overscanning just hides the border. For most viewers, however, they won't notice the lost edge of the video because the action is happening in the TV safe area.
I don't know an easy way to put a border around your video in iMovie (perhaps one of the picture in picture plugins??), but I'd try the standard process and see if the results are reasonable. Note that adding the border will necessarily make your video smaller.
If anyone has shown an iMovie on an LCD TV, could you comment whether the CRT-TV overscanning is eliminated?

MulitScan 15 not doing 640 X 480 anymore

My Apple Multiple Scan 15 monitor is having trouble with 640 X 480 resolution. Left and right sides curve inwards and the menu bar is way past the top of the screen. This just happened the last time I turned it on, no obvious damage or settings changes. 800 X 600 works as does 832 X 764. Is this a sign of impending monitor failure? It is currently being used with a Performa 6300CD, and I use the lower resolution for watching TV.

A further curious fact to add to the mystery; the resolution 640 X 480 @ 67Hz is the one that I am having the problem with, but when I chose “all” instead of “Recommended” resolutions from the OS 8.1 Monitors & Sound control panel, a resolution of 640 X 480 appeared with no refresh rate given, and that one works fine!?! And of course I erred when I said that there is a resolution of 832 X 764, it is actually 832 X 624 @ 75Hz.
I basically got this Monitor for free louie, I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew of a quick, inexpensive fix, or if I should start the search for another MultiSync monitor.
Apropos of nothing, I do have another monitor waiting in the wings, a beautiful Apple 16” Color Display with a Trinitron screen, but unfortunately it only has one resolution; 832 X 624, which is a setting that the standard digitizer of the Apple Video Player won’t work with. Hence my need for a working MultiSync monitor.

Why does the iMovie update now make it impossible to save in 640 by 480 ?

Just this week Imovie now wants to save / export my files in unusual formats instead of 640 by 480 - which is what I need to upload a longer video to Vimeo ( not Vimeo pro ) - Why has this been changed ?
( I do know that direct upload to Vimeo is possible - but sometimes I want to replace files - and that cannot be done directly )
Will this be addressed in an urgent update ?

any other sugestions ?
That's too bad. You don't have a Time Machine or some other backup tucked away somewhere?
The new version of iMovie is a pretty complete re-write so a bit of three steps forward, two steps back in terms of features. Some may get added back with time but it's impossible to say when and if that may happen.
The easiest way to get back to what you were doing to find your self a copy of iMovie version 9. You can buy it on DVD from sites like Amazon.
Depending on what exactly you are doing you could see if QuickTime Pro 7 will do what you need.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/
There's als Final Cut Pro 10, but that's a $300.
What kind of files are you trying to produce?

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

640 x 480 resolution problem [solved]

I testing Arch. I've got it installed as a vbox guest. I plan (if things go well) to eventually turn it into a live CD, as I can't find one out there now that fully meets my needs.
So far, things have gone pretty smooth, but now I've hit a wall. I got lxde installed (live CD, so keep it light and lean) and it works. The problem is the resolution is stuck at 640 x 480. I can't increase it. xrandr says my max is 640 x 480, which I know isn't true. Obviously installing specific drivers isn't an option as I plan on doing the live CD. Quite a bit of searching turned up several solved, but most of those were physical hardware issues in the end (Puppy does 1600x1050 as a guest, so it's not hardware or vbox) and "it just fixed itself" isn't an answer for me. What am I doing wrong?

Vesa drivers are normally used as a fallback as it is very generic. Use the free or proprietary drivers for your intel/ati/nvidia instead.
Here is a quote from the beginner's guide:
"The vesa driver is a generic mode-setting driver that will work with almost every GPU, but will not provide any 2D or 3D acceleration. If a better driver cannot be found or fails to load, Xorg will fall back to vesa. To install it:"

Xserve screen resolution stuck at 640 x 480

I'm troubleshooting a Xserve for a friend's company. After a restart a few days ago, their Xserve will only display at 640 x 480. They have it connected to a standard VGA monitor, which did display higher resolutions before. I know some of the basic troubleshooting methods like reseting the PRAM and trashing the display prefs, but I'd like to try fixing it without rebooting the server or knocking people off. Any ideas on how to correct this issue without rebooting?

Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Did you check your cable and connections? I am not positive but it seems to me that the video card may have to sense the ability of the monitor to display the proper resolution.
Have you tried connecting the monitor to another device to make sure it is not the monitor?

Screen stuck on 640 x 480 resolution

I have a B & W g3 and about two months ago my screen resolution changed from 1280 x 960 to 640 x 480 making it preety difficult to do some simple tasks such as surfing the internet. If anyone has any clue as to how to solve this problem please help!!!

What kind of video connector is on your graphics board and monitor? Can you describe it? Does it have three rows of pins or two? I am trying to remember, but I believe a B&W G3 may date back to Apple's old monitor detection scheme of using jumpers and diodes across certain pins on the video connector. If a monitor wasn't read correctly or no monitor detected, it reverted to 640 x 480 at 67Hz, which is a legacy Apple timing associated with their very first Mac color monitor, a 14" that shipped with the Mac II. I think that is what is happening here. For some reason the graphics card isn't recognizing the display. The problem could be on either end. It's hard to say. Is there any way for you to get your hands on a second monitor to try? That would help determine where the problem lies.

Is there a solution for videos being lost?

I use Keynote 09 to make presentations for my Terrorism and homeland security class at college, and my buddy uses a pc with powerpoint. when I send him a build as a ppt export, he gets it fine, except the videos. Same thing when he re-adds the video at his end, and I import it into keynote. videos are gone. I cannot do the export to quicktime, since the college uses windows format, and they do not have Macs there. is there a way to export the videos inside the keynote in a format that windows will recognize? my buddy and I are about to go crazy here.

the problem lies with the college not using quicktime on their computers. In other words, I have to use a format that will play natively in powerpoint for windows. My friend, Ron, has quicktime installed, but the videos still will not play. I have contacted apple customer support, and he gave me some ideas as to why this is occurring. If I am not mistaken, mpeg-4 should play nicely with keynote and powerpoint, but this doesn't seem to be working. The program seems to be "forgetting" where it stuck the video files, and ends up sending a link to the videos to the last drive they were on. In other words, when I send the file to him, the video files in the presentation are linked inside the keynote-to-powerpoint file to MY drive, and not sent to him. For example, Instead of a file that should be, say, 30mb, it ends up being less than 5mb. So, when he opens up the powerpoint on his end, all the slides are there, content included, except video, which is now just a link to where the files "lived" on my drive, which, naturally, his powerpoint does not have access to.
The weird thing is this, If he sends it to me, Keynote opens up everything but the videos, which Keynote tells me are just links to where they "lived" on his drive. On a side note, I have Office for Mac 2004 installed, and it, too, fails to open the powerpoint. I downloaded the patch that enables it to open the powerpoint, but alas, the videos will not open in Powerpoint for Mac 2004 either. I cannot tell him how to embed the videos on powerpoint, but I can say that I have all appropriate boxes checked in the SAVE AS....powerpoint dropdown in Keynote. I may have to make a permanent place on my drive to put the videos, then export the presentation as a zip file with videos included. I don't know, this is just guessing on my part. Anything to prevent Keynote from "forgetting" where the videos are supposed to be, and that it should include them in the slide......
If you have read this far, and understand my generalizations, does this make sense to you? Is there some kind of solution to this? I am sure I am not the only Keynote user with the issue of lost videos upon export into Powerpoint, and everyone could benefit by a solution or workaround.
Thank you.

640 x 480 is only display option I have

I was running OS 9 on my G4 and I just did a clean and install of OS 10. It works great except that everything is way to big on the screen. I tried to change the display settings, but the only option it gives me is 640 x 480. I guess this monitor is too dated for the newer operating system. Anybody know how I can fix this?

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forum!
Honest, we'd like to help but you didn't give us very much information.
To find out what kind of G4 you have, look here, then let us know:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Tell us what monitor you use, too. Some older monitors are a fixed display. I will guess that is the problem you are having.
MultiScan monitors give several display preferences that your Video card in the Mac can choose from. Most newer CRT's and flat screen LCD's are this configuration.

Dave

How do I Ensure that your MOV/MP4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion?

I have a YouTube channel. I use Sony Vegas to render my mp4 projects, but my PC uses QuickTime & I'm VERY unfamiliar with it and/or how it works, how to access it. When I record a mp4 video, QuickTime needs to be involved, but I'm unsure how to even check or know where to go, to find out how to do that. I need ensure my mp4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion. I have no idea what it even means? Does anyone out there happen to have the knowledge I would need to check if in fact the video is being exported through QuickTime conversion? If so, I WOULD FOREVER BE IN DEBT TO YOU! I hope someone can help me figure this problem out. Thanks for taking the time to view my question, and if anyone does know, I'd greatly accept your advice! Thank you very much again!

Hello,
You can do this: Set up a slow pulse train for CTR0 (1Hz). Set up a continuous digital channel read for Port 0 Line 0 on your card. Hook up CTR0 output (pin 5) to P0.0 (pin 10). Start your program to do the counter output pulse train and continuous read. You should see your digital line transition from high to low over time. The examples you can use to set this up are Gen Dig Pulse Train-Continuous.vi and Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi. For Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi, remove the DAQmx Timing VI to make it software timed, and connect the task handle and error wires accordingly. They can be ran from separate VI's as they don't use the same resources.
To be exact on the verbage used, you can perform a self-test on the device by right clicking the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Self-Test. As for testing the device manually, go with what I described above.
