Adding horizontal pixels on video

Hi ..
i got 60-70 clips with diferent aspect ratio..
the point is for example, if video is 960x720
i want to add extra pixel below video so aspect ratio will be lets say 960x750, but this 30px will be black and below video
I need most easy way to do this ..
you have to have in mind that all clips have different ratio .. so it is not option to
define ratio ..
I'm using "New item" to define aspect ratio of clip/creating sequence..
i know for example to see ratio and
define creating sequence on begining .. then insert clip and move X,y .. but I'm trying to avoid that.... to much work
so any suggestions

Hi, quick update on this. I took it back to Apple store. They replaced the graphics card & that seems to have sorted the problem. Incidently, i bought Mac because i was told the hardware was reliable. Ha, i've had it back to the store twice in a year. I got grey smudges on the screen (overheating behind the LCD), i had to have the LCD replaced twice. Then when it went into sleep mode, i got no response & had to reboot. Previously I have always had Windows based Sony Viao's. In all those yrs, i have never had hardware problem with them. Twice the money & twoce the problems with Apple. When it works, they are great, but these hardware problems have me wondering if i made the correct choice.
Hope this helps (Apologies for the rant)

Added music track to video..entire screen is green and I cannot delete music track

I added music track to video, inadvertently dropped outside of clip now entire area outside of track is green and I can't remove or delete music.

i literally deleted the entire "Purchases" folder and restarted the phone. it recreated the folder (except without all our problem files) as soon as it powered back on.
no idea what downloads refers to - i tried this process with that folder and it didn't change anything or solve the prob.
as for the syncing of the playlist - i still don't think that would solve it. it seems like there is a discrepancy being created whenever a song is downloaded from the store, period. and as for deleting the stream files - no. I switched over to manual manage, deleted the files manually, but they simply recreated themselves as soon as i did another sync.
It was indeed the purchases folder that needed reconciling.
as a fun side note - i used phoneview to make a PDF of all my 60,000 texts from the previous 3 years, and then deleted them from my phone - saving myself like 10 gigs
realizing now this could all seem like i'm some rep for the phoneview app. i swear i'm not hahahaha

***Editing video: Help adding text to my video! Gamut-like problem***

Hi, I'm using the Photoshop CS6 free trial and I'm having trouble adding text to my video. I select the Text tool on the left side of the screen and when I expand the box to add text, it automatically changes my video to a gamut-like screen. I can still add text but the screen doesn't change back to my video. I don't know what I can do to fix this problem. I already tried turning off the gamut warning but it doesn't fix the problem.
Thank you!!

You need to create a separate video track for the text overlay. You are simply trying to type in soem existing stuff and it invalidates your existing video.

Horizontal lines in video playback from timeline

I haven't had this problem before this year. I get a quick 1-2 second squiggly line horizontally through the video even on still image segments several times while playing video from the timeline. It's not always there and I could play through it two times and see it and the third time it may not be there. I also exported a clip from a still photo sequence.. the clip played fine.
I do not see any lines in the quicktime files when played in Quick time.
I use a older mac.... G4.. 733... I've been afraid to update system software and FCP because it's been doing fine until this problem.
Thanks for any help/suggestions anyone can offer!
G4 733 Mac OS X (10.2.x) 1gig RAM, 4 HD's

Your footage is interlaced, and you exported to an interlaced format. For computer viewing or upload to a web video service like YouTube, you want to deinterlace your footage; in AME, this is done automatically when you export with Field Order set to Progressive (None).
And get rid of K-Lite. Quickly.

Accordion with horizontal pixel shift

Aside from irregularities with IE yet to be solved, the
accordion I've created for a page appears exactly as desired
locally, but on the remote server there is a horizontal pixel shift
to the left for the entire accordion list. This shift is
accompanied by fine lines at the left and bottom borders.

My video has some weird kind of horizontal pixel misalignment. Whats going on?

I think the picture will explain everything:
I zoomed in on a segment of the video. When I'm zoomed out a bit in after effects, you don't see it. I have the composition linked to a premiere pro project, and when I rendered the video out there, you can clearly see this tearing in the final render when its being played. The video was recorded on a Sony HD camera.
The raw video that I recorded was a .mts. I applied a warp stabilizer in Premiere Pro to the video and exported it as a .mpeg. The .mpeg is what I have in my After Effects composition. When playing the .mpeg with windows media player, there is no tearing. I tried rendering out the composition as a lossless .avi and there is still tearing. So...must be some kind of problem with the composition settings?

You should not be using mpeg files in production unless they are camera originals. You could have introduced all kinds of artifacts and interlacing errors. Frame rates could be off. Without knowing your export settings or your comp settings we can only guess what's wrong.
For intermediate renders pick a production codec and stay away from MPEG of any kind in production. As Todd said, check you original footage, make sure interpretation is correct, and then render the stabilized footage to any production codec like Jpeg2000 QuickTime or even an image sequence. Also, make sure that you are using the right frame size for you render. I have no idea what the comp settings are so I can't help answer the question about composition settings.

Lagging pixels on video while editing and after render-export. -How do I fix this? the original media is Crystal clear.

Hello guys,
I am trying to edit some gameplay footage I captured using "AverMedia Game Capture HD", but whenever I import the media (at 1080i),
There are pixels that hang on the video player, mostly when the camera is turning left to right,
and on occasion, some random color blurs that bloom out of nowhere.
I attached a image so you can see what it looks like:
Here is what the video looks like after it is rendered and exported.
Along with the visual pixels, it also displays horizontal lines. (possibly due to my export settings, I was in a hurry just to test it)
Both the capture device and final cut pro x are upgraded to the latest firmware/updates.
I am using HD AC Component cables (blue green red) both for in and out connections between ps3 - cap device - tv.
The capture device automatically records files to mpeg-4.
The resolution of the tv, and recorded footage is in 1080i (1920 × 1080) and the quality looks great when I play it through quick time or any other media players:
Any tips or info? I have been using Final Cut pro x since it was released. I am not a professional but I have used it for some very important jobs thorugout the year, but I am really stumped with this.
Overview:
-Media info
File Type: mpeg-4
Codec: H.264, AAC
Dimensions: 1080i (1920 × 1080)
Thankyou for the help!

Alright, lets get the good news out first:
Converting the file definitely fixed the pixel issues.
However, there where frequent "blips" of some frames that disturbed the video.
Also, the converter created a 5GB file that was originally around 300MB!!
It put a serious load on importing, rendering and transcode analysis, however the video played back smoothly, it would be perfect despite the large file size and frequent frame glitches.
This is all due to my lack of knowledge in video property conversion.
At this point, I feel that I am asking for too much, but I am really stumped...
I can try so many possibilities, but this would save me allot of time if I could get the help:
What converter settings should choose to have the optimal video file that,
plays back smoothly,
plays In HD,
is compatible with fcp,
and can still stay moderately low on file size?
Here is the current info on the RAW video file:
Here are the previous settings I used to convert:
(slight improvemnt, but extremely high file size, and still has some frame glitches)
What should I have (not?) done with these options?
(I admit I chose these settings and had no Idea what the heck I was doing)
Again, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
EDIT:
For reference, This is the new glitch issue I see:
Here is the normal frame,
Here is the next frame when a glitch apears.
It seems to be replying a previous frame in the video.
Also, the horozontal lines do not show during live playback, only when the play head is paused, or when scrubbing.

Dealing with non-square pixels from video capture (CS3)

Hi all,
This is the problem I have : I watch a video on my PC using any utility such as, for example, CyberLink's PowerDVD. I pause the movie to capture a frame to the Clipboard, then I paste it into PS CS3 via a newly created document.
Because the movie was shot and recorded on the DVD in widescreen format, therefore using non-square pixels (wider than they are tall), the still image in PS appears "shrunk" horizontally. I then go to Image|Pixel Aspect Ratio and set the ratio to, say, "D1/DV PAL Widescreen (1.42)", as I am in PAL-land. The still image now looks fine, and I can save it, for example in TIFF format ; it will retain its "non-square pixel" attribute, with the black bands on top and at the bottom.
However, what I utimately want to do is use that still image on the Web, so I need to save it as a JPEG image, and this is where the problem happens : the JPEG conversion reverts those pixels to square ones, whether I use the "Save for Web and Devices..." option, or just the "Save As..." one.
How can I turn my very heavy TIFF into a much leaner JPEG, while retaining the non-square pixels that give the image its correct proportions ? Is there a way around this problem ?
I'm not used to dealing with non-square pixel images, so any help and tip will be greatly appreciated. Many thaks in advance.
Dominic.

As Zeno said, you can simply copy&paste. Also, there is always an equivalent square pixel format for each anamorphic format that can fully accommodate the image, which would be 1024x576 for PAL widescreen. For more info on PAR conversions, I recomemnd you do some reading in the online help files for After Effects or Premiere Pro.

Resizing pixel art video without affecting the pixels with blur.

Hello everyone,
First I would like to mention that I did searched for an answer to my issue on the forum but only found a thread by Rowby Goren from Jan 4, 2010, who asked a similar pixel resize question regarding to still images in CS4. He was answered to use Photoshop for this kind of task. My issue on the other hand is for handling a video that can only be edited in Premiere. I'm using CS6. My issue is as follows:
I work a lot with pixel art animation in 320x240 resolution. Usually I'm making a 320x240 scene of background and characters and the final result should be a doubled sized. So each pixel is actually 2 times larger. Just like old adventure games from the good old days that most of us remember. It works great with old style games creation engines however when I want to make a video with my pixel art creation in Premiere, I couldn't achieve an exact and clean doubled pixel when resizing the source by 200%. It always gets blurry. Does anyone knows if Premiere has any switch off option for scalling blur?
I have created an image that describes the issue. It's just a simple pixel art image that I picked up on google search. I saved and uploaded it as PNG for best quality, I just hope it won't get compressed after the upload. Any assitance will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gal Shemesh

Thanks Jim, I am aware of the fact that it's a degraded image that doesn't have any antializing effect on it. And that's what I'm trying to achieve in Premiere, although it's currently impossible. Until now I'm doing exactly what you suggested, which is to double the size in Photoshop or other tool that doesn't affect any antializing on the image and then I import it into Premiere. However this also makes a problem when you want to move objects on the screen as the imported images which are doubled size, won't show well on the 1:1 pixel grid when you move them around the screen. So let's say each move on the X axis to the left or right (which represents a move by 1 pixel) should be moved twice in order to meet the doubled sized images pixel grid.
Take a look on the picture I created to see what I mean. I've duplicated the box image and I'm trying to position each box one next to another in a 3d space look. The left boxes is the original image of the 2 boxes, and the right image is the doubled sized image that was created outside of Premiere. Please note that I've the entire screenshot twice larger so you could see the difference. And please ignore the fact that there is no antializing on the right image as I made this simulation in Photoshop so the pixels will be clean to show the problem.
So, if you aware of how a pixel grid looks like, check the left image. The position of the boxes on each other is the way it should be as each pixel from each box keeps the relation of a 1:1 pixel grid. However on the right image I first doubled the original box image to prevent 'blurring' effect when scalling up in Premiere, put it on a 1:1 pixel canvas (where the image has 2:2 pixel grid by now) just like how it will be in Premiere, and tried to position the boxes one next to another. See that there's a confusion between the pixels on the 1:1 grid as they got merged one INTO another without saving the relation of a doubled pixel grid. Where if there was any option to work in doubled sized pixles in Premiere, it would have look like this:
So importing a doubled size images into Premiere like you suggested is way hard to keep tracking the moving objects in the scene, as you must remember to move them twice the times to each direction. Which means that if you want to move an object from one side of the screen to the other side, you'll have to do it frame by frame in a move of 2 pixels by frame, rather then positioning it in one place, make a keyframe, and then go to where the movement should end and place another keyframe.
Hope now my issue is clear.
All the best,
Gal Shemesh

Computer issue - green/purple pixels in videos before and after rendering and bios shutdown

I built a new desktop for editing video during the summer. In the past week or two I've encountered some serious issues.
Ex. A: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8476/8374160517_0bb791f218_c.jpg
While editing in Premiere or AE CS6 I've been getting these weird lines appear randomly. If I close the program and re-open it, it'll disappear, and sometimes reappear at another point in the timeline. Really strange. I also have active backgrounds enabled and green or purple patches of pixels will sometimes appear. If I tell windows to go to the next background, the pixels usually go back to normal.
BIOS blue screen shutdown
I could be watching vimeo or youtube or doing video editing and suddenly get a shut down error. It also happened while playing the CRYSIS demo, although I had a perfectly smooth experience until that happened.
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 home premium
MSI 7751 mobo
Intel i7-3770S 3.10GHz
16GB G.Skills Ripjaw RAM
NVIDIA 560 Ti 1GB
500w PSU corsair
WD 1TB caviar black HD
Asus xonar audio card
128 GB sandisk SSD
Do you guys think this is a graphics card or PSU issue? My computer is next to a metal cabinet, but has plenty of room for air ventilation. The graphics card and CPU temps have generally been between 30-40 degrees Celsius, and always under 50 C (even when rendering), so I doubt overheating is an issue. Checked with HWMonitor.

According to some notes I made http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/GPU.HTM the 560Ti draws 170 watts
Use the Power supply calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp (the PRO version has more options) to determine your power supply needs
Even if the calculator says you are "somewhere" under 500 watts, you MAY simply have a "weak" power supply

Horizontal lines across video in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

I had used a software called Virtualdub to deinterlace and remove lots of garbage from the edges of a video. I had also used a software called Neat Video inside of Virtualdub to remove a lot of grains from my vhs video. I prefer to use Adobe Premiere because it's superior to Virtualdub when it comes to color correction. That is my own opinion, however, I imported the video from Virtualdub into Adobe Premiere. I did some color corrections on my vhs video. The video looks a whole better than the original. I saved the video with the color correction and exported it as an avi file. I exported the same video into Pinnacle to burn on a dvd. I noticed that the video had a lot of fine horizontal lines going across it. I would like to know what am I doing wrong with all of these procedures. I'm a beginner trying to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. for video editing. I would like to use this software totally to edit my video instead of using Pinnacle software. I hope that my problem isn't too complicated. Thanks.
Gerald Sr.

You can do everything in Premiere: you do not need VD or Pinnacle.
First of all I would not deinterlace nor get rid of the edge gargage of the original footage in VD.
Depending on how the deinterlacing is being done, it still will bring down the quality off the footage.
If its for dvd on a standalone player just leave it interlaced.
Edge garbage is easily removed in Pro2 by scaling up the footage a tiny bit.
I would only use Neat Video in VD and export the footage to avi with the Lagarith codec which will give you a lossless file.

Or skip VD and get Neat Video as a plugin for Premiere
In Premiere you can create dvd's and besides it has a much better mpeg2 encoder then Studio has.

Having Trouble adding HREFTrack to new video

Hi! I am trying to add a HREFTrack to a quicktime movie and it is not working!
The file I am trying to add is formatted like this:
{QTtext}{font:Geneva}{plain}{size:12}{textColor: 65535, 65535, 65535}{backColor: 0, 0, 0}{justify:center}{timeScale:30}{width:160}{height:48}{timeStamps:absolute}{lan guage:0}{textEncoding:0}
[00:00:00.00]
A<http://google.com>
[00:00:04.15]
I have it listed as HREFTrack and not enabled in the properties window. I have even downloaded other videos with working HREFTracks and they do not work when I edit them. I do not want my HREFTrack to have a target-- I would like it to refresh the window I am currently in. I have tried to get this working in Firefox 2.0.017 and Safari 3.0.4, neither with any luck. The working videos I have downloaded were tried in the same browsers.
I have been creating my HREFTrack by pasting the text for the link into my movie at the point I want it to start, then exporting the text as text, re-opening it in QuickTime Pro to make necessary edits, and pasting it back into the correct location in the movie. Then I save the movie as a self-contained movie. The HREFTrack does not work in Quicktime standalone, or in either browser that I mentioned.
I am having a similar problem adding text links-- although the text links work fine in the QuickTime player standalone version, but not in either browser.
I am using TextEdit to edit the files, but I have also tried WordWrangler, with identical results.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

Come on, guys! Someone must know the answer to this!? Or at least where might be a better place to seek assistance? Anyone? Bueller?

Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

Does anyone else have pixelating poor video streaming on iPad 2?

Hi I was wondering if anyone else has poor pixelating video streaming on iPad 2? Anytime I try to watch a video with much movement like any type of sports, like baseball and basketball the quality is poor with a lot of pixelating and blurry video. This is on the web browsing or in any of the Internet apps. Does this happen to anyone else? Just got it yesterday and have heard some people say that the quality of the MLB videos is near hd like watching tv. I appreciate anyone's help on this. Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes, I would still say it's a slow down due to either a moderate to high volume of internet traffic on the Time/Warner servers (depending of course on the time of day or day of the week) plus, maybe since this is a sports (baseball) website, it could be a slow down because of amount of internet trafiic to that site and, possibly, more people viewingthe same streaming content as you.
Also, if you have other people sharing the WiFi signal in your house and using the internet (via Wifi) this could, also, be another factor in your data connection speeds and slowdowns.
That's usually the cause for either different levels of streaming pixelization or data buffering issues.
No doubt about it!
Hopefully your streaming experience will be better in the near future.
If you use other video streaming services, (like Netflix, Hulu/Hulu Plus, Amazon, Crackle, etc.) try viewing streaming content from those sites to see if your video streaming quality improves
Good Luck and Have fun with your iPad!
