Anamorphic footage distorted after multiclip cut

This question has been posted a few times but no answers yet.
I'm editing a multiclip of 2 cameras, both anamorphic footage. I put the multiclip in an anamorphic sequence. At first everything is fine.
BUT once I make a cut to my 2nd camera, that 2nd cam's "distort" attribute changes from 0 to 33.33 EVERY TIME. No biggie, I can remove that attribute but it's getting annoying! It's only the 2nd cam ... if I cut back to the first cam, it remains undistorted.
The "anamorphic" column in Item Properties is check for both cams & multiclip ... even the distorted cam. So any other ideas???

I JUST had this issue happen to me. Unfortunately my eSATA expresscard prematurely ejected causing my scratch drive to go offline. Upon reconnecting the media, it told me that some files out points were off and needed to be adjusted, or something like that. My multiclip continued through the end, but I immediately noticed that my previously 16:9 footage was now 4:3 within a 16:9 frame. After checking to make sure they were Checked anamorphic, I opened the files in the Finder, which were still anamorphic. The solution was what was listed above, Remove Attributes->Distort. Somehow a distort was added to my clips. Selecting all and removing cleared a hassle that could've taken infinitely longer to fix but also just to diagnose. This isn't as much an answer to your problem but as help for anyone else having this problem with multiclips and not being anamorphic.

  • Exporting Anamorphic PAL footage to After Effects.

    Hi,
    I am exporting my PAL footage to After Effects as DV-PAL Anamorphic. I have tried various compostion settings on After Effects including DV Widescreen but it still imports back into FCP at a different aspect ratio.
    Does anyone know what settings I should use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon.

    Hi,
    Ok I just took a piece of footage out of FCP into AFX comp settings PAL DV/D1 Widescreen 720x576 Aspect ratio 1.42.
    I out put from AFX using DV Settings for the render settings and Quicktime DV PAL 48KHz for the output module.
    I brought the AFX clip back into FCP on top of the original and did a 50% vertical crop on the clip in the Upper channel they match perfectly!
    Not sure if I've done anything different to you but it works for me . . I suppose there is a possibility if you are using any 3rd party filters on the footage it might munge it in someway, if so using the method I used to check conformity you might be able to nudge the clip back to perfect aspect ratio.

  • How to un-squeeze anamorphic footage after sound is synced?

    Hello,
    I imported some anamorphic footage, then synced all the sound, and am now trying to fix the aspect ratio/un-squeeze it. But the "interpret footage" option is greyed out.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    strange, not sure why you cannot access interpret footage...  does this happen in other projects? is it only happening with certain footage? if so what format?  latest version of premiere etc?
    a work around may be to nest your sequence, and then adjust the scale in effects>motion>uncheck uniform scale.  then adjust hight and width to fill frame or close to desired result. you could import and overlay a picture at proper ratio to compare if needed.

  • Perfect audio in FCPX timeline, distorted after export to QuickTime mov

    Anyone experiencing distorted audio with a QuickTime movie file exported from Final Cut Pro X? The audio sounds great in the timeline, but muffled and distorted after exporting it. Here's the kicker, I took that same file and opened it using QuickTime 7 and the audio is fine. I took that same file and converted it to a WMV file using Flip Player, and the audio is fine. So it would seem that the problem is the newest version of QuickTime (v10.4). If any of you have come to a similar conclusion, is there a way to remedy this? It's problematic because when I upload the file to YouTube, the distortion is present. Thanks in advance to everyone who can assist with this.
    MY SYSTEM:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
    FCPX v10.1.4
    QuickTime v10.4

    Hi Al,
    Here are the steps I use to export:
    From the File menu, I select 'Share' and select 'Master File'
    In the pop-up dialog box I click on 'Settings' and select 'H264' as the CODEC
    I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player and the audio is distorted.
    I open the rendered file with QuickTime Player 7 and the audio is fine
    I convert the exported file to a WMV file using Pro version of Flip Player. The audio in the resulting file is fine.
    I'm no expert but this would on the outset appear to be a problem with QuickTime v10.4.  I can't seem to find a way to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance.
    FYI - the audio file for the project is pulled in to FCPX as an mp3 directly from the iTunes library via the 'Music and Sound' browser.

  • Editing with Standard Footage (DV) with Final Cut Pro X

    It is possible to edit with Standard Footage (DV) with Final Cut Pro X? How? Thanks for your kind responses

    The usual way is to make a new project and have the settings based on the video. You make the project, put a DV file in it, and the project properties will be set. If you don't have a DV file to use, you make a new project, use custom settings and select the format you want NTSC or PAL, anamorphic or 4:3.

  • Stuttered footage in After Effects

    Who can help me?
    When I rendered footage in After effects (6.5) it's a little bit stuttering.
    It looks like shooting on progressive scan. The settings are on upper field. It's 16:9 PAL and came out of media 100 editing system.
    The only thing we did in AFX is color correction.
    Does anyone know this problem?
    greeting Jacco

    Agree, you probably get very few AE users here. Luckily I am one of them, hee hee.
    Try these 2 methods, combine or seperately:
    1.Highlight the video layer, then go Main Menu Bar > Effect > Blur and Sharpen > Reduce Interlace Flicker, set the softness value to 1
    and/or
    2.In your main project window bin, highlight the video clip, and under File > Interpret Footage, toggle between choosing Upper Field first, Lower Filed first or None (or Frame)
    You have to see each render result to get the best result.
    I am suspecting either you have scale the footage, and/or slow down or speed up the footage, that may cause the stuttering. Filming or source of the footage, its orginal compression type, i.e. the codec, may also cause such "effect"
    Cheers

  • Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

    My sound distorts after i install virtual sound, it is driving me mad. I downloaded all the toshiba drivers.

    Hello
    Usually the sound should be much better using this tool. I can really not explain why this happen. Try to reinstall sound driver.
    The unit is delivered with WXP Home and I assume that you try to install your own OS, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work properly with WXP professional too. Please check the installation instructions that can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All this stuff must be installed in particular order.
    Bye

  • Screen distortion after upgrading to mavericks os

    I own a late 2011 MBP 13". Last week I upgraded to Mavericks and regret it ever since. Firstly, it's become unbelievably slow. Secondly, and most importantly my screen resolution is now distorted and completely messed up. Immediately I suspected if Mavericks had screwed some setting. So I looked up Google for screen distortion after upgrading to Mavericks. The results were surprising! There are many apple discussions going on about the same thing. After reading most of them, as suggested in almost all threads, I took my laptop to the service station. The initial response given to me was that they suspected a hardware issue. All threads had indicated what to expect so I was not surprised. I explained to them clearly that there are discussions revolving around this topic and many users have been affected because of this. I even showed / shared the links of the various discussions on this topic. The service station in India asked for more time to investigate further. In the mean time I contacted the Indian call centre to report this problem. The service station reverted after their investigation that my logic board was corrupted and needed replacement. Phew!!! The cost of replacement is as good as buying a new MBP. It's really amusing because my MBP is less that 2 years old and unfortunately I do not have extended warranty.
    Has anyone facing the same issue been able to convince apple that this is a mavericks issue? Does even apple recognize this as an issue in the first place? Does apple expect people to blindly invest in hardware just because they have released a new OS?
    These and many more questions....
    Expecting answers!!!
    Not a good start to 2014

    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery

  • Bringing Premiere ultra keyed footage into after effects with key intact

    It there a way to bring in footage I keyed using Premiere ultra into After effects? I much prefer the ultra keyer over anything native to After Effects CS5.5. If not, how do I export and keep intact the aplha channels from the keyed footage into after effects? Thirdly, if I have to, how do I remiove the black background I get as a result of a default quick time movie file?

    You can not export a clip with alpha from PPRO.
    Easiest way is just doing the key in Keylight - AEFX ( which is far more powerful and flexible than Ultra Key . As good as it is, it has its limits)

  • How do I sync to 5D footage in an already cut sequence?

    Hello, I know we messed up from the beginning but I have a question non the less.
    We shot a short on a 5D with audio recorded to a separate device. We didn't have time to sync all the sound at the beginning of the project are were promised a program called Pluraleyes could do it all at the end once the project had been cut. This didn't seem to work.
    Does anyone know of any way/trick to sync the sound to the 5D footage in an already cut sequence.
    Thank you.

    Saved time...I guess.  Always ALWAYS sync your audio before you edit.  ALWAYS.  Unless you like spending money fixing it.  This will fix it, for $500.

  • Some Ringtones Distorted After Upgrading to IOS 5

    Has anyone else noticed that some of the ringtones sound distorted after upgrading to IOS 5?  For example, Sherwood Forest is one of those ringtones.  Please let me know if you have experience the same and what workaround, if any, has worked for you?

    Not sure if this will help... I had problems playing almost everything and it behaved very erratically... Here was the solution that worked for me:
    Altered from original solution from Emily P:
    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Sync
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • ITunes stops after each cut

    The cuts are numbered. Options has "Part of a gapless album." But it stops after each cut and I must manually continue. This on a recent addition to Itunes, and did not previously behave this way.

    Check to see if the little boxes to the left of the song titles have become unchecked. If they are not checked, you will see the kind of behavior you're seeing. Command-click in one of the boxes to check them all.
    Best of luck.

  • Anamorphic Footage on DVD...Final Cut Express 2.0.3 & iDVD 4.0.1

    Hello again everyone,
    My latest project involves 5 short QuickTime Movies edited together in one sequence in Final Cut Express 2.0.3. I am trying to now burn that sequence to DVD but I am having some "issues"...
    Three of these QuickTIme Movies are DV PAL Anamorphic and the other two are DV PAL (not anamorphic) and all five have been edited into a DV PAL Anamorphic Sequence in Final Cut Express 2.0.3. This works great when viewed in the canvas.
    What I have been trying to do next is export the whole sequence using File/Export/QuickTime Movie so I end up with one whole exported QuickTime Movie, containing the five other QuickTime Movies, that I can then import into iDVD 4.0.1.
    The export works fine and I can import the new QuickTime Movie into a PAL iDVD 4.0.1 project but the footage looks 4:3 and not anamorphic.
    When exported the QuickTime Movie does not seem to have preserved the pixel aspect ratio of my sequence (anamorphic)...
    Can anyone please offer some advice here? What is the best way to export Anamorphic PAL sequences out of Final Cut Express 2.0.3 as QuickTime Movies that can then be imported into iDVD 4.0.1 (or DVD Studio Pro and other apps) with the correct pixel aspect ratio (Anamorphic PAL)?
    Is this something that iDVD can't handle and needs to be done in DVD Studio Pro or do I need to change my export settings in Final Cut Express 2.0.3......or do I need to export it from Final Cut Pro instead?
    Regards,
    Justin Pamenter

    I think iDVD 5 is the first version of iDVD to support anamophic. Sounds like you did the right stuff in FCE. You had the Easy Setup on anamorphic when you captured and when you created the anamorphic sequence.
    Take a look at the iDVD forum or Google "iDVD Anamorphic".
