Anamorphic pal looks too wide - maybe...

hi,
(fcp 6.0.6)
I think my eyes are going buggy...!! I'm working with anamorphic footage and all the sequence settings are correct, but the image in the Canvas looks stretched horizontally! And more odd, when I change the pixel ratio to square it squeezes it just a little horizontally and it looks correct!
I thought anamorphic sequence was supposed to have pixel aspect of CCIR601 with "Anamorphic" checked
I suspect the dv footage was really shot as 4:3. (or i imported incorrectly...?)
When I export via compressor using dvpal anamorphic, it has the same horizontally stretched look.
Does anyone know what could be happening?
details...
- I imported video from a panasonic dv camera that I was told what shot with the "widescreen" option selected.
- I selected "DV PAL Anamorphic" for the capture preset (I'm in Aus, so PAL)
- the imported clips settings are: 720x576 - DVPAL - PAL-CCIR601 - YES Anamorphic
- The seq settings show:
Frame Size: 720x576 CCIR 601/DVPAL (5:4)
Pixel aspect: PAL-CCIR 601(720X576) Anamorphic 16:9 IS checked
(compressor is DV-PAL)
Thank you in advance for any help!

Thanks Jim - So I have to get that camera and investigate it.
If it isn't anamorphic, and I captured it as anamorphic, do I then have to re-capture, or can I just make sequence setting changes?
The only way the image looks correct is with square pixels and anamorphic IS checked.
ps - I figured out that the black pillars on either side were caused by ... open the clip in viewer > motion tab > distort > aspect ratio was 6.67 - and now i notice that almost all my sequences are like that but i haven't a clue how I did that!

Monaco Font Looks Too Wide To Display on Konsole

I use Monaco as the default font of konsole. The bold format of Monaco font looks too wide to display a complete letter.
As shown in the picture, the last character of the file name disappears.
I also disselect the Draw intense colors in bold font checkbox in the konsole profile. It does not work. How could I fix that problem?

Anamorphic PAL DV to H.264 (Pal 16:9)

Hi all,
First I'll confess to being a noob to video editiing etc. and have the following issue:
*The Setup:*
Recording = MacPro (OS 10.6.3), capturing into Final Cut Pro via a ADVC300 Firewire unit. This Set to capture DV PAL 48k Anamorphic.
Playback = Mac Mini connected to Sony EX503 via DVI>HDMI converter. (Sound out put through optical).
*The Process:*
Basically new to Final Cut & Compressor so appologize for ignorance.
Basic premise is this I initial record programs on our SKY HD box. The ones we want to keep I capture on the MacPro via the ADVC300. Edit out all the adverts etc in FCP. Then Export out the edited DV stream (as DV video).
Then Drop the edited DV stream into compressor and compress with the following settings:
Name: Untitled QuickTime Movie 1
Description: No description
File Extension: mov
Estimated size: unknown
Audio Encoder
IMA 4:1, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Video Encoder
Format: QT
Width: 720
Height: 576
Pixel aspect ratio: PAL CCIR 601 (16:9)
Crop: None
Padding: None
Frame rate: 25
Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 100
Min. Spatial quality: 25
Key frame interval: 25
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 25
I then copy onto the mac mini and play back on the TV via Front Row.
*The Problem:*
Recording is fine as is editing and outputing the edited DV stream to a QT file. However when I drag onto compressor and compress with the included settings to create my small play back file is were the problem lies. The final H.264 file plays fine in quicktime player (looking wide screen), both on the MacPro and Mini. However when played through Front Row the aspect ratio is a 4:3 (but slightly smaller in the frame) image instead of 16:9.
Now the original capture by FCP is a DV - PAL, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), which looks squashed.
After editing and saving from FCP the new edited stream is DV - PAL, 720 x 576 (1024 x 576), and displays 16:9 in quicktime.
However after compression the files is ; H.264, 720 x 576, Millions AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz and looks fine in quicktime play but not in Front Row. Incidentally the edited DV streams look fine in front row.
Any advice on what I need to do to make the final H.264 file a PAL 720x576 (16:9) which displays correctly through Front Row.
Thanks
Steve
By the way the only thing that has seemed to work is using apples 'apple tv' settings for SD anamorphic but this works on the NTSC 480 lines (which means loosing rez) or 'Apple TV' HD 720 (16:9) but this looks too pixelated.

I've also used Quicktime Pro, Export and it's still slow ...

HD NTSC to Anamorphic PAL question

I have compressed a 1280 x 720 HD NTSC sequence into an H264. Now I'm converting it to PAL through Compressor. And to try and maintain the 16.9 Ratio I'm trying the Settings : HD NTSC to Anamorphic PAL. But I don't know if it will come out "Squezed" and if in Europe they have TVs that "unsqueeze" the image? I don't know either how a 16.9 image looks in 4,3 in case I have to redo the conversion? Does anybody have any experience or knowledge in this, and could help me?
Thank you very much.

Thank you Nick, I hear you. Unfortunately I'm up against 2 obstacles: time and money. This is a (very) limited budget operation, and I can only send up to 2 Gb via YouSendit to several places in Europe, instead of a DVD via Fedex. But I will follow your advice of redoing the conversion to PAL at the source of 1280 x 720, and then compress the resultin PAL via H264 ( ProRes 422, which I tried, was too big) to end with a less that 2Gb file hopefully.

Navigation bar too wide for template graphic after creating new page

I want to stick within the templates, but I have a lot of pages and don't want them all in the nav bar. When I flagged a page to keep it out of the NAV bar, the NAV bar get messed up - not properly displaying at the edge of the template, like it made room for the hidden page's link then re-adjusted itself too wide for the background graphic. I've got the problem in the elegant template when displayed in IE on Windows (1024X768). Safari on my mac looks OK. Are there any other setting changes I can make to be better compatible?
Thanks

It appears to have been a cache issue or some such. I no longer see the problem

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

Chart legend too wide when using horizontal layout

I am using a flex chart with about 15 series on it. I've set
the legend direction variable to "horizontal". However since the
panel width which contains the chart is fixed, the legend sprawls
out to the right instead of going "wrapping around" nicely to stay
within the panel. As a result, you can't read the whole legend when
looking at the chart. The chart itself stays the proper width, but
the legend is too wide and can only be seen via using the scrollbar
to move horizontally. How can that be fixed?

Solerous, you must create a custom legend. Here's an example
that uses a grid to lay out the individual grid items. If you have
a variable number of series, then you can probably come up with
better logic for laying out the legend, but this should help get
you going.

Distorted video - too wide

I have posted about this on Crackberry.com. But maybe should bring it up here.
The main problem is that when viewing a video on my Z10, images are stretched left to right and so people are wider than normal and also objects like buildings, etc also are too wide. It is less noticeable in landscape screens. Upon a suggestion I received today, I opened the same video in the Z10's Browser and the video is NOT distorted. But I think that the app should work properly.
Here's some extracts from the thread:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-z10-f254/distorted-video-too-wide-849144/
I copied a homemade mp4 file to the z10 of one of my vacation trips (I create a dvd movie from the digital photos). The image is "widened" and frankly I don't need any help in the WIDENING area. It seems to show correctly on my PB and on my computer. But on the Z10 it is wide. Pinch does not HOLD - bounces right back to wide.
There does not seem to be a setting to alter this behavior or appearance. If not connected to the tv, the DISPLAY/hdmi setting is grayed out.
I just created a new video. Since the phone was going downstairs, I copied the mp4 video to the phone. Plugged it into my tv but, once again, the images are distorted - too wide. So the screen is spread left to right and people are too wide. The effect is less noticeable on Scenery but you can see it for buildings and such. And, it is not just on my TV but it is also evident on the Z10, itself. So, the z10 appears to not be displaying the image or video WIDTH correctly.
I then copied the same video to my Playbook (another BB device) and the video is fine and NOT DISTORTED.
I am still on the original Verizon bb10.1.xxxxxxxxxxxx OS.
Any idea if there is a setting on the phone that I am missing.
**bleep**! I had not thought about opening the video in the Browser. You are RIGHT - the video proportions are correct when opened in the Browser. So this is a definite bug in the Video app's software or settings. Of course, one should not have to go into the browser to view videos because the app is BROKEN.
I wonder if Kalemsoft or other video apps performs correctly?
When I first posted the thread, I did not know if it was my desktop software's coding or resolution or .... So I burned off the video in format after format to no avail. I am somewhat surprised that no one else has raised this issue. Maybe I will take it to the official bb forum.

Since I have installed the new update for my Z10 the pages are oversized and I am unable to get to many of the functions in different areas. How do I re-install the software?

Width of the Description field is too wide

Search the forum before posting a question.
In APEX 4.0, set the Column Width property of the text column. Column Width doesn't seem to have made it into the external documentation, but the online help says:
>
Specify the column width in pixel. The attribute is used when displaying reports in the browser. Note that setting the column width must be supported by the selected report template.
>
Therefore ensure that there is a <tt>#COLUMN_WIDTH#</tt> substitution string in your chosen report template, where the column template(s) should look something like:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="data" #COLUMN_WIDTH#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>In both APEX 4.0 and previous versions you can control column width using the Column Formatting CSS Style property, which allows you to use units other than pixels:
display: block; width: 10em;Edited by: fac586 on 03-Aug-2011 09:31
By "Description field" do you mean a report column or a text item? Is this "report" really a report or is it a tabular form?

Centering div makes design view too wide

<div style="width: 100%;">
<div style="width: 100px; margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;">
BODY CONTENT
</div>
</div>
Ok, I've been wrapping my body content in the div tags shown
above rather
than using a centred table as I did before. The problem I
have is that
design view is too wide and I have to use the horizontal
scroll bars when I
am using my laptop. It's not a big problem, but was wondering
if it was
necessary to have to live with this? Also, is there any
particular reason
the div appears yellow in design view?

Installed Photoshop Elements 13. Opened program. FYI, I work w/3 screens. Appears in center screen, too wide and cannot minimize it. Line across top reads eLive, Quick, Guided, Expert. Only eLive works. Gray screen on rest.

I have installed Elements 13. The screen stretches too wide on the screen and I can't see the edges at all to minimize or exit. Across the top I read eLive, Quick, Guided and Expert. Only eLive comes up with anything at all. If I click on the others, I just get a gray screen. I am running Windows 8.1 x64. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,

Published Folders Panel Issue in LR5.2 - Too Wide, Can't See Folder Arrows

I installed LR5.2 from the CC today on my Mac (10.8.4), and when I upgraded my LR4 catalog to LR5, all of my Published Folders were missing from underneath each corresponding Publish Services tab. None of the collections of photos are present. (Hard Drive, Facebook, Flickr, 500px)
However, each of the Published Services plug-ins are set correctly, and are shown to be up and running in the Publishing Manager. Also, when I try to create a new published folder underneath one of the tabs using the same name that I used in LR4, it says "That Name is Already In Use." So, LR5 knows that the folders exisit, they're just not there in the pane. Not only do I not see my old collections of published photos, I have no way adding new photos to those collections.
I tried deleting the LR5 preferences and starting over, opening up and upgrading my LR4 catalog in LR5 again, but still having the same problem. LR4 still runs fine and shows all of my published folders normally. They just don't show up in LR5.
It looks like it may just be an issue with the Publish Services pane. It's too wide to show the little black arrows at the right. (see photo below)
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?

At the risk of stating the obvious, did you try:
* Pulling the panel wider?
* Installing/enabling jf Folder Publisher (to get rid of the "(missing plug-in)" text (or delete the jf publish service altogether (disabling it in plugin manager won't do it)).
Note: if the panel won't go wide enough, you can widen it by adding lines like this to TranslatedStrings.txt in {lang} subfolder of 'Resources' - in with your Lr program files -
"$$$/locale_metric/Mac/Panel/maxWidth=900"
"$$$/locale_metric/Win/Panel/maxWidth=900"

Safari Tab size is too wide

I experienced Safari's Tab size is too wide, that it annoys me (and i believe other users too).
The behaviour as follow:
- When you first time open the browser, it is no tab and it looks normal.
- Then, when you open another tab, there are two tabs with size half of the windows size.... it is soo wide..
- Then, when you open another tab, the size of those three tabs split the wide of the windows... it is still too wide...
- and so on.
Please have a correction patch to this. Thanks.
Safari version used is Version 6.0.

Please send your feedback to Safari feedback.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This doe not accure usingg IE 8.0 with the same printer.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This problem also occurs with the web page on which this question is submitted. This doe not occur using IE 8.0 with the same printer.

These have nothing to do with Firefox.
C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect

This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/
My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''

Bookmark display too wide

Pardon any terminology that doesn't conform to Firefox terms. When I look at my bookmarks, the display is way too wide and thus difficult to work with.
I have lots of Bookmarks and some of them are from sites that have put a ridiculous amount of text into the "title" field of the HTML page which is what is saved in addition to the URL when you bookmark a page.
Firefox 4 differs from Firefox 3.x in having two obvious ways to display the list of your bookmarks.
http://homepage.mac.com/jimcarr/FF4-1.png shows a list generated from menu at right edge of icon bar and has a rational width.
http://homepage.mac.com/jimcarr/FF4-2.png shows list of same bookmarks as displayed with Bookmarks menu. There is a very wide item off the bottom of the list that has forced display way too wide.
Would be helpful if a reasonable width limit was imposed--either fixed to same as smaller display or adjustable in about:config.

Are you using code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] ?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files

Does that still happen with a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />
