Aspect ratio help for a newbie?

Hi Everyone,
I've got a Sony DCR SR-32 camera (please don't laugh ) and shooting in its HQ mode, (9Mb/s) and 16:9 aspect ratio.
I can import the footage into iMovie and make a movie with no problems. But I've just bought FCE and am struggling to get the footage imported at the correct 16:9 aspect ratio. After trawling the discussions I've tried the log and transfer method, and all the other relevant discussion on importing AVCHD files directly into FCE but no success (I get file opening error ?). So I'm bringing the footage into iMovie, exporting it from iMovie as an FCE XML file and opening that using PAL anamorphic or NTSC anamorphic Easy setups.
Even so, I've got what looks like 16:9 video squeezed into a 4:3 aspect ratio with black boarders on either side padding it out back to the 16:9 size.
I'd welcome any advice other than "get a new camera "

Hi Tom, I seem to have a similar problem, not sure if you've seen this, but I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it either. Using Imovie to recognize the files works fine, the problem is that when you export from imovie '08 into FCP via xml, it imports fine, but I also get the same display issue with the black bars surrounding the footage, only in the canvas. It appears fine in the viewer and in it's own sequence in the timeline. But when you mix the different camera footage together, the other being the Canon XH A1, it appears as a different aspect ratio??? What the?
ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Aspect Ratio Help

    I've tried to find this on my own, but to no avail. I am using a Canon XHA1 and shot footage in 16:9 HD format at 24fps. Imported it in using default Windows Video Import tool, then brought into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on Windows Vista.
    The footage looks distorted (4:3) no matter what project settings I use. I tried using the Intrepret Footage per Adobe help, and while that does seem to get rid of the 4:3 aspect ratio, the preview window then for some reason shows a much smaller widescreen preview surrounded by a lot of black box.
    I tried outputing a sample file, and sure enough, the final output shows a smaller version of the footage with more then normal black box surrounding it.
    Any help in understanding what I'm doing wrong, or how to import the video correctly into Premiere is much appreciated.

    Thanks Ann for the help. Forgive me as I'm a newbie and still had a few questions:
    1. Should I capture with Premiere and not Windows Import? If so, where do I specify HDV split? Not sure what that means.
    2. When and where do I choose the 1080i30 project setting? I downloaded the 24f Canon presets and those show up, but I wasn't sure what to choose initially when opening Premiere (either a Canon preset or the 1080i30).
    I'm fairly new at this so step by step is kind of what i need to figure this out.
    Thanks.

  • Wide screen aspect ratio help

    hi everyone im new in final cut pro, and i need some guidance, help or tutorial on how to achieve the widescreen aspect ratio to give the video more like a film look and feel, i need to know how to do this without distorting the video or cropping or making it look stretchy it if its possible. A tutorial would be awesome please if someone can help me, i would really appreciate this i looked around for this but i cant really find anything (i might have been looking in the wrong places :[ ) thanks

    im not sure this are the dimensions 1280 × 720 i think (im not too sure) it was wide screen. for example if i used my iphone for in landscape mode i think it comes out wide screen right? so then how would i do it not sure what really but is there any chance that without it having to be shoot wide screen make it wide screen without it looking bad ??

  • How to set aspect ratio options for Image Dialog

    I have a requiment to create a new Aspect Ratio for image crop, besides the only default option of Free Crop
    I understand that there was some path where you could set this up in CRX, prior to 5.5, but that path doesn't exist in 5.5. The path was /libs/cq/packaging/components/pack/definition/dialog/items/tabs/item s/tab3/cropConfig
    I found this out from this forum question:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575600#4575600
    Where in CQ5.5 Can I set these aspect ratios? I've queried the entire CRX for nodes of similar names as in this path, but cannot find it anywhere.
    Thanks guys!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem using CQ 5.6.1. I want to extend the default Ratios:
    I found out that this config is located under /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/crop/items/actionbarcontainer/items/default/items/aspectrati o/items.
    My question is were and how can I put an extension to these predefined ratios if I don't want to edit them under the libs node.
    Thanks, Andreas

  • Aspect ratio cropping for a Folio

    I understand that digital SLR cameras have an aspect ratio 2:3.
    Do ALL Photobooks 8.5x11 require 4:3 ?
    Thanks!

    Missed that - do not have a DSLR so have no idea of the ratio they shoot - but the answer is still the same
    The frames for all iPhoto photo books are 4:3 - you can right click on a photo (control click) and choose fit to frame or you can click on it and a slider appears above the photo frame that lets you adjust the size of the photo and a hand appears that you can select and move the photo within the frame
    You can use a non 4:3 photo but have to either fit to frame of enlarge (exxentially cropping) to fill

  • Aspect ratio control for VOD

    I love that the IMG provides an aspect-ratio control (as previous Motorola boxes on Comcast didn't seem to do).
    But, on mine at least, I can't use it when watching VOD.  Is this by design, or is it a bug?
    Because HBO is so overprotective about their VOD, I can only get their series in SD letterboxed, which produces a postage samp 4-black-sided picture on my screen.
    Message Edited by JoeyK on 03-28-2009 03:42 PM

    I don't know if it is by design or not, but it does not work for me either, although I generally never watch anything but HD VOD so it really doesn't matter to me. But I did try it on an SD Starz VOD and sure enough it didn't affect the picture. I don't have HBO so I cannot test that.

  • Menu aspect ratio considerations for widescreen DVD

    Hello all:
    I'm building a DVD with widescreen content. My intent was to build widescreen menus as well, as this would ease the use of my widescreen video for menu backgrounds (no need for panning) however I've noticed that when I create widescreen menus in Encore, they show up letterboxed on a 4:3 TV when my DVD player is set to letterbox widescreen content. At first, this seemed to make sense, however I've since observed that none of my commercial widescreen movies behave this way. Rather, they fill the screen entirely on both my 4:3 TV and my 16:9 TV, regardless of how the DVD player is set to deal with widescreen content. It's almost as if the disc provides different sets of menus for both cases, or that the menu contains directives to force the DVD player to do pan-and-scan in the 4:3 scenario even if the default behavior of the player is to letterbox.
    Am I making any sense?
    Basically: Is there any way to create widescreen menus and guarantee pan-and-scan on a 4:3 display, or else provide both 4:3 and 16:9 menus and have the player decide which to use? It seems the commercial DVDs must be doing one of these things...
    EDIT: Incidentally, one of the popular DVDs I tried was The Matrix: Reloaded.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    >Basically: Is there any way to create widescreen menus and guarantee pan-and-scan on a 4:3 display...
    Not using Encore, no. Encore 16:9 menus will be displayed letterboxed on a 4:3 monitor.
    It may be possible to hack it post-authoring, but I'm not sure. Take a look at the tools on videohelp.com. If it is possible, you'll have to design your menus so the buttons are within a 4:3 safe area, and also have to live with the difference in pixel aspect ratios.

  • How do I produce a 16/9 aspect ratio DVD for both computer and standard TV display

    Starting with clips recorded on a TM700, record mode HG1920, captured into FCE 4.0.1 and edited using FCE's recommended settings.  The sequences were exported to quicktime movie.  They were then brought into iDVD 7.0.4, which was set to 16:9 aspect ratio.  The results were as expected when shown on the iMac but when the disc was burnt and shown on a standard DVD player through a modern 16:9 TV the image was far wider than the screen although the verticle dimension appears to be correct.
    It appears that the DVD player or iDVD has assumed anamorphic recording and has stretched the width and can't find out how to turn this off. The DVD works well when played on the iMac when using DVD Player

    Hi many thanks for the thought, I have been through all the options on the TV aspect ratio button. 
    If 16:9  TVs are anamorphic then that implies that my clips should be recorded anamorphically (if that's a word), if so then can this be done? Also if this is done then what will that do to the replay through the computer, which appears to work?
    It's looking more and more that the 2 display mediums are incompatible.
    p.s. I should have added that it is in the UK with PAL.

  • Widescreen aspect ratio help

    I'm reading this site:
    http://www.shapeofdays.com/2005/05/a_demonstration.html
    and i read that: "A widescreen standard-definition TV picture is 850 pixels across by 480 pixels down."
    questions:
    1) so what is the aspect ratio if i change the "standard-defintion" to read HD or Hi-Definition?
    2) preface: i created a Widescreen project using iMovie HD 5.0.2 that was shot at 16:9. i created a DVD from the iMovie project and it is 16:9. i "shared" my finished project and selected Full at the first prompts and got a dialogue saying something about the full quality of my project being saved; it produced a QT .dv file of the size of my project (about 3 gb) which is correct, afaik.
    question: why is my exported [at] Full dv quality QT .dv file only 720 x 480? instead of 850 x 480?
    ==
    while i'm asking questions: i'm about to export that .dv file to H.264, however i wish to reduce the view size by half --for a lower size-- how do i correctly assign a new properly reduced 50% size so that my aspect ratio is preserved only smaller by half?
    thanks.

    A widescreen standard-definition TV picture is 850 pixels across by 480 pixels down
    A standard NTSC picture is 640 x 480
    BUT, DV format saves video in a 720x480 ratio. DV pixels are not square, however. When shooting standard TV, the pixels are higher than they are wide and appear 640x480. When shooting widescreen, the pixels are wider than they are tall, thus giving a 16x9 (850x480) appearance.
    As to your specific question about H.264, try exporting to a custom size of 425 by 240.

  • Screen aspect ratio preferences for future TP panels ?

    Few days ago during a meeting with Lenovo's pre-sales managers i've raised (also) the issue of panel aspect ratios for productivity vs. entertainment notebooks. I had in mind the W, T and S series.
    Bgnd info: Vs. the letter paper format of <1.3, usually the text and code reader/writer prefers 4:3 and 3:2 tall-squarish formats, while moviegoers (not producers!) favor 16:9 or wider. Also the higher-end tablets adopt the more squarish formats for web browsing, despite the inherent black bars for wide video content.
    Back to the Lenovo meeting: When asked to explain the paradox that Apple, Samsung, Chrome Pixel, Dell and other arguably 'entertainment'/consumer notebooks & tablets come with 3:2 or 16:10 screens --while the "productivity" TP's have all settled on the 16:9 format!-- one brave Lenovo manager has argued that "the engineering student also watches a video in the evening, on the same TP"... :-)
    [i thought only a bad student would compromise his 12+ hrs of reading / writing / coding 'productivity' in exchange for 90-min of video enjoyed perhaps w/o black borders... yet i kept quiet, enough fire was already flamed :-) ]
    Nonetheless, he has kindly agreed that the panel format argument is not new, it remains open, and the 16:9 panels are indeed the most cost effective (largest production lines, not dis-similar from another cost argument, i.e TP's decay from its distinctive 7-row KB layout to the current 6-row generics).
    The future, he said, remains open for better, new/old concepts  & machines to be reintroduced perhaps by popular demand etc (personally i speculate a new 17" perhaps). We all know the drill and promises made in hot situations.
    Hence i did not raise more involved technicalities, e.g., panel quality, gamut, headache-inducing PWM backlights (in 2K$ TP's...?), still the lack of OLED panels for 12-13" TPs, no 10b workflow over the current DP and HDMI (unspecified!), lack of HDCP2.2. etc... :-)
    Net: Given a choice of panel formats, what would you pick for your next TP: Today's 16:9, or perhaps a 16:10, 3:2 or even a 4:3 screen?

    " The W520 was a real workstation. "
    Indeed, the reason why i've returned all the newer models and went back for me and my wife to the w520; other than its 16:9 panel, the rest is a workhorse, all the ports, lights etc. Only for travel i got an S1 yoga (pen & tablet), since the w520 + PSU = ca. 10-lbs.
    I hope that Lenovo will re-consider not only bringing new 17" machines, but also reviving the 'true' TP tradition that has sadly ended with the w520...!

  • LCD/HDTV help for a newbie

    I am a longtime BB customer and am finally taking the HDTV plunge.  I have narrowed it down a bit to the Insignia NS-L37Q (32" is too small, 40" is too big) versus a Dynex DX-37L150A11.  I am not a cinephile so the basic features are fine with me and the price is right (I am a cheapskate).  It is a 37", 1080p LCD HDTV.  This is for basic TV, sports, DVD viewing.  Please indulge a few newbie questions. 
    1) The one small reservation I have is the Insignia's native contrast ratio at 1400:1 and brightness 500/cd/m2.  Should I be concerned that it isn't high enough?  I note the Dynex 37" in the same price range is 4000:1 but 450/cd/m2.
    2) I have DISH satellite but may switch to DirectTV but assume both are similar.  I assume I'll need a special HDTV box from them, correct?  And HDMI cable to connect from box to set?
    3) I have never bought a service plan in my life but am considering one for this.  The Insignia already comes with a 2 year warrenty and this extends it to 4 as I understand it.  Is $89 on a $549 LCD worth it?  I'll be ticked if a pixel goes out in the middle of the screen, but does "burn in" still even happen on these units?
    4) I run the DVD player through my stereo currently (because I am too cheap to buy home theatre sound) so would I just hook that up the same way through the audio inputs?  I understand it won't be digital or anything.
    5)  It has 3:2 inverse pulldown.  Is that good and why should I care?
    Any help from the experts here is greatly appreciated. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would recommend the Insignia, as both are Best Buy house brands but I've noticed better image quality and reliability with the Insignia's as opposed to the Dynex tv's.
    1)  While the Dynex has the better contrast ratio, the difference between 1400:1 and 4000:1 is not very staggering.  Disregard this comparison.  
    2)  Yes you will need a set-top-box from DirecTV, fortunately you can pick these boxes up at the store and can subscribe to your DirecTV account while you shop.
    3)  $89 for 2 years of peace of mind on an LCD tv is worth it, though I don't think it extends the contract to 4 years, rather, the service plan covers "normal wear and tear/heating issues/power surges", whereas the standard 2 year warranty only covers manufacturer's defective parts and labor.  $89 is fair, cheapskate or not.
    4)  Your DVD player setup will work fine, but consider getting a blu ray for next Christmas, you'll thank me later.  
    5)  Don't worry about this.
    I don't claim to be an expert, but I am an enthusiast, so any "experts" out there feel free to chime in and correct me if I may be wrong.

  • MBP was hacked? Help for a Newbie.

    Hi everyone. I think my WEP was cracked and my MBP was hacked. WEP was cracked because the lock is gone. Tried to restart, sorry don't have access to router to restart that or confirm connections on that hardware. Connecting to MBP via airport. Have been in system preferences and attempted to re-connect with WEP passowrd. I've learned online that WEP2 is better, so lesson learned. If I post the netstat commands I ran would you be able to tell me if my system has been hacked? From my newbie knowledge of how to read netstat I thinkit was-  There have been connections to open port numbers in the 5000 range from which I have read online is an alert. Also, I do not recognize the ip addresses or hostnames and also I see files were sent and received. I've run Mac Scan trial version - but from my knowledge this does not confirm connections to my computer from an ulocked airport connection. Additionally, all of a sudden I have theDS_Store on my system, is this an indicator of a hack. Sorry guys and gals for all the Q's.If this is the incorrect forum for the question could you kindly point me to where I would ask this. Thanks for any help. JO

    Thanks people. I xed out some info I think is personal ip or isp - let me know if you needed this info. i called it my ip but maybe it is my isp - in any case, it starts with 192. Let me know also if i posted too much info.
    netstat - It's alot of info. on the internet I see amazon web servers is  Ec2 is this- and from what I read this is a way to transfer files.
    Today I closed all browsers, and ran netstst -n and netstat.
    as I noticed other times I ran and lookedup the ip address that they were browser tabs that I had opened (makes sense- it's reading what my computer is connected to).....
    Thanks guys.and if i was hacked should I take computer to genius bar or police?
    -  JO
    From today

  • Editing help for a newbie :) baby photo editing effect

    hello everyone Firtly im sorry if i am posting in totally the wrong area but its the first time i have been on the site so not too sure of my way around lol
    Im in desperate need of some help with photo editing in cs3.
    basically i have seen some baby photos someone i 'know' has taken where a lovely effect has been applied. I asked her how and this is what she said:
    'I create a fill layer of a shade of the middle tone of the sikin colour reduce the opacity, then add a texture mask to bring back a bit more of the features and paint it on the areas .. then just sharpen areas such as eyes nose and mouth .. and highlights to the corners of the eyes and centre of the mouth .. and then select high pass as a mask and that makes the image pop out a little bit'
    But being a newbie i have no idea how to do any of this!! lol i know my way around photo shop a bit but just afetr ANYONE who can help me step by step pretty pretty please?
    here are 2 examples of the images that use the effect incase that makes it easier for anyone to know what i mean lol (hope the links work)
    Thank you all in advance if you can help xx

    The description seems somewhat unclear in parts.
    'I create a fill layer of a shade of the middle tone of the sikin colour reduce the opacity, then add a texture mask to bring back a bit more of the features and paint it on the areas ..
    Nor sure what she means with »texture mask«, but possibly just applying heavy noise (Filter > Noise > Add Noise) on the Layer Mask.
    then just sharpen areas such as eyes nose and mouth ..
    One option is applying Filter > Sharpening > Unsharp Mask to a copy of the Smart Object and setting it to Blend Mode Luminance and painting on its Layer Mask.
    and highlights to the corners of the eyes and centre of the mouth ..
    This could be done with a Curves- or Levels Adjustment Layer.
    and then select high pass as a mask and that makes the image pop out a little bit'
    That seems more than a little unclear to me – making a Selection of a High Pass-result and using it as a Mask for what?
    One can use the High Pass Filter for sharpening.

  • Rotate Crop Aspect Ratio Help LR3

    I know that i am missing something totally easy here...but none the less I cant figure it out.  How do I use the crop aspect change short cut key (x) without flagging my photos?
    I have made sure that I am in crop mode.  When I hit the x key it flags the photo to discard.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thank you Hal!

  • Need help for a newbie problem

    I am VERY new to all this Java programming but have really started to enjoy it.
    I have two problems with my program that I can not find answers to.
    1. I am looking to find out why my code will not select the right answers when I select the first choice in the array. The answer that is delivered turns out to be the 3rd selection. The second and third selection work great, but the first selection always turns out with the thrid answer.
    2. I know I need to do better error checking on the user input. At this point I am only checking for correct integer input, but I dont know how to fix or avoid the error for when the user would mistakedly enter letters instead of numbers.
    Any hints?
    Code to follow... I hope...
    No gui allowed for this program.
    First time posting so I hope this works and I do it the right way...

    Thanks for any help!

    When you choose Java to solve the problems, you need to adapt to the power/strategies/methodology that java offers you, and thats the way for solving problems in Java.
    Why would you put the entire implementation for calculation inside main method? You could break down the program into smaller methods which could do the calculation bit and then call them in main method.
    Anyways the reason that it is calculating for term of 7 years is that
                           // for statement loops last repayment option
                           for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
                                    {mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
                                     yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];You are changing the value of the array yTerm[ ]. Hence once the control is out of the for loop the value of y[0]=7,y[1]=7 and y[2]=7.
    Solution 1: mark yTerm as final.
    Solution 2: set yTerm[0], yTerm[1] back as 30,15 after the for loop.
                      if (rOller1 <= 2)
                           // for statement loops last repayment option
                           for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
                                    {mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
                                     yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];
                                     mTerm[rOller] = mTerm[rOller1++];
                                     iRate[liRate] = iRate[liRate1++];
                                //Output to screen for numerical repayment option info
                              System.out.println("    " + rPay + "\t    $" + fappAmount + "\t\t " + yTerm[rOller2] + "\t" + mTerm[rOller] + "\t    " + decimal.format(iRate[liRate]) + "% \t$" + decimal.format(mPayment[lPay])+ "\n\n");
                           yTerm [0]=30;
                           yTerm [1]=15;
                              }Futher the issue is with monthly calculation of pay back amount in switch - case statement.
    As you have not provided what the problem is and what is the criteria for calculation of monthly interest or reducing the amount etc. Its not possible (at least for me) to tell you why it would run to negative. Mathematically that is the only thing possible,
    Step 1: make those changes in your code. Make changes required to claculate the balance.
    Step 2: Execute the new code and
    Step 3: Gimme the dukes.
    Cheers
