Aspect ratio off after saving

I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac (OS X). This is my first experience with the program. I edited a couple photos - red eye, cropping - and saved them. Now when I look at the edited photos in iPhoto, the aspect ratio is off. Any idea why this is?

When you used crop you must have chosen a crop ratio in which you cropped your image. You can check more info on aspect ratio from Image->Resize->Image Size (it`s basically width/height or vice-a-versa depending on image orientation.
You can also check at our help link http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/crop-resize-resample-photoshop-elements.html to know more here.
Thanks,

Aspect Ratio changes after the project was reopend

hello everyone,
I have a project with mov-files with apect ratio 1,0, I wanted to change them to 1,33, so I went to interpret footage and change it to 1,33. Then I synchronized the mov-files with audio and made merged clips (all in 1,33). After that I saved the project and open it again and then the original mov-files are back to 1,0, the merged clips are in 1,33, but with a 1,0 footage (so the clips have black bars left and right). Does someone know what could be the problem? Am I doing something wrong so the footage won`t stay in new aspect ratio?

Maintaining Photoshop aspect ratios in After Effects

Hi there,
I'm new to adobe programs...
I'm having a problem when i try to import a 720 x 540 photoshop image into After Effect at the same ratio. After establishing the same settings, my image in AE is slightly cut off at the sides (along the width), as if pillarboxed just barely. There's an outline around the image that seems like it maybe be closer to the 720 X 540 aspect ration, but i don't know how to make the image fill it up.
Any suggestions?

I your AE comp is 720 X 540 square pixels and your Photoshop file is 720 X 540 square pixels then the frame sizes match. If your AE comp is NOT square pixels or your Photoshop file was set to a non square pixel aspect ratio then AE will make the adjustments and you will see some distortion.
You need to learn about pixel aspect ratios and you need to make sure that the source footage is properly interpreted. 720 X 540 is the old standard for NTSC 4:3 square pixels and it will fit perfectly in a 720 X 486 rectangular pixel composition if you're using a pre CS version of AE. The new standard for NTSC square pixels with a 4:3 picture ratio is 720 X 534. This will translate perfectly into a 720 X 486 frame. Unfortunately DV video and most DVD formats are limited to 720 X 480 so 6 scan lines are lost. The playback device strips them off anyway so there not really missed.
To make your life easier just always plan on using the standard presets for your compositions and make all of your artwork square pixels. AE will properly interpret any DV footage you may import and will maintain a completely distortion free workflow. You can then use the Adobe Media encoder to render your deliverable DV or DVD product.
I hope this clears things up a bit. Pixel aspect ratios confuse everyone at first.

16:9 aspect ratio "squashed after import

Hi all,
I have some QuickTime movie files all of which are 16:9 widescreen. They appear correctly in QT and I've checked the properties in the "Show Movie Properties" window.
However, when I import them into IM, the image is shrunk to 5:4 with black areas at the sides. IM Prefs are set up OK for Widescreen import & the auto letterboxing option is un-checked.
The settings are correct as movies imported from camcorder retain the widescreen sizing.
Can anyone please tell me why these QT files are shrunk after import?
Thanks,
TT

If you have the ASPECT RATIO set correctly in Project Properties, then the other thing to check would be the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. Pick a clip in your project and open the Fit, Crop, KB tool. You can toggle between Fit and Crop. Fit will include the entire image, but add black bars as needed. Crop will force fit by cutting off the top and bottom if necessary. If your source footage has the same aspect ratio as your project, then Fit and Crop are the same.

1920x1080 footage in Compressor aspect ratio off

Hi guys,
I'm new to Compressor. I have an HD 1080p footage that I want to down sample to 720p or smaller, but keep the same 16:9 aspect ratio. It seems that Compressor always display and output at 4:3 aspect ration. My compressed video looks squished. What's going on? I'm trying to use ProRes setting.
Can any one help?
Shaun

I had the same thing. I was compressing some HDV to SD 16x9. In the preview it showed 4:3.
After it was compressed, it was in 16x9 format.
Have you tried just doing it and seeing what the results are?

Clips lose pixel aspect ratio setting after relinking

hi there,
after reopening a project from a backup drive I had to relink all my media.
no problem with that...
but after relinking all aspect ratios were lost. files are 2048x1536 anamorph (manually) set to an aspect of 1.33 and then scaled down to 1920x1080.
generally all settings were intact - the aspect ratio setting however was not. all clips had a square pixel setup after relinking.
is this a bug?
thanks!

16x9 aspect ratio lost after FCP export to QT movie

I initially complained about the same problem when exporting from Motion to QT movie, then importing in FCP. This was fixed, and I really enjoy it.
I work 99% in DV anamorphic and all my Applications are set this way. It bothers me however that I lose my anamorphic aspect ratio when I export from FCP to Quicktime movie. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I hope this will be fixed in the next patch as it waists a lot of time correcting it manually. I often export from FCP and into QT Pro, fix aspect ratio and then off to the web. If anyone knows of a better way, I would appreciate the help.
Quad, 20" Widescreen, Microsoft Mouse Mac OS X (10.4.8) Final Cut Studio

No, you're not doing anything wrong - this is a quirk in the way that FCP writes anamorphic QT movies when using the DV codecs.
As you've discovered, the flag is not recognized by QT Player unless you export via QT Conversion and either set the display size manually or, in QT 7.1.0 or higher, select 16:9 output in your Movie Settings.
Sorry if that's no help...

H.264 pixel aspect ratio problem after update

Yesterday I updated Premiere Pro CC and Media Encoder CC to version 2014.2. But now I am having pixel aspect ratio problems with the H.264 codec when I export a 1080i50 sequence to PAL widescreen. The problem also seems to occur with other frames sizes.
I am using the same settings as usual with Aspect set to: D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9.(1.4587). However, VLC and Windows Media Player play the video with a 5:4 ratio. So it looks like the pixel aspect ratio information is not passed to Media Encoder or to the file.
This problem does not affect other codecs like AVI or MPEG-2, these are correctly displayed.
Is there anyone else having this problem? And more important, does anyone know a solution?

When creating files for computer/online playback (not editing), then best practice is to simply use square pixels with 1.0 Pixel Aspect Ratio, which will ensure that ALL players correctly display your video, no chance of problems.
Export as 1024x576 with 1.0 PAR and that is the square-pixel equivalent of PAL DV widescreen.
For NTSC users, I've seen it two ways, either 864x480 or 854x480.

Aspect Ratio changes after relocating files

When I put my video files on a mybook for backup and after reconnecting the media something strange happened. I lost a part of my picture, as if the image has been zoomed in. How can I get my original image back?
All this using Final Cut Express 4.0.1

Yes they have, unfortunately. So it must be some other setting, but I still haven't found which one....

Netflix aspect ratio problem after update

Hi guys...
Before the latest update for my Apple TV (iOS 6.0.0 new) a lot of movies look great, with black bars on top and bottom and great looking subtitles.
Now, i got a lot of movies in full screen mode and all subtitles are now yellow with a gray translucent rectangle.
How can i get the settings back?
Thanks so much!

Same problem here in Argentina.
I contacted Netflix support today and told me this subtitles issue is an Apple test.
I'd like Apple to return my original Netflix subtitles please!

Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio (After Effects CC 2014)

Hi All,
How do you create a custom Pixel Aspect Ratio for After Effects CC 2014. I need a PAR of 3.3, as it would help me solve a technical problem i've been having with projection mapping.
I've tried editing the Interpretation Rules.txt file which was hidden within the Users\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\13.1 Folder. To remove the last # so i can at least see that I can set up a custom PAR.
But it doesn't appear in the drop down menu when creating a comp, or interpreting footage.
I've also made the same change to the Interpretation Rules.txt file in the Premiere PRO CC 2014\Plug-ins\en_US\ folder.
And I've restarted my PC after changes just incase Media Core wasn't updating itself properly.
I can see the Custom PAR as an export option out of Media Encoder. But thats not what i need. I need to be able to correct a render which had a PAR of 3.3 without losing pixel information, much like an Anamorphic workflow.
Anyway, Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Evan

Hi Rick,
You're right, it's no known PAR... completely arbitrary and custom to this particular job. I'll run you through my process.
I have a projection surface (a basketball court) Which needs to have content designed onto it which is viewable from one perspective point (camera 1) in the stadium. The problem is that Camera 1's viewing angle to the court is quite shallow.
This is what Camera 1 sees:
I will be generating like this for the surface so that it looks like a deep 3d surface from "camera 1"
Now, the problem is that when I perspective correct the renders to fit what the projector will be projecting from straight down. There isn't enough pixel information for the height of the image. Meaning the pixels will smear.
This is the image that would be projected from a top mounted projector to achieve the 3d effect from the image above, you can see the loss of information in the the height pixels.
My solution for getting more information into the height is to render out of our 3d packages with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 3.3. This was the sweet spot I found to get enough pixel information to match the pixel output of the projectors.
The resulting render looks like this (note, the angle of the camera hasn't changed)
As you can see, there is more height detail now, which will mean that that last row of pixels will be remain fairly sharp.
So, at this point, I can render from my 3d applications, and conform to the projector dimensions, with very little information loss in the height of the projected image, and without compromising my 3d persepctive.
I'm using the plugin "Camera Mapper" to project this render onto a plane which gets me the full frame of the projector at the right resolution, 4608 x 2304
The tricky part how to composite elements into the scene in an intuitive way.
If i want a horse to look like its jumping through the scene from "camera 1", like this:
Then in the that contains all the information, It will look like this:
Now that's all well and good, but it'll be harder to create realistic looking effects from this view, because they'll all need to be stretched.
I'd like to retain all the image information and just view the comp as though it's squished down.
I imagine this could be done easily by changing the comp settings to a PAR of 3.3.
That way, all the pixel information remains, but i can design in a realistically proportioned composition.
I hope that gets you up to speed on my issue, and my request for a solution.
So, in summary. I'll I'm really looking for is a way to customise the PAR options so that I have a custom available that I can apply to this, and only this scene.
Does this makes sense?
Cheers,
Evan

Import file format aspect ratio

If I import a video in Mpeg2 format, After effects uses the wrong aspect ratio and crops off the sides of the video. Other video formats are fine but my camera records in Mpeg2 so I have to convert before import

What size is the Mpeg2 format? What Pixel Aspect Ratio? After Effects always handles different sizes and pixel aspect ratios correctly if you have not mucked up the settings somewhere in the chain.
Please show us info on your footage that includes frame size, frame rate, and compression. Then Please show us the information on your compositions.

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!

Allow Aspect Ratio Save as Default or Preset

Requesting feature; aspect ratios can be saved as camera default or as a develop preset.

Hello,
What do you have under favorites? Are there some old network shares that the computer tries to access? Do you have any other this kind of objects on your desktop or in other libraries.
you could try to download "Wireshark" OR "network monitor" start log and capture events of whats happening on your network when you press the save as... button. This could give you a clue of WHERE the computer is trying to connect when pressing the button.
If you logon using different account do you still get slow response on "save as..."
BTW. Do you also get slow response when you press "Open" on the file menu?

Aspect Ratio issue when replacing a clip in Premiere CS6 with an After Effects CS6 Composition

Please assist! When I attempt to right click on a clip in my Premiere timeline and replace it with an After Effects composition, I can do so, but problems ensue.
After Effects will start up, but the composition will be in 4:3, even though the Premiere project and clip that I'm altering were both 16:9.
I was able to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in After Effects and then edit what I wanted, but an hour later when I had finsihed, saved, and gone back to Premiere, it had smushed the replaced clip into 4:3 within Premiere.
So to reitterate:
When I replace a clip in Premiere with an AE comp, AE opens in 4:3.
I can change the AE comp to 16:9, but when I save and go back to Premiere, it has smushed the AE comp down to 4:3.
What can I do to stop this?

If you right click on the clip in the Project panel, then select Modify / Interpret Footage you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.
What does it say?
If it says 0.9091 then change it to 1.2121
If it says something else, come back and let me know. I will then have a different answer for you.
Also, what is the frame size of the video.
