Best way to merge 4:3 60i footage with 24p 16:9 on timeline?

I've got footage shot off a Canon XL2 16:9 24pa and footage off a Sony Handycam shot in 4:3 60i. I'd like to get the Sony footage to sit on my timeline but take up the width of the widescreen instead of being a blocky square... Is there anyway to accomplish this?
Thanks,
glenn

Your sort of going about it backwards. Assuming you dont want to finish anamorphic, You should work with a 4:3 timeline and cut your 16:9 footage into that timeline leaving it letterboxed. Then to match the look you should letterbox the 4:3 footage, assuming it was shot to compensate for that cropping. You could always reposition that footage vertically if that helps.

  • What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

    What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
    In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
    logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
    However, is there better way to do this?
    The eventual log file will be something like:
    log message 1
    log message 2
    content from file line 1
    content from file line 2
    content from file line 3
    log message 3
    log message 4Thanks

    I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
    Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

    Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
    Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
            File AAA - contents

    The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
    The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
    The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

  • Best way to merge photos from different macs

    What is the best way to merge photo libraries from different macs onto one mac?

    The only way to merge Libraries - versions, metadata etc - is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    Other than that you will need to export from one Library to the Finder and then import to the other. This won’t get all the Metadata (for instance, Faces) and won't get the Versions either.

  • 60i footage to 24p

    Please understand that i am a rookie.
    I have read other posts but i am a little confused. I am recording some footage in 24p, but it really records it in 60i. i=interlaced so the picture is not really progressive right? I am using a Canon HF S10.
    So I log and transfer and it brings it in to FCP at ( 29.97/Apple Pro Res 422/Square Pix ) in its own clip. I did not see a way to change that.
    I import to the new sequence, say yes to change settings. Changes to ( 1920x1080/HDTV 1080i (16x9)/Odd Field Dominace/29.97 Edit TimeBase/Apple ProRes 422).
    I export with current settings. Open with quicktime and there is interlaced video. I export with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p, there are interlaced lines and in some areas looks worse.
    My final plan is to record to Blu-Ray in 24p, and also export the best possible dvd.
    What tricks do i need to do so that I get the 60i footage to 24p into Final Cut Pro for editing, and make sure i export that way?
    Also i know that Apple Pro Res is awsome to work with, but it requires alot of space. What is the next down version that i could use that will still produce good quality DVDs.
    Thank you in advance....

    Hi Chava
    Maybe this will help lead you in the right direction.
    Using a Final Cut Pro System for 24p Offline and Online Editing
    Using the same Final Cut Pro system for both offline and online editing makes the process as simple and error-free as possible. The workflow when using the same system for both purposes is outlined below.

  • HT4260 I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?

    I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?
    Appreciate your assistance.

    The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
    In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
    Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
    If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
    It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
    Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired.

    I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
    - so that I do
    remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
    body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
    the imbedded
    styles on your page.
    In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
    behind the
    header image.

    I can see the header image stretching right across the page..
    so not sure

  • Best way to integrating mac os x client with Active Directory

    Hi hello
    What is the best way to integrating mac os x client with Active Directory ? i have one Lion Server
    For the Mac client i want Mac use Active Directory for authentification and Lion Server for manage preference.
    Tell me in lion server the magic triangle is it good for what i want do ?? 

    If you have a need now and that need will remain serviceable long enough to justifying the investment, then go with Lion Server and do the Magic Triangle.  This is nothing more than Binding OS X Server to your AD domain and kerberizing services.  Then bind your workstations to AD first, then OD.  Make sure you download Server Admin Tools for Lion.  This gives access to Workgroup Manager.  That is were you will manage your OS X Settings.
    If you are managing more than 50 Macs that need a lot of continued management, then look at JAMF. 

  • Best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?

    What is the best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?
    Step by step in simple wording please, since I am new at this.
    Thank you so much.
    Walter

    As you probably know by now, DVD camcorders are not compatible with FCE or pretty well any other DV based editing system.
    Possibly the simplest (though not cheapest) route would be by using an Analogue-Digital converter.
    Streamclip and other similar programs are supposed to work but I have had no experience with them.
    In the long run probably the best (but costly) solution would be to buy a Mini-DV camcorder - it doesn't have to be a top of the range model - even the cheapest ones can produce high quality video. Then you would not have to mess around converting DVD files with the inevitable loss of quality it entails.
    A cheap DV camera need be not much more expensive than an A/D converter.

  • HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • Best way to merge multiple iPhoto libraries from several external hard drives into one, while deleting duplicates?

    Problem: My wife and I both have MacBook Pros (MBPs).  We take a lot of pictures and import them into iPhoto.  When the storage capacity of our MBPs gets full, I have been moving our iPhoto libraries into external hard drives, which are now multiple (3 or 4).  The problem I now realize we have been making, is that once the iPhoto libraries were copied onto the external hard drives, we were only deleting about half of the photos in each iPhoto library remaining in our MBPs (because we wanted to keep some of the important ones in our hard drives).  Once the storage capacities of our MBPs got full again, I would repeat the whole process again and again.  In essence I now have several large iPhoto libraries (each about 80 GB), each with multiple duplicate photos, divided among several external hard drives.  And I am running out of space on my hard drive again.  So what is the best way to:
    a)  merge all of these iPhoto libraries into just one, while simultaneously being able to delete all the duplicates?  (or would you not recommend this?)
    b)  prevent this from happening again?
    Thanks.  BTW I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and iPhoto 8.1.2 (2009)

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    The Library Manager app can be set avoid duplicates.

  • What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

    Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
    To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  10GB free on a 256GB SS HD.  Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB.  All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
    I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1.  I prefer to work in Aperture.
    The Issue(s)
    Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries.  At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive.  (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
    So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
    When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries.  Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
    In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point.  I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image.  In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
    My Question(s)
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    2.  For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    3.  Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    Thank you!  Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
    With appreciation,
    Christie

    That will not be an easy task, Christie.
    I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
    For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
    See this manual page on how to reconnect originals:  Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images  (the paragraph:  Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
    Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
    and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.

  • What is the best way to get rid of unwanted footage permanently

    I have to shot for the bin on some projects working without a script. I then can be under considerable time pressure to get something out so don't have time to to review properly during the log and transfer process as I might have multiple projects going on. What is the best way to get rid of the useless footage for good. An example is in iMovie you can mark footage as trash and then empty the trash and it trims the original clip for good, very good for saving hard drive space on the move.
    Any ideas how to d this in FCP????
    Have thought about the whole media manger thing but must admit to ignoring this aspect so far. Do it by moving selected clips in a project in media manager????

  • Best way to export for hours of footage

    hi I have more then 10 hours of rushes of rehearsals from a music gig and the client wants to view all the rushes and choose the best bits for a short promotional video, what would be best way to get these on a dvd disc?
    I would prefer the footage to play on a normal dvd player but failing that pc laptop.
    I am familiar with compressor and dvd studio pro but dont want to make dozens of discs which will take many days to create, quality or picture size isnt important at all, but my time for doing it is,
    any one got any tips on what format, compression setting I can use to get as much as possible onto few discs.
    many thanks

    VisualHub will ignore quality and blindly cram as much footage as it is given onto a DVD image.
    Even so 10hrs on a DVD5 is ambitious. (3 discs would be the minimum or 2 DVD9 is my best guess)
    Failing that you are looking at compressing it to MPEG-4 using one of the presets (up to you to decide how small is acceptable) and going the laptop route.
    The best time to leave this running is overnight . . do not expect to see a fast result for what you are asking to do.
