Can I change an exisitng project's Preset?

Let's say I made an egregious error in not paying attention to the Project Preset when creating a New Project. Long story short: the output is incorrect. I have identified the correct Preset for the footage I have, but when I view the file's Project Setting, the Preset is shown but is greyed out. I have made extensive cuts and other editing in the file and would not like to start over.
How can I change the Preset for an existing Project (since it is greyed out) or if this cannot be done, how can I import the editing from this existing Project into a new project (with the right preset this time)?

Clipmate for PRE is not the most intuitive, but here are instructions:
Choppy export video, DNxHD Codec 24fps 1080p
I suggest you use the clipmate trial first to ensure it carries across everything you want it to.
Cheers,

Can't change fps in project properties

I can't change the fps in the project properties in Motion 3. I can change everything else, but that. It is stuck at 29.97 but I want it to be at 23.98. Even when I change the preset to, say, 720p24, the fps is still at 29.97. Is this a bug, or is their a magic setting to change somewhere else?

Oh boy! That's weird. I started a new NTSC Broadcast SD project, but the frame rate was still stuck to 29.97 (the frame rate field is not editable). So instead of changing the preset in the project properties, as I've done before, I tried your suggestion. I created a new project, but in an HD format that supported 24p. I chose the DVCProHD 720p24 setting, fortunately this time, the fixed in cement frame rate was at 23.98; I then immediately changed the preset back to NTSC Broadcast SD within the project properties, and whammo! SD res but the frame rate stayed at 23.98.
This is really, I mean really counter intuitive. Apple really did not think things through. Perhaps it's a programing logic issue... Who knows... it's still sloppy!
Thanks Mark for pointing me in the right direction.

Can't change settings in Project Settings dialog

Hi,
I'm using the CS4 version of Premiere Pro and Encore on Windows 7. I started with footage from an AVC HD camera. I brought it into Premiere Pro and created a sequence from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset. This results in a 1920x1080 frame with square pixels. I then used Dynamic Link to export that sequence to Encore.
Now, in Encore, if I display the Project Settings dialog, all of the options on the Basic tab are disabled except Authoring Mode (Blu-ray or DVD). It only lets me create an NTSC, 720x480 project.
Any idea why Encore doesn't let me select other project settings?

> what do you need to author to?
I want to author a "wide screen" DVD. I'm struggling to understand what it means to author a "standard" vs. "wide screen" DVD. I just posted a question on that subject in this same forum.
> Do you not see those options for a BD Project?
Curiously, no. If I select Blu-Ray, the only option it lets me play with is the Codec (MPEG-2 or H.264). All of the other settings are ghosted.
I guess what I'm starting to realize is that my project output options are constrained by the source matarial I've imported into Encore. But I haven't found anything that directly talks about how the zillions of possible source formats interact with the types of output I can generate using Encore.

Can I change a Anamorphic project to 4X3?

Is it possible to change a Anamorphic 16 X 9 project to 4 X 3 in Motion, without rebuilding it?

I've used the Snapshot option in Rigging to do this. You can build a project in 16x9 and then add a 4x3 snapshot for SD. You will have to make some adjustments to compensate for framing diferences, but you won't have to rebuild everything in a seperate project to support 2 different aspect ratios.

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

Where can I change the presets?

I recorded at 1920x1080 25p my videos do not fit in the sequence window, I guess is because this is set for 1280 x 720. Where can I change the presets for the project? I can't find it anywhere

Thanks to both for your answers... I´m working on the trial version of Premiere PRO CC, I´m not sure if I didn´t explain myself or I just didn´t understand your answers. The thing is that my video don´t fit in the secuence viewer, they´re bigger, as I was reading there´s a welcome screen, where you are suppose to write the format you want, but I don´t get that menu, when I open a new project. Does the size always have to be 1280 x 720?

How can I change my DVD title without opening a new project?

My DVD title comes up as the name of the DVDSP file name of my project, and i want to give the DVD itself a different title. I tried "save as" and saving the project as the title I want, but that did not work. Where can I change this? Thanks!

In the Outline Tab, select the Disk.
In the Inspector, type in the Name field.

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks
Rainer
(from austria)

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

How can i change the last frame in a trailer i have converted. everything else is fine but the wording is wrong on the final "credits" and don't know how to edit after converting it to a project. Thanks to All.

looking to edit the final frame which is the the "credits" section. I have already converted the trailer. Is it too late to correct some nserts in the credits?
Thanks to all.

If by "converted" you mean that you've converted the trailer to a normal project using the menu option File>Convert to Project, then YES it is still possible to edit the Credits Title.
In the converted project, double-click on the blue Title bar that sits above the background clip. In the Viewer, double-click on the text you wish to change (or highlight text by dragging over it). Now you can replace the highlighted text by typing in the new text. You can also change fonts and font colours.
It's always good practice to duplicate the Trailer before converting it. To do this, while in Project Library view, click on the Trailer name in the Library then select File>Duplicate Project. A copy will appear in the Library with the same name as the Trailer, but with the number 1 appended. You can rename this copy as desired. Now, convert the duplicate to a standard project and continue with your editing as required. You now have the original Trailer in template form (which can be further edited), and can duplicate it again if required.

EDIT: Regarding my first sentence - just noticed that you did mention "converting it to a project" in you topic header. Sorry!

On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project.
iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found. I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

Hi Experts,
Can we change budget status through project statuses window?

Hi
Project statuses window will only deal with the status of the project, not the status of the budget.

Can you change and set your own defult midi sync project settings

Hi All,
Can you change the default Midi Sync Project Setting so they have your own settings everytime you start up logic Pro X?
Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
General Default:
Frame Rate 25 fps
Check auto detect format of MTC
Default required:
Set frame rate to 29.97fps
check 'auto detect format of MTC'
check Enable Separate SMPTE View Offset
MDI Default is:
MTC and MMC all unchecked
Default required:
Check 'Transmit MTC'
Check 'Transmit MMC'
Check 'Listen to MMC Input'
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards,
           Gavin.

No, that's not what I typed above.
The rule is... Preferences are Global, changes made in Preferences affect all Projects.
"Settings" are on a per song basis.
In Logic 9 (and I imagine in X as well) there are two main areas to configure Logic.
1. Is Preferences    Preferences settings are global and affect all projects.
2. Is Settings          Settings are set for each project, they are not global
You typed: Preferences > Midi > Sync >MIDI sync project settings
See what is says, MIDI Sync Project Settings.
Preferences has forwarded you into the Settings area so no, the MIDI Sync options are not global, they have to be adjusted for each song, that's why I suggested setting up templates of your most used project setups.

How can I change the overall duration of a project. I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

How can I change the overall duration of a project. I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

You could add more content.
Or if the project contains stills, these can be lengthened. Double-click on a still photo to open the Clip Inspector. Adjust the duration by typing in the Duration box. Be aware though that if you have transitions either side of the still, you may get odd results with the duration. See this thread for more details:

PS. I'm assuming you want to lengthen the project, not shorten it.

How can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the duration of the original audio clips?

This question is for Logic Express.
I have many very short audio clips that I recorded into my project.
I want to adjust the project tempo so that I can use the snap grid to make a beat out of my short audio clips. But when I change the project tempo, it automatically adjusts the lengths of my audio clips.
So how can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the original audio clips?

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

I hope that helps!
