Can't render out 1.44 pixel ratio for SD 16:9 UK TVC broadcast requirements ?

I'm prepping a TV advert for broacast in the UK and the station require an SD 16:9 1.44 pixel ratio 720x576 (1024x576), the problem is this just doesn't seem possible in after effects or any adobe porduct I can see ?
The only thing I can do is render out a 1.46 pixel ratio 720x576 (1050x576) version.
Any help on this would be greatly apreciated !

1.44 is actually wrong according to the specifications. The PAR for NTSC footage is also wrong. There's an article somewhere on the Adobe site that explains the decision and there's an article by Chris and Trish Meyer on the subject. Adobe changed it to be more, not less compliant. It wasn't that long ago and we were working with 640 X 480 as the standard video size for digital production. The very best workflow is to work in square pixels anyway and only squeeze the image as a final step. And as I said before, there are dozens of codecs that don't even have a spot in their container to define PAR. For some it's like trying to add PPI info to a .gif -
What codec do they require? What data rate? Where's the white paper. I'd be glad to read it. In practical terms, and for every network from the US, to France, to Japan, that I've ever submitted work to, match their request for delivery format and they never look back. They just take your money and play your stuff. Only once in more than 40 years of submitting programming to television did I have to send a network a different file or tape.
You can't be the only AE artist producing for broadcast in the UK. I've been in television since 1969 and was one of the first utilizers of desktop production in a major US market. It's about scan lines and timeing (frame size). Go to Angie Taylors's blog and ask her the question. She's one of the top AE artists and trainers in the UK.

Adobe Media Encoder can´t render out AE Ray-Trace Composition

Hey,
AME can´t render out my composition (or sequence if i include the comp in a PP sequence) which includes some 3D stuff.
I am able to render it out in AE in a few minutes, preview it easily in AE and even in PP but i´m not able to render it out in AME or PP.
AME says it would take like 10+ Hours to render it and doesn´t come to an end.
I tried multiple encoding settings but nothing worked.
Also i checked, that cuda rendering is enabled in all my Adobe programs, but nothing helped...
AE File .aep :
Dropbox - Twitch Infovideo.aep
AME .epr Preset for encoding :
Dropbox - Media Encoder Error Test.epr
Thanks for helping,
Johannes

It raises another question: what settings do I need to encode the comp in 720p resolution without taking up lots of space?
Well, it depends on whether you need a production master (something for broadcast, for example, or to use as a source for other encoding tasks) or if you want a version for distribution. If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with "lots of space" - A Quicktime file with PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it's the latter, H264 is perfect but there's no built-in preset to take 720 material to the web.
You could do this:
* Pick the generic H264 template. You'll see that it will give an error if you attempt to render, because the default setting uses an H264 profile/level which doesn't let you use HD resolutions.
* In the H264 video options, set the "Profile" menu to "Main" and "Level" to 4.0. That will keep it compatible to Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger frame sizes and higher bit rates.
* Set Target Bitrate to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum Bitrate to 9-10 Mbps if you're targetting web delivery. That's a bit over what Apple uses for 720p content on the Apple TV, for example.
The H264 original preset will instruct you in the comment field to stretch to 640x480 in Output Module. There's no need, since you are using a profile/level combination which allows higher frame sizes.

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these?

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it required a pc.As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?

Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc? I was without this app for 3 weeks! Thanks, Lea

The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download. If will take about an hour.

Can't render out of Motion 5 - it's all corrupted!!

Hi all,
Any help greatly appreciated - it doesn't matter what I do, everything I render out of the new Motion is totally corrupted - sample frame below (all look a little like this):
Nasty!
Everything looks great up until render. Tried numerous compressor/size variations, always the same.
Motion 4 still renders out fine.
Running a Mac Pro with ATI Radeon HD 4870
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks Guys.
Don't think it's a project problem as this happens using templates, and stuff of my own creation. I've got a feeling it might be a hardware thing too.
I'm running two graphics cards:
ATI Radeon HD 4870 (DVI and Display Port monitoring)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (No displays connected)
I'm additionally running a Blackmagic intensity pro card for monitoring (which isn't of course currently supported by Motion 5 / FCP X).
I came accross this article :
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3842
which although promising, didn't help me as I removed my secondary monitor connection and the same thing happend.
Very interestingly, as you sugguested, as a test I applied some effects on a timeline in FCP X, and the render becomes corrupt as the effects are applied:

How can I find out what account was used for a Game Center ID?

I have multiple iPhones in my family. I have an Apple ID with a Game Center account.
My son also has a phone with a Game Center account.
I recently swapped phones around when I got the iPhone 4S. Also, we upgraded all of the phones in the house to iOS5.
I think as part of that process, all of the previous log in info was wiped.
Now, my son wants to log back in to his Game Center account, but we can't figure out what Apple ID we used?
I've tried the find my Apple ID links with no avail.
I know what his Game Center handle is... is there a way to track it via that ID?
Help!
Thanks

Nevermind... I figured it out. I just had to log in with the Game Center ID and it worked.
Thanks anyway.

How can I opt out on the default setting for a split window in Firefox 3.6.12 ?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12, the page opens up with two vertically divided panes. Each pane displays a different bookmark. The left pane is generally only about an inch wide and can only be expanded to about 3 inches wide. In that mode, it is pretty much useless and only provides a distraction. How can I opt out on what appears to be the default setting for a split window with two vertical panes.
At this point, I am discontinuing using Firefox in favor of Safari because of this change in the default window.

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

How can I find out if I am eligible for the free upgrade?

I have a current model MB Air, bought in January this year. How can I find out if I am entitled to the free Lion upgrade? I had a runt around the Lion app store page but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance

The only way to get it free that I know of is that you have to have bought a new Mac on or after June 6th, not January..... so it seems you'll need to pay for it.

Where can I find out what the rules are for extracting Purchase Orders?

Hi all,
Relating to BI 7.0, ECC 4.6
From a business perspective we are looking to be able to identify ALL the rules/criteria for Purchase Orders when they are extracted in ECC to BI.
The datasource is 2LIS_02_ITM
For example deleted PO items are not extracted to BI, nor where LOEKZ (Memory flag =X).
In brief there is criteria that identifies which PO items are extracted.
Where can I find out what ALL of these conditions for extraction are?
I have looked in the extractor program MCEX_BW_LO_API and there is a class for filling the a table but I cant see any criteria here to how it decides WHAT to extract i.e where in the code the criteria is set.
Also this of course could be set in customizing somewhere?
Anybody know where?
Thanks in advance.
Steve Jones

you can also check the start routines in BI for 2LIS ITM, there are a few exclusions and PO deletions there.
you can find more information in SAP Notes.

Can't figure out MIDI programme change mapping for Gigastudio in Logic

Not sure if this is Logic topic or not. I have GS running on a PC, coming up in Logic. I have been using it for years successfully, but never bothered to activate the programme change boxes in Logic, because GS setups, for me, are always static and never require P. change.
However, now I would like to use this feature, bu it doesn't seem to work logically. I have the P.change boxes all checked in the four, 16-part multi objects in Logic's environment, but when I attempt to use the feature in the arrange page, GS seems to respond randomly. I simply wish to have GS respond in order 1,2,3,4, etc, mapping to Logic's 1,2,3,4,etc., but this is not happening. Could this be a bank select issue? So far none of the ones I have tried work, and GS's manual doesn't seem to cover this at all.
Can anyone shed any light on this please? Thanks.
