Canvas & Viewer  displaying different Aspect Ratios

Same footage. Original footage in viewer displaying in Letter Box in a 4:3 black area (and appearing much larger). Same footage from Timeline showing in Canvas as 16x9 black area (but not filling the entire canvas). Both are at 100%. I have tried to arrange back to defaults..no avail...Just for clarity..the viewer and the canvas are displaying/formatted for different aspect ratios. They should be the same. how do I fix it?

The viewer will show the footage in the format it was shot in. The canvas will reflect the footage as it will show up in the timeline based on the settings of the sequence.
My guess is that the sequence settings are set to anamorphic or some sort of 16:9 while what you actually shot is letterboxed.
Did you shoot squeeze or letterbox?

  • XML file from '08 has a different aspect ratio in FCP 6?

    I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it. 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 get a display issue with 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? and for the life of me, I've re imported using 16:9, no difference...I have no idea what's going on.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You should really take this to the Final Cut Pro forum as the codecs and the interface is different for Final Cut Express.

    Found the answer, and pretty simple too....yeesh. just click on your clip and go to setting>conform to sequence.

  • Multiclip with different aspect ratio

    I'm noticing that when I try to do a multiclip with a movie format that involves a different aspect ratio than DV I lose the ability to view live multiclip angles. I've tried several formats and it doesn't appear to be codec related. If the aspect ratio of the sequence is 4:3 or 16:9(natively, not anamorphically), the options from the RT menu disappear including the "Multiclip playback" option, and even without putting it into a sequence it won't play back in the Viewer.
    I'm making offline JPEG versions of some HD footage which is 16:9, and I guess I can just make anamorphic versions to work with, but that seems highly unnecessary. Am I reading this problem correctly and if so is there any reason for it or is it a bug?

    I'm multiclipping 4 angles, they're photo jpeg movies as made by Compressor's JPEG 75 NTSC setting but resized to 640x360 with square pixels. The material is located on an external firewire drive. From the same source I'm still able to play 6 or 7 standard-def NTSC DV files as multiclip angles just fine.

  • How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

    How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
    I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter.  I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice?  Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
    In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
    Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
    Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
    When you then export all image will  have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
    Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

  • Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

    Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
    I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
    Thanks

    Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics.  As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc).  That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.

    There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be.  You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions.  However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape  1960:1103 composition occasionally.
    Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio.  Where Landscape  are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape.  Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image  with different  aspect ratios.   One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
    I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

  • Different aspect ratios

    So how do you treat your different aspect ratios now we have iphone 4, 5 and 6 all different sizes?
    Do you build for 4 and then have extra space and backgrounds for 5 and 6, or do you adjust your app based on the different resoltuons by detecting the res and auto adjusting and moving things?

    The answer is it's up to you. What you're asking about is a design principle called 'Fluid Layout' or 'Responsive Layout'. The idea is to design your UI so it responds to the different resolutions and/or aspect ratios of the screen it's on.
    Fluid layout is the term when the app continuously adjusts itself as the window is resize ( this is more of a desktop approach since mobile is on a fixed screen size ).
    Responsive layout is when the UI jumps to a specific state when dimensional threshholds are reached. So you could have 4 different layouts ( Mobile, Tablet, Desktop, Extended Desktop ) that the app can switch among depending on the screen size dimensions. In your case you may want to take the mobile layout and break it up into aspect ratios.
    Responsive layout is more easy to program and recommended for people new to the principle since it's easier to think of set states instead of constant flow. But Fluid Layout is the best solution if your an advanced developer because you never have to go back in and create a new state to support new devices. The layout is always perfect no matter the screen.
    How it works programmatically you usually have a listener, very high up in the program, that watches for the stage resizing and then calls a function that tells the UI to realign itself and go through all the children so they know to realign themselves. In your case you could just run that on launch because your screen size should never adjust. In some cases you should update the children first then the parents.
    Hope this helps.

  • Running fullscreen on monitors with different aspect ratios

    I am trying to run a program in fullscreen on a projector. It works fine on my computer, but the background image appears stretched when I run it on a projector with a different aspect ratio. How can I run it as to prevent this?
    This is how the code looks:
    @Override
         public void start(Stage primaryStage)
              this.PrimaryStage = primaryStage;
              this.PrimaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
              ......which runs with this CSS file:
    #background{
        -fx-background-image: url("background-full.png");
        -fx-background-repeat: stretch;
        -fx-background-position: center center;  
        -fx-background-size: auto 100%;
        -fx-background-color: black;
    }

    Don't stretch the repeat
    -fx-background-repeat: no-repeat;
    AND
    -fx-background-size: cover;
    Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
    Or
    -fx-background-size: contain;
    Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
    Contain will provide a kind of letter box effect like watching an old 4:3 tv show a widescreen 16:9 TV.
    Cover will fill the screen with the image bug clip some of the image if the screen and image aspect ratios don't match.

  • E-M5 Mark II: Why does LR6 not support working with the full 4:3 raw image for pictures taken using a different aspect ratio?

    When importing Olympus E-M1 or E-M10 raw images which are taken in aspect ratio different to native the 4:3 MFT sensor format, LR will display the frame as crop overlay to the full image as captured by the sensor. This is very useful because at time of postprocessing one can still control the position of the frame, and modify if required.
    I was very suprised to see that for E-M5 Mark 2 this is not supported in LR6. The raw file in LR6 corresponds exactly to the frame which was chosen while shooting. Full 4:3 image information is present in the ORF raw file though, which can be easily seen eg using Olympus Viewer.
    Is there any specific reason why this useful feature has been neglected for E-M5 Mark II?
    Thanks

  • Quicktime x displaying incorrect aspect ratio

    Hi,
    I have a strange display issue with QT X which is occurring on both my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro.
    Quicktime X is displaying all movies in a squashed aspect ratio. For example a 640x360 movie is displayed (actual size setting) as 640x340. The same movie displays correctly in QT 7 Pro. The same movie also displays in the correct aspect ratio in iTunes.
    What QT X appears to be doing is displaying the images squashed by 20 pixels. for instance a 1920x1080 actually displays as 1920x1060. The image is not trimmed just squashed into a frame that is 20 pixels too short. It happens with all movies including ones downloaded from Apple.
    any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    Are other people are encountering this distortion?
    I'm not and I routinely convert and proof 4 to 12 files a day as part of my processing activities. In addition, neither test files download from the trailers area nor files sent me for examination seem to display this aberration.
    I wonder if it is something to do with the transport commands moving from underneath the frame to within the picture area.
    Not sure what you are referring to here. If referring to the controls which are visible when the cursor is hovering above the player window, they have nothing to do with changes in the display dimensions as detailed by the "Inspector" window on a properly functioning system.
    I'm not sure this is the issue
    Have explained the basic mechanism governing the normal display of files played in the local players. Basically, either the problem is in the file itself or the problem is in the manner in which good files might be playing in a corrupted or software conflicted player. Comparing playback under different user accounts or on different systems might reveal if the problem is local to your account and/or system. If you don't have a secondary system available locally, posting a test file for comparison by others might determine the problem source.

  • Second Display's Aspect Ratio

    Hi!
    I have two HD 23" Displays
    The picture in Canvas is show correct when "Correct for Aspect Ratio" is cheked.
    But how correct it for second display ,when i turn on External Video?
    In 1440x1080 mode (or other) its show as square
    Please Help!
    Thanks!

    FCE is a resolution specific application. The formats are fixed at standard DV and standard HD frame sizes. You need FCP for this. Or you change the frame size on export and compress for the web. I assume it's for the web as no video standard uses that shape.

  • TV Shows from iTunes in different aspect ratios

    I bought the first series of LOST from the iTunes store, and all of these episodes are the same aspect ratio, and with my Apple TV they fit the TV screen well. I bought season two, and the first episode is the same aspect ratio, although the next episodes are displayed in a squarer format. Is this something I need to change to get them to display in the same way as the first series, or is it just how they come from the iTunes store?
    It's a bit annoying to have them with two black bars at each side, although I don't know if it's an iTunes setting issue, or the format of the videos themselves. It's strange that the first episode is one format, although the next appear to be different.
    Any help or advice would be great!

    I heard back from iTunes store who added the series to my account so I could download it again. They noted that the second and third episodes were the wrong aspect ratio. I re-downloaded the episodes, but they are the same. They've said that it will be corrected in the future.

  • Fixing different aspect ratios in FCP 4

    I need help!!
    I shot a wedding yesterday using 3 different cameras, all with different 16:9 aspect ratios. I used a panasonic, sony and cannon. The sony and cannon has the anamophic squeze while the panasonic has the letterbox outline. Is there a way to pull back and slap the footage shot with the sony and cannon in a letterbox frame to match the panasonic?
    thanks in advance.

  • Need help resizing to a different aspect ratio

    New user here, inheriting a project. This is a simple
    software tutorial with instruction captions on about 80 static
    slides with action buttons to progress. The original background
    images were taken at an odd resolution and resized, so the product
    manager would like them all retaken to be less blurry. Oh, and,
    while we're at it, how about changing the aspect so the Windows
    task bar isn't covered up in 800x600 resolution?
    This would seem simple enough; just resize the project to
    800x570, retake the images at 800x570, and Bob's yer uncle. But Bob
    is simply not cooperating. The Edit and single-slide previews look
    fine, but multiple-slide preview and published slides show the
    background images at 800x570 and a gray bar at the bottom to make
    the project window 800x600.
    I tried creating a new project with a custom size of 800x570,
    then copying in the slides from the first to copy and paste
    captions, buttons, etc. Voila! previews are 800x600 again.
    Obviously I am missing something here!
    never mind, gave up and resized to one of the presets. The
    gray space at the bottom was the skin border.
    Now, how do I delete a useless post?

    OK.
    Those are the correct settings for Widescreen export.  The only other issue here is that broadcast uses a slightly incorrect Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.2121  (the correct should be 1.185).  Your version of Premiere Pro also uses an incorrect PAR, but one that doesn't exactly match the broadcast PAR.  Later versions of Premiere Pro were altered to adopt the same incorrect PAR.  (So now at least everyone is doing it wrong in exactly the same way.)
    Plenty of folks, I'm sure, used this earlier version to create broadcast output, so you can probably get away with it.  If not, you may have to upgrade to CS5.
