Capture full resolution HD ?

Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
My project can only be 1080i 25p, and I can't really get the 25p from my HV20.
I can not find any way to get screenshots in full resolution.
How can I get to work in 1080i50 ? I want to capture and work in full res.

Hello povlhp,
Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
What exactly do you mean by full resolution?
How can I get to work in 1080i50 ?
iMovie captures HDV via Apple Intermediate Codec, meaning it transcodes from the HDV MPEG-2 to a format that can be edited in iMovie. If you want to capture HDV natively, you'll need Final Cut Pro 5 or higher - but beware, editing HDV natively isn't without problems due to the compressed format.
hope this helps

  • HOW TO CAPTURE FULL-RES IN QUICKTIME????

    Hi
    A friend of mine who doesn't have FCP needs to capture full-res DV Quicktimes of DV & DVCAM tapes.
    However, when I select "device native" in the Quicktime Recording prefs, Quicktime captures a 640x480 movie, not a 720x480! I encounter this issue despite capturing from several different decks.
    Now, the 640x480 recording looks squished; when I manually change that recording's resolution to 720x480, the image appears to be the proper aspect ratio.
    But why isn't Quicktime capturing in DV's proper resolution to begin with? Please advise.
    --Tasty

    Simple answer:
    Don't use the new "One Click" recording feature found in the Mac version of QT Pro if you wish to further edit the file in DV editing apps.
    The button says that it will create a .mov file. Quicktime doesn't use the "rectangular" pixels (wrong phrase but you know what I mean) found in a DV source file.
    Slower computers may also notice a significant "frame drop" when making these recordings.
    The file created by QT Pro is correct. A 4:3 file should be 640X480 in dimensions. It is only when these 4:3 files are imported into DV editing app (iMovie, FCP) that you notice the change.
    Since you must have QT Pro to make these "recordings" use its Movie Properties/Visual Settings window to change the dimensions.
    If you use a DV source you are better served by importing the file using iMovie (or other apps).
    Square pixels vs. rectangular pixels.
    Your friend should import the .dv files using a DV editor.

  • Mini-dp to vga or hdmi, need full resolution

    I've HP laptop which has two ports, VGA and HDMI.
    I want to connect the Apple 27: display, which has the mini-dp output to my laptop. When I purchased the display, I bought a mini-dp to hdmi adapter, and connected the display to the adapter, and connected the adapter to the laptop using a hdmi-hdmi cable. But, the image is very blurry, and I'm not getting the max resolution on the display.
    Could you someone give any advice/comments? Do I need a dual link dvi-d adapter?
    Thanks!

    Your laptop isn't compatible with the Apple 27" monitor. There are only two possible interfaces that can be used to drive the 27" at full resolution. One is DisplayPort and the other is Dual-link DVI, neither of which your laptop has.

  • MacBook Pro and External Display on full resolution

    I want to use only my external 20" cinema display, connected to my MBP. So what I do is connect the display via the DVI cable, close the lid of the notebook, wake it up from the keyboard/mouse (now I have the full resolution of the Cinema Display), open the lid so I can use the keyboard and the trackpad. This is all right with me, but when I restart or after sleep MacBook's display turns on and is set up as primary and the Cinema Display goes to Dual View mode. Is there a way the laptop to remember the external Display as primary, so I don't always have to close the lid, wake up the laptop and open the lid.
    For instance, when I've done this for the first time in Windows, I didn't have to do it again. Now every time I log in in Windows, the macbook's display automatically turns off and the Cinema Display gets its full resolution. This is what i want to be done when I boot in Mac OS.

    I know both scenarios (OS X/Windows), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as your internal display is open while waking from sleep or booting up, it will be always on in OS X. I'm only using my external Cinema Display and keep the MBP's lid closed all the time. Of course, I use an external keyboard and mouse as well. You can only choose which display has the menu bar on it, but you can't turn it off without sleeping the Mac. In Windows the ATi/Nvidia drivers take care of your settings, but it won't be applied until you get to the Desktop, so you'll still have the internal display on while booting Windows...

  • How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

    I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program.  I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer.  Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression.  Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie."  In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file.  But in fact you are.
    One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you.  Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor.  Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor."  BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once.  When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day.  But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression.  Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie."  Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable.  In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
    Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

  • Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

    I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
    I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
    Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • Bug with MP3 tags & full-resolution photo storage...

    My birthday was last week and I got a new iPod classic 120 gb......
    I am a music (67 gb) and photo buff (22 gb)......and I am having trouble with each. I am using the XP box to do the syncing, since my wife's iBook doesn't have enough storage space to hold all of our photos and MP3s.
    1) Music...... for xmas and my birthday I got 7 new CDs.... I ripped all 7 into iTunes prior to syncing my iPod for the first time and all 7 work perfectly on my family's 3 computers (laptop running OS X 10.4.11, laptop running Ubuntu, and an old Windows XP box that I use as a file server). Yet they all don't show up correctly on the iPod.....
    a) +Slumdog Millionaire+ soundtrack shows up in iTunes with each artist for each track listed correctly....yet on the iPod all songs are under "Various Artists"
    b) +The Best of Clifford Brown+ & +The Juno sountrack+ don't show up at all on the iPod even though they register correctly in iTunes
    c) Charles Mingus' +Mingus Ah Um+ & The Soundtrack for the movie Once.......shows up under album view on the iPod with "Charles Mingus" listed as the artist, but does not show up under Artist view.
    d) The other two CDs work normally.
    I ripped all of these CDs at the same time. They all work perfectly in iTunes and in Amarok on my laptop running linux. Why won't they show up correctly on my iPod? It is only these new CDs, the rest of of my giant library synced perfectly. I deleted the files and restored the iPod and the MP3s on the desktop from my back-up but that did nothing.
    What is causing this? Should I re-rip the original CDs?
    2) Photos.....I think this is just an Apple thing....but I thought I'd ask....I take LOTS of pics.....my pictures all synced up perfectly with my iPod. I selected the option to upload the full resolution photos as an added redundant back-up since i have the extra space on the iPod......but iTunes didn't take my existing file structure (each folder is an album)...it dumped my 20,000 plus photos into a single folder for March 15th (The day of the original sync) in the iPhoto style file system. The tags are all intact with the correct date, but iTunes didn't read them.
    I know this is a personal preference thing.....but I stopped using iPhoto exclusively because it made backing up my photos too cumbersome between different operating systems. I've always found it ironic that it is easier to illegally share copyrighted MP3s out of iTunes then to share non-copyrighted family pics out of iPhoto. It seems my iPod is forcing me back into the iPhoto file system. Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to just copy my existing file structure so that I can navigate through album folders rather then the giant mass of photos.

    Shawn, the issue with the music is likely due to the fact that the CDs in question are compilations (or at least marked as compilations in iTunes).
    When an album is labeled as a compilation, the iPod will not list its contents under the artist, instead, you need to enable compilations on the iPod and look there. It will also place the album art for these tracks at the end of Coverflow.
    You can undesignate tracks as compilations by right clicking the tracks, choosing "Get Info" and go to:
    Options tab (if you are highlighting multiple tracks)
    Info tab (if you are highlighting single tracks)
    I can't help with your photo issue (I only have music on my iPod), though you are probably correct that this is just the way Apple has chosen to file the photos.

    Upload speeds are a major issue as they are generally much
    much slower
    than download speeds.
    I don't know of any other way to do it faster to be honest.
    Jpg, as already mentioned, is the most time effective
    solutuion when
    transfering huge image files via the net. If you know the
    final output
    size the image is going to be used at you can cut down on
    excess
    megabytes by making it that size before upload BUT you don't
    always know
    at what output size its going to be used.

  • HT204570 I have a ~22k pic iCloud photo library. I want to have a folder of ~1.2k pics available on my iPad in full resolution while offline, all the time. Can this be done?

    Hi - I have had iCloud photos turned on for about 2 weeks.  My old iPhoto library of around 22k pics uploaded no problem.  My issues are with now viewing them on my iPhone and iPad, which are set to optimise storage.
    On the iPad I used to have a folder of about 1200 pics which I'd use as a photo frame by chucking on as a slideshow on my desk at work. I don't connect to the wifi there.  Since iCloud photo I can't do this, as the pics are mostly low res, if there at all (two weeks after upload the vast majority of my library appears as just a sea of grey squares on both i-devices - thumbnails have not appeared for huge swathes of the library at all.  Is this going to right itself?).   I read about using Favourites to ensure local full res copies are kept, so I've gone through and favourited each pic (no option to do this in bulk on the iPad?) and this has ensured at least that each pic of those selected have thumbnails now, but no guarantee that the full image will display.  Even when I run the slideshow connected to wifi the low-res pixelated placeholder is what's displayed for most of the time the image is on the screen.  And if Favourites is the way to force local hi-res copies I still have no need for these to be also stored in full resolution on my iPhone.
    Basically, I want a way to force folders to be available in full, offline, and specific to the device.  Is this possible?  Big step back for what I use this thing for if not.

    Is there anything ornate in the frame images. Or are they more or less just made with strips of standard framing molding. If nothing fancy just molding  then an action that uses patterns and a little bit of scripting can frame your images orientation does not matter a little scripting handles that.  To scale you images to the proper size will take some scripting and the spread sheet exported to a CSV file containing filename width and height.
    My crafting action package contains 12 scripts to be used in actions.  Two of which would be very useful for your project. If you create you script to size the images so they have the correct print size.  The framing of these would be easy.  The action would first run two of my run twice scripts for action.  The first scripts saves the documents current resolution so the action can change it to what it need the document to have for its framing patterns.  The second script will rotate portrait images to landscape orientation.  The action can the add the 1" frame. once the frame is in place the action the runs the two scripts again. The second time these action run they will restore thing. One will rotate the documents it rotated to landscape back to portraits and the other will restore the documents resolution.  My image visualization package has framing actions and a script to make a 1" mitered selection to be filled with the framing pattern.

  • HDMI to DVI adapter not allowing full resolution when using Mac OS but does with Windows 8.1

    I have a Mac Mini and using the HDMI to DVI cable that came with the computer the maximum resolution it will allow is 1280 x 1024. I have 2 of the same monitors. The other is connected with DisplayPort to VGA adapater and displays full resolution (1920 x 1080) on both monitors but the HDMI to DIV will only show 1280 x 1024.  I thought maybe it was my DVI cable or the adapter but when I boot up in Windows 8.1 through bootcamp both monitors display at full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Why does Windows give me the option for full resolution on both but the Mac OS doesn't? All the latest updates have been installed. I've contacted support and all the things they had me do didnt work. I see all these posts with people complaining about the same resolution issues. Is it that difficult for this to work?

    Humm... the dual Samsung 21.5" monitor setup on my 2010 Mac Mini running Mavericks works a expected.One is on the HDMI to DVI adapter and the other in on a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    Try > Display Menu from the Mac App Store and see if you can select 1920 x 1080 for both monitors using it.
    Addtitionally, are you sure that it the HDMI to DVI monitor that is not getting the correct resolution...? Most people are complaining that it is a VGA connected monitor that is not getting the correct resolution.
    If it turns out to be VGA connected monitor, then try using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and DVI cable for that monitor instead of VGA.

  • How to run acer b276hul in full resolution

    My company just bought me a new ACER B276HUL monitor. It's really nice (excerpt for the builtin speakers - they stink). My windows co-workers can run their monitors at the full native resolution (2560x1440). To do this they have to use the display port. Turns out that HDMI and DVI both max out at 1920x1xx0. So - I went and bought a Altaz mini-displayport to displayport adaptor to use with my MBA 13" (Mid 2012). If I try to drive the monitor at full resolution, the only thing that happens is that I get 1/5 of the screen filled with what looks like out of sync video. If I drop it down to 2048x1152 resolution, then I can see everything (but it's scaled).
    I thought that might have been an issue with the Altaz adaptor so I tried a QVS adaptor. I got the same result from that experiment.
    Had anyone been able to use one of these monitors? The Preferences panel for this monitor doesn't let me change the refresh rate. Is there some other way to try to tweak that to see if I can get the OS to sync the full res video?
    Thanks!

    Problem seems to be solved by the following:
    1) Used third-party miniDisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable; plugged DisplayPort end into monitor
    2) Restarted MBA in "Safe" mode (hold Shift key upon MBA start up)
    3) Go to Displays in System Preferences
    4) Higher resolution 2560x1440 can now be enabled with normal, non-flickering or altered viewing
    5) Restart MBA normally
    6) Display retains 2560x1440 display settings
    7) Note: Also works connected to Belkin Thunderbolt Hub as well as directly connected to MBA Thunderbolt port

  • Macbook pro stopped displaying full resolution on Dell U2713HM monitor

    Hey guys,
    I'm using the late 2013" retina Macbook Pro with OSX Mavericks.
    I've been using a Mini DP to DP cable to output full 2560 x 1440 on my 27" Dell U2713HM.
    One day while I had that monitor plugged in, I also plugged in my HDTV via HDMI for an extra screen. When I did that, it set my Dell to 1080p and ever since then I cant seem to change the resolution back to its native res.
    When I go to the display options for this monitor, under "Scaled Resolutions", the entire section is blank. It gives me nothing to choose from. I've restarted my computer a few times, plugged the cable into the other Thunderbolt port, nothing.
    I've tried new cables and went to the Apple Store and they did a PRAM reset. It seemed to work fine when they hooked up a Thunderbolt display to it. But I just cant get my Dell to go full res again. I tried the first cable on another mac and a PC and both let me view it in full resolution. Just not my Mac.
    Any advice? It makes no sense why it was working perfectly fine for a long time and then completely refuses to do so only on mine.

    I have the same setup - late 2013 macbook pro with Dell u2713hm. I've tried connecting with both a mini dp cable to dp (as included with the dell monitor) and also a hdmi cable and I get a strange result - I get full resolution but it looks terrible - pixalated and faded.
    I also have a macbook from around 2009 which I can connect using a dp-dvi adapter and then the dual dvi connector that came with the monitor. It gets a lower resolution but actually looks better.
    Any ideas? Have you seen this issue with your setup (which seems the same as mine).
    Thanks,

  • Need full resolution HDMI audio and 2 CH optical simultaneously

    Am working on an install for a customer who has a Mac Mini.  He is running XBMC for all his movies.  I need to run HDMI to his surround processor with full resolution audio while running the optical out in 2 channel pcm for his whole house audio.  Is this possible?

    As standard sound would go to one or the other output, it is possible to configure things to send sound to both at the same time, but I would strongly expect this would require both to be configured the same i.e. stereo, rather than one being stereo and the other 5.1.
    To configure the Mac to send to both you need to use the Audio MIDI Setup tool in the Utilities folder.
    See https://support.apple.com/kb/PH5178?locale=en_US
    and How to combine multiple audio interfaces by creating an aggregate device - Apple Support
    It maybe that the easiest or more practical option would be to use an AV Receiver set to output via both its stereo and HDMI ports. The Mac would then just send via HDMI to the AV Receiver which would if needed handle the conversion and splitting of the signal.

  • How to get full resolution on Samsung E2420L monitor?

    I bought a Samsung E2420L external monitor for my MacBook Pro.  The box says 1920 x 1080, however I can't seem to get the Mac to push more than 1600 x 900.  Samsung doesn't list any Mac drivers, how can I get the full resolution?
    Thanks!

    Use extended mode rather than mirrored mode in your display settings on your computer. Uncheck mirrored". Mirrored mode mirrors your computer display, including the resolution, to the external monitor. Extended mode lets you use the external monitor's native resolution.
