Captured 16:9 appears 2.35:1  though??

I am simply looking for some consistency in my work flow. For some reason I am getting my SD footage to be fine and full screen 16:9 SD on my HDTV but on other projects and in the viewer/canvas...it appears 2.35:1 (meaning the screen is not only 16:9 ratio but on top of that there are letterboxing bars on top of the 16:9 image too, creating a 2.35:1 look) !! What on earth am I doing wrong here? What setting shall I check?
Yes, when captured it was checked as 16:9 anamorphic checked. Settings also are the same in my settings in the timeline...what else can i do or check?
Thanks!!

It's possible your camera captured this footage not in anamorphic mode, but in letterbox mode, that is, with black bars top and bottom of a 4:3 frame. If you see black bars in the viewer or canvas, it's already been "matted" and you shouldn't flag it as anamorphic.
Flagging letterboxed 4:3 footage as anamorphic would produce exactly the behaviour you describe — and it's possible your HDTV is automatically adjusting the image to mask any problems.

  • Captured video-material appears far too dark

    hi there!
    I have a great problem (being under time-pressure with a project): video-material, taken with a canon HV30, that looks all right on the camera-screen, appears FAR TOO DARK (not usable), after beeing captured. the problem does not seem to be a premiere-problem (I have CS3), since windows movie maker produces the same fault. it is neither a pc-screen-calibration or -regulation-problem, since the same material played onto the same screen by another pc, that displays everthing else perfectly, is also too dark. the answer must be between the cam-corder and the capturing software? does someone have a clue? (the problem seems to be not only mine if you check via google... and the solution seems not to be at hand...)
    I'm working with DV-widescreen(16:9)-PAL-material converting it with 16-bit sound and 48 kHz.
    following my relevant systems-data... (everything is updated with the most recent drivers...)
    thanks very much indeed in advance!

    thanks,
    dear craig,
    for your thoughts and tips!
    I will do that just for curiosity. but then I would have to know how the waveform-scopes should ideally look like? where can I find model-scopes? (and, what's more, the camera "gave up its spirit", as we say in german: can't be switched on any more - brand new... so I'll have to get it fixed...)
    but: it seems to me, that your path-finding leads in the wrong direction... see: the camera records pictures digitally on a tape. from the tape it is able to read the data again out onto a screen - and fine! now: you should be able to reproduce that outside the camera - and not blame it somehow...
    others seem to have the same problem with different cameras and different systems-cominations (operating system, graphic cards...). so it can't be just my camera. the problem is not so easy...
    the guy here - http://forum.videohelp.com/topic281706.html - seems to aim in the right direction (imho): he touches the point of the colour-spaces used! he says inside the camcorder IRE 0.0 / 16-235 color space is used. right? well: outside the cam on a computer-screen RGB or sRGB is used, right? so some transformation has to happen - or may be, it is not done - with the bad result, we have...
    now the chap there speaks about the possibly wrong codecs. a codec however has to do with compression/decompression. but - they say - the capturing via firewire is just the unaltered transmission of data, and .avi (the resulting format) is compression-free! so the problem is not a codec-problem. but how's the software called that changes the color-spaces or should change them???
    what astonished me very much is to see that, when I change the screen-settings for color/luminance with my nvidia-graphics-card, then everything on the screen changes exept! the to video-images in the two screens (source, program) in premiere... so premiere seems to use its own screen-controle here!
    and why actually can't I choose somewhere which the output-conditions for and after the capturing shall be, e.g. the clip-format (.avi, .mov etc.) and - may be! - the color-space! I can just say "DV 25i PAL max. bit-depth" and, under device(=cam)-controle, brand and type of device (and again PAL). now I can choose "canon" but not "HV30" (not contained in the list) - just "standard" instead. but that raises the question: what colour-space are the various cameras using and sending??
    now if I check the supported camera-brands and -types online on the adobe-website (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/dvhdwrdb.html) I can't find canon's HV30 (just the semi-pro-models, for which "conditional support" is promised... but problems seem to lay elsewhere).
    on the website, where you can check the compatibility of your cam with premiere, adobe boasts its "Preconfigured solutions
    Certified Adobe OpenHD configurations (that) help ensure compatibility between hardware and software components." if you click on the linked text some general boasting and buy exhortations about the "creative suite" come up - no precise information...
    should this well known and ill suffered compatibility problem not be handled more clearly and competently?
    please help me finding the solution, which is: to interprete the recorded data on the tape, that get transferred via capturing, like the camera does!
    thanks a lot indeed!
    hilmar
    ps: it is interesting to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space, where it says: "YIQ was formerly used in NTSC (North America, Japan and elsewhere) television broadcasts for historical reasons. This system stores a luminance value with two chrominance values, corresponding approximately to the amounts of blue and red in the color. It is similar to the YUV scheme used in most video capture systems[2] and in PAL (Australia, Europe, except France, which uses SECAM) television, except that the YIQ color space is rotated 33° with respect to the YUV color space. ...
    " you see: two different color spaces in TV and CAPTURE SYSTEMS! is premiere not a capture system?? and what do the graphics-devices underway between the camera and premiere??

  • Startup Volume screen keeps on appearing - no keys pressed though

    I've had this problem since I've had my Mac mini (about a year now). Sometimes the startup volume screen appears despite not having any other Hard Drives connected apart from the boot drive (which is the internal Hard drive) and despite not pressing any keyboard keys on startup.
    I am using 10.5.2 with the latest mini firmware and am unable to think what could be causing this? I have selected my main hard-drive in the startup disk preferences and have no permissions/hard drive problems (so says disk utility) but the problem persists. It's a minor annoyance but one I would welcome any help with.
    Many thanks,
    Paul

    Hi and many thanks for the reply.
    The only drive I attach is a firewire one to do time machine backups but I always disconnect it once I've finished backing up (the firewire lead is still attached to my Mac though, just not to the drive).
    The SMART status of the drive in Disk Utility is verified.
    I've taken this Mac back once to be repaired for this problem but they found nothing wrong with it. It is a very intermittent problem though and only occurs rarely. A small, but annoying niggle. I am also using a KVM switch but I didn't have this problem with my last Mac, another mini, connected to the same KVM.

  • Plug in my iPhone to Mac; image capture does not appear

    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) on MacBook Pro
    iPhone: Version 7.1  (Is it an iPhone 5: LOL… I don't know! It's the newer taller, round one!)
    When I plug in my iPhone to my MacBook… my pictures do not load like usual.
    (Same thing when I put in a photo card)
    Sometimes the device will appear; but import is not an option to select.
    EVEN if I change the parameters down on the bottom left to Image Capture, iPhoto, etc.
    Usually, my phone will appear on the left hand side and I am able to click Import.
    However; this time NOTHING happens.
    Can someone please help?
    All the directions I have read through (dozens!) for the last 5 hours do not give the step on what to do IF the Image Capture does not work.
    Same thing in iPhoto.  Nothing. Nada.
    I have plugged and replugged.
    Tried different cords.
    OH, help! Please!

    Hi solutionfocused,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue importing photos with multiple devices and applications on your Mac. The article linked below provides a lot of great tips that may resolve the issue, like taking a screenshot to ensure there is a new photo to be imported since the previous import.

  • Purchased apps won't appear in iTunes, even though they are in my account

    Hi.
    I switched to Windows 7 (clean install), installed iTunes and my purchased iTunes apps won't show up, neither in the library nor in the left hand column where you can sync with the ipod (touch). And yet the programs do appear on the list of purchased programs when I look into that on my account.
    One thing is peculiar: iTunes states that this is my 3rd of 5 allowed PC's (and it used to say my 2nd of 5 while running the same PC with Vista).
    Is there any way to re-get these programs (and updates!) back active?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hans Timmermans

    Did you back up those apps before you did the clean install of Windows 7 and then copy them back into iTunes? If not, then they won't be there on the system so they won't show up. You need to either restore those apps from your backup or go through the purchase process again for each app; if you purchased them once, you won't be charged a second time even though it will look like it will until you actually download.
    iTunes states that this is my 3rd of 5 allowed PC's (and it used to say my 2nd of 5 while running the same PC with Vista).
    This is often the case when you reinstall the OS without deauthorizing the computer from the iTunes Store first. Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:

  • Sometimes Firefox 5 opens perfectly and sometimes it opens and stuff is missing from the toolbars and NOTHING appears on screen even though the address appears and it says done.

    I a running Vista 64 bit on a HP touchsmart relatively new computer. I have been using Firefox 3 and have had nothing but troubles since I downloaded 4. Finally got that to work and now that I have downloaded 5 sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes when I open it seems to load up another version and nothing appears in the screen area even though it says in the address bar it is at the home screen (or any other site I go to). If I completely close out Firefox and my AT&T communication Manager dial up modem and then reopen it will sometimes then open the proper version perfectly - any thoughts??

    Well since you asked, On my old system which I am still using, I experience
    the blank frame on a regular basis but usually only when I have about 20 or more instances open with more then 850 meg of memory in use by firefox 25.0.1, also it tends to crash when I approach a gig in memory usage. I never complained about that since that system is an older dual core that was in place upgraded from vista to win7 pro so it is a special case that may not be good for evaluation. I plan to move to the Lenovo as soon as I am confident it is stable then I will rack it out with similar usage
    and report any meaningful information.
    Thanks for asking.

  • HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

    Possible bug?  Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
    Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
    thanks

    I agree.
    I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
    Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
    I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
    So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
    And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
    What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
    And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
    merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
    My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
    My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
    I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
    running out of options it seems.
    Any idea on the best solution?
    Thank you!

  • Can't get transferred songs to appear on player even though they are in the right folder on new computer

    I have moved music from old computer to new one through externaI drive. They are in the proper folder for Itunes to find them (I did authorize the new computer) but they do not appear in the list when I call up nItunes. I did try to import them through the add fule to library, but it only seems to work one siong at a time. I want to add rhem all at one time.

    Was the ENTIRE iTunes folder copied, just the iTunes Media, or just the media files themselves?
    If properly moved, there should be no issue.
    Assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder was moved:
    Close iTunes.
    Hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.  Continue holding SHIFT until the locate or create a new library option is presented.
    Point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file, this will be the folder that was copied from the old computer.
    Everything in iTunes on the new coputer should be exactly as it was on the old computer.

  • Photos from Mac still appearing on iPhone, even though "sync photos from iPhoto" is unticked in iTunes?

    A colleague has all his Mac photos showing up on his iPhone, even though the "Sync with iPhoto" tickbox is unticked when he syncs it with iTunes. He has PhotoStream turned off. What else is possible to clear the photos off his iPhone please?

    Have him try putting the checkmark back in front of "Sync Photos From" on the Photos page of iTunes and change the selection of photos to be synced so that only one or two new photos is selected (and none of the existing ones) and then sync. If that removes the existing ones, then remove the checkmark and sync again.

  • Not all music appears in ipod even though memory used and in i-tunes

    How come all my latest music doesn't appear in my ipod. My itunes memory for all music and my ipod memory for music is both about same amount (4.7 gb) and i have no other downloads. It doesnt matter if I resync. I don't wont to have to reset the ipod and resync from scratch again.

    When you plug your ipod in a summary screen comes up in itunes for your ipod. Click on the music tab at the top of the summary screen, that is where itunes gets its information on what to sync or not to sync. What are the settings there set to?

  • Help!  Batch Capture Changes My Logged Clips' Media Start & Media End

    I'd be very grateful for any help on this.
    I log a tape with about 40 clips ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. I select the clips and start a batch capture. Everything appears to be capturing normally and I receive no error messages or dropped frame warnings - after my last clip is captured I get a "Successfully Captured" message.
    However, as soon as I click "Finished," all of my clip media start's, media end's, and durations in the log window arbitrarily change to weird times. All my media start points are 26 frames too early (I've tripple-checked that "Add Handles" is indeed deactivated), and the media end points make no sense at all.
    A clip that was once 44 seconds long is now only 12 seconds long, the media end point moved a whopping 34:03 too early. Another clip will become 2 seconds longer, the media start point still shifted back 26 frames, but with the media end now 31 frames too late. Checking the original files on my drive confirms that only these weird, unusable segments are what has been captured.
    What complicates things is that I just discovered today that if I capture locally to my internal hard disk, the clips capture normally (the times remain unchanged). But if I set my capture scratch to my external hard drive (a LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5 using Firewire-800), that's when the clips start changing themselves. I ran disk utility and found no errors on the drive, and have never had a problem with it or any part of my configuration until the last month or so... the only changes to my system being the regular use of Software Update.
    On top of that, my colleague is experiencing a similar problem with batch capture changing his clip times, even though he is using a different computer (single-processor G5), a different video deck (Sony DHR-1000), and a different storage medium (Apple Xserve RAID).
    So my question is: What is happening! The only thing I can think of is that perhaps some update has a bug - but I can't find anyone with a similar problem online.
    Any help on this would be extremely appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice.
    Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Deck: JVC CU-VH1 / Storage: LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5
    Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    Here's an update on this. Both my colleague and I have confirmed that if we capture to an internal or external drive that is not a RAID FCPro batch captures just fine.
    But, if the drive we are capturing to is a RAID (in my case a LaCie Biggest F800 and his case an Apple Xserve), then we get dropped frame reports and/or clip in's and out's changing after the batch capture is complete.
    We even tried reformatting one of the xServe's and rebuilding it as non-journaled, it didn't solve the problem.
    It seems impossible that we're the only ones to be experiencing this problem... does anybody have any help or suggestions!?

  • Error message when capturing......

    A very recent problem: during my last two capturing attempts the error message "dropped frames were detected during your last capturing attempt" has appeared. The tape then stops and the capture vanishes.
    This is very strange and has not happened previously. i have also noticed that the tape itself 'stops and starts' as a cd would if it was scratched... however when i play the tape back just on the dv cam there is no problem at all...
    Does anyone have an explanation? I have no clue and need to capture these tapes
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Timecode is like a heart beat when capturing. A nice steady rythym is required for best results. If a few beats are messed up you know about it.
    A Reset Timecode break is where you hit the record button on your camera to a part of the tape (past the last recorded TC) that has no continuous timecode on it. The camera thinks it's a new tape and the TC reads 00:00:00:00 and starts counting. If this happens you have two sets of identical numbers. That's going to make things confusing unless there is a workaround.
    Another type of break is called an Ordered break.
    This is where two numbers are duplicated, it's hard to find manually.
    How does it occur. It can happen if you review a tape and even though there is continuous code for the camera to Jam Sync and start reading it goofs up a bit and two numbers are the same, eg. 00:01:12:13 and 00:01:12:13 DV is prone to this sometimes but not always.
    FCE is really looking for 1, 2, 3, and so on, no breaks or duplications.
    Hope this was not confusing.

  • MDT Capture Task Sequence not working correctly

    Hello All<o:p></o:p>
    I need some help to tell me what I am doing wrong. I am using Hyper V and trying to capture a image of Windows 7 x64. From within the OS I run the
    Litetouch.wsf from the deployment share. I get the normal MDT Wizard windows. I pick my capture task sequence and everything looks like it is running fine sys prep happens and I but back into windows PE I start to process the rules again and I am taken
    back to the Select task sequence screen in WinPE.  If I pick the capture task sequence again the deployment fails. <o:p></o:p>

    (posting for anyone else that found this page, this was my fix)
    I had the same problem as the initial poster apart from what I wanted to capture was a 'real' pc.  The reason my 'capture' task sequence wasn't booting into WinPE from the local disk and continuing on with the capture was because the local disk was
    being wiped when the boot wim - LiteTouchPE_x64.wim, was being run. 
    A few weeks prior to me wanting to capture a PC I'd been working out how to stop the occasional error when you boot a PC off the WDS server - “The Task Sequence Has Been Suspended”.  I was particularly interested in stopping this error as I want to
    remotely start a Win7 install on a PC, this error would stop the install happening but I wouldn't see this error and end up visiting the PC only to find the install hadn't really started.  After googling around, I found a page that explains how to edit
    the unattend.xml file in the boot image - LiteTouchPE_x64.wim, in the xml file to run the command wscript.exe X:\Deploy\Scripts\LTICleanup.wsf.  Sounded good so I done what the page said (myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/archive/2010/10/20/microsoft-deployment-toolkit-lite-touch-lti-the-task-sequence-has-been-suspended.aspx)
    but it didn't stop the message appearing.  In the end I fixed this problem by adding the line 'SkipWizard=YES' in my customsettings.ini file.  I didn't remove the LTICleanup.wsf from unattend.xml, it didn't seem to do any harm, that was until I tried
    to capture a PC.
    When I ran though my 'sysprep and capture' task sequence, the PC would sysprep ok and then reboot, ready to capture it.  Instead of the 'capturing a WIM file' sequence I was expecting to see, I, like the original posted got shown the list of available
    task sequences window.  If you try again to run the capture sequence, it will fail as this has to be started in a running Windows environment, not in WinPE.  After several hours wondering what is going wrong, I dawned on me what was going wrong,
    the LTICleanup.wsf was being run when the boot image was being run and wiping my disk, a disk that was ready to run an existing task sequence, the capture sequence, no wonder it was failing.  Removing the LTICleanup.wsf command from within unattend.xml
    or rebuilding the boot image (by running 'Update Deployment Share' within MDT 2010) fixed the problem, the capture now worked.
    Hopefully this will help someone else like me who was wondering what was going wrong with a capture.
