Changing Resolution Settings Within Project

Hi Guys,
Ok, here's my problem.....
I have captured my footage at 1920 x 1080 25fps and 48Khz with my Canon DSLR and imported it into my FCP project. I deliberately created my sequence settings at 1280 x 720 25fps as this was to be the output format and when I added the 1920 footage to the timeline, FCP asks me nicely if I would like to change the sequence settings to match the footage - to which I politely decline (mistake, I know now...)
This had the effect of scaling down my 1920 footage to 1280, which was fine. The issue I now have is when I want to export it as a reference movie for DVD creation, it takes hours as the reference movie is taking the settings from the project, which is 1280 x 720 and my footage is still 1920, which means lots of re-rendering to do. Took me ages to figure out why the ref movies were taking so long to export!
So I have been trying to figure out a way to somehow change all of my completed timeline that consists of 1920 x 1080 footage downscaled to fit in my 1280 x 720 timeline back to full 1920. Still with me??
I have tried manually resizing the individual clips using their Motion tab (they are at 66.6% now as they are squeezed into a 1280 x 720 timeline) back to 100% which works, but leaves me with e green proxy render bar above the clip. The same happens when I copy and paste the footage into a fresh sequence set to match the clip at 1920 - green proxy render bar and loads of rendering time.
So if there is any way I can grab my completed, edited timeline and somehow revert it and the footage back to full 1920 resolution, it would save me a load of time in rendering and output!
Anyone any ideas??

Hi Tom,
Thanks for youe suggestion. I did just that an the only discrepancy I can see between the footage and sequence settings seems to be in the audio format. The sequence is 32 bit floating point whilst the footage is 16 bit integer.
I can's imagine this will be the problem as if I start a new project and use the full 1980 clips, I can export reference files no problem.

Change Resolution of Premiere Project?

I've been editing a project at a draft resolution of 864x486. . The final res is going to be higher.
In the video settings for a given sequence, the resolution is not editable, nor do I see way to change res in the project settings.
Is there a way to change the res of my current project?
Thanks much.

There is no draft resolution presets in premiere. There is only the dynamic preview quality settings that can be adjusted in the source and program monitor.
You can copy all of your clips and paste them into a sequence that is the proper size, then make adjustments to individual media assets accordingly. Or you can drop your "draft sequence" in a proper format sequence and see what happens, it won't be good I'm afraid.

Changing resolution settings in OfficeJet

Hi everyone.
I'm scanning a few old family pictures, size is approximately 5x3 inch.
The scanned picture I get is very small, 900x600 give or take.
I need to print those pictures in a photobook and this size is way too small.
Is there a way to get bigger pictures?
I tried to increase the resolution, up to 9600, but the result is the same.
Thank you.

Changing resolution of a project?

In my ignorance I think I set up a project at 720 P wide. Files are appropriate for larger output, and I'd like to do it at 1920. Can I do this after the fact?
Thanks

Yes, you can... can't change frame rate, but can change frame size. After you change the size, you might want to match frame each shot and perform a replace edit on each (it's easy and fast to do so unless you've added a bunch of filters). Doing this insures that the sequence matches the source material's properties exactly.

Changing resolution settings

I have film that is 1920x1080 and is very good quality. I don't want people to only be able to play this in a hd player, but I want to preserve the quality. I have 8.5gb discs (enough to accommodate the film 7.5gb). When I set the settings to sd however, you can only choose one resolution setting. I want this to look good on a 40 inch screen and don't want to lose quality. When I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro, it comes up with a meesage "incompatible format" or "file type not supported". HELP!
thanks

You are best off using Compressor or other encoder to compress to SD m2v format and make the audio AC3 (saves space/bandwidth)
Take a look here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php
and here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/qc.php
for more info to start on how to calculate rates and set up Compressor (also bitVice -www.innobits.se and MegaPEG.X Pro -Digigami - www.Digigam.comi are two other encoders/companies to look at for encoders that run natively on the Mac that do a good job)

Can I change a Projects Settings after project completed?

I have a query regarding project settings. I have completed a project using video and still images but have realised afterwards that I should have set it up initially as PAL-DV Standard instead of PAL-DV Widescreen. Is there a way that I can go back and change the settings now or do I have to start over and re-do all of my importing again? Is there a way that I can change the output to disc to compensate? In the "Share" option I have tried outputting to DVD using Standard and Widescreen options but I still think the ratios look wrong.
Also, if this is not possible, is it possible to export the entire movie into a new project that has the correct settings that can still be edited and malipulated in the new project?
Any info greatly appreciated before I tackle this whole project again. I am running PE4.
Thanks, Rachel

Rachel,
Unfortunately, PrE does not make this easy. In PrPro, one could just create a New Sequence with the proper settings, then do a Ctrl+A (Select All) for the faulted Sequcne, Ctrl+C (Copy), select the new Sequence, Target the Tracks, set the CTI to 00;00;00;00, then do Ctrl+V (Paste). Done.
There is a Clipboard extender, Clipmate, that gets good reviews here. I have not used it, but others have. It allows one to do the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V into a new Project, with the proper settings. This would be how I would approach things.
Some users have had good fortune hacking the PREL (Project) file, which is basically just an XML database with links and XML instructions. If one were to do this, I would first strongly recommend only working with a Copy of the PREL. Then, set up a New Project, with the proper settings, and use that as my "template" to make changes to the XML, as it will have the proper formatting. I'd keep both PREL files open, and go line by line, knowing that the PREL form your Project (that Copy), will have all the links and instructions.
Good luck,
Hunt

TS3899 Help! I cannot access my settings and facebook settings within 'Settings'. This means I cannot change passwords, delete or add email accounts. I've tried updating and restoring my phone but to no avail. Can anyone help me please?

Can anyone help please? I cannot access my email account settings within 'Settings', so I cannot change my details for existing email accounts, nor can I delete them or add others.
I can't access my Facebook settings within 'Settings' either but when I try to use the app it asks me to enter my password into my Facebook account in settings, but I can't do that either.
I've updated my software, restored and backed up my phone but it still doesn't work. Troubleshooting doesn't cover this.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Do you have restrictions on? If so, that would prevent you from making changes in some areas of the iPhone.

Change grub resolution from within grub console

Hello!
I'm looking for a way to change the grub resolution from within the grub console. Note, that I am not looking for a way to change the grub resolution in the config files!
This is why I'm asking: my laptop stopped booting whenever the grub resolution is not set to 800x600x32. This is very strange and I do not know the reason for this issue. It hasn't been a problem so far, because I'm just using the config file to set the resolution to 800x600x32.
Now I'm trying to reinstall, but the live discs won't boot since the resolution of grub is not 800x600x32. I tried dropping to console and typing
set gfxmode=800x600x32
set gfxpayload=keep
load_video
insmod gfxterm
but nothing happens.
So the question is: Is there any way to change the resolution of grub from its own console? Or is there a way to manipulate the live images before burning them in order to start grub with the desired resolution?
Thanks so much!

Did you add
terminal_output gfxterm
at the end. Although I doubt whether that will change the currently set menu resolution.

You may want to checkout grub-emu (available in grub-bzr aur pkg, not in core/grub). It emulates a grub menu from which you can test all graphics related stuff. I haven't tried it myself though.

Mac Mini and LCD TV, changed resolution and now cannot use the screen anymo

hello,
I have a Mac Mini and and LCD TV which is connected via HDMI cable. I was playing around with the resolution settings (not very smart in hindsight) and managed to select a resolution that my TV does not support. I do not have another monitor or Macbook. Is there anything I can do to reset the resolution settings? I tried to reset the PRAM, but that didnt seem to solve the problem. I also tried starting in Safe mode but that didnt do the trick either.
Appreciate your help!

Arie, it may be possible to get to System Preferences via the keyboard. But you have to be sure the Finder is the foreground application. Is your Mac set to boot straight into your account or does it pause waiting for a password? If it boots straight into a user account, you can try the following procedure:
\- Restart the Mac (It should be hooked up to the misbehaving display in case that's not clear)
\- When it is done booting, type Cmd-Tab and then Cmd-Q. Do this several times. (Cmd-tab will step the Mac through all the programs that might be running. Cmd-Q quits them. Doing this several times ensures that only the Finder is running since the Finder can't be quit. This is important for the next step)
\- Type Shift-Cmd-a (This should open the Applications folder)
\- Type "sys" quickly (System Preferences within the Applications folder should now be highlighted)
\- Type Cmd-o (This should open System Preferences)
\- Type out the word "screen settings" completely (This should cause Displays to be highlighted in the System Preferences main panel)
\- Hit the Return key (This should open Display Preferences)
\- Hit the Return key again (This will clear any alert box that may have popped up)
\- Hit the Tab key once (This will shift the keyboard focus to the resolutions list)
\- Now start using the up (or down) arrow on the keyboard one press at a time. Each press of the arrow key moves to the next resolution in the list. Wait at least five seconds between arrow key presses for the resolution change to take effect. Hopefully, at some point, the monitor will light up with a stable image and you are back in business.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

Imported mpeg videos change resolution.

I am importing mpeg videos to the project on PP 7.2.1 (4) under Windows 7 and they seem to change resolution and aspect ratio. Not sure if there is a setting that can be changed to override the aspect ratio and resolution when importing videos to the project ? Otherwise the video plays fine despite looking a little bit strange with this new aspect ratio of 1.1851.
The original video stream is (according to mediainfo):
Format                                   : MPEG Video
Format version                           : Version 2
Format profile                           : Main@Main
Format settings, BVOP                    : Yes
Format settings, Matrix                  : Custom
Format settings, GOP                     : M=3, N=15
Duration                                 : 44s 478ms
Bit rate mode                            : Variable
Bit rate                                 : 9 071 Kbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 8 900 Kbps
Width                                    : 720 pixels
Height                                   : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Standard                                 : NTSC
After importing it to the project the properties are:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
Does anybody know if this can be corrected somehow?
Thank you

Thank you - I went through the tutorials and I think I am running into a different issue (at least this is how ti looks).
The original video when opened in source monitor (before importing it into the project) shows properties of:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
and this is before importing it to the project just opening it in the monitor. Not sure what to think of it the video shows everywhere as 720*460 (16:9), when I click properties in windows in various media players and in MediaInfo but for some reason PP sees it as 540*480 (1:1851).
Thank you

Changing Render Settings

If I change my render settings to lower resolution and frame rate in order to speed the time lost while waiting for things to render, then I edit the sequence in that lower resolution render, how do I go back later on in the same sequence and make it render at full resolution?
I changed render settings and then rendered, but when I go back and change the sequence render settings back to full resolution, the clips rendered in the lower resolution remain as lower resolution. The clips don't suddenly un-render, for example, requiring that they be re-rendered at the new higher resolution settings.
FCP 4.5

Use Render manager and trash all of the appropriate project renders, then re-render with the new settings.

Changing resolutions in FCP X and how to go about resizing clips that get sized down.

Hey all! After changing an FCP X project resolution from 760 x 480 to 1080 x 720 (I think those were the dimensions; I am not right in front my project right now to check; basically, from SD to HD), how do you go about resizing clips that now appear smaller within the frame? In my case, I have a cutaway clip that is now appearing at a very small size scale in the middle of the frame, and the clip from which it is supposed to cut away is visible in the background. The strange thing is--this clip does not appear to have a problem when I am viewing it in the FCP X project. It does, however, become smaller when the project is uploaded to YouTube. Please help, I'm trying to finish this project by tomorrow, and this is LITERALLY the only thing that is holding me back!!

The original footage was shot in 1080p, and I didn't realize that I wasn't working in an HD resolution on FCP X until I tried to upload the project to YouTube. Not trying to change SD clips to HD; trying to work in an HD resolution with 1080p footage. I hope that makes sense...
I will have to wait until tomorrow to post the exact media specs...as I said, I am not in front of the project right now and do not have access to it from my home computer.
When I say "cutaway clip," I mean a video clip that is layered over an interview clip, and plays while you can still hear the interview narration (see photo below). From what I've read so far, I agree in that I think the frame is letter-boxed/pillar-boxed, which I believe can be adjusted in the "Spatial Conform" section of the Inspector. Just wanted to make sure this was correct.
Below you will see a screen shot of what this clip looks like on YouTube. Basically, in FCP X, it is appearing at 100% in terms of size scale, and the clip behind it is not visible.

Do I need to change any settings to connect my mac book pro to my tv?

Do I need to change any settings on my mac book pro to connect to my tv

Almost certainly, yes. Did you want to know which settings?
Exactly what settings you would need to change, where, and to what would depend on many factors, including at least the following:
* what model MBP you have (which will tell us the connector available),
* what version of Mac OS X it runs (which will tell us the settings available),
* what sort of TV you have (resolution, what connectors it offers, how they are switched, etc.),
* what connecting facilities you have (like wires or an AppleTV),
* how you want to use the TV (primary screen, secondary screen, mirror screen, sole screen),
* whether you want to play audio through the TV,
and even
* where the TV is located with respect to the MBP.
Simple case: New enough MBP to have HDMI output, running a recent OS X, TV new enough to have an available HDMI input, an HDMI cable on hand, using the TV as a secondary screen, and you don't care about how the screen positions relate or where the audio plays. You might be able to get away with default settings on the computer, but you'll still probably have to switch the TV to the HDMI input, and you'll have to drag windows onto the new screen.

External Monitor changing resolutions on Macbook

I have seen several people ask this question, but I haven't found a suitable answer. I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 at school. I teach and move from room to room hooking up to different projectors and monitors. The set up is just very unstable. Despite its supposed ability to remember settings, it rarely does and the resolutions are messed up as well as the display callibrations. I have an external monitor on my desk. Yesterday, I set the resolution to the native 1280x1024, when I plugged back in, it was back to 1024x768. For some reason, the higher resolution wasn't even appearing on the list until I fiddled with it.
Why is this so buggy on this MacBook running this OS? Is there a way to force it to remember display settings better? Any tips?
I know that other teachers have more problems than I do because they don't even know how to change resolutions or anything like that.
Thanks for any tips, tricks or helpful comments.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
