Changing Sequence Settings for HD

Hi Gang
Working with FC6
I work mostly with Standard Def, but I have a few pieces/clips of HD.
If I change the Sequence Settings here, as prompted, will ALL the sequence settings also be changed to exisiting Projects which contain mostly Standard Def?
The plan is to integrate a few pieces of HD footage to other standard footage in the same timeline.
Thanx
Mike

"I understand you have a DV timeline already setup"
Yes
"when you bring in an HD shot FCP should automatically resize and letterbox it (if you are in a 4:3 timeline) No prompts."
Actually initially there is a warning/prompt to reset settings; http://www.locationstudio.net/Sequence%20Settings.jpg
I will say NO to this prompt, edit the clip, drag it down, and resize manually 120%, (I don't use wide screen format).
Thanx
Mike

How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
Thank you!

Hi Paolon!
You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

Downconverting HD to SD: Change Sequence Settings or. Motion Tab ???

I'm working with 1080i DVCPro HD footage, which am editing in HD. The client wants me to deliver the project file with HD and SD sequences (with identical cuts) but SD Quicktime renders.
So the HD sequences are easy ... under Sequence Settings I have these specs, which allow me to edit the footage without having to render:
Frame Size 1280x 1080, Aspect Ratio HD (1280x1080)(16x9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1280x1080) - Ananmorphic NOT checked
Field Dominance: Upper (odd)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: DVCPro HD 1080i60
SO ... the best way to downconvert to SD ... I'm figuring copying the HD sequences after the edits are done, and then changing Sequence Settings to these specs:
Frame Size: 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 DV (720x480) - Anamorphic NOT checked
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: DV/DVCPro NTSC
I'm not delivering Anamorphic; the SD renders will have letterboxing. BUT unless I tweek the footage's Motion settings, it still looks distorted. The footage looks the most normal after shrinking the Scale to 60% of original, and changing the Aspect Ratio to -60.
But I'm just eye-balling things ... is there a precise rule for downconverting this HD format to standard SD ?

Umm well OK I found the Advanced Format Conversion option in Compressor, and am testing that out now.
But for academics, let's just say I want to convert the sequences also ... as in, exporting normal SD Quicktimes directly from FCP's sequence without using compressor ... which Sequence Settings and Motion Settings would I change?

I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone. Txt msg is disabled on iPad. I have no idea what to do. I called the support line that I Pay $9.99 a month for. They told me to delete my iTunes account. Will I lose all my pics on my ipad? I have no music download. I'm getting ****** at this whole thing. And it allllllll started with apples update to the ios7.... I HATED IT. Help.

What your iPhone using friends label your phone number in their contacts is irrelevant. I don't know who you pay $9.99 a month to but it's not Apple. You can't disable text messaging on your iPad as it is not capable of SMS.
Do you still have the iPhone? If so, log out of iMessage on the iPhone.

HELP !!! can i change page-settings for a single page ??

hi all,
i´ve got a problem with my document settings:
can i change the settings (especially the documentborders) for a single page, without changing the settings for the whole other document pages ?
for example: page 1 --> border left 2cm , right 1cm
page 2 --> border left 4cm , right 1cm
PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Hello mamamague
All you need to do is select Insert->Section Break. A new page will be started. To adjust the margins you need to select the Layout Inspector (second icon on the top of the inspector) and adjust the margins in there. The Document Inspector still makes global changes and the layout ones are relative to them. It helps to turn Show Layout and Show Invisibles on so you can see what's happening to the document format as you play with these settings.
Good luck!

How can I change the settings for being timed out (I don't want to be timed out ever)

How can I change the settings for being timed out (I don't want to be timed out ever)?

I am sorry but this isn't something that you can set. The system has timeouts built into the code.

Sequence settings for HD

what are the exact sequence settings for cutting 1080i60 footage in FCP? From my understanding; it's 1920 X 1080 with 59.94fps. But what fields should render first; upper or lower? I also need to know this info for using After Effects; I need to know the specifications so I can render my animations.
If there is anything else I should know, please let me know. thanks.

Open your preset in FCP or check your sequence settings and all that information will be there.

Sequence settings for 16:9

Hi,
Just doing some PAL tests of 16:9 HD to 16:9 SD downconvert.
What are the sequence settings for this?
If I use the normal DV PAL 48khz, the VIEWER window shows a normal 16:0 ratio, but the CANVAS window shows a letterboxed 4:3 window. When I export this project, I get a letterboxed 4:3.
If I need to give my European client a 16:9 SD project, what are the sequence settings.
Thank you kindly!

Thanks Michael,
I still get images in FCP and QT exports that are letterboxed. Is that normal? I guess I assumed 16:9 FCP project windows and QT export movies would be all image and no letterbox within a 4:3 window.

Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
Thank you,
-Matt

>When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same

Constant "you have changed the settings for the iphone" in iTunes

On my iPhone 4, I can sync my phone with no issues, and when the sync is done and I switch over to the iTunes store or my library, it always pops up with "You have changed the settings for the iphone "my iPhone". Would you like to apply these settings?"
I can hit apply, go to something different, come back, do nothing but sync my phone again, and as soon as I switch back to something else, I get the message again...
I didn't change anything, but it keeps saying I have?

Wow...
That is pretty bad...
From what I've gathered. There has been an increasing number of issues ever since iTunes 9 and more problems with iOS4 for the non iPhone 4 users.
It's such a shame because I used to actually comment on how iTunes worked seamlessly and so quickly. This actually feels as if I'm running a typical bloated windows software now. [And to my great surprise, an equal number of people using iTunes on MacOS have given the same kind of feedback. I originally thought it was restricted to just windows users.]

Change view "Settings for Infosets": Details

Hi,
I would like to know why there is a value of 100 under the heading Settings for Infosets in BW when you go to the 'Change view "Settings for Infosets": Details' screen. What does it mean and what value must I input there?
Your assistance is urgently required
Thanks,

Hi Josef I'm not entirely with you on this one.
When I look on the device Apple TV in iTunes, everything I have streamed to apple TV from iTunes is grayed out but when looking at the photos tab which I have synced is not grayed allowing me to change whatever I want to sync. Is this different to yours? or I'm I misunderstanding your point.
