Choosing resolution for a sequence

I just finished shooting a video of my computer screen (which resulted in a movie sized 1920x1040)
I wanted to use premiere to add blur and other effects (I know how).
I just wanted to know what size should my sequence be so after I export it, my movie won't have black strips. It will be on the entire screen.

  • C7 breaks down after choosing the resolution for a new project

    Hello Community,
    finally I succeeded in installing C7 on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9. But it breaks down every time after I choose the resolution for my project. The beachball appears for one second and then C7 breaks down.
    On the same MacBook I can open C7 on another account. But I want to use C7 on my account.
    Has anybody expereienced the same problems?
    Has anybody a solution for my problem?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Hi there,
    can you please try deleting preferences by using the "CleanPreferencesMac" present in the Captivate installation location/Ultils folder, relaunch Captivate and see it resolves the issue or not.

  • Project Settings vs. Encoding and Encore Resolution for BR

    I am editing HDV footage from a Canon HV20.  When I setup my project in Pr Pro I used the recommended
    default HDV project settings.  Hopefully these are correct.  I will be burning a Blu-Ray disc for the project.
    I assume like other products I have used, the best answer here is the native resolution of your source which hopefully is what I am getting.
    Now when I render it via media encoder, it asks me for the "frame size"/resolution for the Blu-Ray disc output.
    Also when opening a new project in Encore, it asks for similar information.  I am in NTSC land.
    I am familiar with the HD standard and resolutions, and the end result of this project is a Blu-Ray disc played on HDTV's.
    However what is the best media encoder resolutoin and encore "frame size" settings for a Blu-Ray disc with an HDV source?
    I saw several articles and videos from Adobe about these settings and they explain what they are, but not what the recommended selections are.
    As a sidenote, once you are working on a project in PP can you change the settings/resolution of the project?
    Thanks,

    PS...Did not know which forum to post this in as it straddles all 3 products!!

    First, thanks to both of you for your help!  Hmmm, I am sure the confusion is on my end....
    Both of you recommend H.264 vs. MPEG 2 for encoding.  If I am rendering a 1 hour 20 minute Blu-ray, for burning Blu-Rays that I need to paly on a white variety of standalone players, what is the better choice and whay?  I was planning on burning to single layer Blu-Ray at best quality. I am also using 5.1 audio.
    For the encoder, I was going to use "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" as my rendering preset with MPEG2.
    However now I am wondering if I should be using H.264?  Harm, you mention it and you also mention "square pixels".  I am familiar with this concept due to my photography work and slide shows vs. video, but where is this "square pixel" setting in the media encoder??
    Anna, I appreciate your comment regarding keeping it simple, however, although I am far from a PPro expert, I definitely am into Home Video and understand quality and resolutions, etc., so I want to get the best quality even if I have to do a little work.. So I'll get there.   I see that clicking on that menu item allows you to choose maximum render quality.  I have plenty of RAM but since I am not going SD to HD or SD to HD, perhaps it won't matter much.  However I am confused by the resolution you are showing there, 1440x1080?
    As far as my initial question regarding how to setup my encore project, I may have answered it myself by playing around with the media encoder box.  I opened up the drop down advanced section and I see it presents the frame dimensions there.  I would assume I would use the exact same frame dimensions in Encore when setting up my project.
    So I guess at this point my only decisions are:
    1) What codec should I use when exporting from PPro?  h.264 or MPEG-2.  If it matters, I am using 5.1 audio also.  (thanks for all your help with that Harm months ago, it works great!).
    2)  What resolution to use in media encoder?
    3)  How do I set square pixels?
    4) Once exported, in Encore, is my assumption correct that I will just use the same resolution as exported from P Pro.
    Perhaps that is what Anna was recommending, keep the same resolution and then let Encore render to 1920X1080 however I would want to get all my rendering out of the way during the export process and just keep it all the same in Encore if that is a good workflow.
    Thanks again for all the help!

  • Display resolution for 2014 MBP?

    How do you adjust the display resolution to the "native" 2880 x 1800 on a mid 2014, 15 inch rMBP with NVIDIA Graphics?
    I can not obtain a resolution above 1920 x1200.

    Hello there, pf2555.
    When adjusting resolution for your MacBook Pro Retina, the following Knowledge Base article offers some information on that regard:
    Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display - Apple Support
    How do I adjust the resolution of my Retina display?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 and later) displays have a 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 and later) displays have a 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
    iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) displays have a 5120-by-2880 native resolution with support for millions of colors.
    If you need to adjust the display resolution, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. The Retina display offers scaled resolutions that allow you to have text and objects appear larger on screen, or to make them appear smaller which provides more space on screen.  Note: Scaled resolutions do not offer the same visual quality as the Retina setting. Scaled resolutions may also impact graphics performance depending on which applications you are using.
    MacBook Pro with Retina display (13-inch) scaled resolution choices
    MacBook Pro with Retina display (15-inch) scaled resolution choices
    iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) scaled resolution choices
    Retina displays only use scaled resolutions rather than specific resolution settings like external displays. If you need to use a different resolution than those available on the built-in display, consider attaching an external display via HDMI or Thunderbolt.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How do you determine resolution for a given print size in LR?

    CS3 displays image resolution for a given size. How do you determine what that resolution is in LR for a given print size, so you know whether you should upsize or downsize for optimum print resolution range?

    The only way I know of is to work it out. LR and PS make assumptions that are often not ideal (although the differences may not be noticable). Different printers like different resolutions per inch. For example, I once had an Olympus Dye Sub printer that produced awful prints unless the file was exactly 314 ppi. Not 300, 314. 300ppi looked awful. 314 looked amazing. Many Canon inkjets prefer 300ppi files and most of the better Epson's prefer 360ppi. Lambda printer like 400ppi files.
    So find out what the printer likes, and in LR enter that number into the printer dialog. I believe the LR engine interpolates the file based on this and the image size on paper you choose to produce a file of the best size.
    Having said all that with most modern domestic and prosumer inkjets the difference is pretty negligable.

  • How to control Color Mode and Resolution for brochure creation?

    Hello guys,
    I am trying to find some settings within Pages, where I could set CMYK color mode and 300 dpi resolution for my pdf file.
    I am creating brochure from scratch, using blank document, because non of brochure templates work for what I need. But I can't find any controls for color mode and resolution set up.
    Is there any solution for this?

    There has been a lot of discussion in the Pages forum about resolution and some on CMYK.
    Much of the discussion has been incorrect.
    For the colour handling there is the colour palette
    The Apple Colour Palette is the user interface for colour managing vector objects created in Apple Pages such as rules and panels and for colour managing one class of vector objects not created in Apple Pages, namely typographic objects.
    Imported objects maintain their colourant model and colour space, if there is one. If there is none, a colour space is assigned and the assigned colour space is saved out into the PDF, opposite e.g. Adobe Photoshop which will colour manage the object in the open editing session, but will then save out the object to disk without the assigned ICC profile if 'Colour Management: Off' is configured.
    Therefore, if the imported object is data space CMYK and the colour space device CMYK, the system will assign the Generic CMYK Profile which is equivalent to ANSI CGATS TR001 colourimetry (US SWOP); if the imported object is data space RGB and the colour space is device RGB, the system will assign the Generic RGB Profile which is equivalent to sRGB colourimetry in OS X 10.5 and higher.
    In general, always capture and then convert for correction in one of two data spaces with three channels, either ICC colour managed RGB or ICC CIELa*b D50. Then convert to CMYK1, CMYK2, CMYK3, CMYKn from the ICC colour space chosen for correction and archiving. This colour space should be large enough to hold any colours that the output colour spaces can hold.
    The Apple ColorSync Utility has a gamut comparison dialogue which is 3D (point, press, and turn the 3D gamut comparison). Use this facility to pick an ICC colour space of reasonable size and shape for correction and conversion into final output. Don't pick sRGB as a quick look will show that it can't hold as input what ISO reference offset can hold as output for pure cyan, let alone hold what a big inkjet can hold in greens, blues, reds and yellows.
    The ICC architecture lets the ICC profile for the printed output match out of gamut colours to in gamut colours using the Perceptual rendering intent, as intended in the original architecture from 1995. Adobe internally introduced an inhouse conversion for compatibility with PostScript and as default for PDF, Relative Colorimetric with Adobe Black Point Compension. Relative Colorimetric is in fact a proofing transform, without gamut mapping. Black Point Compensation is a simple linear scaling of the lightness to compensate for the fact that the shadows will be clipped in a Relative Colorimetric conversion.
    The other problem is transparency, introduced in the QuickDraw Graphics Extension for Mac OS 7.5. Transparency is not supported in any version of Adobe PostScript (level 1, level 2 or level 3). Transparency is also not supported in any version of Adobe PDF prior to version 1.4 and higher. Therefore, unless the RIP Raster Image Processor is able to accept PDF 1.4 and higher, transparency has to be rendered / flattened which is done in the PDF/X-3 filter of the Apple ColorSync Utility.
    The idea in the PDF/X-3 filter (for Adobe PDF 1.3) is that the everyday enduser, after placing ICC colour managed RGB or CIE La*b D50 objects, and after choosing an ICC colour space for objects created in Pages, chooses the ICC colour space for the output condition. The filter accepts both ICC profiles of type MNTR Monitor with data space RGB, ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data space RGB, and ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data sapce CMYK.
    The colourant conversion (RGB to CMYK) and the gamut mapping (out of gamut colours in input colour spaces mapped to in gamut colours in output colour space) is then calculated as per the ICC profile for the output condition. An output condition is the combination of factors that affect how colour is formed: the colour lightness and colour tint of the paper, the colours of the colourants, and the tone value increase. Think of gamut mapping in a good ICC profile as Format 1 kerning in a TrueType font (where your font has state-based kerning for up to 8 glyphs simultaneously).
    Below a link to a discussion of how to change the default PDF/X-3 filter the Apple ColorSync Utility. "Wegen diverser Fehler im Mac OS X empfiehlt es sich, wo immer möglich, die PDFs ohne Transparenzreduktion (also auf normalem Weg) über den Befehl Als PDF sichern zu erstellen und das Flattening der Druckerei zu überlassen," that is, pick the plain save as PDF path and leave the transparency flattening to the prepress technician.

  • What are some best practices for Effective Sequences on the PS job record?

    Hello all,
    I am currently working on an implementation of PeopleSoft 9.0, and our team has come up against a debate about how to handle effective sequences on the job record. We want to fully grasp and figure out what is the best way to leverage this feature from a functional point of view. I consider it to be a process-related topic, and that we should establish rules for the sequence in which multiple actions are inserted into the job record with a same effective date. I think we then have to train our HR and Payroll staff on how to correctly sequence these transactions.
    My questions therefore are as follows:
    1. Do you agree with how I see it? If not, why, and what is a better way to look at it?
    2. Is there any way PeopleSoft can be leveraged to automate the sequencing of actions if we establish a rule base?
    3. Are there best practice examples or default behavior in PeopleSoft for how we ought to set up our rules about effective sequencing?
    All input is appreciated. Thanks!

    As you probably know by now, many PeopleSoft configuration/data (not transaction) tables are effective dated. This allows you to associate a dated transaction on one day with a specific configuration description, etc for that date and a different configuration description, etc on a different transaction with a different date. Effective dates are part of the key structure of effective dated configuration data. Because effective date is usually the last part of the key structure, it is not possible to maintain history for effective dated values when data for those configuration values changes multiple times in the same day. This is where effective sequences enter the scene. Effective sequences allow you to maintain history regarding changes in configuration data when there are multiple changes in a single day. You don't really choose how to handle effective sequencing. If you have multiple changes to a single setup/configuration record on a single day and that record has an effective sequence, then your only decision is whether or not to maintain that history by adding a new effective sequenced row or updating the existing row. Logic within the PeopleSoft delivered application will either use the last effective sequence for a given day, or the sequence that is stored on the transaction. The value used by the transaction depends on whether the transaction also stores the effective sequence. You don't have to make any implementation design decisions to make this happen. You also don't determine what values or how to sequence transactions. Sequencing is automatic. Each new row for a given effective date gets the next available sequence number. If there is only one row for an effective date, then that transaction will have a sequence number of 0 (zero).

  • Optimum Screen Resolution for Slides

    I need to create a few slides which will be displayed full-screen. Since
    there's no way to know the resolution of the monitors of the many
    participants, how do I choose the resolution of my slides? Are they
    downsampled in any way by the Adobe server when I upload them? My screen
    resolution is 1920 x 1200 but I suspect a slide built to that resolution
    would create problems for viewers on smaller monitors. Am I right? Is
    there an optimum screen resolution for slides viewed during a Connect Pro
    session?

    Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 or you can pay for an upgrade  to 1680 x 1050(current models).

  • Reducing resolution for web use

    dear all,
    i'm just learning some basic 2d (i work mainly in 3d) and am in the middle of reducing/cropping some of my images so that they fit neatly on a web page. i have a couple of questions:
    1. when i reduce (resample) an image, in the resample dialogue there is no easy way to just reduce by a given multiplier (e.g. 0.5) and at the same time, see what the resulting size will be.
    for example - i have an image that is 2592*1944 pixels. i would like to be able to enter a multiplier and see what the resulting resolution would be /before/ i commit to the new size. this is possible in a very old version of corel photopaint that i have and so my first question is can this be done in photoshop or do i have to resize elsewhere?
    2. should i only reduce by certain multipliers or is any value ok? i searched and read a few posts on this but didn't find anything conclusive for reductions.
    e.g. i have an image 2592 * 1944 and need to reduce to 600*450. i want the resampled image to look as good as it can. should i reduce by the nearest available mult and then crop the rest or is it safe to just crop straight to the required resolution (assuming that the aspect ratio remains the same)?
    3. final question - if i use the crop tool and specify the resolution, i can scale the cropping area and whatever area i choose will be cropped to the required size. very good if the answer to question 2 is 'YES, you can reduce directly to required resolution'.
    however, is it possible for the crop tool to work like this: i set my resolution for the crop tool. now i can see the cropping area on the image. the crop area is exactly the res that i specified and will crop the image without resampling?
    hope that makes sense.
    TIA

    how did i miss that?!
    thanks guys - that helps a lot.
    in general though, would you say it's ok to reduce by any fraction or should i stick to halves/quaters/tenths etc.
    also, any way to set a crop resolution (say 400 x 300) and then choose which part of the image you want to keep WITHOUT resampling - the crop tool seems to fix the aspect ratio which is great but will then resample the chosen area.

  • Why did Apple choose 1334x750 for the iPhone 6?

    I'm not just an iOS user, I'm also a developer who's thinking about developing for iOS, and I'm wondering what the benefits/detriments of Apple choosing 1334x750 as the resolution for the iPhone 6. It's such a bizarre resolution; I've never seen it anywhere. It seems to make more sense to use 1280x720, which is normal HD.
    Question from a user's perspective: Does this make application content fuzzy, scale wrong, misalign, or anything else like that?
    Question from a developer's perspective: Is it difficult programming for this resolution, or does Apple naturally scale/interpolate graphics regardless of the app's output resolution(s)?

    Anyone here who actually knows is either an Apple employee, or has signed an NDA. Anyone other than these types of people would be guessing.
    Apple employees who visit the forum are not permitted to identify themselves as such, and are just users (except for Community Specialists, but they are a separate subject that doesn't affect this thread).
    If I were to guess I'd say the pixel pitch is fixed for the Retina display material, and that's the number of pixels that fit at that pitch in a screen the size of the iPhone 6. Doing the math compared to an iPhone 5 series it makes logical sense. Did you notice that the 6 Plus is 1920 x 1080 and has a different pitch from all of the other Retina display iPhones?
    To answer the other question you asked, I have never noticed fuzziness or aliasing on any iPhone display.

  • Best Resolution for an iPad using Captivate 7

    I'm using Captivate 7 and choose the preset iPad landscape resolution for the project.  The Captivate manual states to use the preset iPad sizes to yield the best results.  However, the module is too big for the iPad screen.  I found an older posting that recommended using 980 X 660 for an iPad and provided this link as a general resolution resource.  Before I continue to build more modules, can anyone share some advice?  Are there different size iPad screens that are causing this issue?  I'm I missing something obvious?
    Thanks.

    Hi Dee Gee,
        The best ipad lanscape project size : 1024 X 627  (with CpPlaybarMobile)
        The best ipad Potrait project size : 768 X 883  (with CpPlaybarMobile)
    For example
    Captivate Project dimensions in  landscape mode width = 1024
    Captivate Project dimensions in  landscape mode height = View Port size of the ipad in landscape mode - Playbar size (we suggest to use CpPlaybarMobile, whose height is 45 pixels) - space occupied by navigation bar+ browser bar(96)
    Captivate project dimension height = 768 - 45 -96 = 627

  • Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

    Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

    meghanica wrote:
    I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
    You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
    DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
    There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
    http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
    You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
    Some things to consider…
    DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
    Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
    You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
    It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
    Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
    I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
    You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
    See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
    http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
    Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
    I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

  • How to enable widescreen resolution for external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hi
    I have got a Equium A60 with a ATI Radion Mobility 7000 grahpics chip in it. A short while ago the LCD died and decided to use a external monitor instead of replacing it. However, the external monitor is a 22" widescreen monitor which the computer does not provide a suitable display resolution for. Is there any way of updating the graphics card driver to provide widescreen formats. I have looked on the toshiba updates but there is nothing any newer on there and ATI are unwilling to offere support on a laptop.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi
    You cannot choose your favorite resolution because the graphic driver does not support it.
    Possibly the 3rd party driver would support your favorite display resolution but to be honest I would not use such drivers because it could cause some serious notebook troubles.
    The point is that such 3rd party drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore the usage is only at your own risk.

  • Setting resolution for viewing TV and movies on HDTV?

    Last night I played around with watching Apple TV through iTunes using my MacBook Pro and 1080p TV. Conncection is made via a DVI to HDMI cable, with a separate mini-plug to RCA cable from the headphone output for audio. I can open Preferences on the Mac and set the resolution for the TV, but there is no 1080 option (1920 X 1080). The video card should support external monitor resolutions up to 2560 by 1600 pixels but I only see resolution options (for both the built in and HDTV) up to 1440 by 900 (native for the Mac's display).
    The TV is recognized by the Mac, but the resolutions available are identical between the two, and changing resolution on one changes it on both.
    Suggestions on which resolution to use? Or how to "unlock" the higher resolutions to get to 1920 by 1080?
    Thanks!

  • Camera resolution for NetStream. Please help.

    I'm developing a videochat app that should work on different network speeds. The idea was to switch to lower resolution if by some criteria delay becomes too noticable (say, delay is 2 seconds, or dropped videoMessage packet ratio is more than 20%). Or if on the other hand user has fast network connection then app should increase the resolution and thus providing better video image quality.
    The problem: I can  not find anyone done this before, thus I am comming to the conclusions that I'm doing something wrong here.
    Is it possible that RTMFP is lowering the video image quality automatically when ever it thinks that delay is too huge? If this is the case, than should I set the video resolution for camera to 1600x1200 and feed it to the netstream and allow NetStream to take care of everything else, or there is some other magic numbers for resolution that I should set?
    If this is not the case and RTMFP is not taking care of lowering/increasing video quality automatically then how can I measure the quality. I know there are NetStream.info and NetStream.liveDelay, nether of which for RTMFP connections provides valuable information to detect delay. For me liveDelay is going up to 20 and then fluctuacting there, but for info videoLossRate property is always zero, even if I set everything to max and lag is very noticable.
    So how is RTMFP intended to use?

    I agree.  In fact, make it your workflow when sending this type of file to an online vendor.  The importance of the 350ppi requirement is for any of your transparency or raster effects to match their RIP's output line screen.  It's becoming an industry wide mistake to refer to file resolution in terms of dpi.  Do yourself a favor and get familiarized with the terms dpi and ppi, what they really are and what importance they play in output.  The advantage to PDF is the fact that you can establish the output resolution, color settings, and font embedding that will trim the variables that could go wrong on the vendor's end.  Your job is to make sure you apply the correct resolution, color, and font settings in the original file and again when you generate the final PDF.  If you are unsure, find a local print provider that knows what they are doing and can teach you how to setup a file properly.  You may have to intern somewhere, take a good course somewhere, and/or buy a really good and accurate book on prepress file standards.  Try your local book store or library.  Use better keywords when searching on the web, take a look at some of adobe.com's resources ( i.e., A Designer's Guide to PDF or similar ).  Now, you will need to learn more about Illustrator Color Settings and the Raster Effects Resolution Settings.  These are two areas you should spend a little time getting to know how different settings will affect output. In the case of your business card, set the raster resolution to "High".  That will cover you on their 350ppi requirement.  Do not get discouraged by seeing their proof on screen.  It's just a preview.  Do not get too comfortable with what you see on your screen unless your entire workstation is calibrated and even then you have to be cautious. 

Maybe you are looking for
