Clips are 'wrong size' when brought on to timeline

Hi
I've filmed some clips with new camcorder (AVCHD 1080 x50p) and set up project at 720 x 25p - hope I've got those figures right.
When I take clips to timeline I don't see full clip in program monitor (though I see full clip in source monitor) and have to re-size each clip.
Initially I see a central piece of the actual shot.
I suspect this may be due to the project settings - I have tried to take clips into Premiere via the 'new item' facility but it doesn't seem to accept them.
(The clips were brought into the PC by drag & drop - I took in the whole AVCHD file.
Can I adjust something to prevent having to resize each clip individually?
Many Thanks for any advice given
Norman

Norman,
As Harm says, the Sequence setting should match your Source Footage perfectly. You can Import your AVCHD footage into the Project, and then just drag the first Clip to the New Icon, to create a matching Sequence:
Good luck,
Hunt

My video clips are just black when i import them to iMovie! (they are mp4) p.s. i have alot of clips

I keep importing all these video files which are mp4 format and they have thumbnail pics but when i hover over them to preview they turn black and i cant see any thing!?
do i have the wrong format or what? I have worked with imovie alot and this has ever happend...
HELP PLEASE!!

It is possible that the clips are are variant of h.264 that iMovie cannot read.
I would suggest that you get a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from squared 5 dot com.
Drag one of your clips into MPeG Streamclip. The File/Export Using QuickTime. Choose either the Apple Intermediate codec or the h.264 codec. H.264 will give you a smaller file. Apple Intermediate Codec will give you a larger file but smoother editing performance.
In iMovie, use File/Import Movie to import this new clip.
If that works, then MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode where you can do all the clips at once.

Movie clips have wrong time when importing

I use to rename my images before importing to iPhoto. I copy them from my camera to a folder in the desktop, rename everything to my like using Adobe Bridge, and then I import them to iPhoto. That way the name of a file usually corresponds to the one in the internal Library (control-freak as I am). That said, I never mess with the Library.
But I'm having this problem all the time: After importing, all the image pictures are listed on the event accordingly to their correct date/time, but the movie clips are not. They always have an irregular variation in time, sometimes with a difference of several hours, that I have to change manually using iPhoto "adjust date/time" to have them sorted ok chronologically. The strange thing is: that EXIF data is correct in Bridge! I even use this to view/reference the correct time in Bridge, and change it on the movie file already imported in iPhoto.
Could this be a bug in iPhoto, or is there something wrong with my way of importing? Again, it happens only to the movie files, not the images.
Thanks.

Thank you. I didn't know that.
But still, for me it's a common issue to have iPhoto reading a wrong "File Created" data on my imported movies, even though it seems to be OK on the original file. Does it ever happen to you, know about that issue? Sometimes I have ten or more movie clips in an event and it's a bit of a hassle to restore manually the correct time for each one.
Maybe it's Bridge fault, maybe it's iPhoto, maybe my workaround is the only answer to this "bug"?
Thanks again.

Wrong size when exporting to jpg

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Illustrator, would really appreciate all the help and tips
I'm trying to create a wallpaper of certains size. I'm creating an artboard with dimentions 1024px by 768 px, all is fine. However, then I export my artwork into jpeg using File -> Export option. I'm getting a file which is 4267px by 3200px. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and it's very frustrating! Would really appreciate any help.
I'm exporting with the following settings:
Quality: 10
Color Model: CMYK
Method: Baseline (Standard)
Resolution Depth: High
Options: Anti-Alias and Embed ICC Profile are ticked.

Another question along the lines. Is it better to create a file with the 72 PPI from the beginning or to change it when exporting to jpeg?
Illustrator files have no resolution, as measured in PPI, until the art is rasterized. This means that the only time you can make the art 72 ppi is when you export to JPG. The exceptions would be anything that is rasterized (Object > Rasterize) or any raster effect such as Drop Shadow, any Glow effects, or anything below the fold in the Effect menu. Effects are rasterized according to Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings.
I often find Photoshop does a better job rasterizing than Illustrator. You can open the AI file in Photoshop and rasterize at any resolution, then resample to 72 ppi. I suggest using 288 ppi, which is exactly four time 72 ppi, then either resample or use Save for Web and Devices and scale to 25%.

Audio in/out positions of video clip are wrong in metadata

If I highlight a clip and "display in project" then display that in Source, and "go to in", CS5.5 is wrongly telling me where the clip fromt he source material begins within the source.. it's like 8 minutes off at least. This project was imported via XL from FCP on a Mac, wondering if that wuold have anything to do with it...

The only thing I understand is MAC, off, FCP and these terms do not bode well. For the rest is can only be attirbuted to those terms or OE irrespective of what you mean.
8 minutes is meaningless for an invalid snail using FCP on a MAC with everything turned off with material that is not really material at all, so what are you complaining about? If this is yes, then why not? Everything makes perfect sense if you do not want to know what is going on, and then it is utterly logical, unless you do not understand what is illogical to start with and you understand that not understanding is a form of understanding that is logical to comprehend the illogical, or something like this...

Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
(background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

All Documents Sanned To PDF Are Wrong Size

All of a sudden every document I scan defaults to 8.5x14 rather than 8.5x11. I went through every setting I could find and the only unacceptable solution was to crop the image. There haven't been any changes to the OS or to the printer software so I am puzzled as to what happened.
Hopefully someone has a solutoin to this problem because an exhaustive "Google search failed to find any solution.
Thanks

PRE7 - clips are shimmering/flickering when an effect is applied

Hi. When I apply an effect to a clip (Black&White, rotate clip, etc) the clip starts to shimmer/flicker and is not as clear as the original, when i play it. however when i pause or quickly drag the bar through it, it looks normal. will my video come out ok when i burn it? thanks for any help anyone can give me. i'm using 2.5 Ghz quadcore pc with 4gb of ram.. so i don't think the problem is my pc.

The image-display that you see when you have paused, is the quality that you would get in the output.
Since these effects that you have applied, needs some computation, the real time playback is not able to compute this and show it in real time.
If you want to see the effects before outputting, you need to hit enter on the keyboard for the computation to happen. It would take a while, but you can be sure that what you see here is what you get. :)

MP4 clips out of sync when dropping onto my timeline and I can't fix it.

I'm trying to drop some mp4 clips onto my timeline in CS6 Premier Pro. The problem is the audio keeps going out of sync. It plays fine elsewhere but for some reason doesn't sync up properly in the timeline and I can't fix it. It looks like the video is slower than the audio/ the audio is quicker. When the clip is on the timeline it has a green line above it where as everything that is in sync has a yellow line. All clips have been imported from my internal drive. I'm using a Macbook Pro 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the source of your clips, and do they possibly use a Variable Frame Rate instead of a Constant Frame Rate?

Flash CS4: why movie clips are static when exporting to video formats ?

Does anyone know why the movie clips are non animated when I export my flash animation into a video format ?
Please see the next flash example I made: (4 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/flash_movieclip.swf
And now see how it looks like once exported into video format: (160 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/Video_movieclip.avi

You must need a suitable codec for that like DivX codec, it will also import the nested movieclip animations. otherwise whatever you have on the main timeline is exported for avi. you will get the codec on the export settings for avi.

Key Figures With Hide can be shown showing wrong values when displayed in a query

Hi Experts,
I have a qiery with two structures in the column(cell Definition) three key figures are displayed and the rest are all hide can be displayed. However whenever i display one of the hidden key figures along with one displayed key figures it initially shoes incorrect values. Once i add another key figure (which has status always show) the hidden jey figure value gets corrected. Is it a problem with the structure? Kindly assist.For example when i display the actuals(always show) and actuals rate(hide can be shown) the values for actuals rate are wrong , however when i add the plan rate(always ahow) the values for actual rate gets corrected. Screenshots for structures below.

Hi Sayanto,
For this I would recommend you to check the Key figure definition in all 3 situations.
1. original display
2. display of hidden KF
3. Display of existing KF
I suspect that cell references may have some effect on the calculation as you are adding the hidden KF in analyzer directly. You can prove this only by checking Key figure definition.
Please let me know if you are facing any issue in getting the Key figure definition itself.
Also, as Cornelia suggested check if you have any constant selection applied to any of your KFs.
Hope this helps.

Incorrect size when photo edited in photoshop

If I am viewing an image at full screen in iPhoto and then open it for editing in Photoshop, The resulting saved image is the wrong size when it uploads to Flickr. Sometimes, it also appears at the wrong size when viewed in iPhoto as well. Generally, rebuilding thumnails corrects the problem. Likewise, images opened from the iPhoto grid view also do not appear incorrectly. Granted, I just named two work-arounds, but neither is very satisfying. Anyone else have a better idea?

Do you have PSE setup this way in iPhoto?
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
