Color Changing Clip Aspect Ratio When Sent Back To FCP

Color... Love it...BUT...
When I send my sequence from FCP to Color, grade it, then send it back, the aspect ratio of all the clips is changed to 6.67.
I only corrected our new TV shows teaser so I was not to concerned with having to go into the motion tab in FCP to change each clips aspect ratio back to 0. However, I will grade the whole 80 minutes tomorrow and I don't have time to change each clip back.
In color I only change the Primary In.
Did not mess with the geometry.
I have the latest update.
And I have no clue....
Any help would be great.
Peace

Yup,
Like Fearless I find its best to not have FCP do the anamorphic squeeze. I never tag anything as anamorphic and just do it on the monitor. At the end of the project I'll nest into a timeline for output and do the squeeze there.
If everyone on this thread goes from within Color:
Color > Send Color Feedback
Please log this bug. The more of us that complain, the quicker they'll fix it. And this one is a killer.

  • Graded footage empty / black when sent back to FCP

    I've done some basic grading of a short film in Color (purely applying the Film Look effect as a test), then rendered and sent back to FCP. The clips on the new 'from Color' FCP are now black/empty (although they're all the correct length and are still linked to the audio etc.). The widescreen matte is still on their too (not visible obviously, but the filters are showing in the tab).
    I have done some more in-depth grading in Color in the past (different computer, different project), but I feel like I do know my way around Color and haven't done anything untoward. I'm just a bit confused as to why I'm getting this.
    Can anyone advise?
    I do have

    Cuppla quick questions first, why would you apply a "Film Look" to film? It was maybe shot on well-exposed '45 and you want it to look more like '79?
    And if you're only adding a filter, why not do it in FCP with a (better) plugin and not bother with all this roundtrip mucking about and doubling up your stored media?
    Anyway, to the task at hand:
    First thing to check, if the (from COLOR) sequence is empty, is invoke "Reveal in Finder" and if anything comes up then try to preview it in Quicktime. If there is a completely empty render directory, then you have committed a path/setup error when initiating the Render Queue. Odds on this is the case. Your renders may exist, but in the default COLOR folder-- if you loaded the queue first and then changed the target project directory. You must always designate the target and then load the queue. The return XML will reference the new target where placeholder grade subfolders will have been created... but not filled. So the return won't even link to source.
    Let me know...

  • Camileo S10 - how to change the aspect ratio to 16:9

    Does anyone know how to change the aspect ratio when making movies with the arcsoft software included with the S10!!!!!
    Won't let me select 16:9 only 4:3!!!
    Not sure why as when you play the recording back directly through the telly it does it in 16:9 so I know it's being recorded in the right ratio!!

    You cannot change the aspect ratio because you record at full hd 1080. The S10 records in format 1440/1080 at full hd, wich means 4/3. The S10 is not capable to record in full hd at 1920/1080 (this is 16/9 full hd). It is simple:
    Camileo S10 record 1440 pixels on horizontal and 1080 pixels on vertical. The aspect ratio is 4/3.
    Answer for your question: if you want to see in 16/9 format use HD2 (720p) for recording.
    Bye.

  • Only one angle is playing in multi clip sent back to FCP from Color

    2 camera Multiclip edited and rendered in FCP 6, sent to color, played ok after color adjustment.
    Rendered in color, and sent back to FCP; second angle in the clip is blank (black).
    tried different settings in color prior to sending, same result.
    The multi clip plays ok in FCP prior to sending to color, and plays ok in color prior to sending to FCP.
    Any idea what is being missed here to make second camera show?

    The fix you can try is to Media Manage the project exporting the active Multiclip selection as independent. With that, you might even be able to create a new COLOR prj and import color corrections, so not much repeated labour.

  • How do I change the aspect ratio of source video in the event library?

    I’ve imported video to iMovie 08 from a Canon Mini DV MD235 video camera. The video is recorded in widescreen format and plays back in widescreen when viewed from the iMovie event library (prior to doing any video editing). However, when I delete rejected frames from any particular video clip in the event library the video clip is automatically pillarboxed (i.e. switched from widescreen to 4:3 format). This squashes the video horizontally, stretches it vertically and leaves vertical black bars to the left and right of the video during playback. This automatic change in aspect ratio is occurring to the source video in the event library.
    I’d be grateful for any help / advice on how I can convert the edited clips back to widescreen aspect ratio, so they display in the *event library* as they did when first imported into iMovie.

    I don’t really want to clog up my hard drive with unwanted video and it’s easier to edit it from within iMovie.
    Have you considered manually importing only portions of the clips you actually plan to use? Or, if you must import the entire clip, have you considered trimming externally in an application like MPEG Streamclip which will allow you to set frame level in/out points and then perform a "Save As..." operation that stores the select range of frames to an MOV file container retaining the proper flag?
    Is there anything I can do from within iMovie to activate the 16:9 setting for these as yet unedited clips, so the same pillarboxing doesn’t happen?
    Not sure what you mean by "unedited" here. If the files have been destructively split, the flag is gone and there is nothing you can do about it but re-compress. If you mean they are imported but as of yet whole and still contain their flags, then you have two options. The first is to edit non-destrctively within iMovie '08 and the second would be to do the trimming externally.
    This second option is really fairly simple. Just close iMovie '08. Open MPEG Streamclip and load a clip you want to trim. Set your in and pout points, select the "Save As..." option, and store the files in the original Events folder with a new name. I would also recommend you perform these trims in their original time sequence so the "creation" date time groups (Finder attributes) are in time order also. When done with the loaded clip either delete it from the "Event" folder or move it to an archival location. When done with the last clip, close MPEG Streamclip, delete the Cache and Thumbnail folders from the Event folder, open iMovie '08 again, and go get a cup of coffee or tea while the files are re-thumbnailing. DO NOT DO THIS TO ANY EVENT WHICH CONTAINS FILES ALREADY USED IN ANY PROJECT. (I.e., this must be done before you start the actual project editing process.)
    It seems odd to me that iMovie is doing this.
    I suspect that as the application was originally written as an NLE, non-destructive, "by reference" application, the writers/updaters "overlooked" this facet when adding a "destructive" routine and did not provide for checks of this flag nor provide for copying it re-written segments.

  • Premiere keeps ruining my aspect ratio when I export xml

    Hi.
    I've got an issue with when I export out XML, when I bring it back into Premiere its changing the aspect ratio and giving my talent a very stretched out and tall apperance.
    I'm exporting out so I can go sync up in Plural eyes and come back into premeire.
    I have talked to red giant support and they had me do a test with just making some xml file and bringing it back into premiere and that screwed it up too, so its not them.
    what should I do?
    and honestly maybe I need a fresh install. I worked with phone support last month to fix some serial # issues with my dynamic link and my workflow has been full of crashes and bugs ever since.
    thanks,
    John

    thanks. I'll try deleting the preferences.
    I ended up getting it done but having to do a bunch of goofy copy and paste stuff.
    I'm reluctant to call but I'm sure adobe 3rd world techsupport will suggest taking over my machine, lets have half a day of downtime and reinstall all the same stuff.

  • IDVD is producing DVDs which chop the edges off my video.  I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 but it hasn't helped.  My TV is definitely on the correct settings.  How can I solve this?

    iDVD is producing DVDs which chop the edges off my video.  I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 but it hasn't helped.  My TV is definitely on the correct settings.  How can I solve this?

    One way to to put the videos into an iDVD slideshow
    and set iDVD's Slideshow preferences to always scale slides to TV Safe Area. 
    However, some users have reported that the audio quality using this method is lessened.  I've not noticed it but then I don't have a good ear when it comes to that sort of thing. If you add more than one video in the same slideshow do not select any transition.

  • Set maximum aspect ratio when exporting

    Hello,
    I'm using LR5 and I'm wondering if it's possible (maybe with plugins if necessary) to set a maximum aspect ratio when experting photos. For example I have a picture that I cropped to be a panorama, with an aspect ratio of 26:11. The print shop can print at a maximum aspect ratio of 19:11. So my 26:11 image is too small and I need to add some bars at the top and bottom of my photo to reach an aspect ratio of 19:11 (see also the sketch below). Later, when I get the finished prints, I have to cut the bars at the top and bottom with a pair of scissors for example. Is it possible to let LR automatically add these borders for a given maximum apsect ratio?

    Hi Victoria, thank you for your reply. I looked at the Mogrify plugin, but couldn't find the option I need. I see some options for canvas and resizing and adding bars, but these all require to set a certain absolute pixel dimension. I don't want to resize images to a specific pixel size, I just want to correct the aspect ratio by adding bars at the bottom and top of the photo. Maybe I'm missing something in the Mogrify plugin? Could you explain how I can add the borders automatically to reach a maximum aspect ratio of 19:11 using Mogrify? Just to be clear, all photos with an aspect ration between 11:11 and 19:11 don't have to be changed. Only photos with an aspect ratio larger than 19:11 should be changed to 19:11 by adding the bars.

  • How do I change the aspect ratio on Final Cut Pro X?

    Whenever I upload new media (regardless of what ratio it was filmed in) it plays in letterbox format. I would like to change the aspect ratio to 16:9. Thanks.

    Please open the clip in the QT player and post a screen shot of the movie inspector. Post a screen **** of what you're seeing in the viewer.
    You keep saying upload, do you mean import?

  • Change pixel aspect ratio

    Hi all,
    My school requires me to produce all my videos in a format of 768px by 576px, square pixels, PAL format.  I need to know how to change the pixel aspect ratio to 768x576 with the standard PAL format and square pixels.  I can see that when you start a project you can set the size, but the boxes that contain the pixel size are shadowed out and I can't select them to change them. I have also tried to modify the project after it was created, using project settings and sequence settings, but again, I was not able to select the boxes that included the pixel aspect ratio.
    Please help soon, as my project is due within hours.

    My source material is 768x576 animations from Maya.  The output needs to be .avi format, but it's not going onto a DVD or a DV tape or a web video, it just needs to be uploaded to my instructor's computer.
    I am trying to export a file with the correct aspect ratio now.  I set the output to codec=none, and changed the aspect ratio to 768x576.  It seems unable to output the file, as I have tried four times and it has given me an error each time.  Is a codec necessary?  Is that what's freaking it out?
    Also, the final video will only be 2:28 long, and I have set the scratch disk to a drive on my computer that has 78 GB free, so I hope it is not running out of processing space.
    Thank you for your help and patience with this problem.  I'm not sure I get the reason for the format myself, which is probably why I'm having trouble explaining why this is so important.  However, my instructor told us numerous times that we absolutely had to have a final file that was 768x576, so I figured I had to make every effort to get it done that way.

  • How can I change the aspect ratio

    I connected my new Apple TV 2 to an LCD projector (Epson 9300) using a Belkin HDMI-to-DVI cable. The projector supports a variety of resolutions, but the aspect ratio is fixed at 4:3. The picture is therefore stretched vertically. How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?

    How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?
    You can't. The TV device plays content at the encoded aspect ratio. It is up to your viewing device to alter the display aspect if it can. Your primary options are to use a different viewing device capable of multiple aspect ratios, scaling, and/or zoom effects or you could simply letterbox your content when you encode it.

  • Handling Aspect Ratios when Distributing Powerpoint Templates

    Our organization has a standard Powerpoint template that is distributed to all users. The template is currently in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Since upgrading to Office 2013, the presentation created by the template on widescreen laptops is converted to 16:9 which
    stretches our company logo. Converting it back to 4:3 messes with the layout of the slides.
    Now for the questions...
    It appears that Powerpoint will not auto-convert a template that has been created in 16:9 format. Is that correct?
    Are there any options other than republishing the template in the 16:9 format?
    Is is possible to create a template with formatting information for both formats?
    Is there a setting in Powerpoint that I am missing which will prevent the widescreen laptops from changing the aspect ratio of a presentation template?

    "In earlier versions of PowerPoint, slides were squarer (4:3).  Much of the world’s TVs and video has gone to widescreen and HD formats, and so has PowerPoint. The default slide size is now widescreen (16:9).  Here’s how you can change the size
    of the slides..."

  • How can I change the aspect ratio of an image display

    I am snapping a sequence of images and using imgPlot to diplay the images. However, due to my camera specifications [it's a Pulnix 9701 with Pixel Size 11.6μm (H) X 13.3μm (V)], the image I get displayed is elongated in the horizontal direction, i.e. if I snap an image of a square, I get a rectangle on my computer display.
    How can I change the aspect ratio of the display on my computer? The only parameters I have seen so far just control what portion of the image is acquired or diplayed, but none actually changes the aspect ratio.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you are using an analog camera, you can set the aspect ratio in MAX. This will correct for non-square pixels.
    If you are using a digital camera, I don't think there is a way to fix it during acquisition. You could resample the image to correct the ratios, but that would be a slow, time consuming process.
    One other possibility is that your computer monitor is in a mode which is not a standard 4x3 configuration. For example 640x480 and 800x600 are 4:3 ratios. 1200x1024 is not, which tends to distort your displayed images.

  • How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

    How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

    The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio.  DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.
