Compression: what's right frame size for anamorphic film using H.264 Lan?

i have an anamorphic (16:9) 25 minute film i want to export using Compression's H.264 Lan option (for web-posting purposes). What settings do I need for the frame size to keep it at its original proportions? i thought that 720 x 405 would do the trick, but it is slightly off, makes some of the images rather oval.
thanks much....

x & patrick,
thanks for your help & desire for further clarification.
i am dealing with a sequence composed largely of footage from a panasonic pv-gs500 using the widescreen mode. i don't know if it's "true" anamorphic or 16:9, but it's on an anamorphic timeline and looks just fine there.
i experimented all nite last nite trying to get the right ratio for the compression type i mentioned. it looks like i finally succeeded using 740 x 416. i have no idea WHY this works, but when viewing the final exported product, it looks pretty perfect. i think it cuts off a teeny tiny bit of the height, not even noticeable.
any explanation of WHY this ratio works would be welcome, to help along my understanding....

  • Advice on sequence settings - frame size for VHS video in FCP

    Hello,
    I was hoping that I could get some advice on editing and output for video captured from VHS Tapes to ensure the best quality possible.
    My current workflow to digitize the VHS tapes is:
    VHS signal from JVC S7600u with TBC into ADVC 300 (no de-interlace or other filters set) into a Mac Pro via firewire.  Capture preset in FCP is DV NTSC 48khz.
    Once in FCP - the captured VHS video frame size is 720 X 480, Vid rate is 29.97, pixel aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601 and field dominance is lower (even)
    My questions are:
    If my final destination is for You Tube sharing , are these the best sequence/ frame size settings or should I convert the sequence frame size to 640 X 480, or should I leave at 720 X 480 while working in FCP and then output to Compressor and select the H264 you tube sharing video setting and change the frame size to 640 X 480? 
    Should I de- interlace for internet/youtube destination?
    Should I de-interlace for DVD/TV destination?
    If I want to burn the finished project to DVD and watch the video on a progressive montitor/ TV screen, what would be the best settings/frame size for that?
    If any of you out there have experience with editing vcr/analog video in FCP and have a good workflow to ensure best quality, I would really appreciate  any advice/suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Digitize to 720X480 frame size in FCP. In compressor, your YouTube preset will automatically deinterlace and a square pixel aspect ratio.No deinterlacing for DVD.

  • Converting Frame Size for Final Cut

    I have XDCAM HD .mov files that are 1440x1080, which I converted through Streamclip to 1920x1080.  And 2 problems arose:
    1)  the 1st time I imported them in the Project I had the right Frame Size : 1920x1080, but the wrong Pixel Aspect : HD (1440x1080) instead of Square.
    2)  the 2nd time I looked for an Option in Streamclip to select the Pixel Aspect, but there is none.   I imported the 1920x1080 files into the project, and they appeared as 1440x1080 files!!!
    I also tried creating a sequence with the desired specs (Frame Size and Pixel Aspect) and said NO when asked to conform the Sequence to the Clip.  It worked but the RED Rendering will take forever.
    Do you have a better solution?  
    Could the problem be my Version 6 Final Cut?  Or am I missing something?  I would be most grateful for any suggestion.

    If you have iTunes 9 or higher, go to +iTunes > Preferences > General+. Under 'When inserting a CD' select any one of the three import options. Then click +Import Settings > Import Using > AIFF Encoder.+ In the same panel, click +Setting > Custom.+ Select +Sample Rate = 48Khz, Sample Size = 16 bit, Channels = Stereo.+ Then click +OK, OK, OK.+
    Then in your Library, select the song you want to convert. Then do +Advanced > Create AIFF Version.+ iTunes will make a copy of the song & convert it to AIFF.

  • Adobe SendNow - What is the optimal size for custom logos?

    I just tried to upload a custom logo (800x200) and it seemed to be stuck up in the top left corner, with a large amount of blank white screen.
    What is the optimal size for this please, and how do I centre a smaller logo?
    It is of course entirely possible I will need to make one in PS - not a problem - but the right sizes would be helpful info please.
    Many Thanks

    That is what I read too - but when I uploaded one it got tucked up in the top left corner of the "custom" setup thumbnail.
    Perhaps it is just a glitch in that dialogue, but it certainly looked as if there was a raft of space to the right & underneath.
    Still, probably Pilot Error so I will recheck - thank you Dave.

  • What is right Recovery CD for Satellite L300?

    I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had Windows 7 operating system but the Recovery CDs had Windows XP.
    And my hard disk was single partition and Microsoft office was not working on this notebook and I used that CD to fix these problems.
    But I lost my previous Windows 7.
    Now it is Windows Xp SP 3 on my computer.
    But I am not satisfied with XP want Windows 7.
    How can i get it again for free?
    Please let me know that what is right Recovery CD for "Toshiba Satellite L300". ?

    >I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had Windows 7 operating system but the Recovery CDs had Windows XP.
    Hmm this is strange I have no clue what Satellite L300 this is but usually an L300 series was preinstalled with Vista Home Premium
    So Im wondering why Win 7 was preinstalled and why you get Win XP recovery disk
    Usually the L300 should be equipped with an HDD recovery partition which would contain the Toshiba image.
    It should be able to recover the new notebook using the HDD recovery and this should help you reinstall the Vista OS.
    In my opinion you should talk with your dealer maybe the notebook was a replacement device????
    Who knows

  • What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

    what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

    In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

    Hi Ramidi,
    There is something called message split on adapter engine but it won't guarantee a sequence of adapter calls.
    here is a blog about it:

    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    PAL is 720 x 576 pixels interlaced (bottom first).
    If it's 16:9 aspect ratio, you need to select "Anamorphic" and the frame rate it 25 fps.
    If you need help with Compressor settings - I use Best for everything including re-sizing - processing is slow but the result is excellent.
    I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip for converting, but I have not tried it.

  • Export XML in right frame rate  for resolve?

    Hi!
    I'm in serious need for some help! When I import my exported XML sequence from premiere in to DaVinci Resolve 10 lite, I get an error message saying "The imported sequence frame rate (25) must be the same as the project frame rate (23,976)." All of my settings in Premiere that I can think of is set to 23,976fps, but if I understand the error message right, DaVinci claims the XML is 25fps... doesn't make any sense at all. I've tried for several hours now getting this to work, but it won't.
    I would really appreciate some help with this one, I'm in a hurry (as always, we're behind schedule). Worked with Davinci many times before, never had any problem with it.
    Regards
    /Patrik

    I am not a Resolve user, but could it be that Resolve has been set up for a 25fps project? And maybe the lite version restricts your frame size?
    Just curious.

  • Is it possible to set frame size for a new project ?

    Hi all,
    i would like to create a video in which there will be 2 videos playing the same content from a different angle.
    Each video is 512 x 384 .
    So i would like to set the frame size of the project as 1024 x 768 in order both videos to exist.
    I searched around for tutorials regarding this but i didn't find anything similar.It seems as if i cannot set the frame size of the project from the start.
    So,is there a way to do this?
    Thank you for your time reading this.
    Regards,
    nikits72.

    Hi and thank you for your answers.
    @->shoternz
    It will be displayed in my monitor and probably on you tube.Btw your remark on size was very accurate.Didn't think of that.
    Although i could use a little bigger height to use it to display a logo or something....
    I am very premiere newbie as you can understand.

  • What is the ideal size for you music artwork?

    I wonder what the ideal artwork is for your music?
    Because on the pictures below you can see that there is still som white on the upper and bottom place of the artwork and it is a 600 x 600 artwork.. And I Have an iPhone 4S so the artwork needs to be high resolution
    Thanks

    Trim off any unsightly borders in an image editor and resize to square of similar size to the original, or smaller if you want to save space. There is no point resizing a 200x200px image to 600x600px, but reducing a larger image sourced from the web would be a good move.

  • What is the maximum size for mailbox per user (Exchange 2007)

    Hello,
    I'd like to know:
    What is the maximum size per mailbox, and is it not recommended to exceed 3 GB and about the items how many is the maximum per folder (inbox, .. )
    I've Exchange 2007 SP2, Outlook 2007 and 2010.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    There is no size limit on mailboxes up to the maximum size of your database.  I normally recommend 2GB mailbox limits if you have some form of archiving in place.  If you have no archiving in place then the limit should be set at the amount of
    data people need to keep - it is not a good idea for people to store mail in PST files because there is a limit on their mailbox.
    See this article for item count recommendations:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905803
    Also you need to upgrade your Exchange 2007 server to SP3 ... SP2 has been out of support for nearly 3 years already:
