Editing a project with both True 16:9 footage and 4:3 footage w/ wide bars.

Hi everyone,
I have come across an interesting issue and really could use some suggestions here.
A friend and myself filmed a project using 1 Sony FX1 and a Panasonic DVX-100. Both of us set-up the DV footage to record as 16:9 widescreen thinking we would have the same look.
Once we captured the footage I realized that the Panasonic did not record true 16:9 aspect ratio, instead it recorded 4:3 and added the black bars on the top and bottom.
My issue now is seeing how the entire day the sony was the main camera in FCP I will set up the sequence with the DV NTSC Anamophic setting, but how can I now use the 4:3 (Panasonic) footage?
Can anyone suggest any ideas how I can use the 4:3 footage with blackbars in the 16:9 sequence and not make it look like there are is a sace on the side and top of the footage?
Thanks

I'd add here that you should be adjusting the SCALE the 4:3 footage...
wait...
IF the 4:3 footage comes in with the black on the side and the aspect ratio looks OK then scale it up to 133% or so. You'll loose a small bit of quality, but it won't matter too much and if you are going to colorize the footage you won't even be able to tell.
IF the 4:3 footage comes in looking squished -- everyone fat and short -- then you'll need to change each clip's aspect ratio to 33 or -33 I forget which and THEN scale it up.
You will loose the top and bottom, but one added plus is that you'll also be able to reframe your 4:3 shots up and down to get the right framing.
Good luck,

Is it possible to have a server with both a 2007 DP role and 2012 DP role?

Is it possible to have a server with both a 2007 DP role and 2012 DP?
A client has been sold that as part of the migration the vendor will continue use the existing 2007 servers as DPs, and add the 2012 DP role as part of the migration - then at some future point remove the 2007 role.
Sounds a bit wonky to me, it would be great to have your insights, some MS documentation or case study - to either provide a level of comfort or give me some foundation to chime in and request they adjust their expectations... I haven't found anything yet.
It's not side by side technically, more of concurrent migration?
Thank's for your insights.

Shared DPs are available if you are performing a migration but that's about it.

BSOD with both Kernal Security Check Error and Bad Pool Header.

All -
I have a HP DV7 laptop with Windows 8.1. It has BSOD with both Kernal Security Check Error and Bad Pool Header.
Despite doing all the built in HP tests, there is nothing. Using an Anker HardDrive Dock results in the identical errors on another machine.
Bottom line, even if I could see the DMP files (which I cannot); because the machine fails to boot, there are no files to be copied.
I have tried various AIO and UEFI disks and USB, and the laptop NEVER accepts the PREINSTALL environment. Being unable to use the Anker has never happened. I seem completely locked out of the drive. Any suggestions? Thx.

Hi Texas_Bruiser
Some required details are needed for us to help you.
Ensure that the BIOS/UEFI has been configured to allow boot from DVD/CD or USB.
When you attempted to boot into PREINSTALL environment (PE) by using disks or USB, we need more details about error message or what happened?
If your computer cannot even boot into Windows PE by using installation media, we suggest you check if memory and other hardware are works properly on this computer. Also try to plug this hard disk on other computer as data volume, see if the hard disk works.

First time editing a project with HD, and then burning it to Blu-ray

Hey there everyone.
*Newbie to HD editing alert.
I have two problems regarding HD editing/export.
I've been scouring the forums for several days, and I can't find a specific answer to what I need/want to know. Some things are understandable to a degree, and then there are things that seem way over my head.
(One thing, I've read about third-party programs like Cineform, and such, and was told that those programs aren't really necessary. So, if there's some way to stay away from them, I'd like your suggestions on that. However, if in the end, that's the way I need to go for this to work, then I guess I will have to go that route).
This is my first attempt at capturing and editing in HDV, so please excuse my ignorance if I refer to something in the wrong context.
My main goal:
To edit an HD wedding, shot with Sony FX-1 HD camera, and burn it to a Blu-ray disk.
Here is the computer system that I'm working with:
Dell Precision M6300; Intel Core 2 Duo T7700; 2.40 GHz 800Mhz; 4MB L2 Cache; Dual Core
Operating System: Windows XP PRO SP3;
- 4.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM, 2 DIMM Dell Precision M4300
- NVIDIA QUADRO FX1600M 512MB TurboCache (256 dedicated) Dell Precision M6300
- Hard Drive: 200GB Free Fall Sensor Hard Drive 9.5MM, 7200RPM, Dell Mobile Precision MX300 Factory Install
- 8X DVD+/-RW, Data Only, Dell Precision M6300
- NTFS file system
I have been editing with Premiere Pro CS3 for the past year now.
I used a Sony FX-1 when capturing my footage.
I believe that I captured all the footage in HDV ok. (I made a new project and used the Load Preset of "HDV 1080i30(60i)"; and then captured all the footage thru CS3)
My clip properties (when highlighted in the Project Panel) say that the clip is: an mpeg; and 1440x1080 (1.333).
1. My first problem: I captured 4 clips (Clips 1-3 are 1 hour each; and Clip 4 is 16 mins long). When I place Clip 1 into the timeline . . . the only way I can describe how the audio plays in this clip is . . . the audio looks like it's looping the same 5 to 6 minutes of audio throughout the whole 1 hour clip. (ie: the video is one, long, flowing 1 hour of continuous video; but the audio connected to this same clip, seems to be playing the first 5 mins of the clip, and then repeats it at the 6th minute). You can 'visually' see this problem when you view the audio waveform in the timeline.
The other three clips have no problem with audio at all.
2. My second question is a bit more lengthy:
I wanted to run a test of burning a Blu-Ray of this project's raw footage, to see how the workflow would go after I've edited the wedding.
When I go to Export my timeline to Encore, on the Encoding Settings area, it seems to only let me use the Preset of NTSC Widescreen, with a 720x480 video. I don't see anywhere where it mentions that this project will be HD (which I thought would keep my 1440x1080 dimensions on export).
The Format and Range areas are greyed out; and I can only choose a few things off the Preset dropdown.
Am I missing a step? Or is this what will be exported, but once in Encore, it will be able to burn correctly on Blu-ray?
Again, please excuse my naivety in understanding and/or mis-speaking my problem.
Also on the Export Settings window, on the Output tab - should I check off 'Deinterlace' also? I've read and read about Interlace and Deinterlace, and I am confused as to "what to use when".
So my specific questions are:
1. Regarding the 'repetetive audio loop' on one of my clips - what could the problem be there?
Will it export OK? Or should I just recapture that one clip again?
2A. Do I Export to Encore directly, when I'm done with my timeline and want to go to burn the Blu-ray disk? Or do I need to make my timeline into 'one fluid file'?
2B. If I'm supposed to make a file of the timeline:
Am I supposed to be Exporting to Movie instead?
(When I tried that, my settings under 'Video' showed up as a greyed out area for Frame Size, locked at 720x480 wi

Continuation:
2B. If I'm supposed to make a file of the timeline:
Am I supposed to be Exporting to Movie instead?
(When I tried that, my settings under 'Video' showed up as a greyed out area for Frame Size, locked at 720x480 with a ratio at 4.3. I changed the Pixel Aspect Ratio to "D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)" and the ratio that shows beside the greyed out Frame Rate area does change to 16:9. But the size is still locked at 720x480.
Shouldn't I be seeing 1440x1080 SOMEwhere along the export line? Or at least some sort of ratio that would pertain to HD?
2C. Am I supposed to be Exporting to Adobe Media Encoder?
And if so, should I be choosing:
H.264;
HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality;
Output tab having 'Deinterlace' checked;
using VBR, 2 Pass;
leaving Target Bitrate default of 32;
and Maximum Bitrate default of 40?;
and should I be setting the 'Key Frame Distance' at 30 also?
2D. When exporting, should I always Deinterlace footage?
(I've read so much about Deinterlace and Interlace that I'm lost about the 'when to use either' aspect)
3. If I absolutely have to use a third-party program like Cineform, at what point do you use that program? Is this used at the time that you capture the footage, and then import those files into PPCS3? Or is this a program that you use to Export your project when you're done with your editing?
(I read all the information that Dan Isaacs posted about the "Premiere Pro HDV workflow Guide", but that was entirely too confusing to me right now, as a newbie to HDV, etc. I was going to attempt that way, but I ended up doing this post first).
In my meandering throughout the CS3 forum regarding SD, HD, HDV, etc etc, I have picked up alot of information regarding certain problems and situations. I may have all the info in my head, and I'm just applying it wrong; or, I'm missing something in the mix? I'm not sure what it is, but I seem to be having quite a problem doing what seems to be something that should be 'easy'.
I find this forum extremely helpful and understanding, so I'm looking to you all for help. I would appreciate any and all comments and suggestions!
Thanks so much!

Editing a project with 23.97p and 29.97p

I am working on a documentary piece. I have shot all my interviews 24p 1080i. I noticed today that the last one I shot, I accidentally put the settings on 30p 1080i. Can I edit the 24p and 30p stuff in the same project file? If not, how do I fix this problem?
Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'd add here that you should be adjusting the SCALE the 4:3 footage...

Can't edit old project with upgrade

I created a project in an older version of imovie (not sure which, it was 2001), now I have upgraded, and am trying to open this project, it appears in the upgrade, but I am having trouble editing a few clips, all I want to do it change the words, but the clips don't show up on the side panel. Can anyone help me. Thanks so much!

Let me rephrase my question, so hard to explain, I have a clip with some text in it (in main window, still dont see orginal clip with your suggestion) , when I am on that clip and go to Text, the text doesn't show up, it allows me to add new text but not change what already exists, it seems like it's in a deeper layer or something. It worked in a previous clip and showed up and I changed text there, but can't here for some reason. Does that make any sense?
Thanks for your help.

How can I get my ipad2 calendar to show up on my wife's iphone4 calendar with both have ios5.0.1, and had separate email accounts?

I recently got an IPAD2 with my own email address, and my own apple id. My wife got an Iphone4 (not 4s) for Christmas, which also has IOS 5.0.1, and she has her own email address and her own apple id. How can we sync calendars?

This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
You did not mention that it must be through iCloud. But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously. I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars. They just were going to use the one shared calendar. But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones. (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar. Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

Working with both OS 9.2.1 and OSX 10.4 on Prismo

Hello,
My profile is not entirely correct as it is back to OS9 right now ( I think), I'll sum up what I did (some of this was probably a mistake)
Initially a Prismo Firewire with OS9:
1) Copied OS9 applications to a flash drive.
2) Replaced 12 gbhd with 120 gbhd
3) Added 512 mb more ram
4) Installed OSX Tiger 10.4
5) Installed iLife05, iMovieHD and iDVD5
6) Copied OS9 applications from flash drive to a new folder which I named "OS9 Applications" in case I needed those old apps.
7) Found out I needed some of those OS9 apps so I used the original OS9 disks and loaded 9.04 (clean install), updated to 9.1 and then updated to 9.2.1
8) Rebooted and it opened to OS9.
So did I "erase" OSX when I installed OS9?
What do I need to do to be able to use both OSX and OS9?
How do I choose what OS I want to use or how do I switch between the two OS's?
Sorry if this is a duplicate of posts by others. I looked at a lot of them and did not find any that sounded like my dilemma.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're in OS9 now, use the Startup Disk control panel to choose OS( or OSX 10.4 - I think NetBoot may also be offered.
If you're in OSX, use the Startup Disk System Preference and choose from OS9, OSX or "Network Startup".
OSX should still be on the disk if you didn't reformat the disk when installing OS9.
Just one issue may arise, flash drives are normally formatted FAT16 or FAT32 for use with Windows PCs. Your OS9 Applications may be hosed if you haven't reformatted the flash drive to Mac HFS / HFS+. This can be achieved in Disk copy / Disk Utility.
At least you still have the 12GB drive with everything intact on it.

SRM Local Purchase Order with both a standard line item and limit item...

In SRM is it standard that you can create a local purchase order from the sourcing cockpit that contains a mix of limit items and standard items?
I know this can be done in R/3.

Paul,
I am a functional/business person, and we are running SRM550 in extended classic, linking to ERP backed.
From our business point of view it makes little sense to mix a limit item with one or more standard catalog item. SAP standard SRM 550 actually stops our users from doing this.
For those who are not aware of the differences I will elaborate.
A standard item is either from a Free Text entry process with the process being completed by a professional purchaser or a catalog item either internal to SRM, or maybe from an external website.
Limit orders are value based and are mostly used for the payment of Utility bills, or for services. We don't use services at all.
In our business we use limit orders for an Electricity Bill for example.
When the user confirms a limit order the quantity should always be 1 and the user enters the value of the item.
The Invoice entry team then needs to match the Invoice to the GR line. It's at this point that if you have Limit items and standard items mixed our invoice entry team could run into problems.
We are aware that it is not recommended practice for Limit orders to have GR and if you can avoid this step then you should. Unfortunately our operating model insist on everything being confirmed and in the case of limit orders this can cause us invoice blocking issues.
Limit orders are normally set up to run for a full FY so the addition of standard catalog items to a limit order makes little or no business sense.
If a user added two limit items to a shopping cart for the same supplier our system would produce two PO's for the supplier to use.
We actually avoid transmitting Limit order details to our suppliers as this would indicate the maxiumum value they could invoice us for, businesses just don't do that. We just send them the PO number and description of the item. This provides them with a PO Ref number to puton their invoices.
As we are still running SRM 550 maybe someone with SRM 7 knowledge would care to expand on this analysis?
Hope this helps?

Best multi-function printer to work with both OS 10.3.9 and OS 10.4.6?

Now that HP's built-in obsolescence has left me looking to replace my once-trusty old psc 2175, I'm looking for another printer/scanner/copier that will do the same basics reliably & economically & with the same or better durability. (including photo card slots, plus printing via wired connection to AirPort Express) Any suggestions?
Also, since we use both G3 and G4 Macs, should I stay away from printers that specify only G4?
Thank you.,
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) G3's are OS 10.3.9

All solved
Hi--
Can I ask what you did to solve it? My TiBook's internal airport is flaky and a PC card seems like the cheapest way to keep it going.
Thanks a lot.

Sync with both Mac os 10.4 AND Windows XP at the same time?

After much research AND much frustration with my Moto Q... I have decided on a Palm Centro (the prodical is returning home --- i used to use Palm all the time)
Here is my one question... I use Outlook on my computer at work (XP - office suite) and I can use Palm Desktop (or iCal) on my Mac at home (10.4)
Is it possible to setup the palm to sync with outlook at work and either iCal or Palm Desktop at home so that the same calendar, tasks, contacts, are on work comp, home comp and Centro at the same time? will i make something blow up? I am just trying to get prepped for when I am able to get the centro (8 days and counting).
If nothing else... I haven't been syncing to the Mac at home with the Moto Q and so I am really not 'out' anything... just wanted to know if it could be done?
anyone out there doing this?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

yeah... i was thinking Cabled sync. I just want to be able to make changes at work on outlook, sync them with my centro, take my centro home, and sync it with my mac (using palm desktop OR iCal -- suggestions?!) and have the information the same in both places!
I am wondering if the centro, unlike my iPod, will allow me to sync in two places (not at the same time) and possibly even with different software (outlook and palm)
Thanks!

I just got my iphone 4s and i went to sync it from my ipod and it froze with a black screen, with the apple in the middle, and what looks like a loading bar under it

My iphone 4s is frozen and i dont know how to fix it

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project. Can I do this? thanks for the help

jazziegirl
Thanks for the follow up.
The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013

Hi All,
In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
Thanks
Shanky

Shanky --
When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project. Here is how the software works:
You enter the Start date of the project.
You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you. So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
you to do this. Hope this helps.
