Editing project in 4:3

I've got some vintage footage I'm trying to edit that wasn't shot in 16:9, but rather 4:3. Problem is, whenever I drag the clip into an empty project, it's letterboxed rather than the project adapting to a new aspect ratio. Is there any way to change it? Preferably without creating a new project, I've already set markers for all the involved files.

Worked perfectly. Thanks so much

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work?

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.

I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

DVD authoring after editing project with FCP X

FCP X has extremely limited DVD authoring options within it. Can't put more than one short movie on a disc, only two menu templates to choose from, etc. So my question is what do I use to author a DVD after editing projects with FCP X? I know I need to use Compressor to set chapter points, etc., but what do I use to build the DVD menu and burn the DVD? I certainly hope I am not limited to iDVD only, which is not really a pro application, and I gather that DVD Studio Pro is no longer being sold. Amazingly, I asked this question at a One-to-One session at an Apple Store and the guy there suggested Adobe Encore ... I was totally shocked! Does anyone have an answer to all this?

Encore is very good, but you have to buy PPro to get it, you could look on eBay for a copy of DVDSP. It does look like Apple will not be offering a Pro Level DVD authoring package anymore, it's a shame as DVDSP works very well still and they could have just offered it as a standalone.

I cannot edit project in project server after editing it in project professional

Hi
i cannot edit project in project server 2013 after editing it in project professional.
i.e I created an enterprise project in project server and then edit it with project professional. after i published it to the server and open it with project server, it shows the changes. but when i click on a cell, suddenly the task list and gantt table
hidden!!
it happens even if I start a project with project professional.
I'm the admin user.
what's the problem?
Thanks.

CU means cumulative updates, which are intermediate bug fix packages between SP. The latest CU for Project 2013 was release on September 12th. See reference
here.
Can you try to reproduce the bug with
IE in compatibility mode?
Hope this helps,

'Edit Project' button grayed out for a project

I have been working on a project but it stopped working all of a sudden. The 'Edit Project' button is grayed out and won't let me click on it. The movie doesn't appear in the preview pane either.
More information:
iMovie 11
Using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard
I have sped up some of the clips
No other effects used
The earlier versions of this project (which are Hi-Vis Vest 1 and Hi-Vis Vest 3 in the screenshot) are editable BUT won't play in the preview pane but will play on full screen mode.
Anyone else have the same issue?
Sarah

Users are not able to edit projects even with right permissions

Hello,
We have a weird issue. Your help or inputs is appreciated.
A user is not able to edit projects in SAP PPM 50 unless 1)the project is created by the user and 2)user has access to ACO_SUPER auth object. For the projects, the user is trying to edit, we made sure user has write ACL access in the administration tab of the project.
Obviously, we can't give all users ACO_SUPER access. Please advise how to proceed.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pranith,
You are right..ACO_SUPER is not recommended for all users, it's an super user access.
In PPM-Project management, there are two authorizations
1) General Authorizations
2) Project Specific authorizations
General authorizations:
This is provided to user using a backend PFCG roles like 'SAP_CPR_USER' which contains business partner view access and other similar roles are assigned for project creation, template creation etc.,
Project Specific authorizations:
This authorizations are provided using ACL 'Authorizations' tab within the project and here you have different authorisation activities like admin, write, read & none.
As you said, the user who creates the project will get 'Admin' authorization and after that if you want give access to other users, then you need to add manually users in the project definition-authorisation tab or you can provide default authorization through project role type.
Have you added the users manually in authorisation tab?
Regards,
Ravi

Edited Project Footage Disappears

This problem developed after hours of completing several movies successfully in iMovie 5.0.2. I save the movie as I want it, close iMovie, open the file again, and all of the clips that were once in the timeline all trimmed to my liking and filled with transitions and titles are now missing with the original uncut footage in the trash can leaving behind only the transitions and titles. No plain footage in the timeline. Just effects. Where did my edited project files go?
Another thing- If the first thing I do when opening the program is hit "Play" in the viewer, the movie (with edited files and transitions as I edited them) will play, even though they're not in the timeline or even in the trash. But when I click on the timeline and then "Play," only the transitions and titles that remain in the timeline play in the viewer. I'm very confused. Can someone help?
*Also, it must be noted that this wasn't the situation the whole time. At one point when I first started, I could save and open projects in their entirety with everything where it's supposed to be. Then all of a sudden, this problem started occurring, and only with certain files. Not all of them.

I agree with Matti:

How do I render my edited project made from .VOB files?

I have DVDs that were commercially made from my own 8mm family films and I have edited the .VOB files with Adobe Premiere Elements 11. The edited project is on the time line and I have added background music to the silent 8mm films. The entire project is in .VOB files. When I try to render the project, hitting the enter button simply starts the project playing, but Adobe Premiere Elements 11 does not render the project. There is no colored line above the work area. The files are VTS_01_1.VOB. I can't get Windows Media Player to burn the project to a DVD so I can send copies to my family. How can I burn the project to a DVD that will play for my family in a normal DVD player? Will it be necessary to render the project? If yes, how do I do that? If I purchase Adobe Creative Cloud will it have something that will help me get my project burned to a DVD? Thanks.

When you are ready to burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, click on Publish+Share at the top right of the workspace.
After you click on Publish+Share, click on the Disc choice. After you click on Disc category, click on DVD in the burn dialog
which has the header "Disc:: Choose location and settings: Then you set the Burn to: field to Folder (4.7 GB) or Folder (8.5 GB).
Set your save location for the Folder that is going to be produced from Burn to:
In the folder from the saved Folder, take only the VIDEO_TS Folder from that saved folder into the free ImgBurn program
to produce your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. Please see
How to burn a DVD Folder with ImgBurn - AfterDawn: Guides
After reading those instructions, if you have any questions about them, please let me know and I will fine tune any areas that
need fine tuning.
Please let us know if this is the specific information that you were seeking.
I am not clear what you mean by
When I look at the normal choices I don't find any choice that will burn my project to a DVD that will play in a normal DVD player. Can you tell me which of the choices will do that?
This is what I would consider the "normal way"
1. Burn to: = Disc
Is Premiere Elements 11 showing your DVD burner in the Burner Location: of the burn dialog?
Does the Status: show Ready when you have you DVD disc in the burner tray?
Have you select Presets = whichever corresponds to your source -
NTSC_Dolby DVD
or
NTSC_Widescreen_DVD Dolby
or
PAL counterparts if you are in a PAL region
In the Quality Area of the burn dialog, is Space Required 4.38 GB or less and Bitrate 8.00 Mbps.
If Yes to all of the above, then hit the Burn button. You should be on your way to producing a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc
that should be playable on the computer or TV's DVD player.
Looking forward to your follow up.
ATR
Add On...There is another angle to all this which I will add as a just in case measure...you have DVD-VIDEO files on your Timeline, and I have assumed that you want to burn them to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. By any chance is your intent to burn them to AVCHD format on DVD disc?

Project Manager unable to edit project in PWA

I have a project manager(PMa) who can not edit "Some" projects in the PWA. PMb has had no issues editing projects.
PMa is a new employee and the account was created in January. PMb has been a PM since we first implemented Prj Server 2010.
PMa and PMb have the same permissions set:
Available Groups: IT Manager, Porfolio Managers, Project Managers, Resource Managers and team members.
The categories are "My Organization"
None of the templates have "Deny" set for any of the persmissions
We have 2 servers, a production server and a test server.
Production Version: 14.0.6209.1000
Test Version (Upgraded this morning to SP2): 14.0.7015.1000
PMa is having the same issues on both servers, and using different computers.
I am suspecting account corruption, is there a way to verify? If it is corrupted, how to fix.
flustrated

Hi Darcy,
When you say that PMa cannot edit some projects in PWA:
does that mean that he can edit the project in MS Project Pro?
what is the behavior in PWA? Any error message? The "Edit" button is greyed out?
Have you ask PMa to connect from another machine? Also try to run a delegation session for PMa and check if you can edit the projects from this delegation session.
Hope this helps.

Importing/editing project created in newer version of iMovie?

No.

Unable to open/edit project in project professional form PWA(project server 2010)

i have been working perfectly and opening my projects with project professional from PWA
All of a sudden,i get this error: no permission to read enterprise global file when trying to edit my projects in project professional from the PWA
i have also tried opening the project from project professional directly and it says (you do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action)
please what is the cause of this issue and what can i do to resolve it?

Hello kehinde,
The cause of this problem is somebody changed something.
To resolve, I would clear out the cache to see if that resolves anything.
Then, I would reboot system and see if that resolves.
If still no go, then I would look into security settings, and start doing some detective work. I keep a version of project server in a separate instance, that is completely out of the box, so I can have a reference point for settings.
If still not solution, then I would resave the global file settings.
Cheers!

I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

Why can't I view my edited projects in the documents after saving from PSE10?

Aftrer I work on a project and save it, it is unable to be opened as a file in the document folders on our server. I can still open and view it in the photoshop program but not on its own. Thus, I cannot attach the finished products on web sites, etc. When I go to open the file, a blank Adobe screen pops up with a message that says something like 'cannot open this file because damage has been done to it.'
We have the program on two computers in the office (the max), and this is not happening on the second computer. What happened, and how can I fix this?
This is what comes up:

I should note that this problem did not occur before, and I could open the files easily in the saved documents whether I saved them as a jpeg, etc. Now when I want to view them, I can only view them in the Organizer. In the computer Documents file, the Adobe logo shows up rather than the thumbnail of the edited product. I am not trying to attach these in an e-mail and know that if I want these as a picture I need to save it as a JPEG. But, like I said, this was not a problem before and just started happening. Even when I want to upload the file on the web site, the error message comes back at me stating that it cannot open the file.
Not only do I have problems viewing my own Adobe Photoshop files but other finished products from others when I want to save and open the file. (We have a management group that helps to create templates for certain products in our office, and that is what I am referring to.)
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
