Export from FCP as H.264 aspect ratio changes from 16:9 to 4:3. Please Help

I have DVCPRO HD 720p60 selected for my timeline in FCP.
My footage is also DVCPRO HD 720p60.
Frame size, Compressor and Pixel aspect between my sequence and the clips match.
I can export an m2v just fine.
When I export a quicktime 7, H.264 300kbs file I get a stretched image (+33 aspect).
My question is: How do I export an H.264 without altering the aspect ratio?
Thanks in advance for your help.
D.

Keep in mind that DVCPRO HD 720p is 960x720 (non-square pixels). If you are exporting to H.264 make sure you set the frame size for the export to 1280x720 to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio with square pixels.

  • Aspect ratio changes from quicktime

    Hello,
    I have edited together a video in Final Cut Pro (a simple slideshow comprising mostly of still photos) and made a quicktime that is 720 x 480. When I play it in the quicktime player it looks fine, but once I drag it into iDVD it looks elongated from left to right as if iDVD is stretching it to make it letterbox-shaped. I have made slideshows in iPhoto and dragged them into iDVD without encountering this problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Sounds like this could be the result of the square vs rectangular pixel story. iMovie and Quicktime can appear to stretch each other's video since iMovie's frame is 640x480 and Quicktime is your 720x480. Try sending it out of FCP in iMovie size.

  • How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive.  How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

  • Exporting flash movie in 4:3 aspect ratio

    I need to export my flash movie so the aspect ratio is 4:3.
    However, the few compression settings I have chosen have resulted
    in really poor quality video. The setting that looks perfect is
    DVCPRO HD 720p60, however the dimensions of this is 1280 x 720, and
    since i need to post this on the web, the dimensions need to be 720
    x 480. I've tried compressing the video in Compressor, but once
    again, the quality is crap.
    What is the best 4:3 compression setting to use in order to
    get optimal video quality?
    I have Flash 9 and Mac OS 10.5.4

    That is how the studio supplied them. This is not an Apple TV issue.

  • Aspect ratio changes?

    I have edited a short film shot entirely in 16:9 on a 4:3 timeline (unaware I was doing so). So when I export my "widescreen" film, it is a 4:3 video with black bars on the top and bottom. So what I thought was if I create a new project, use "DV-NTSC Anamorphic" with the Easy Setup option, and create a new sequence, my entire film will no longer have black bars at the top and bottom. It will just be a 16:9 video. Well, I was wrong. In the new setup, every single clip is "squished", and it looks like if I wanted to fix it, I'd have to go through every single clip, re-import it, and have an adjusted aspect ratio... and I don't want to do that. Is there an easier way?

    How is the Aspect Ratio changing?
    Was the shooting Mode changed on the camera, between scenes, say from Standard to Widescreen? That would be a change in PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but would show up the difference in the Project.
    Also, are you in PAL-land, or NTSC-land?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    Hi Hunt, no the shooting mode was the same - wide screen, dv cam pal

  • Pasting problem between sequences. Aspect Ratio changes. Help

    Hi. I'm fairly new to FCP so be patient with me. I shot HD using the Panasonic format 1080i. I transferred the footage from the SDHC cards using Apple Pro Res 422, 1920x1080. Everything was going fine in editing until I tried to copy and paste clips from one sequence in the timeline into another sequence. The aspect ratio changed in the clips I pasted. I tried to figure out what to do by looking at Sequence Settings and Clip Properties but to no avail.
    Any suggestions? I am building separate sequences and then need to paste these together to make a QT movie or DVD for client so need help asap. I've previously worked with JVC HD cams using the 720p24 codec and never had this trouble when cutting and pasting.
    Help!!

    This is not weird at all. One sequence is set to use square pixels (1920x1080) the other is using non-square pixels (1440x1080).
    You need to fix the non-square pixel timeline.
    The simplest to understand method to fix the non-square sequence issue is to create a new sequence with the proper settings then copy your material over from the non-conforming sequence.
    To get a new sequence with the proper settings (if you have FCP7) all you need to do is "create new sequence" then drop one of the clips into the new empty timeline. If the settings do not match, when the program asks you if you want to change the sequence to match the clips, say yes.
    Then select all the clips in the non-conformed timeline and copy and past them in the new correct timeline.

  • Aspect ratio changes in PPro CS4

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    When I export a project to a final video, the aspect ratio changes at different points in the video for no apparent reason.  These videos are typically under 10 minutes in length.  I use the same camera without changing any settings for every project and capture to PPro CS4 using the same settings for every project and using the same hardware.  And yet, I end up with different aspect ratios across a single video.  I have no idea why.  Some of my output clips have never had any titles, special effects, imported clips, or anything else that I think might cause a change in aspect ratio.
    Can someone shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks, Stan.
    I just posted a draft video on Youtube for a client last night.  Not sure if viewing a clip of what I see will help you but I suspect it will.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_hzhCeCGR0
    If you go to about 4:34 in the clip you'll see it change over to a different aspect ratio.
    This sequence was exported directly from PPro CS4 to FLV.  The FLV file was uploaded to Youtube.
    I'm editing this morning and just came across this same issue again.
    I'm amazed that none of my clients have mentioned it yet.  Of course, I'm not making Hollywood movies - these are just short videos people send out to college coaches.
    Thanks,

  • I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

    I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

  • My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve .....

    My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve  this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

    I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

  • HT4211 I'm not able to download apps from App Store. It never downloads and it shows waiting status.can somebody please help me resolve this issue

    I'm not able to download apps from App Store. It never downloads and it shows waiting status.can somebody please help me resolve this issue

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

    You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

  • Dear All, I'm using Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall and I want the email alert from my Firewall if the CPU increase more than 70 %. Is it possible, Please help me. Thanks Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    If can be done but you need any network management software. I personally dont think you can ask your ask to send mails. ASA can trigger alert to a SNMP configured server which will intern send mail to you

  • XML file from '08 has a different aspect ratio in FCP 6?

    I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it. Using Imovie to recognize the files works fine, the problem is that when you export from imovie '08 into FCP via xml, it imports fine, but I get a display issue with black bars surrounding the footage, only in the canvas. It appears fine in the viewer and in it's own sequence in the timeline. But when you mix the different camera footage together, the other being the Canon XH A1, it appears as a different aspect ratio??? What the? and for the life of me, I've re imported using 16:9, no difference...I have no idea what's going on.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You should really take this to the Final Cut Pro forum as the codecs and the interface is different for Final Cut Express.

  • Importing from iMovie 08 to FCE4 - aspect ratio!!

    Hello All,
    I have clips recorded in iMovie 08 (captured from built-in iSight cam) which I'm trying to import into FCE4. Using the standard FCP XML export in iMovie and opening in FCE4, the aspect ratio of all clips is lost.
    I am using the built-in iSight cam to record a video blog (please don't give me flack about not using a dedicated cam), is there a way to preserve the 16:9 aspect ratio from iMovie? I have used the motion settings on the clips to attempt to restore the original aspect ratio (-33 seems to be close), but this seems terribly unscientific and mostly guess work. Thanks.

    In the browser (view as list) check the Anamorphic Flag associated with both the imported clip and your sequence: both should be set. My guess your sequence is not 16:9, in this case you only have to set that flag in the browser to fix it.
    Setting Aspect Ratio = -33 in the Motion tab restores the right proportions of the original video but creates top and bottom bands in a standard 4:3 video and reduces the original video vertical resolution. The anamorphic flag, instead, fixes the video aspect ratio without losing video quality.
    Hope it works
