Export in HD 1280x720 16:9 without letterbox

I use a Canon HG20 and want to fit YouTube's widescreen with no letterbox but I can't seem to export in HD without a letterbox. A tutorial video said to use these settings
Key frames - Every 30 frames
Data rate - Restrict to 1800 kbits/sec
Dimensions - HD 1280x720 16:9
Deinterlace source video
This is what I use, but there's a letterbox and there isn't supposed to be. It messes up the dimensions very much. How can I export with no letterbox?

AHA! That would be your problem. The actual clip is 1440x1080, but you were using a 720x480 DV-NTSC sequence. When HD media is placed in a SD sequence, it is scaled down and letterboxes are added.
Here's what you have to do:
1. Select the sequence in the browser.
2. Go to +Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset > Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60+. Select it and click OK.
3. Now you drag your 1440x1080 footage to the sequence and edit, etc.
4. Export using the 1280x720 settings described above.
Unless I am very much mistaken, this should fix your problem.

  • How to export 16:9 for auto 4:3 letterboxing?!

    I am editing for a TV show and the TV station says that I need to have it formatted for 4:3 and 16:9 BUT they said they only want it in 16:9 HD and to export it so that it will automatically Letterbox when played on a 4:3 TV! Now I don't see how that would be something I would do in exporting, but more something they would at the TV station! I'm not sure if anyone has any ideas or any knowledge it would be incredibly helpful!

    You have a lot of mixed messages here, but the most critical is "they said they only want it in 16:9 HD".
    Basically you'll deliver 1920x1080 or 1280x720 depending on the station.
    The reference to "have it formatted for 4:3 and 16:9" likely is for title graphics. This is called center-cut safe, keeping graphics inside a 4:3 title safe area within the 16:9 image. Center-cut safe is almost always a requirement for broadcast since the image can be viewed in several different ways depending on the station and receiving television settings (which are out of your control).
    A 16:9 HD image will automatically letterbox on a 4:3 television IF the owner of the TV has set it up to do so (typically the default). Neither you nor the TV station has control of how the owner/viewer sets up a TV. A 16:9 HD file can not be created to automatically letterbox, that is a function of the TV.
    Now, one situation that may change all these interpretations of your mixed messages is delivery in Europe. I believe Europe prefers a 16:9 image squeezed into a 4:3 anamorphic format that when displayed on 16:9 TV is widescreen and on a 4:3 TV is letterboxed. The main point of confusion between that possibility and your statement above is the 4:3 anamorphic can NOT be High Def.

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

  • Apex 3.0: export a report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?

    In Apex "Report Attributes page/Report Export" is possible to define the Enclosed By field.
    The default Enclosed By by characters are a double quotation marks (" ").
    Is there a way to export the report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?
    Example line format:
    a) using default Enclosed By
    "value1";"value2";"value3"
    b) using ('') as Enclosed By
    'value1';'value2';'value3'
    c) using blank space as Enclosed By
    value1 ; value2 ; value
    d) without any Enclosed By character
    value1;value2;value3
    What can we do in Apex to export a report as .csv file with the line format example d)?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    There is no Out of the box feature in Apex to achieve this functionality. But what you can do is write a page process to generate the CSV that you want.
    For this what I will do is on the first page where you press the Button it will call a PL/SQL page process which actually generates the csv. You can keep the existing report only for display purposes. Find the below process which generate the csv that you require.
    begin
    -- Set the MIME type
    owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
    -- Set the name of the file
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.csv"');
    -- Close the HTTP Header
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    htp.prn('columnHeader1,ColumnHeader2,ColumnHeader3'||chr(13));
    -- Loop through all rows
    for x in (
    Select column1,column2,column3 from table;
    loop
    -- Print out a portion of a row,
    -- separated by commas and ended by a CR
    htp.prn(x."column1"||','||x."column2"||','||x."column3"||chr(13));
    end loop;
    -- Send an error code so that the
    -- rest of the HTML does not render
    htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; --You can leave out this line if you still want to display the existing HTML report.
    end;
    This will show a download box, so you can download the csv file. The page process should be called before header and the condition should be the button press.

  • Export 16:9 to 4:3 without constraining

    Is there a simple export setting for doing this(I have comperssor as well as fpcpx), The video I have is a screen capture of a 16;9 monitor displaying a 4:3 presentation. I'd like to export the video in 4:3 without constrainging it but simply cutting off the black bars on the left and right side. I'd like to be able to do it without importing it into a 4:3 timeline (which does work) becuase I'm using multicam to sync a few things)

    You can use MPEG Streamclip to export cutting off the black bars. Use Export to Quicktime and adjust the output size and the crop values accordingly.

  • HD 4:3 without letterbox

    I have a canon hv20 camcorder that only records HD video in 16:9.I was wondering if there was any way I could convert those 16:9 files to 4:3 without letterbox and without warping the image,in other words to zoom in to the center thus eliminating the black bars and also some of the image to the right and left.I have Imovie version 5.0.2.I noticed that there was a pan and scan Imovie plugin by Virtix but they don't seem to be selling it anymore.I also tried a plugin called Simple Zoom but that didn't work for some reason.Any help here would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you're wanted to crop your video, take a look at MPEG Streamclip. It's not the main purpose for the software, but I've noticed the capability for cropping.

  • Exporting in vertical 1280x720

    Hi, I have some HD video in 1440x1080 and I need to get it exported in vertical 1280x720. The camera was on it's side (on purpose)! But this was the upload instructions from the site it's going too.
    What's the best way to go about this?
    Many thanks

    There is a way to work with nonstandard frame sizes in FCP X, as is detailed here:
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial
    You basically have to generate a clip (really, it can be anything) with the desired size, then import it into FCP X.
    You open such a clip in its own timeline (control-click, "Open in Timeline") and edit your content into it.
    Don't create a project, just edit inside the clip's timeline and export from there. Projects can't have arbitrary sizes, but clips can.

  • Exporting to 640X360 without letterboxing

    Hello All,
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with my query. I have a camcorder with both regular and widescreen recording function.
    I want to export files in Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows XP) as either a MPEG or WMV with a frame size of 640X360, a rate of 29, and a quality of 90%. It is important that the exported file does not have any black bands either on the horizontal or vertical. The picture must fill the frame. I have been pulling my hair out over how to do this this for days now without success. Any suggestions?
    Best
    Matt

    >either a MPEG or WMV with a frame size of 640X360...
    If the height has to be 360 your only option is WMV. For MPEG you can make it either 352 or 368 (divisible by 16).

  • Export without letterbox

    I have seen similar questions throughout the discussions, but none of the answers seem to be working...
    I am trying to export a quicktime file (H.264 compression) that was shot in 16:9 with an XL2 and I cannot get rid of the letterbox. I have adjusted the "Size..." setting (as the user manual suggests) a bunch of times (720X405, etc...) and still keep getting the letterbox when I view the exported file.
    Basically I would like the export to look like the widescreen trailers that you seen on the web (like on apple's trailer site).
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for youre response.
    Does exporting with a letterbox and then cropping later degrade the quality? The only solution I have come up with is to remove the distort attribute under remove attributes for each clip, and then scaling it correctly under the video track of the quicktime export... it just seems like there should be an easier solution. And I am not sure if this method degrades the quality more than it should...

  • Export HD to DVPAL without letterboxing or crop?

    I've made a short film on HD 1080 for a festival; now the organisers want me to send them an MPEG-2 DVD quality film or .mov in PAL 720x576...but they've instructed to send in original aspect ratio...not to crop or letter box.
    My theory on PAL etc is a little wonky, but is it possible to export from FCE to a DVPAL format, preservinf 16:9 without letterobox? Isn't 720x576 5:4?

    Oh and also, I need to have the file less than 100MB. MPEG STreamclip is compressing to DV
    pal with right aspect ratio but file size is 229 MB...the limit data rate option is greyed out for DVPAL compressor. What can I do?

  • Need help ASAP exporting 1280x720 video as 720x480 letterboxed w/ timecode

    Hello. I'm using FCP 6.0.4. I have a video that is 1280 x 720, 24FPS, Sorenson Video 3 compression. I need to add an academy leader to this (the leader video file is 29.97FPS, Apple Motion JPEG A, 720 x 486), add a timecode filter using timecode reader (I know how to do this part), and get the finished video exported as a 720x480, 29.97FPS, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC video with the correct aspect ratio for the original video file. Every time I have tried this so far I get a 720x480 with the timecode but the picture looks stretched horizontally.
    Please help with this ASAP as I am a student working on my final project and I've already lost several days trying to figure this out.
    THANK YOU!

    Create a standard definition project (In easy setup choose DV or DVCPRO Anamorphic) > copy and paste the HD timeline on the newly created timeline and export.
    If in QT player you see a stretched image, don't worry, that is normal when QT plays non-square pixels (anamorphic).
    Hit command J (QT Show movie properties) > Click on presentation tab > Conform aperture > Clean or Production.
    If this video is not for the web or generally for computers do not save the change as your movie will look absolutely fine when in DVDstudio you'll choose a 16:9 display mode.

  • Want to export movie so people can watch without downloading quicktime

    I've made a friend a movie but she wants to watch it on her computer without downloading quicktime...what can I export the movie in so that people do not have to download quicktime.

    another, 'internal' option is:
    in iMovie: share/Export using Quicktime
    select in the drop-down mpeg4
    click option
    select in the drop-down h.264
    select a resolution
    select a bit-rate according this resolution, example: 1280x720 should be at last 6000 kbps ...
    such a h264.mp4 is fully compatible with Windows based systems of the last 4-5 years, or Linux, or on mediaplayers such as XBox or Playstation3, or Android phones, or ... etc ...
    keep in mind: long project, large resolution, high bitrate = file sizes of 50, 100, 500 MBs or even more!
    the upload-to-YouTube-option is imho the most convenient way.
    YT allows in its settings to make uploads 'private', so not the whole world is laughing about your attemps of skiing but just your invited friends and family ...

  • How can i export (render) or view a composition without background

    I have a 3D moving object composition with a black background.
    I need to export only the object with no background.  Like the gray\white checkers background, that allows you to export only the object.
    So after that i can plant it in an editing software (without using chroma-key)
    In other words - How do i get the gray\white  squares neutral background?
    Thank you.
    Lola

    You have an preset in your render cue for Lossless With Alpha. That's all there is to it. If you open the video in a media player it will show a black background, but if you import it into a NLE it will have transparency. These are basic AE skills. Please read the help files or search transparent background in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE to learn more.

  • Can't export anything except 1280x720

    I'm using FCP 6 and have created a 720x480 timeline on which I've edited a 3-minute video. The problem is no matter what setting I select to export a mov file, it exports at 1280x720. I can't use Compressor because I need a mov file.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    IN FCP, go to the menu File > Export > QuickTime Movie . . . and when the export dialog box opens, make sure  your settings are set to Current Settings and you have Make Movie Self-Contained checked.
    Export your movie. Open the movie in QuickTime 7 and once it is open, go the menu Windows > Show Movie Inspector. Look at the Normal Size, not the Current Size and see what the actual exported file dimension are.
