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 with Letterbox

Anyone know how to export with letterbox in FCP? I have a widescreen image that I want to put on the web. Want to make the video 340x240 but formatted with a letterbox so I can see the whole image without it be squeezed. The check box in FCP during export for letterbox does not seem to work. I’ve tried many times.
Any ideas what to do?

You can do it using Compressor. You can start duplicating one of the existing presets and then go to the Filter options and you'll find Letterbox one.

Can i export without double quotes in data files?

How can i export without double quotes in data files using dataexport commands in MaxL?

I don't know of any way to do any formatting in a straight export out of Essbase. BSO lets you choose between a columnar vs. free form (really Essbase) format. That lack of formatting includes removing double quotes.
If you're willing to put up with the limitations (and formatting issues) of an MDX extract to a log file, that approach does not put double quotes around member names. The same is true in Report Scripts although I have a vague recollection that you can put in double quotes if you want it -- obviously you do not.
There are limitations to the above two approaches, the biggest being that they they are not as efficient as a true MaxL export. OTOH, you may want only part of a database to get exported out in which case either approach may be more to your needs.
If in fact you do want to do a full export, there are lots of OS-level ways of removing double quotes. Here's a Windows-based approach:

What would life be without hacks like the above? Probably not worth living.

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.

H.264 export without audio creates files that are not recognized in Quicktime or VLC

Dear all,
I need to generate h.264 files with video only. (short clips for use with a "clickable" catalog on an iPad)
Used the "H.264" category and chose a preset. Unchecked "Audio" so I only get the video exported.
The resulting .m4v file is not playable in Quicktime or VLC or MPEG streamclip.
When I leave audio enabled with the same preset, the file is fine, but as soon as I export without audio, the resulting file is unreadable.
Source material is ProRes 422HQ, audio+video, about 30-40 seconds long.
Any clues?
Carl.

Thanks Jeff, I did get that far ;-)
I'm sorry, probably my question wasn't very clear. Of course I can find some technical info about the iPad...
And of course some of the presets in Media Encoder provide basic starting points for encoding.
But... there is also the first iPad, I couldn't find the specs about it on the Apple site. On everymac.com I found:
Apple reports that the iPad supports "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats."
So if I want to be compatible with all iPads I need to probably stay under 720p30 with [email protected] for H.264
When I look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
I find (from the example values) that 1280x720@30p is quite near the maximum matrix size. So with 1024x576 I should be ok there. My bandwith of about 2Mbit is also well within range in this case. But what if I want to fill an iPod screen (1024x768) with the highest possible quality video? How do I calculate if this fits the max frame size requirements, where this is expressed in a number of luma samples and macroblocks? What is my max bandwith? The tables says that the "Max video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s" should be <14.000kbps. Does that directly translate to the sliders in my encoding app?
If you look in the table "AVC software implementations" (under Software encoder feature comparison) you can see that some features that are supported in MainConcept, and not supported in Qt. (8×8 vs. 4×4 transform adaptivity, Quantization scaling matrices, Separate Cb and Cr QP control, etc. What are these exactly?)
In Streamclip one can choose to have B-frames or not, in AME there is no such control. Does that mean it always encodes with B-frames? Why would one not want to have B-frames?
A lot of parameters in AME H.264 encoding seem to be set to certain fixed values that are not accessible to the user. Other programs (Sorensen, Telestream) provide the user with access to more parameters. Which parameters in AME are set to what (fixed, non-accessible) values and why?
As I said earlier, Quicktime reports different codecs for what should be the same format but from different encoders. Why? Is there a program that can analyze a H.264 stream and report about it in more detail than VLC/Quicktime?
etc. etc. etc....
If anyone could recommend an online resouce or a book to learn more about the ins and outs of H.264 encoding/decoding that would be great. I have the first edition of Charles Poynton's (brilliant!) book "Digital Video and HDTV", which does talk about MPEG-2 but not H.264. I saw that the second edition goes a bit more into detail about H.264. Does anyone have the second edition? Worth buying just for the relatively small addition about H.264?
Thanks.

Export without Markup - JavaScript Error (ExtractTemplateXML.js)

Whenever I try the "Export without Markup" function, I get this error:
"While executing onClick in ExtractTemplateXML.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: At line 78 of file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\Commands\ExtractTemplateXML.js": Exception thrown in native function."
How do I resolve this?

I know this post is old, but as I was having this issue lately, and managed to fix it - I thought I'd post the solution that worked for me, since I haven't seen it elsewhere.
In short:
Make sure there are no .zip files in the site you are exporting. I noticed my error was showing up right around when the export hit the folder where I had a .zip file.
Go through and delete all of the /_notes/ garbage folders that DW puts in your source site.
After I did both of these things, my export worked fine.

EXPort (without Mat view logs)

Hi
Oracle10g, Win2003
Is there a way to take EXPort without "materialized view logs", as these logs cause error in IMPort and some time even terminate IMPort.
It will be equally well for me if i got a way to completely exclude "materialized view & materialized view logs" from EXPort.
Some one please guide me the way to exclude them from IMP or EXP?
Wishes

Additionally when ever I IMPort a user some objects appear in non-compiled state, I compile them with my client tool, but I have to drop and recreate materialized view every time.
Can come one have an improved way to get IMPort with materialized view?

Export without Markup - How ?

I can't figure out how to export without markup. I did it
before but now can't
What I want to do is export all the site pages and
images/scripts/etc without markup
I'm using DW 8
Would someone mind explaining this to a total dummie
Many thanks :-)

html and code stuff

template but I'll make

Refer to my first reply-
Dw menu-->Modify-->Templates-->Export without
markup.
export to a NEW folder, not within this site.
Then go to menu->Site-->Manage Sites.
Make a new site definition (or duplicate the present one)
Define this new site's Local Site Folder to where you
exported the files.
You now have two sites- One for editing, with the template
markup intact.
One for uploading with the template markup stripped.
Note- the template markup is a handful of html comments.
There isn't any
real advantage to stripping it out.

Export without Title Role

What I am wanting to do is export without Text a clean Timeline. What would be the suggested route to take? Have tried turning of the Title Role and Exporting and found the text is still there. Why? Suggestions Please or even better Answers.
P.S. Please Apple, Batch Export, Soon.

what do you mean by "role."
Look at the names of the title "clips." If they're all the same, simply do a find for the name in the sequence with find all. They will all be selected and hit control-b to disable them all.
When I finish a project, I find it useful to clean up the timeline and move all titles to a higher video track(s) so it's easy to turn this track's visibility off.

Export without crop

What I would like is an 'export without crop' option. I crop the pictures I export for my clients. But for my own use in inDesign I want them full frame. I was discussing this with some of my collegues and they would love this feature as well, they said....

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
hsbn wrote:
You can create virtual copy before doing the crop. That what I've done all the time.
Exactly, and this is how to do it after the crop to clean up your history of cropping:
Select the thumbs you have cropped and also want an uncropped version and add to a collection if they are in multiple folders
Select all the thumbs in the collection
Press ctr or cmd and ' (apostrophy) or from the menu: Photo > Make virtual copy
Press R to crop and Reset in the crop panel.
Assign a keyword or label to separate the cropped and uncropped versions if required
You will now have two versions of each photo, cropped and uncropped.

Lightroom exporting without LR adjustments

I've been happily exporting my LR images, and they have always included what ever adjustments I had made in LR - crop, color, etc. Last week I needed a different cropping of an image. I made a virtual copy, then cropped, selected, and exported only to find that the exported image was the original show, without any cropping or any other adjustments.
I needed the image quickly, so I just opened PS and edited manually, then saved for web.
Today I added some images to LR, edited them, and exported. All the images were original, unedited versions. I've checked the export dialogs, and do not see any options to export without edits (as there is in the "Edit in" dialog).
This lack pretty much cripples LR for me, as far as using it for any serious work. Anyone have this experience? Or more importantly, a fix?

I've been having a similar problem recently in Lightroom. At first I thought it was because I shot an event with fill-flash in daylight and I thought my white balance was messed up because of cross contamination of light. But, since that shoot 2 weeks ago EVERY other shoot (around 1,000 images) have been giving me very weird white balance problems. Essentially, my images seem "greyish" so, I boost temp and tint, I boost vibrance, I try all sorts of tweaking until the image looks passable, but not nearly my typical color and saturation look and feel. The processed images in Lightroom still seem a bit under saturated and just "not right." BUT, when I export them... they're OVER saturated - kinda like the numbers in Lightroom tell me the image should look. So, it seems that the display in Develop mode is under saturated and "off." But, I have no idea how to correctly compensate. I feel like I have some hidden setting set incorrectly - Any thoughts? Ideas greatly appreciated. If a screen grab would help I'll try that.
I'm in Lightroom 2.5 and Camera Raw 5.5
I'm on a PowerPC Mac running OS X 10.4.11

Message was edited by: jjlevan - I came back to post a screen grab from Lightroom and the JPG which looks like the Lightroom settings you see with the tint and vibrance boosted. But the Lightroom image looks UNDER saturated or almost normal.

Exporting without red cross... Please help...

How to export without the red cross line? I am trying to export to AVI but whenever I exported, it will be red line in between the movie. I am a newbie to AE.

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.

Exporting WITHOUT the Letterboxing - any advice please?

I'm shooting on a Sony Z1 using 'Squeeze' mode but when I export to a QuickTime from FCP I still have the letterboxing within picture.
Is there anyway I can avoid the letterboxing to produce and export a full video frame for web broadcast without cropping the picture?
Thanks
Simone

Yes, you can scale your HDV or DV to a smaller size using advanced setting in Compressor. Not sure why you are working with a down convert in Squeeze. I would work in the best quality (HDV) for as long as I could (keeping in mind the limits of HDV Long GOP) and then export to Compressor using a uncompressed codec and using a custom setting to the size a web file you want. Test small files and keep plenty of notes for each then burn to DVD if this is where you are going and see what works for you.
Good Luck
