Exported 4:3, looks like 16:9 in iDVD

I finished a project in FCP in 4:3, burned a QT that is 4:3 (720x480), and brought it into iDVD.
I tried using an iDVD theme that is widescreen (and keeping my 4:3 aspect ratio when prompted to choose 4:3 or 16:9), and I made sure that 4:3 was selected in the iDVD project information; but the iDVD preview and burned DVD were 16:9 and distorted.
I then tried using an older iDVD theme that is 4:3, checking the project info again; but the preview, and DVD burned, were again 16:9.
I thought this might be an iDVD problem, but now I'm thinking it might be an exporting thing in FCP. I've been trying different ways (QT Conversion rather than QT movie, double checking all settings) to export, but haven't solved yet.
Any ideas?

The only way I could resolve this was by trial and error, and oddly, when I removed the 5 seconds of music under the intro title, the project was recognized as 4:3 in iDVD. I checked the specs of that music, and the source, and neither were unusual (original was @ 44, but was converted to 48 in FCP sequence before exporting QT). So That's how it got solved, sort of.

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

  • Export from AVCHD looks like THIS: (image embedded) I've tried EVERYTHING

    I'm using a Sony HDR-XR500V and importing using Apple Inter. Codec 1920x1080i60 in log and transfer and in "Canvas" in FCE, it looks GREAT, the motion is perfect.
    However, no matter how I export (this was Export with Quicktime, uncompressed, size 1920x1080, but I've tried EVERYTHING) it looks like this. In Quicktime, I can hit "de-interlace" but it ghosts instead. I've tried de-interlace in exporting too.
    In the original AVCHD files, and in Canvas on FCE, I can read the writing on everything, and I have not yet been able to export in any format where I can read the writing on the stones.
    The exported files look like this on my PC as well... HELP!
    PS... this was an image export from QT.

    Well, as I said, it's not like that in the original AVCHD files, nor is it like that in the Canvas on FCE, so what do you mean when you say "That's the way the material is shot."?
    I'm exporting my edited project to a file so I can stream it to my Sony Bravia TV in 1080.

  • Why the exported JPG file looks like completely black?

    I've already exported a PDF file by Indesign, but when I exported it to JPG file (by Acrobat), the JPG looks like almost compeletely black. But When I exported it to PNG, or Open this JPG by PS, and save it again, the image looks like normal (no black). This is PDF creating problem ( by indesign) or JPG creating problem (by Acrobat)?

    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
    You can try to search for a theme that looks better for you or maybe a solid persona with a suitable color.

  • Export doesn't look like Preview mode...

    Can anyone fill me in as to why this happens? Once I export to HTML and place it on my ftp making it live the bottom portion just goes bonkers. If I look at it locally it is fine.

    Hello,
    Please try uploading all files again to the host to check if this is an upload issue. You may also want to export as HTML from Muse and then trying an external FTP client like Filezilla etc. to upload the site files and folders to the host.
    If this doesn't resolve the issue, please have the host reset your FTP permissions and then reupload the site.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Exports suddenly look like double-widescreen (in FCE)

    Please, help. After many successful 16:9 (SD) exports, they suddenly look like a 16:9 w/black bars inside a 16:9 area that already has black bars (looks like a double-widescreen effect). Hopefully, this is just a setting that needs to be reset somehow. Thank you for any help. ---TMP-MAC

    Problem solved. Thanks to all for considering this one. Just needed to place a check-mark in "Anamorphic" (in sequence properties) BEFORE I captured any widescreen video. Now the canvas will look right (solid gray bars - one set only), and my exports look right (one black bar at top and one at bottom, and subjects are not flattened between them). Never saw anything like this in any instructions anywhere, unfortunately.

  • I have a desktop iMac,within a yr old, I had iPhoto 9,downloaded to iPhoto 11, now lost my export to Shutterfly link, & looks like all my photos went to thumbnails, with poor resolution...help!!

    I have a desktop iMac OSX 10.6.8, had iPhoto 9 & downloading software update to iPhoto 11, (9.1.5??) I can't find the way to reset up the "Export to Shutterfly mode" and it looks like all my previous photos went to a thumbnail size...with now poor resolution. If I would have know my pictures were going to turn into poor quality pictures, I never would have done the software update.  Need a real person to talk to. This complicated method is not user friendly.

  • Help me-Export HDV to WHATEVER looks like utter garbage!

    Hi,
    I'm currently on FCP Studio 2, latest software updates, Tiger, PowerMac Dual Core G5.
    I'm editing HDV 1080/50i material. Like all HDV, there's a few spots where you can see chroma noise but overall the footage looks quite good.
    Now, what I used to do (in FCP 4.5 and 5) is export to Uncompressed HD 25p 1920X1080 and use that as my master for whatever later compression/tape dubs I would need to do. That workflow was excellent and my Uncompressed HD master was 100% to my HDV footage in my FCP timeline.
    Now, first of all, I don't seem to have Uncompressed HD anymore in FCP, only Uncompressed PAL/NTSC which defaults to SD resolution. Second, no matter WHAT I use, the video that comes out look like garbage. The whole frame is littered with gigantic squares and colors look lie, a bad gif. I did exports to targa image sequences and they are the same.
    What the ****, is this normal with FCP 6?! Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Paul Riggott does not visit here these day and his site was hacked his new site is http://www.ps-bridge-scripts.talktalk.net/
    He has many fine scripts there some for saving layer to files.  One ot them may do what you want. It also may depend on how adjustment layers would be saved to a file for they don't contain pixels all the is in and adjustment is data I believe what type of adjustment should be made and the setting are recorded in the layer.

  • Exported images have extra noise that looks like stars

    Hello all, I don't know what Ive done but since I upgraded to Lightroom 5 I have a problem. I use it for images of the sky but now when I export, Ive tried tiff, jpeg and PSD, there is  a great deal of noise that looks like thousands of extra stars and ruins the images. The images look great in Lightroom but not when I export. Can anyone offer some advice please. I'm struggling. Geoff

    Are you sure to optimize your detail settings while zoomed into the image at 1:1?

  • Progressive dvcprohd footage to dvd export  - looks like youtube !

    this is gonna need a compressor / dvd studio pro guru to
    I have been searching the internet / forums etc etc for hours - have tried heaps of suggested settings but just cant get a good result - I am on a brand new mac pro quad core - the latest Final cut studio with all latest software updates.
    my fcp timelines look beautiful - cinema desktop preview looks great.
    sending to compressor from my dvcprohd ntsc progressive fc timeline - using settings under the dvd tab - mpg 2 and ac3.
    but after running through compressor:
    i am getting hideous stair stepping. Any small line on the screen that crosses the horizontal at an angle (ie not flat) looks awful.
    The video looks like youtube. washed out - no macro blocking - but stair stepping / herringbone is off the scale-after reviewing the dvd and raw mpg 2 files both on the monitor and on a tv.
    As far as i can tell -There shouldnt be any interlacing issues because interlacing shouldnt happen - i shoot and work progressive all the way through my work flow - and all my sequences are set up as progressive at the correct frame rates.
    is this a downscaling issue?
    the format is set up correctly with frame rate and progressive settings matching my source
    after trying the standard best quality settings and getting youtube results:
    i tried: cbr 7 mbs , (its only 42 mins of video) - from my limited research on the forums it appears that cbr at a high bit rate works better for top quality dvds than vbr 2 pass - which seems counter intuitive. please correct me if i am wrong. 2 pass vbr at similar bit rates gives me no noticeable improvement in quality.
    frame controls on -resize filter better
    output fields same as source
    deinterlace fast (i really dont know why this option is there as i am working prog all the way through
    but i suspect compressor may be trying to deinterlace my prog footage?)
    adaptive details on and off have bene tried
    100% duration relative to source.
    I have been trying for 3 days to get a good result and am literally pulling my hair out. I have 8 test dvds - nothing looks right.
    i suspect a bug in compressor - i have read a few posts about similar items - have tried a few suggested settings - and they havent worked. Am considering looking at another product (bit vice / sorenson) if i cant get this resolved - but maybe i am missing something simple.
    i am even reading about people getting better results through IDVD... which would indicate a compressor bug- perhaps..

    Try exporting from FCP timeline to selfcontained QuickTime file first, and processing this file with Compressor. Report if there is any difference, please. I am asking because I just found similar bug considering HDV 1080i50 format.

  • Exported movie looks like crap

    I exported a 1080p home movie from iMove HD and it looks like garbage, pixelated and everything. The way I did this was: Share > Export using QuickTime. Then in the Options area I clicked on Size and selected 1920 x 1080.
    After nearly 3 hours of export time, and a nearly 1 GB file size, it looked like crap.
    So I tried it again, this time trying 1280 x 720, and it looked MARGINALLY better, but still not HD looking. What could be the problem?

    When you shared as "Export using QuickTime", did you then select the Export option "Movie to QuickTime Movie" and if so what Settings, for example, Apple Intermediate Codec, H.264, MPEG-4 Video or other. Perhaps you selected the Export option "Movie to MPEG-4" - not "Movie to QuickTime Movie". We need more details as to your Export options and format settings - there are many to choose from. Just saying that you used "Export using QuickTime" doesn't provide enough information unfortunately.
    One critical consideration when exporting using QuickTime is the _Data Rate_. If this is set too low (when the option is presented) you will get poor results - "crap" as you say! I would suggest starting at a minimum of 5000 kbits/sec (5 megabits per second) and moving up from there until you see the quality you are seeking.
    Anyway, if you are still there, please provide more information about your settings - particularly regarding the format (codec) and data rate if possible.

  • Export of noise reduction does not look like Develop preview

    Hi,
    I have a photo that has noise reduction applied, however, after export, it looks as if NO noise reduction has been applied.  Other photos look like they have the noise reduction applied.  Not sure why this one would refuse to export the noise reduction filter.  In the Develop preview, it looks great, no noise. After export, noise.
    Different but possibly related, On all photos, I noticed that the noise reduction preview in Develop doesn't update unless I zoom-in/zoom-out, then it updates it. But if I make any adjustments to the slider it doesn't update until I zoom-in/zoom-out again.  This seems like a bug.

  • Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
    When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry.  I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
    Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
    The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
    TECHNICAL ASIDE:
    rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
    rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
    In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

  • How do I make Flash not look like it's not responding?

    When I run a JSFL script that is pretty intensive and in depth, Flash opens up but doesn't draw itself, and lists "not responding" in the window title bar.
    My question is how can I make Flash look like it's alive (either have output show up in the output window, or have the stage update to the current frame that is navigated to from JSFL script, or put up some dialog box like the export movie progress bar)?  The script sometimes takes about 20-40 seconds to run and the user may think that it's actually crashed.
    I print out times of all my processes and functions, and eventually I get an output that seems reasonable. I thought printing output might help, but there doesn't seem to be a flush command for it that will force it to be written out.
    Thanks.
