Exporting 16x9 video

I have imported footage shot in 16x9 format and have tried to export it from FCE but have only been successful one time. I read the other posts and the link to http://www.fcpbook.com/Video8.html and http://www.fcpbook.com/Video9.html but I cannot duplicate the one 16x9 Quicktime Movie I created. I purchased Quicktime Pro so I could adjust the video scaling as mentioned in Video 9, but it still isn't working.
Here is a step-by-step account of what I've tried:
1) Export movie using Quicktime Conversion
2) Selecting Options and Size, modifying it to Manual 853x480
3) When I open it in Quicktime Player Pro, it is still letterboxed, so I choose Show Movie Properties, Select the Video Track and turn off the preserve aspect ratio (the Scaled Size is already 853x480) the red close window button becomes solid as if waiting for a save dialog button to be pressed, but there is not one and so I close out the properties window and the video is still letterboxed.
I greatly appreciate any assistance. My sister is anxiously awaiting her wedding video and I am frustrated at the effort it is taking in FCE to do this when iMovie HD handles 16x9 without problem (but not more than one video track!).
Thanks.

Sounds like you didn't make a new sequence after you changed the easy setup and edited in the original 4:3 sequence.
You can make a new 16:9 sequence and copy and paste the material from the old sequence to the new. The clips will however be distorted. You'll have to remove the distortion from the Edit menu. Other things like graphics and stills may have to be fixed as well.

  • Exporting HD video from FCE to iDVD

    I'm finishing my first project with Final Cut Express and want to be sure I'm exporting my video correctly for iDVD.
    I imported my NTSC 1080i video to FCE using the Apple Intermediate Codec 60-frame interlaced setting. Edited the video and it looks good.
    I've rendered the video and mixed down the audio. I then exported a QuickTime reference .mov file and added that to my iDVD project.
    When I look at the preview of the movie in iDVD I'm seeing a lot of interlacing lines. Ouch! Will this burn OK or am I in trouble? When I watch the reference movie on my computer it looks fine with no interlacing problem. I'll be making a test burn this evening but the suspense is killing me!
    Every reference I've found says to do this just as I've done. Did I miss a step? Is there something else I should do for HD material? Should I use QuickTime Conversion in FCE to make a standard def 16x9 movie and use that for iDVD?
    I've made lots of DVDs from HD material in iMovie and never had a problem.
    Thanks for your help!

    Not sure about what settings to use, but wanted to remind you that iDVD has a Save As Disc Image option which creates a virtual DVD on your desktop. You can mount and play this on your Mac just like an actual DVD (using DVD Player). So it's a cheap and precise way of previewing your video in standard DVD format.
    You'd Copy the disc image to actual media using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility. The only differences between the two videos would be the result of viewing on a different monitor/TV, or errors introduced during the copy/burn process (typically bad disks or bad quality disks).

  • Capturing 16X9 video

    I have a professor at the University where I work who brought me several miniDV tapes with video shot in 16X9 Widescreen. This is a first for me, as I have never captured 16X9 footage. I remember when I used Adobe Premiere in the past you would be given a choice to select 16X9 or 4X3 in the inital setup menu. I can not find anything like this in Final Cut. I started to capture the footage and the video appeared "smushed" in the 4X3 preview and source monitors. A co-worker suggested Final Cut would automatically resize the footage when it is exported.
    My question is, do I need to do anything to set up Final Cut correctly for capturing 16X9 footage before I begin? Also, I am assumming that when I export to Compressor, if I am using 16X9 footage I would select the "DVD Best Encode 120mins 16X9 option........or will this crop the footage if I select it? I am using Final Cut Studio 1, Final Cut Pro version 5, (haven't upgraded to new version yet) on a Power Mac G5. Can anyone tell me how to capture and export 16X9 footage correctly, maintaining the original aspect ratio?
    Thank you so much for the help.

    Final Cut WILL NOT RESIZE ANAMORPHIC VIDEO!
    anamorphic video is a 16:9 image "squished" and placed in a 4:3 frame size. you can edit the footage in an anamorphic sequence but when you export the sequence it is still 4:3. it depends on if you want to view it full frame on a wide screen tv or if you want to view it on a standard TV. If you are going to view it on a standard 4:3 tv then I suggest you edit the sequence in the standard NTSC 4:3 frame size. this will give your 16:9 footage a "letterbox" look when viewed on a 4:3 TV. if you are going to be viewing your footage on a widescreen tv then edit the sequence anamorphic. you will still need to adjust the exported quicktime movie to the frame size you wish. dealing with anamorphic video can be a real pain, since you need to know how it will be viewed. good luck.

  • Exporting 16x9 Without Black Letterbox

    Hi everyone--
    I would like to export a 16x9 video as a quicktime without the black letterbox. Is there anyway to do this? All exports I have tried export the video in a 4x3 frame with black letterboxing.
    Thanks!

    Was the material letterboxed *in the camera* and edited on a 4:3 timeline?
    or
    Was it shot as 16:9 (aka anamorphic ) and edited on a 4:3 timeline?
    If the first instance, Andy's solution of cropping is the only way to go.
    If the second instance, put your material in a 16:9 sequence to edit it.

  • Lots of problems when exporting widescreen video

    I've had similar problems to this before, but for now I'll just describe my current situation.
    I shot a bunch of green screen footage in HD using a Canon XH-A1. I captured at 1080p in a 1080p HDV sequence. Everything was shot 16x9 HD using the camera's default HDV settings. I did add matte bars to give the film an artificial 2.35:1 look, though.
    I had no problems with the edit at all, but when I attempt to export the video for both DVD and H264 for YouTube, it all gets crazy.
    The first noticeable problem is that Premiere keeps cropping the sides of my image. If you switch from 'source' to 'output' in the preview pane you can see that portions of the image on the sides are missing. If I use a 1080p preset it looks like nothing is cropped, but for YouTube I need to do 1280x720 w/ square pixels, and for DVD I need to do 720x480 and with either of these options selected, the cropping begins.
    So, my first question is, WTF is up with this cropping???
    Another problem I'm having is that when I finally get the image to fill the entire 16x9 frame (through various tweaks in the many different presets - I'm not entirely sure what all I did), layers are arbitrarily moved around and thereofore placed out of sync with where they should be in my composites. Also, I always nest my final edit's sequence into another sequence so that I can crop the image to match the 2.35:1 bars (if you don't do this there's always a tiny little bit of the image underneath your matte bars that shows through when you project it).
    Wtf?
    Here are some visual aides:
    Premiere cropping the sides on WS output:

    Anybody know what's up?
    Thanks!

    Well, I've figured out a work-around for now...
    It seems that PPro is having trouble nesting a 1080p sequence inside a 720p sequence and/or outputting a 1080p sequence to to anything other than full 1080p or 720p with anamorphic pixels at 960x720 (instead of 1280x720). I don't get it, but I found a way to get what I need... it just takes a while.
    I was able to export my film to 720p H264 with anamorphic pixels. I then made a new project with a 720p sequence setting and dropped in my newly encoded 720p video. With the new project I was able to export the 720p video to any format I wanted without any of these cropping issues.
    I'd still love to know what causes this.

  • I am trying to export a video I have made in FCP 10.0.8 to Youtube or to a master file and I keep on getting an error -50, or "error exporting master file at frame 20074" Any ideas?

    Having used FCExpress for a while I decided to give FC Pro X a trial, I created my first video with it, exported to youtube and it worked fine.  I am now trying to export my second video to youtube and I get an error -50 which means absolutely nothing.  Not being defeated that easy I tried exporting to a mster file using the H.264 codec and I get an error "exporting master file at frame 20074" - again another useless error.  It takes at least 10 minutes to get to this error after the rendering has started, it gets about 12% in.  Any ideas where to start - I am seriously at the point of giving up with Final Cut Pro X simply on the basis of it being more trouble than its worth - I am just glad I did not pay for it yet...
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Gerry

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
    I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec.  I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi MyAppleID99,
    You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Help with exporting Minecraft video

    Hello. My name is Reynir Aron. I make Minecraft videos and I recently switched from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro CS6 and I love using Premiere.
    However there is one little problem, when I export the video (even if I do it through Media Encoder) the video looks very smoothed out (for example the text looks really crappy and isn't pixellated).
    Can anybody help me? The video is not being scaled up, the source video, my sequence and the export settings are all 1280x720.
    By the way, is there any plugin or anything that lets me export using QuickTime Pro 7?
    Here is a screenshot of the output I get:
    This also happens if I check "Use Maximum Render Quality".
    This is what I see in Premiere's Program window:
    I have an iMac8,1 (Early 2008) with a 2,8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB and I'm running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

    I think my daughter is using FRAPS, but of course not transcoding, just putting that right into Premiere. If your captured file is 30fps, what is the transcoded ProRes file? I don't know if ProRes supports non-video settings, so maybe that is converted to 29.97? But then the edit sequence is 30fps, and I do see an issue - FIELDS is set to LOWER, but should be PROGRESSIVE. That could be causing the jaggies issue on your output.
    How did you create the editing Sequence? Try creating a NEW SEQUENCE with the same settings, except make it Progressive, then copy/paste contents of interlaced sequence into the progressive sequence and then Export again, see if that helps. Or just do a short sample to check, to save time.
    Thanks

  • How do I export a video without a heavy blue cast

    I use imovie 3. I can download and edit my movies. The finished product looks good on the computer. However, when I export, the video has a very heavy blue cast even when viewing on the computer. But, if I export as an email or web file then the colour is ok but the quality is poor. I would like to copy some of my videos on to cd's with correct colours. Any ideas??

    You can only export in the same resolution that you imported.
    That is if you shot in 720p you cannot export in 1080p.
    Share > YouTube and select the highest resolution available.

  • How can I export a Video without making it darker than the original file?

    Hi there!
    I'm working on a footage shot with the Canon 5D and since the first step in the post I exported the raw footage with Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and worked with it in After Effects and later on FCP and then the usual Color and Compressor. But somehow every time I exported it, it got darker and darker... I tried using Animation codec instead of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and it didn't get dark but the files are HUGE and in the end I have to export the video in H.264 for internet. Does anybody out there have any idea what should I do and which compression should I use and how?
    Thanks a lot!
    Davi

    When you say you exported the raw footage... are you working with native H.264s in FCP?

  • How to export a video at a moderate certain format and size in premiere CC 2014: No Huge File Results!

    I have the latest version of Adobe Premiere, CC 2014 but whenever I want to render and export a video that is typically 70 megabytes in size I can't seem to always see how big the file will end up being for all the formats and I don't want to end up with a video larger than 250 to 300 megabytes in size just for the extremely best or highest quality even though I want the video to be well polished and in better quality than I usually get thee, These videos are usually imported as mp4. What file version of mp4 or otherwise would give me an originally imported video of 70 megabytes an output of no more than or around 300 megabytes or even less without compromsing video quality? I don't want a huge file size as I am uploading it to my YouTube channel via their web interface on another person's machine and they don't have Premiere and only has a DSL connection. So what video output settings should I use for a good quality video that isn't smaller than the original but the same size or a bit higher and not extremely large like MOVs and sometimes mp4s usually are depending on what you do to it and it is outputted.?

    Export
    Format: H.264
    Preset: YouTube (make sure this matches the dimensions of your sequence)
    You could further adjust the Target Bitrate but the preset is already setup for a good quality file for upload.
