FCE Custom Sequence Dimensions?

I've got a video that is 776 x 592. Can I edit this in FCE without changing its dimensions?

No, you can't. FCE is a fixed resolution editing application, DV or HDV.

Where is the "Sequence Preset Editor? I need a custom Sequence size.

On Page 1011 of the PDF manual for FCE 4, it says:
"You can also choose to use the existing settings of the clip or
sequence you are exporting, or create customized settings in a custom Sequence
*Preset Editor*." Where is that?
I cannot get any Export mode to output the same resolution size as my screen capture movie is. Its 1036x778 recorded in AIC codec, so FCE likes it fine.
It seems using the fixed Sequence presets pixel sizes is working against me. I think if I bring my 1036x788 into a Sequence that is 1036x778 I wont get the squishing and distortions of another size. Telling Export to make output 1036x778 never works as it works on the Sequence size not my video size.
How do I get a custom sized Sequence?

or create customized settings in a custom Sequence
Preset Editor." Where is that?
FCE does not have this feature as Karsten indicates.
FCE uses fixed pre-set Sequence sizes and cannot be changed.
If you select any Easy Setup you will see the sizes in the fine print.
The info is probably a copy/paste goof up from the FCPro manual.

Help with Custom Sequence Settings

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to assist me with a question I have regarding custom setups and timeline rendering?
I am working on a sequence of still images (.*tiff files) in a custom timeline that I've setup to match the resolution of the 30" Apple Cinema Display (2560x1600).
Up until this point, whenever I work with high resolution (*.tiff) images in a 1920x1080 sequence, the images are often twice the resolution 3840x2160 and do not require any rendering. They automatically scale to the dimensions of the timeline and everything is just straight forward.
The problem I'm having now, is that whenever I drop a 3840x2160 image into my custom 2560x1600 sequence, the image still scale to fit the sequence, but I immediately get a solid red bar across the top of my timeline and cannot figure out why I need to render everything. All of my sequence settings are the same with the exception of the dimensions and interlacing disabled.
Here are the sequence settings:
Frame Size: 2560 x 1600 Custom
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
QT Video Settings: Apple ProRes 422 (no interlacing)
If anyone knows of a way that I can setup a custom sequence such as this without having to render everything right from the start, I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to do this...
Thanks!

My guts say, you can't. RT Extreme is the technology FCP uses to playback without rendering. It likely is only turned on for standard video resolutions. (i.e., those that are shot by video cameras or electronic cinema cameras - like RED 2k). That might be the largest you can work with without rendering. It's 2048 X 1152 for a 16:9 image... Just guessing, but bet I'm close to right here. Filling your CD though will not be a standard video size at all, because it isn't 16:9... it's 16:10 so might not be able to do what you like to see I'm afraid without rendering.

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

"...in a custom Sequence Preset Editor."

On page 1011 of the Final Cut Express User Manual, in the section "The Export QuickTime Movie Command", in the second paragraph, it suggests that there is a way to create a custom Sequence Preset. I quote:
"You can also choose to use the existing settings of the clip or sequence you are exporting, or create customized settings in a custom Sequence Preset Editor."
I desperately want to create a custom sequence preset. The last video I did for work I did at 1920 x 1080. The video is going on the companies site at 576 x 324. So I would rather just work in that size. But I cannot figure out how to create a sequence that size. Dose such a "Sequence Preset Editor" exist? And, where would I get one?
Any help offered here would be most graciously welcomed.

I don't really know what it means by that. However, in the paragraph before it it says:
+"You can use this command to export Final Cut Express clips or sequences with their current settings or any of the sequence settings available in Final Cut Express. This command allows you to choose settings based on sequence presets in Final Cut Express"+.
I can only assume that it means you can take the file into another program like Compressor to choose more settings instead. Or maybe it is referring to Quicktime Conversion, which gives you more options in exporting...
Maybe someone else will know, but for now I am puzzled.

Adding Custom 1 dimension to all Balance Sheet and all PL accounts

We added the Custom 1 dimension to all Balance Sheet and all PL accounts. Previously we only had a the Custom 1 dimension added to a few PL accounts.
Now it takes a very long time to consolidate and we are getting warnings in the log files as follows:
One example:
The Node cube Scenario = Actual, 1, Year = 2009 2009, Entity = MS_UKD 589, InputValueID = USD 17, contains 110182 records
We are consolidating a month that does not have any data in the product lines for the accounts where the product lines were added.
Is this slowness in consolidation to be expected when doing this?
Is there any rule or best practice to adding the custom 1 dimension to a volume of accounts?
Thanks!

Essentially, customs are more like sub-accounts than extra dimensions. The warning you got is not new, but this may be the first time you've noticed it. The node is a subcube that must be completely loaded to RAM on the server to do the consolidations. Take your accounts and multiply by custom 1 to see how many additional records are going into the sub cube (2797 x 232 = 648,904). You may want to have your DBA watch the server as you consolidate to see how many resources are being used and if he/she can tweak some settings to help out.
That being said, my system has 6000 accounts, 2500 custom 1, and 1000 custom 2, but only 600 entities total in 3 hierarchies. Our full consolidation takes an hour, but doing only impacted for the current month takes about 20 minutes.

Custom Sequence Settings for Split Screen

Hello all,
FCP 6. I am doing a split screen where I am combining two 720x480 videos side by side. I did the whole project by scaling down both videos to match whatever the sequence settings were. How can I create a custom canvas/ sequence size to avoid scaling down the frames and cutting on the image quality?
I created a custom sequence setting doubling the width to 1440 and keeping height at 480.
Can I copy and paste the clips from the old sequence without the scaled down quality to the new sequence? How can I do that?
If I open a new sequence is the new setting going to be in effect?
Any other suggestions on how to deal with custom size frame/ split screen?
Thank you!

Dear Jim,
Thank you for help! Does make sense. I did all like you suggested. After removing 'basic motion' and pasting into new sequence, the clips appeared big default size instead of small. I re-applied motion attribute like you said, but isn't it scaling down again since I am sizing from big to small (50%) again?
It looks good on the screen but I am not sure about actual resolution of the clip. In clip-item properties-format I read frame size but I am not sure if this info is about the source file or the clip.
I would like to get around this issue without scaling down (keeping the scale in motion tab at 100%).
The way I tried to deal with the scaling and res before I got your answer, was after I changed the 'global' settings for the custom 1440x480 sequence, and after creating a new sequence, I went to sequence settings again (from top menu) and set to custom (1440x480) (with just global settings the pasted clips looked like before). After copying and pasting with removed attributes-distort, all was in the original right/left order normal size and resolution.
The way I tried seems to meet my need (as pasting attributes-motion to all again would be complicated as the design of the project does not stick to the clearly left/right pattern but fluctuates back and forth at times and there is too many short clips).
The only problem I have now is with the RENDER.
After I rendered what I did to your suggested solution and mine (two sequences), the whole project shows in low res. I checked the render settings in Sequence-Render Control, and both resolution and frame rate are set to 100% so I dont know what I do wrong.
Any suggestions??
THANKS!!!

Realtime Custom Sequence

Is it possible to edit in realtime with a custom sequence.
Something like this:
Custom sequence 25fps 640x360
Source footage: DVCPRO HD 1080/25p
without realtime it is quite annoying to render all the time.

Hi -
In simplest terms, the way to get realtime editing is to have the sequence settings match the properties of the source footage.
In your case, I would suggest editing your sequence in this way, by setting the sequence to the same properties as your source footage. (The easiest way to do this is to create a new sequence, then edit a clip of your source footage to the timeline - FCP will ask you if you want to have the sequence match your source footage, click yes and you are good to go.)
Then, when finished editing, export a quicktime movie of the sequence, load that in Compressor, and output whatever frame size and codec you want from there.
Not only will this give you realtime editing, it will create a full quality master file which can be re-compressed later to deliver whatever format you need without having to re-edit.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom Mobile: can photos be custom sequenced?

Can photos in a collection in Lightroom Mobile be custom sequenced? Alternatively can the photo sequence a Lightroom 5.4 collection be preserve when it is synched to Lightroom Moble for iPad?
Custom photo sequenced are required for the slide show feature of Lightroom mobile to be of any use.

The choices for image image within Lr mobile are: capature time, modification date and file name. I'm not aware of any way to customise the order/sequence of images within Lr mobile. That being said, renaming files in Lr desktop to reflect your preferred sequencing will be honoured by Lr mobile when file name order is chosen from the collection drop down panel.

Deleting custom Period dimension members

Hi,
We are in Planning 11.1.2.1. and we created custom period dimension members (while creating application). Now we would like to delete one of those members (whcih is at level0). Obviously we don't see an option of delete in planning web interface. One option is to recreate the application but is there any way we can delete this member in oracle database. If yes, it would be great if you can provide us the table details.
Thanks,
Siva

As John suggested it is not advisible, however you can delete in Essbase using Planning:
1. Edit custom dimsion
2. un-select all plan type
3. cube referesh
Hope this will help.

101.60 smallest value in custom file dimensions

I have photo lab that provides 150mm*100mm paper. When I try to put in Custom File Dimensions in Print Job in the print tab I get a number between 101.60 to 2540.00 is required. Closet value inserted. Is it mapping to my local printer? I cannot understand this? I use the export function in library part I can export to 150mm*100mm papers. For me printing is (to jpg) sending to photo lab in town. Is the any workaround?

Annoyingly, the custom size thingie has a minimum size of 4 inches. I cannot understand the reason behind this. You can circumvent it by simply selecting a lower ppi for the output. So if you want to print a 2 inch wide image at 300 ppi, you simply set the width to 4 inches and give it 150 ppi in the file resolution field. Remember that the only thing that matters is the number of pixels in the file. The lab will scale it correctly for you to the actual paper size. Also, the lab actually scales a little different from what you see as they have to have a small bleed around the image to avoid white borders.
Lastly Dorin is right that the lab machines in Europe actually use imperial sizes even though they quote the sizes in rounded metric units. So 10x15 is in reality 4x6 inches or 10.16 x 15.24 cm.

Customizing sequence views on multiple PC's

I have customized the execution view of my sequence editor to display test step limits (hi and low), and module execution time.
I would like to know how to "copy" these settings to another test system (PC), without having to go through the manual process of setting up the view on each test station PC?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jim

What Adam posted will work for a User Interface, if however, you are wanting to do this for the sequence editor, I think the sequence editor saves this setting in the layout
file. There is a current_layout.bin file in the same directory as
specified above. Or you can use the Sequence editor options dialog - UI
Configuration tab to save and load specific configurations. It saves the layout files to a directory underneath the cfg directory (usually either C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Cfg\SeqEdit or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National
Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Cfg\SeqEdit depending on your OS).
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Variable Sequence Dimension

I'm contemplating upgrading to CS4. Is it still the case that all sequences in a project have to be the same dimension? That's one restriction I would love to see go away :)
Cheers,
Veronica

CS4 allows you to create each seq with different frame sizes / sequence settings. Which in turn also allows new functionality of importing individual sequences from other projects, rather than entire projects.

Custom Sequence Resolution in FCPX 10.1?

I've been told that FCPX 10.1 does custom timeline sequence resolutions, is there truth to this?
I am composing a 3:1 ratio video.
Thanks for any advice!

Yes. Pick any shape and size you want under 4K. Frame rates are fixed to video standards.

How to make a custom sequence load when a new sequence (Ctrl+N) is clicked

Hello,
I have certain fixed steps to be executed for many test sequences at part of Setup and Cleanup group. I have created sequences for each group(init.seq and Release.seq) and called them in another sequence (Template.seq)
If Template.seq opens when I press Ctrl+N, reoccuring activity time can be saved.
I have tried adding Template.seq in Template Tab but that too requires deleting MainSequence(which gets create when Ctrl+N is pressed) and then adding this Template.seq from template tab.
You find the sequence is the attahment
Is there is way to meet this requirement?

Anand,
there is no way i know of to change the New Sequence File menu bar option to spawn a custom template sequence file instead of an empty one.
What you can do is to provide a tool you add to the TestStand tools menu.
