FCE help PLEASE

I posted this as an iDVD thread too, but I would appreciate more help here, too.
My problem is that I have a Canon XL2 which is supposed to have beautiful quality, and it does when I watch it on it's LCD screen and when it's plugged directly into my TV. But when I edit on Final cut express HD, export to a quicktime file and then burn it on iDVD and watch it on the same set, the picture is washed out and horribly compromised. I've tried it on the highest output settings but the picture is the same, and ontop of that, it will strech a 16x9 image to 4x3. The possibility has occurred to me that apple may not support the XL2, but they do sell it in their store. Please post any advice you have, anything will be helpful
thanks

Google Anamorphicizer. iDVD doesn't let you set the widescreen flag. I don't know if this has been fixed in iDVD6.

  • Audio track just stopped playing in FCE - help please

    I'm editing video and audio for 4 interview sequences. Three days ago, they all played back just fine from the timeline. Now, the audio tracks on one of the sequences is dead - the waveform is there, the tracks aren't muted, the tracks aren't locked. It's driving me crazy!
    Any ideas?

  • Frames w/Text-like u can do in Windows Movie maker- Help Please

    not referring to Titles. I want fames with text in them, sentences and short paragraphs. I was on this forum until 2:30 am trying to find similar and only 1, referring to typewriter that is in wmm they said on the old HDimovie download which isn't availabe and was 2006 anyway.
    Where is the feature? How do I do it like in Windows Movie Maker
    Also- how do I add portions of letters to videos, cut them out in paintshop save them a jpeg and upload as pic to insert into movie and make the viewing time longer so people can read it.
    I need frames with just type , not just titles.
    HELP, please.
    Thank you

    it takes 3 apps' to do it, and *****,, they don't all fit, u have to plan ahead, and u can't edit them in the timeline like u can with windows movie maker, and found out they had this imovie HD6, and took out although had to paste in text still meaning using another app for some of them.
    I can't believe apple took it out to force you to buy FCE.
    downdloaded HD6, but it not importing movies already imported to iphoto 09 that then imported to imovie 09, the cutting, editing clips is easier in '09, and I can;t find video turials on 06, except to pay for, only pdf hard for me to read take in alot of type, brain shuts off, neuro problems and brain damage.
    just abbout had it with mac and which had sent it back in time, they said give me $500 to keep it, then didn't give that much, i think big mistake for me.
    i sitll tryin to hold on abit here, i just posted in iphoto as well, fed up with it, it got it for imovie'09 doesnt even ahve the features i need, they took them out, everything drag drop import here there and everywhere.
    not impressed.
    but thanks for help, yeah already did that, the crappy key notes got in my vid, and on desktop, 3 app's to do ot it and drag/importhem them al over kingdome come to do what is so simpiple in wmm, and hd6 it appears.

    Hey DATAMUZIK.
    Are you opening Logic from the Dock/Applications folder? I had a similar problem when opening Logic, having worked on a project who's file had gone a bit 'wobbly' (my Logic opens up the project file that I have worked on last).
    Try opening the application from an old project file that you've not had any problems with before, it might not work but will be worth a try.
    Good luck,
    Lou.

  • At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc..  How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

    Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this.  Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

    You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds.  Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

  • I have just updated my PC with version11.14. I can no longer connect to my Bose 30 soundtouch via media player Can anyone help please

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

  • Photoshop Elements 6 on Mac help please !!!!!

    Hi there,
              I need help please !!!!!
    I have PSE 6 for my imac and bought myself a NIKON D60 so far so good. I have installed PSE 6 which comes with ADOBE Bridge CS3
    I have bought a book as well as I am new to photoshop and in fact DSLR cameras.
    I have got my photos into Bridge OK by the way they are JPEG format. According to the book I can open the JPEG in camera RAW by either selecting the JPEG and then pressing cmd+R or by selecting the JPEG and select open with and camera RAW should be available to selct.
    I cannot get of the options to work any ideas please
    Secondly I have taken some photos in RAW format and put then into Bridge again I cannot get the camera RAW interface to open with these neff images.
    If I try to open the image PSE 6 opens and gives me an error that the file format is not supported by PSE 6
    Am I missing something here as I have been trying for a week now !!!!!
    Sorry if this comes across a stupid question but it is new to me
    Chris      UK

    There's no "theory" about it. You should be able to open a raw file from bridge by double-clicking it, but it will open in ACR in PSE. You can't just use ACR within bridge in PSE, if that's what you're trying to do. To open a JPEG in ACR, go to file>Open in PSE and choose Camera raw as the format after you select the file but before you click Open.
    If you've correctly updated ACR, bridge should show you thumbnails of your raw files. If it doesn't try emptying the Bridge cache.

  • Photoshop CS2. Help please.

    Approx 8 years ago I purchased Photoshop CS2 online from Adobe. This past weekend I had to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1), and when I logged into my Adobe account just now to obtain my serial number and enter it after I attempted to download CS2, it said invalid serial number. Help please.
    Both tech support and the online chat person were not able to help me.

    The Activation Servers for CS2 and prior have been taken down. See the link below for an explanation and solution. Be sure to follow all directions, including using the new download serial number supplied on the page.

  • Creative live cam voice help please

    Help please,
    We are using the "live cam voice" model, with our computer (Vista 32bit), that appears to work OK, but after a few minutes we get the BSOD! We have tried un installing and re-installing drivers without any effect.Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it.
    Regards,
    Arthur

    Thanks for your response. I have tried 3 ports so far, all with the same outcome. One of my sons had it happen to him on another computer (XP SP2) using this webcam . As to programmes open at the same time, I am not computer literate and have no idea what programmes were running on each occasion.We use the webcam for Skype and apart from that I may also have IE open and perhaps Outlook Express. Over and above those CS4 sometimes.
    If I cannot resolve this, can any one suggest another webcam please.
