FCP export to iPhone aspect ratio changes 16:9 to 4:3 Help!!!

I have been having this problem a lot lately I need the 16:9 aspect ration for iPhone but exporting through quicktime like I have for the last year now gives me 4:3 i don't know when this happened, obviously from a software update but I haven't done an iPhone export for a bit.
Old way of exporting to iPhone
File>export>Quicktime conversion>iPhone = iPhone.h264 file in 16:9
New way to get the same thing
File>export>Quicktime Convesion>Quicktime Movie
Then Open the Quicktime movie outside of FCS in the stand alone Quicktime Program and re-export
File>Export>Movie to iPhone
extra work where there used to be none any help with this???? Very Annoying!

Open the file in QuickTime Player. Press command and J keys together.
In the pane that opens, click on the "Presentation" button then on the "Conform Aperture to:" checkbox.
It should automatically select "Clean" and your movie will change to widescreen format (you can always choose this manually if it doesn't happen automatically).
Save your movie -or "Save As.." if you prefer to make a copy, as opposed to overwriting the original.

  • Export from FCP as H.264 aspect ratio changes from 16:9 to 4:3. Please Help

    I have DVCPRO HD 720p60 selected for my timeline in FCP.
    My footage is also DVCPRO HD 720p60.
    Frame size, Compressor and Pixel aspect between my sequence and the clips match.
    I can export an m2v just fine.
    When I export a quicktime 7, H.264 300kbs file I get a stretched image (+33 aspect).
    My question is: How do I export an H.264 without altering the aspect ratio?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    D.

    Keep in mind that DVCPRO HD 720p is 960x720 (non-square pixels). If you are exporting to H.264 make sure you set the frame size for the export to 1280x720 to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio with square pixels.

  • Why when I export does my aspect ratio change?

    My camcorder is a Canon HDV 30 and any time I export a Quicktime movie using either current setting, compressor native or 1920/1080, the aspect ratio gets messed up...typically going 4:3.
    Does anyone know what export setting you use so that the exact resolution and aspect ratio the camera shoots in...gets exported as that.

    Ok, that makes sense. In fact I just did an export using 1440x1080 and it worked out perfectly. Thanks very much for all the information.
    Just as a side note, what does it mean to display it as 1920x1080 when it's shot in 1440x1080? Why doesn't it display it as 1440x1080?
    Thanks Tom,

  • FCP exporting 4.3 aspect ratio to compressor

    I am exporting a project in 16.9 aspect ratio to compressor and it is outputting a file that looks like 4.3.  In the inspector it reads project as 16.9, any suggestions?
    Catherine

    I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
    Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.

  • Aspect ratio changes?

    I have edited a short film shot entirely in 16:9 on a 4:3 timeline (unaware I was doing so). So when I export my "widescreen" film, it is a 4:3 video with black bars on the top and bottom. So what I thought was if I create a new project, use "DV-NTSC Anamorphic" with the Easy Setup option, and create a new sequence, my entire film will no longer have black bars at the top and bottom. It will just be a 16:9 video. Well, I was wrong. In the new setup, every single clip is "squished", and it looks like if I wanted to fix it, I'd have to go through every single clip, re-import it, and have an adjusted aspect ratio... and I don't want to do that. Is there an easier way?

    How is the Aspect Ratio changing?
    Was the shooting Mode changed on the camera, between scenes, say from Standard to Widescreen? That would be a change in PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but would show up the difference in the Project.
    Also, are you in PAL-land, or NTSC-land?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    Hi Hunt, no the shooting mode was the same - wide screen, dv cam pal

  • Pasting problem between sequences. Aspect Ratio changes. Help

    Hi. I'm fairly new to FCP so be patient with me. I shot HD using the Panasonic format 1080i. I transferred the footage from the SDHC cards using Apple Pro Res 422, 1920x1080. Everything was going fine in editing until I tried to copy and paste clips from one sequence in the timeline into another sequence. The aspect ratio changed in the clips I pasted. I tried to figure out what to do by looking at Sequence Settings and Clip Properties but to no avail.
    Any suggestions? I am building separate sequences and then need to paste these together to make a QT movie or DVD for client so need help asap. I've previously worked with JVC HD cams using the 720p24 codec and never had this trouble when cutting and pasting.
    Help!!

    This is not weird at all. One sequence is set to use square pixels (1920x1080) the other is using non-square pixels (1440x1080).
    You need to fix the non-square pixel timeline.
    The simplest to understand method to fix the non-square sequence issue is to create a new sequence with the proper settings then copy your material over from the non-conforming sequence.
    To get a new sequence with the proper settings (if you have FCP7) all you need to do is "create new sequence" then drop one of the clips into the new empty timeline. If the settings do not match, when the program asks you if you want to change the sequence to match the clips, say yes.
    Then select all the clips in the non-conformed timeline and copy and past them in the new correct timeline.

  • Aspect ratio changes in PPro CS4

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    When I export a project to a final video, the aspect ratio changes at different points in the video for no apparent reason.  These videos are typically under 10 minutes in length.  I use the same camera without changing any settings for every project and capture to PPro CS4 using the same settings for every project and using the same hardware.  And yet, I end up with different aspect ratios across a single video.  I have no idea why.  Some of my output clips have never had any titles, special effects, imported clips, or anything else that I think might cause a change in aspect ratio.
    Can someone shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks, Stan.
    I just posted a draft video on Youtube for a client last night.  Not sure if viewing a clip of what I see will help you but I suspect it will.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_hzhCeCGR0
    If you go to about 4:34 in the clip you'll see it change over to a different aspect ratio.
    This sequence was exported directly from PPro CS4 to FLV.  The FLV file was uploaded to Youtube.
    I'm editing this morning and just came across this same issue again.
    I'm amazed that none of my clients have mentioned it yet.  Of course, I'm not making Hollywood movies - these are just short videos people send out to college coaches.
    Thanks,

  • Re: Aspect Ratio changes Mid Shot ?

    After cutting a 20 minute film on FCP exporting through Compressor 3.0 and finishing on DVDSP the final film looks great except it changes Aspect Ratio intermittantly and very randomly. Orignally I thought it changed from 4:3 to 16:9 but the Aspect changes are more subtle; like 4:3 to 5:4
    The FCP Settings are
    Frame Size - 720 x 576 Aspect Ratio CCIR 601 / DV PAL (5:4)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio - PAL CCIR 601 (720 x 576)
    Field Dominance - Lower (Even)
    25 fps (I'm in Australia)
    The Compressor Settting are (and this is SD DVD by the way)
    Format - M2V
    Width & Hieght - Auotmatic
    Selected : 720 x 576
    Pixel aspect ratio - PAL CCIR 601
    Crop: None
    25 fps
    Aspect Ratio : Automatic
    Selected: 4:3
    Field Dominance: Auto
    Selected: Bottom first
    Average data rate: 6.2 (Mbps)
    2 Pass VBR enabled
    Max data rate: 7.7
    High Quality
    Best Motion estimation
    Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong with Compressor?
    Thanks in anticipation,
    Marv

    I solved my own question by exporting the project first as a QuickTime movie (not self-contained which is much slower & unnecessary for this task). I then put this through Compressor. Problem solved.
    I found this answer by reading about similar questions on this forum & viewing a few tutorials on Compressor. Grateful thanks to this fantastic forum that seems tp answer any query I put to it.

  • Can aspect ratio changed?

    I'm importing from a Canon Vixia HF20 that exports a 16:9 aspect ratio. I would like to export my movie from FCP X in 4:3. Can't find out how to do this. Can I? (The Canon can't be changed, I don't think...)

    Make a standard defintiion 4:3 project and edit your material into it.

  • Cropping aspect ratio changes randomly

    Each time I crop a new image, the aspect ratio seems to change randomly. Sometimes it will pop up as "Do Not Constrain." Sometimes it will appear as 4x5. Or 2x3. Etc. You get the idea. I have no idea why it's changing. It's very disruptive to the workflow. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    I encounter the issue on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac.

    Thanks, Stan.

  • Aspect Ratio changes Mid Shot ?

    After cutting a 20 minute film on FCP exporting through Compressor (2 pass VBR) and compiling on DVDSP with an Aspect Ratio 4:3 and Standard Definition resolution, everything about the playback of the resulting DVD is fabulous except the it jumps (intermittantly) from 4:3 to 16:9.
    Any clues how to remedy this problem?
    Thanks in Anticipation,
    Marv

    Dang, I feel a little silly.
    I've just worked out this is a compression problem.
    I'll now put it to the hard core Compressor Users on their pages.
    Thanx

  • Exporting to WMV: Aspect Ratio Issue

    I am working with .mts files on Final Cut Pro 5 that need to be exported as WMV files. The original files are 1440 x 1080 and I convert them to .mov using Voltaic. Everything works fine in FCP, but then when I export them using Quicktime Conversion, the aspect ratio gets funky. I set it to Custom: 1440 x 1080, yet when I play it back in either Finder or Quicktime, it plays in the wrong aspect ratio, at 4:3.
    Is this something that I'm doing wrong - a wrong setting or wrong aspect ratio? Or is that just how it plays back in Quicktime?
    Also, any recommendations for settings to get the best quality? I've been doing two pass VBR; what's the best bit rate to use?
    Thank you in advance!

    I copied the images into PS and layered them with transparency. All of the images are stretched on what appears to be their long dimension.
    I'm guessing it is an incompatibility between "Matt's Multi Photo Grid" template and LR 3.5, but the template works fine on my Windows Vista 64bit system with LR 3.5.

  • Export Frame - Pixel Aspect Ratio

    The video in my timeline is 720 by 480 (1.2121). When I clip on "Export Frame" in the program window it exports a jpg that is 720 by 480 (0.9091)
    I know I can right click on it and "modify - Interpret footage" and correct the pixel aspect ratio.
    My question is "Why is it doing this and how can I correct it"?
    Is their a setting I'm missing? Why does it change the pixel aspect ratio?

    The jpeg is not square. The pixel aspect ratio would be 1 and not .9091, if it were.
    I have two computers. On one the "Export Frame" exports the jpeg with the same pixel aspect ratio.
    The other machine changes the pixel aspect ratio from 1.2121 to .9091.
    I can't find any differences in my settings.

  • Exporting 3:2 aspect ratio ntsc avi

    Hey can anyone tell me how I can export 3:2 avi from FCP 5? It seems it will only let me export 4:3 in ntsc

    more info needed, what codec are you outputting to? what is the frame size? what is the pixel aspect ratio? how is it being delivered?
    needless to say 3:2 is not a typical "pro" broadcast aspect ratio ... rather, 4:3 is a typical for SD, 16:9 for HD
    if you're a self-help 'explore my options' kind of guy, then have a look at the Export > Using Quicktime Conversion >> Format: AVI >> Options and/or Export > Using Compressor

  • Export from Motion/Aspect ratio in Quicktime

    I have created my first HDV (1080i60) graphic in M3. When I export as a quicktime movie, the preview that M3 generates at the end of the export looks perfect - when I open that movie in Quicktime, the whole thing is squished together. I assume this has to do with pixel aspect ratio - I just can't figure out where the fix is here because the pixel aspect is obviously set correctly in my Motion project (1.33) Is there a setting in quicktime that I am missing that is causing the playback of my Motion animation to appear squeezed?

    Yeah, sorry, I should've included that the inspector in Quicktime says that both the "Normal" and "Current" sizes are 1440x1080. This is no huuuuggggeee deal, I just wanted to show some people the graphic using just quicktime. I eventually am going to import this into an FCP sequence, but I would like to have this portable version to show on quicktime.
    +Quicktime maybe doesnt see this and is showing it at the correct pixel size without adjustment+
    Not sure what that comment means - the correct pixel aspect is the one coming from Motion (1.33) Is there really no way to just bring this project into quicktime and play it properly - without looking squeezed? I feel like I should be able to find some preference in quicktime that lets me switch from viewing square pixels to viewing anamorphic pixels.
    Thanks a bunch Adam.
