FCP in 16.9 but Quicktime 4.3??

I'm doing a project that I want in 16.9 anamorphic.
Only after the project was finished edited, I realized it had to be 16.9.
So I nested the project into a 16.9 sequence.
Now... when I export it via quicktime, the quicktime video is back to the 4.3 ratio.
How do I go about insuring the quicktime will also be 16.9
Niel

Is your broadcast agency broadcasting HD or SD?
The only way that I've been able to export my 16:9 videos to broadcast in SD and still keep the aspect ratio is to load the anamorphic video into the viewer and do the following:
1. Open the Clips' properties window (Command - 9) and turn off the anamorphic setting. Just click the check mark next to "Anamorphic" to turn it off.
2. Click on the "Motion" tab at the top,
3. Then click the disclosure triangle next to the "Distort" settings
4. Type in -33.33 for "Aspect Ratio".
5. Export your Quicktime Movie.
The resulting movie will be a letterboxed 4.3, but will keep your aspect ratio.

FCP Stops responding when exporting quicktime file still

FCP Fresh install and FCP Still fails to export quicktime file, stops responding.
I'm in the middle of a project, that really needs to be finished ASAP. Anyone out there have a solution to fix this problem, will be appreciated more than can be said.

You know Lloyd, if this is a second thread about an old problem, you are really better off in the original thread. It allows us to follow along with the problem at hand, what has been suggested and what you have tried so far and the results.
Just off the top of my head and without searching for the original thread (I'm too lazy today,) I'm guessing you might have a corrupted file or render file.
Does it always stop at the same place? Where is your media stored? to where are you exporting? How much ram do you have?
Here we go, starting all over again...

HT3775 This info is not helping. I am using VC500MAC digital video conversion system to record old VHS tapes to computer. The file is .mov, but quicktime is not playing it back. Help, please.

Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
Thanks if you will reply to me.

FCP 7, viewer clear, but canvas and export blurry

Started with screen recordings provided to me that made using quicktime 10
took quicktime 10 screen recordings and converted them to prores422 HQ in compressor (settings from compressor below)
imported into FCP 7.
They look great in viewer, reasonably sharp and crisp, but them very blurry in canvas and when I export to quicktime movie (not using quicktime conversion). Been using FCP 7 a couple years but my knowledge in many aspects is sub professional.
Tried creating a new sequence to get the sequence to match the settings of the quicktime prores422 screen capture movies but to no avail. The settings of the sequence are not the same as the screen capture movies...I even tried to change the sequence settings but no luck (then exited FCP without saving so as not to screw anything up).
Im probably breaking basic rules here...any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!

Here is additional information on the problem.
My sequence includes mostly screen captures, but also some other video (settings below) and some JPEGs. The other video and the JPEGs look fine...both in canvas and when I export sequence to quicktime. The screen captures look terrible...text is very blurry. Same screen captures look fine in my viewer, just goes awry when in canvas and export.
Format of screen capture clips (quicktime 10 screen capture > compressor prores 422 HQ):
1440x900, apprle prores 422 HQ, data rate 5.6 MB/S, pixel aspect square, field dominance none, composite normal. Started with 4 files of the screen capture from compressor, then edited them into many little pieces in FCP...the size of those files post compressor are around 2GB each.
The sequence (by default) had settings of:
frame size: 720x480 NTSC DV 3:2
pixel aspect ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV 720x480
field dominance lower(even)
quicktime compressor settings: apple prores 422 LT
Vast majority of clips are the same as screen capture clips. But just in case its part of the problem, I have also have a couple video clips of that have settings:
frame size: 720x480
compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
data rate 3.6mb/s
pixel aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
field dominance: Lower/even
also have a couple JPEGs, their settings are:
frame size 2500x2084
compressor: photo-jpeg
field dominance: none
Thank you!!! I've been using final cut a while, but don't think I would have gotten anywhere without the help and generosity of people that are way beyond my knowledge and skills. I am happy to provide any more info. I really appreciate it.

How do I export when FCP keeps crashing for large QuickTime exports?

Forum,
I have a 108-minute finished Final Cut Pro project. Ultimately, I'd like to burn it on a DVD so that it can be watched by any Joe-Schmoe using an ordinary DVD player. I'll be using DVD Studio Pro to do the burning. And before this, I plan to compress using Apple Compressor.
But...
I can't export this file to QuickTime! FCP keeps CRASHING about halfway through the process. I'm preserving the Current Settings, which, by the way, are XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR.
I have four internal hard drives used as follows:
D1 OSX and FCP
D2 audio media
D3 visual media
D4 location of FCP files and scratch disk
I also have a MyBook USB2.0 external drive available should this be of use.
Any suggestions for a viable workflow here? Should I be exporting to QuickTime first? Is my configuration doomed? Should I export straight to Compressor?
thanks,
Shanked

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT your suggested software?
Sure, but its very manual and the Corrupt Clip Finder really just automates that for you ... but I get your point about keeping things clean and can't fault that philosophy.
First, you can use the Tools > Render Manager to delete all the sequence's render files and references. Then just play through the entire sequence (in the sequence RT menu you can enable the option to Play Base Layer Only). If the corruption was in one of the render files then you should now be able to play through without issue. If the corruption is in one of the clips then you should discover that FCP will crash or throw up an error when it tries to play though that clip ... keep a note of where this error occurs as thats your corrupt clip. Similarly, after trashing renders you can re-render, keep an eye on the render progress ... the error will be thrown proportionate to the area of the timeline where the corrupt source clip is contained. Additionally, yes, you can use the Reconnect Media function to selectively reconnect your source media to your masterclips, clip by clip ... the one that won't reconnect is going to be the problem child. That's the one you need to recapture/reimport from source.
Hope it helps

Quicktime export from FCP quality bad on Windows Quicktime

Hey all,
I believe this question has been brought up in a previous post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2932763&#2932763 "Quicktime export from FCP quality bad on PCs"), but it was never answered. So I captured video using final cut pro using the following capture preset:
Sequence Preset - DV NTSC 48 kHz
DVR-TRV900 using NTSC
29.97 fps
DV - NTSC at Best Quality
24 bits per pixel
720 by 480
When I view the video under quicktime for mac, it looks good. However, when I view the content under quicktime for windows, the quality is noticeably degraded. For instance, when I looked at the video clip in mac, there was a text overlay that displayed the time and date. When I look at it in Windows quicktime, the quality has degraded to an extent that the numbers are no longer readable. Besides the overall quality difference in playback between mac and pc quicktime, there are no other noticeable artifacts. Also, I tried viewing the video in VLC (video lan client) on windows, and it looks perfectly fine.
Ray

seems like this is a PC Quicktime issue rather than an FCP issue, you may have more success in resolving the problem if you post your question on the Quicktime for Windows forum
that said, you might want to check the Quicktime Player preferences on your PC (Edit > Preferences > Player Preferences)
make sure you have checked the "Use high quality video setting when available" checkbox
good luck

FCP import: VLC, WMV or QUICKTIME

Hi,
Not too long ago I was able to important VLC or WMV files into FCP. Now I can't, can anyone tell me what happened? Is there a way to convert video files that is VLC or WMV to Quicktime so I can continue editing my project.
Many thanks,
KChen

All you need is the basic version, $29:
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_playerpro.htm
With this installed, you will be able to open WMV or AVI movies (VLC I'm not sure about) in Quicktime Player, then export to, say, DV-NTSC, which is an ideal format for working in FCP.
As to why it worked before, it could be any one of a number of reasons, but it's most likely to do with Microsoft's move to non-Mac compatible DRM'd WMV9, and the dropping of their native support for WMV on Mac. Microsoft handed over future plug-in development to the Flip4Mac people, who have actually greatly improved things. You don't need to pay anything to download their plugin and play back movies, but you have to pay to enable you to export them to other formats. But at least you only need the basic version!

ITunes won't run on Windows 7: Quicktime not found. .. But Quicktime works!

Installed latest version of iTunes 10 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. Occasionally iTunes runs, but usually it gives the error: "Quicktime was not found. Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again".
I have done this about 3 times, making sure to uninstall everything apple (itunes, quicktime, bonjour, etc.) Once I even followed a recommendation to delete all application data and reinstall. Rebooting, etc.
Quicktime runs absolutely fine.
I even tried repairing quicktime, installing quicktime by itself after iTunes was installed. No luck. Any ideas???

I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Synching in FCP - Video at 24, but final cut reading BWAVS as 23.98!!!???

Hi
I have Arri D21 rushes transcoded to Apple Pro Res HQ at 24fps. I'm attempting to symch with seperate sound but for some reason the rushes are out of synch.
When I drag the audio into a blank seq it seems to want to read the audio as running at 23.98 fps instead of 24.
If I drag the audio in a seq set up for 24fps video a green process bar appears on the audio!
The audio is running at 48Khz at 24 bit integer, they are broadcast wavs.
can anyone out there help me?

Then you did it right. Delete the audio, then change settings.
The audio doesn't have a timer in it. Neither does the video.
The video contains a specific amount of frames, regardless of how many seconds/minutes it took to capture those frames. The audio has a specific number of samples, regardless of how many seconds/minutes it took to capture those samples.
One minute of audio will always match one minute of video, as long as the sequence settings match the acquisition settings. The problem I see often is that people confuse the video frame rate. 24p is not 24 true, it's 23.98. And when people say they shot 30 frames per second, usually (but not always) they mean 29.97. These are not subtle differences, they are monumental.
So don't go by what someone told you. Open the clips and audio in whatever program you need to get the exact file specs. I tend to use MPEG Streamclip; if you go to FILE/Show Stream Info you'll get accurate specs on the true rates of both audio and video files. Quicktime Window/Show Movie Inspector will give you most of what Streamclip gives you, but not all.

Im trying to install itunes but quicktime will not allow it due to an update, i have downloaded the update but it wont install. ive tried everything i know to do. any suggestions.

i have been trying to download and intsall the latest version of i tunes, however i tunes will not install because quicktime is not up to date. I have downloaded the version of the proper quicktime update but it will not install. i need suggestions on how to fix this. this is my first mac its an old ibook g4, and i have limited computer knowledge.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

ITunes has encountered an error but quicktime isnt broken

Ok so everytime I try to open iTunes i get a message that says "itunes has encountered an error and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" but my quicktime opens with no problem.
soo my dad said i shouldnt make a new account unless i absolutely have to.. so i havent ahhahh but his account is an administrative account and the iTunes opens in his account no problem, but of course all my songs and ipod stuff is on my account.
Tell me if you still need me to make the new account and I will.
Thanks for your help

hi Cecelia!
(warning in advance, this is experimental territory.)
hmmmmm. okay, sometimes with these weirder "open in one account but not in the other" errors, the problem is to do with registry permission settings. it can sometimes be a bear to track down which particular settings need to be checked. the Stejskal family (who couldn't get either itunes or QT to launch in some of their accounts) managed to get itunes and quicktime working in all the accounts by editing permissions in the following way:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=810602
the trick for me was getting up the nerve to "fiddle" with the registry...the reason why the girls could not get access to iTunes/QT was down to permission...once I got one going I went back in to HKEY-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\apple computer, inc\Quicktime...click to highlight go to edit, permission and added the missing girls to the list of who is allowed...made sure they have full permission..apply, ok and "bobs your uncle" all is now well in stejskal home.
since in your case (unlike the stejskals) QT is actually launching in your account, the relevant permissions may actually be fine for QT, but not for itunes. so some investigation of the actual registry permissions on your PC may be required. it might be wise to start by comparing and contrasting the permissions in QT and the permissions in itunes, for example.
(probably something that you should get your father to experiment with, though, if he's the only person with an administrator account on that PC.)
if no joy with that, let's try experimenting to see if itunes will open in a new user account for you.
keep us posted.
