FCP X 10.6 how to change resolution after creating a project??

Hello Everybody!
Im a fairly new FCP X user and trying to do my best to understand everything.
My problem is that im working on a project where i have most of the video  shot in 1280 x 720  29.97fps resolution, i also have some pictures, titles and graphics, but when i check the general properties of the project it says 640 x 480 29.97fsp. I guess when i started the project this setting was selected instead of 1280 x 720 and i didnt noticed. So my question is, How can i change the resolution from 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720 after the project is already started on
the Timeline???
I dont want to render the project on that resolution at the end since its very low, so i REALLY need to find a way to increase the resolution.
Thanks in advance!

The only way that I can imagine that you could have inadvertently created a 640X480 sequence is that one of your pictures or graphics is that size and must have been the first clip you dropped on the timeline.
If your sequence (project) is actually 640X480, then only clips of that size would perfectly fill the frame. Your 720 clips would appear as letterboxed and whatever other clip sizes you had would be displayed differently yet.
Now that you have resized your project resolution to 720, the upside is that your HD clips should now fill the the frame. But those 640X480 clips now should appear pillarboxed because they are a different aspect ratio.. You could simply leave it at that; I do it all the time – usually with a color matte as a background. If you dislike the pillarbox (and lots of people do), then go into the inspector and try the Fill Spatial Conform option. Depending on the image, that may or may not produce a better result. If it doesn't, work with scale and position in Tranform until you get what you need.

  • How to change an after login page?

    Does anyone knows how to change an after login page from a default page 1 to, let's say page 200?

    Jessica,
    The URL to run your application is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23533.
    If you use this, page 3 is the first page shown after login.
    Using the URL you gave runs the Application Builder, not your application. If you use the Builder's Run Application icon to run your application, the page in your application that you are requesting is page 1 (or whatever is in the application's Home URL attribute). But running your application this way is something you do in a development environment only
    Your basic question has to do with how end users would get to a particular after-login page. End users do not have access to the Application Builder.

  • How to change the "content created" date/time in FCPX?

    Since I've had problems importing my whole iMovie event library into FCPX I decided to run some tests with importing individual files (part of iMovie events and originally imported from camera into iMovie). Some of them for some reason got the wrong "content created" date/time in them while in iMovie they have the right date/time set. Does anybody have an idea on how to change the "content created" timestamp?

    I had a bunch of DV files that imported stamped with the file modification date and time.  I did not find a way to change it in FCPX. With FCPX not running, I used A Better Finder Attributes to modify the creation and modification dates of the files in the event folder. FCPX reconnected to them but the event still showed the old range of dates so I created a new event and moved the clips to it. Maybe ther is a beter way but that is how I did it.

  • How to change resolution during OSX Installer?

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 and when I boot from the DVD the resolution looks like 800X600. Why? My 10.4 installation is using 1280X1024.
    I can't do anything with the installer because the application isn't smart enough to scale itself. I can't view or navigate to any of the buttons because they're off the screen.
    Does anyone know how to change the resolution via terminal or some other method or know how to navigate the installer via keyboard?
    Thanks

    Actually, that doesn't tell us much since there are quite a few different G4 Macs. It might be important to know which one, but assuming this is a "Pro" type tower, the problem may be that it is filled with some video card other than what Apple supplied as OEM parts & as a result there is not complete driver support for the card on the DVD's version of OS X.
    As an aside, this demonstrates why it is so important for Discussions users to fill in the "Computer Model" & related system info in their settings page with enough info for others to know exactly what Mac is involved. Apple doesn't make this easy with its confusing & inelegant model naming conventions -- it is more than a little ridiculous that some models require a footnote explaining that the season reference in their name is for northern hemisphere seasons! Nevertheless, with so many Mac models in existence, this is often essential information for getting timely, accurate help.

  • Login screen changes resolution after a second

    It' weird but my login screen on this laptop with arch always loads up at a lower resolution (larger font) then after like one second the screen refreshes into a higher res login. Didn't really know where to search for this issue, does anyone have any idea why it does that? There's also like a randomly red-purple colored T character around the top of the screen doesn't really bother me but maybe it's related somehow. Also I'm describing this in context of an alienware m15x with nvidia geforce GTX 260m
    And it's being driven by the nouveau pkg xf86-video-nouveau

    Yes, but not for early boot. That needs to be enabled manually. (Nothing to install, though.)

    I used to have a problem with Ubuntu/Debian, where by my screen would randomly flicker for a second and random noise/garbled black and white static would appear until I played with something on screen. Then everything would settle down for a while, the resolution would remain the same though. That's never happened on Arch..
    I should be clear: it happens as part of the boot process - not when the machine is up and running. It always happens at the same point when the nouveau driver is loaded. The reason it changes resolution is because it is switching to a driver which supports the graphics card properly and so I'm getting native resolution after that point but not before. I can't say it bothered or bothers me. The first time it was heart stopping because nothing, nothing was working and I felt I'd tried everything to get the graphics to be bearable but after that it was just part of the boot process and I was always quite pleased to see it because it meant that the graphics driver was loading! (I had trouble getting it to work and ended up having to blacklist stuff or something. Since this was my first install of GNU/Linux, getting it all working on non-ideal hardware was somewhat like being thrown in at the deep end, even though I used Debian. At least, so it felt at the time... People kept telling me to use the nvidia drivers and I kept explaining that I could not do so because they didn't make them for PPC!)

  • How to Change language after installation?

    Hello,
    Kindly I need to know how to change language of adobe photoshop extended cs6 v.13.0 from English to English support Arabic?
    Your prompt reply will be so highly appreciated...
    Thank you
    Rehab

    You can run the Photoshop CS6 Installer again, and choose English (Arabic) as the language instead of English (North America)
    Then in Photoshop Preferences > Interface, select English Arabic as your "UI language". Restart Photoshop.
    If you use the Creative Cloud desktop application manager, click on the gear symbol,and select Preferences. This will install the English Arabic versions of all trial apps.

  • How to change aspect ratio AFTER creating a project

    I created a project in FCPX and somehow it's got Black bars on the left and right (i think i created a 16:9 project and put 4:3 clips in). I can't enlarge the clips as they contain text that would be cropped out, so i need to turn my 16:9 project into a 4:3 project. Is this possible?
    Regards
    Mike

    Close your project if it's open by going back to the Project Library view (where you see all your projects). Select the project, open the inspector (command-4) if it isn't already open. At the bottom right of the inspector, click the wrench icon. Change your projects properties and click OK.

  • Not able to change status after creating revision

    Hi All,
            I am not able to change status of the document after creating revision.
    Here are the steps I am doing:
    Set 
    - I assign the change number to the document.
    - Now, I open the document in cv02n and change the status.
    - New revision is created with revision level 01.
    Now I want to change the status of the document to the next status according to status network but its not happening. Would you please provide your valuable suggestions.
    Regards
    Vidit

    Hi Vidit,
    based on your description I've tested the behaviour on our test system and I would kindly tell you that the behaviour you are facing is the standard. The mentioned error message are raised because, since the Change Order is released, the DIR remains locked and you will not be able to make any changes to the DIR, including the status.If this DIR was not associated to the Change Order(which is released),you could have made changes to the document status.
    Please note that status change with 'Change Master Without Release Key' is possible to change the status but with 'Engineering Change Order with Release Key' it's not. I hope this information will help you.
    Best regards,

  • FCP X - How to change the length of a project

    Hi everyone,
    Have been working on a music video in FCP X.  I'm at the stage now where the cut is done, and I want to proceed to do a little color grading and then final export.  I have a strange problem that I can't seem to get around, and the manual (if you could even call it that) is decidedly unhelpful on this front.
    When I started working on the video, I placed the song in the primary storyline and had it copied three times along the way.  This was so I could have extra "versions" of the song later in the timeline to test out ideas.
    Now that I'm nearly done, I've deleted the extra copies of the song that were appended at the end, and they've been replaced with gap slugs.  Nothing I seem to do can make them go away, I select them and hit delete, and they just stay there.  So then when I export my video, because FCP X doesn't allow you to do anything other than export the _entire_ project, I end up with like 8 extra minutes of black at the end, which I then have to delete from my final QT movie.  Obviously it's a surmountable problem, but it's just really annoying.
    Anyone know how I can actually tell FCP X where the end of my project is?
    Cheers!

    Hey, thanks for both the responses.
    I had tried using both delete keys (the one next to the "=" key and the one that actually says "delete" on the extended keyboard, but no dice.  I also tried the suggestion of dragging a clip onto the gap and then deleting it, no luck either. 
    But then these suggestions made me think of trying another approach - I selected the gap clip in question and then went into the "edit" menu in the menu bar, and chose "delete" from there.  That did the trick. And in doing so, I saw that the keystroke that's marked next to this command in the edit menu is "shift delete" (the delete is shown as the backward pointing box with an x in it).  This also explains why I never seemed to be able to delete an effect that I added to a clip (I was always just deactivating them), because neither of the delete keys on their own were the right key command. 
    So I don't know if the key commands on my install of FCP X just happen to be set up in a different way to others, or I simply didn't realize that while simply hitting "delete" for clips was sufficient, you needed to use a different "delete" key cluster for other classes of items like gaps and effects.
    Anyway, got it sorted now.  Cheers for the input!

  • How to change protected variants created by users that no longer exist

    There are several older variants for which background jobs are scheduled for daily prcessing.  These variants were created and protected by uses that no longer exist in SAP.
    How to  unprotect and change these variants to reflect new requirements.

    Hi Anam
    1. Execute tcode VARCH and enter the program and variant name and make the changes, if the system allows you to do so.
    2. Check with the basis/security team if they can extend the validity and reset the password for the old ids.
    3. If the above doesnt work, you will need to copy the variants manually
    Moving forward, when you create/change jobs, request the basis/security team to create common ids like OTCADM, P2PADM, etc. Ensure that all the variants and jobs are created/changed using this common id. Basis/Security team can controll by opening and closing the ADM account on request from project team and the usage can be recorded for tracking.
    To check the jobs that use a known variant, use tables TBTCP, TBTCO.

  • How to preseve resolution when creating an iDVD

    I have movie that i made in photo-to-movie. It is DV format 1280x720. Looks great when viewed via QT player. I created a widescreen iDVD project and set the prefs to high quality. When I play the DVD on the TV it look a bit fuzzy.
    Can I imporve this. My TV accepts 720p, my DVD player outputs 720p, and my original movie is 720. It seems that by passing it thru iDVD it looses the clarity.
    This seems to be a frequent question, I just haven't found anything that say that iDVD can only produce low res 480 DVDs. Is this true?
    I'm using iDVD 6. 50 gb free on the startup drive. OS X 10.4.10
    Thanks
    Mitch

    Let's face facts: the standard definition (SD) DVDs we can produce today ARE LOW RESOLUTION DEVICES.
    NTSC disc are less than 640x480 pixels (in still digital image square pixel terms) - that about 0.3 megapixels.
    If you produce widescreen DVDs today, on compression your content is squeezed in to the SD size and then expanded on playback.
    Sorry, but that's the way things are.
    If you want to show a slideshow to a group, the best way is play it on your computer and use a video projector.
    Not too many years ago we were all thinking how great it was we could finally produce our own SD DVDs. Now we want more. One of these years - when the true HD DVD system finally end up with one winning approach - and the equipment prices come down, we'll be able to make some form of HD DVD.
