File Specs for Animations into a 16:9 Sequence

I captured mini dv footage shot in 16:9. I received graphics to cut into my sequence from a post house. These 5 second qt's crash my FCP. They are in the apple animation codec 853 x 480 (1024 x 480), Millions. To work around this I opened them in QT and exported them as DV, 720 x 480 (853 x 480), Millions. When these are cut into my sequence part of the bottom of the image is cut off. So 2 questions:
1) Any ideas on why the original graphics crashed FCP?
2) Why is the bottom of the graphic being chopped off?
Moving On:
The final sequence was exported - QT movie - Current Settings. It was brought into DVDSP. Under preferences the display mode was changed to 16:9 letterbox and encoding aspect ratio was changed to 16:9. When the dvd is played on my TVI think it looks right.
Sequence #2 was only from the graphics. The seq. settings were matched to the graphic clips' settings when cut into the new sequence. This gave me
Frame Size 853x480 Custom
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Compressor: DV/DVDPRO - NTSC
I exported this sequence the same way and brought it into DVDSP. The final dvd looked correct.
The dilemma is that these dvds were brought to a studio doing a live audience taping. They were dubbed to digibeta and then rolled into the show. The director pointed out that my images didn't fill the 16:9 monitor and needed to be distorted to do so. So my stuff was stretched vertically which was rather disturbing. I'd like to avoid this ever happening again so if anyone has experience in this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,
These are animated graphics. There's a 5 second opening and moving logos etc. I'm unclear as to what specs should have been given to the graphic house because their original files crashed my FCP system. And I don't know why my final playable dvd sequences didn't fill the 16:9 screen when dubbed to digibeta and played back.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Maximum file size for export into MP4?

Hello,
I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
Thank you
jiri

You are right.
So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
Let me know your opinion

Pushing Frame Scripts for Animation into Classes

I would like to move some scripts that are on frames of an
animation to a class. I'm wondering if there are some best
practices for this. The animation that I have includes scripts on
individual frames. These include the common stop, gotoAndPlay etc.
These scripts execute as the animation runs. I'm not sure how I can
do the same in a class. Maybe the best thing to do is to use
onEnterFrame and check for frame numbers using a conditional. Seems
sort of awkward. I don't know of any ready way to make a event
listener for a frame event. That would seem ideal.

Why impatient? I'd really like to find out what's going on.
The nature of what I'm doing requires that I get control of how and
why things play when they play. For examle, why should it play
differently to daisyChain loadMovie as opposed to chaining
gotoAndPlay("scene", 1)?
I'd also then need a preloader to insure all movies were
ready or the animation would pause. I'll keep playing at it.
Thanks for trying.

Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success.
Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac. Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8. (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
as .psd. 8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
My question: Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
person can work on the individual frames? Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
want to import into 8 first into .psd? All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
"This is an animated gif. You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame).
Is it possible? Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Aspect ratio for animation integrated into dv anamorphic

Hi,
I'm working on a sequence with 23.98fps footage that was shot in miniDV with a Panasonic DVX100b, anamorphic. I'm incorporating some animation sequences into this cut and am a little unsure of what aspect ratio/resolution to advise the animator to work in (animation will be done in after effects). Final output will be for film festival screenings and possible broadcast on TV.
My sequence/clip settings are 23.98fps, 16x9, 720x480.
1. Is it advisable to have the animation done in a higher resolution (like HD) in case I want to upres at the end of the project (this is a film) or will that just complicate integrating the animation into the sequence of minidv footage?
2. If I just wanted the animation to match the footage in my sequence at its current resolution and aspect ratio, what are the optimal specs?
Sorry if this seems like a basic question, any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's actually not really a basic question at all. Just the fact that you know there are different settings for raster size and pixel aspect ratio puts you ahead of the curve around here.
The good news is that virtually anything your animator gives you can be cut into your timeline. Final Cut is remarkably adept at taking footage in other formats and making it work.
But to make the job as easy as possible, tell your animator to use the "NTSC DV anamorphic" composition preset in After Effects. I don't remember exactly how the preset name is worded; my After Effects is in my suite, and I'm at home. But it's something like that. It's 720x480, anamorphic pixels, and can be set to 23.976.
Your animator should be warned, if he doesn't already know, that After Effects does a shockingly bad job of compensating for non-square pixels on screen. If he toggles that "correct for aspect ratio" button, he'll see lots of jaggies that simply won't exist when you view the footage in Final Cut, or when you watch it on TV at the end of the day. He can get around this by using a broadcast monitor and After Effects' "video preview" feature, if he's so equipped.
Whether you'll get more aesthetically pleasing results by having him work at a higher resolution and then downsampling to DV is tough to say, because it depends on what kind of work he's producing for you. Maybe you should have him do a short shot for you in DV, then cut it in with your other footage and see how it looks. If you're happy with it, great, problem solved. If not, you can try other options. But you might be introducing complexity for no reason.

I don't do animations in PS or IR, but if you like, send me
the file
and I'll see if I can figure something out.

Is there support for animated .gif files?

Is there support for animated gif files using
form builder? I can't get it to work.
Thanks
Sean
I am using forms 6.0

She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
Thanks,

Choosing rows for adding into text file

Hello!
Recordset with several rows per reference.
Need to find references with at least one of four rowreferences.
Not all references include any of the four rowreferences.
Need to sum up all rows of reference except the rows with the four rowreferences and group by customerid
If sum per customerid is above set limit, add a line to textfile, one line per reference, sum of special four rowreferences, sum of all rowreferences
Tried this:
Set s7=rows with one or many of the four rowreferences grouped by reference
For finding out which references are valid for inserting into the textfile
Set s8=sum of all rows per reference grouped by customerid
For getting all data for reference.
Set s9 = all customerid’s
I have tried several do...loop statements, but I cannot get it right.
I tried to move through s9, find matching rows from s8, then add up sum per reference in s8 minus sum per reference in s7.
Then if sum per customerid is more than set limit, add separate rows from s8 of this particular customer
into the file.
What is the best way to solve this ?
Thank you in advance!

and then I need the data to go to the csv so that:

Mike,
I was successful, in a test I just conducted, to get Siri to record your problem statement in a Note file on the iPod as I used the Edit > Speech feature in Safari to play the text. I don't see why dictation wouldn't work as well. Why not give it a try?
If you don't have an iOS device to try this with, you could write your audio file to a CD and use an external player to get audio to the Mac.

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
First..
1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
13.0 Folder in which it exists.
But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
