Filming in 16:9

Hey Everyone!
I started filming some footage in widescreen format 16:9. The only problem is...when I upload into Final Cut Express it captures the footage as full screen (and kind of stretched out). Is there a special setting to upload in 16:9?
Thanks!
Ryan

Final Cut Express>Easy Setup. You get a dialog with a popup. Pick one that matches your material, DV NTSC, PAL, anamorphic, 48k, whatever you're working in. That's your set up. That's what you use to capture your material. If you then make a new sequence it will be in that format to match that material.

Try going there

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

How to delete the films in VLC in my ipad?

I sync some films(.avi) for VLC to my ipad via itune(I bought free VLC in ipad). One problem is too slow to see in ipad, many mosaic occurred. The other problem is how to delete the films in VLC on my ipad.. there is no any button to delete, only add button..

But what if the videos don't appear in the list under the Apps Tab >File Sharing?
They definitely are on the iPad. I can watch them with VLC. But the VLC list is empty when I select it. Most of my File Sharing lists are blank even though I can access the files I placed on there with my iPad. (Worse, Comic Reader has a list of files but none of those files are accessible on the iPad but a completely different set is readable on the iPad!)
Any ideas?

Movie rental Q: How many times can you watch the film within 48 hours?

It's just I have 8 hours left on Into The Wild and I fancied watching it a second time, only it is not playing when I click on the thumbnail. It just says "accessing the iTunes store" for a few seconds. I've tried clicking play. Other films appear to work ok, just not this one. I assume that if it doesn't let me watch it a second time iTunes will give me free movie rental credit.

According to the FAQ "Once you've started to watch the movie, you have 24 hours to finish watching the movie (even if you start watching before the download is complete). You can watch the movie as many times as you want within this 24-hour period": iTunes Store movie rental usage
If you are having problems you should contact iTunes Store Customer Services.

Images once exported (RAW) do not show up in catalog or previous imorts not film strips in library nor develop. They are in the files to which they were exported

Not sure how to get this going seems rather redundant.
In the last 4 - 5 days I have imported several hundred RAW files, done some minimal post processing and exported these images to various files (I have verified that the images are in the files to which I exported them). These images to no show up in previous imports nor do they show up in library nor develop film strips. How or can I get them to show up for additional review and possible manipulation. I recently did this same operation with largle JPEG files and all went well.
I did initially have some problems with LR recognizing the RAW files but some how was able to overcome that ( perhaps a card issue they are old card and the JPEGs were on a new card hmmmm!!??)
Any ways I supposed I can reimport them from their current files but that is a redundant pain. Suggestions would be apprediated

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

Help! Am trying to change the speed of a film clip and am having probs

Hi there all, this is my first foray into Apple Supp Communities, so thanks in advance for your help:)
I have downloaded an 8min HD video from my new Panasonic camera into imovie. All good. Now for some reason when I click on the movie
it is halved in time - showing a much speeded-up visual, although the sound track is at the same old speed.
I have tried to find a way to slow it back down to normal speed to no avail.
I next checked tutorials and came across one showing how to double-click to use inspector to change speeds, reverse etc.
Excellent except when I double click, the film plays only.
I have checked this community site and came across what appeared to be my answer - to change imovie preferences ,
Followed the following instructions (see below) -thank you John, but alas, alak, I find when I go into library preferences, I do not find any file referring to
imovie, the closes I come to is the whole ilife file which doesn't open to any more options (ie does not give me imovie to choose or delete etc).
How frustrating!!!!
Can anyone please tell me how to locate the com.apple.iMovie8.plist file so that I can delete/update it?
I have purchased the computer without the original disks so don't know if that poses a problem if I delete something!
Thanks again,
Danielle
iMovie's preference file is in your user Library>Preferences folder and is named com.apple.iMovie8.plist - delete (trash) this file after closing iMovie. When next opened, iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference.
There should be a Browser tab in iMovie's Preferences once this new file is created. In that tab is an item "Double-click to Edit/Play" - select Edit. Double-clicking a clip should now bring up the Inspector.
By skimming over a clip (not clicking) you should be able to see the gear icon at the beginning of the clip. Clicking this icon will cause a panel to appear, from which you can select various items, some of which will open the Inspector.
It's important that you locate and delete that preference file. As your Browser tab is missing, something is clearly amiss with that file.
John

Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.
Yours Bengt W

List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

hello everyone,
I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
2. merged clips should be more flexible,
- it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
- replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
bugs that need to be fix:
- audio dropouts!
Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.

Sound problems with film made in iMovie when burned to DVD in iDVD

PLEASE HELP!!!
I have upgraded to iLife 09 and for all the bad that people have to say, I actually like it a lot. Anyway, it gave me the encouragement I needed to play with some old home movies I had stored with the aim of producing DVDs to give to my friends, and hopefully showing off the slick production values I have come up with.
So after spending a week getting to grips with iMovie and editing an old holiday film with all the cuts, transitions, chapter markers and music etc that I wanted, I ended up with an hour long movie that I was happy with.
Then to iDVD. After trying out all sorts of ways to go from iMovie to iDVD to ensure the best quality, I have finally given up trying to replicate the on screen quality of the movie in iMovie with the finished DVD, and just opted for the easy to use 'share to iDVD' option. The quality is not great, but then the footage is old anyway so not too much of an issue.
Then I spend another few days playing with and learning iDVD and again end up with a finished product that I am happy with, with nice looking menu's and a slideshow etc.
So I come to burn the final DVD, for which I pick the 'Professional burn' option which takes 4 hours but I am happy to wait if it means the best quality possible, and my DVD is done.
I then play the DVD to discover my problem - the sound in the movie is not right. To explain further, in my movie I have reduced the sound of some of the film clips to nothing and placed music over the top. When played and previewed in iMovie it works fine - the music plays and the sound that is attached the the video does not. When previewed in iDVD it works fine - just as I had edited it in iMovie. But then when I burn the DVD, some of these sounds are present again which completely wastes all my hard work at the editing stage.
I have searched and searched for help on this but am unable to find any.
Sorry for the very long description and story behind my issue, but it is massively frustrating. Basically, at some point during the 'burn to DVD' stage in iDVD it decides to completely ignore most of the sound edits I have made on the movie in iMovie.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks. Looking at that thread it looks like there are a few others having the same issue as me. Might be to do with not using the predetermined rates for clip slowdown and inputting my own.
The frustrating thing is that I have only done this once right at the start of my hour long movie and if I change it now it with though the timing of my whole film out.
Not much else I can do though I suppose.

Is there any way to browse all sales excluding rental only & short films?

Is there any way to browse all film sales excluding rental only & short films?
I am finding the laborious process of clicking through page by page in cover view annoying to the extreme to search new additions to the available film sales lists every week or so. The display page is always slightly deeper than my window so it means having to scroll down to view the last row of covers and click next page.
Apple... Is there any chance of having an auto scrolling (with pause and previous/next feature) film cover flow with description view of each film large enough to view the image, preferably filling the screen, perhaps also a feature in Front Row that will show available films to buy/rent in iTunes or an RSS screen saver that could give you a constant update of the last 10/20 films added?
Something that will make the task of searching for titles you might like to buy less of a 'task' and more intuitive. I don't really want to browse by Genre and a Cover image only view tells you nothing about the film.
If the screen in front of me gave me a constantly (controllable when required) changing view, similar to the content displayed in Front Row of a title you have selected i'd be happy.

I've rented a film from iTunes on my Mac pro, but I can't see it on my iPad! Should it transfer to all my apple devices?

I've just rented a film in iTunes on my macpro. I've synced my ipad2 to macpro, but the film is not on my iPad? I thought with the cloud it would automatically be on both devices!!!!

You can only have a rented movie on one device at a time. And you "Move" a rental movie to the iPad - you do not sync it. There is a difference.
iTunes Store: Movie Rental FAQ
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
