Formating/ratio help

OK, we screwed up and didn't discuss or decide this before we started shooting. So now what?
We shot video from a Sony HDV cam (not realizing he still had it in 1080i from a previous shoot) and I shot a different angle with my Sony TRV70 (standard def.). We are doing a interview/testimonial video for a church financial class coming up.
I have FCXHD 3. What is the best thing to do with the footage? We don't use HD stuff in our services so the HD footage is not that important but his is the primary interview camera vs. my camera and angle.
Questions:
1. Project settings?
2. Importing concerns?
3. Suggestions?
I am planning on important his footage from my camera (TRV70). Is that an issue?
Thanks in advance.

to my knowledge you can't use the TRV70 to play HDV stuff.
use an HDV camera to capture ... there are settings on the camera so that it sends regular DV out instead of the HDV (check the camera first, i'm not sure all models do this). you can capture it as regular DV using regular DV settings in FCP.

Aspect Ratio Help

I've tried to find this on my own, but to no avail. I am using a Canon XHA1 and shot footage in 16:9 HD format at 24fps. Imported it in using default Windows Video Import tool, then brought into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on Windows Vista.
The footage looks distorted (4:3) no matter what project settings I use. I tried using the Intrepret Footage per Adobe help, and while that does seem to get rid of the 4:3 aspect ratio, the preview window then for some reason shows a much smaller widescreen preview surrounded by a lot of black box.
I tried outputing a sample file, and sure enough, the final output shows a smaller version of the footage with more then normal black box surrounding it.
Any help in understanding what I'm doing wrong, or how to import the video correctly into Premiere is much appreciated.

Thanks Ann for the help. Forgive me as I'm a newbie and still had a few questions:
1. Should I capture with Premiere and not Windows Import? If so, where do I specify HDV split? Not sure what that means.
2. When and where do I choose the 1080i30 project setting? I downloaded the 24f Canon presets and those show up, but I wasn't sure what to choose initially when opening Premiere (either a Canon preset or the 1080i30).
I'm fairly new at this so step by step is kind of what i need to figure this out.
Thanks.

External drive no longer mounts or unmounts or formats. Help!

I have a 1TB external Seagate drive which is used to store my time machine backup for an iMac (2010). My time machine is failing as it says there is no backup disk. I ran disk utility. I see it on the external drive on the list below the line on the drive listings. I see the external drive and the time machine volume indented below it. I verified the external disk and it says it is fine. However it will not let me mount the external drive or the time machine partition. I cannot even re-format the disk because it says it cannot be unmounted (which is obvious it it does not let me mount it). It is connecting to the drive because it can see the verify results. I also tried every combination of unplugging power and cables to both the unit and the Mac itself.
Question(s):
1. Is there anyway to remount the external seagate drive?
2. Can I format it without mounting it. I don't care if I lose anything as it is all time machine backup files only
3. Do I need to format it on my windows PC and then reformat it again on a Mac!?
Help I am at my wit's end!!
Thanks

Aspect ratio help for a newbie?

Hi Everyone,
I've got a Sony DCR SR-32 camera (please don't laugh ) and shooting in its HQ mode, (9Mb/s) and 16:9 aspect ratio.
I can import the footage into iMovie and make a movie with no problems. But I've just bought FCE and am struggling to get the footage imported at the correct 16:9 aspect ratio. After trawling the discussions I've tried the log and transfer method, and all the other relevant discussion on importing AVCHD files directly into FCE but no success (I get file opening error ?). So I'm bringing the footage into iMovie, exporting it from iMovie as an FCE XML file and opening that using PAL anamorphic or NTSC anamorphic Easy setups.
Even so, I've got what looks like 16:9 video squeezed into a 4:3 aspect ratio with black boarders on either side padding it out back to the 16:9 size.
I'd welcome any advice other than "get a new camera "

Hi Tom, I seem to have a similar problem, not sure if you've seen this, but I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it either. Using Imovie to recognize the files works fine, the problem is that when you export from imovie '08 into FCP via xml, it imports fine, but I also get the same display issue with the black bars surrounding the footage, only in the canvas. It appears fine in the viewer and in it's own sequence in the timeline. But when you mix the different camera footage together, the other being the Canon XH A1, it appears as a different aspect ratio??? What the?
ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Cannot get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone on formatted computer -Help!!!!

Hi.
I formatted my computer to give it a bit of a clean out and improve performance and what not. I built the system back up and reinstalled iTunes but it won't now acknowledge my iPhone. I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to fix this with the troubleshooting guide to no avail.
This is from the troubleshoot guide:
iPhone requires two important pieces of software to operate properly on Windows. First, the driver must be installed; for iPhone the driver is USBAAPL.SYS. Second, Apple Mobile Device Support must be installed as a Windows Service. If these are not installed, see the Reinstall iTunes section below.
I have reinstalled iTunes 5 times. I have confirmed that my computer does indeed have both of the requirements mentioned in the Troubleshoot above. The only thing that seems a bit amiss is although USBAAPL.SYS is in the \System 32\Drivers folder when I go to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers in the list of devices found in devmgmt.msc the iPhone is not showing up. I figure this is likely to be the problem but I've tried for hours to work our a solution.
All the USB ports on my computer and functioning correctly and the iPhone camera is acknowledged by Windows and the iPhone will charge while connected. I have connected the iPhone when fully charged but it's invisible to iTunes. My iPhone has not been updated with the 2.2 update so is currently running the 2.1 firmware.
Can anyone please please please help me with this??!! Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Mark

This is how I corrected this problem with the iPhone 5.
Reinstalling the usb driver in win8 by going to device mgr/ portable devices.
Click update driver and and then directing the computer to search the apple folder ...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.

When saving a document as a PDF for printing, I lose pages, clip art, and my orginal format. Help!

I have created some forms for our congregation to fill in with answers on adobe forms central. When I go to turn it into a PDF for printing for a hard copy, (not all our members have internet) when i save it to a PDF, it doesn't save all the pages and formats it differently then show on the screen i programmed it onto. How do I fix this issue?

Hi;
In the "Feature Tutorials/Help" linked from the top of the main page of the Forums: Feature Tutorials / Help
There is a Tutorial on "Creating and distributing fillable PDF Forms": Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
The main thing to look at is the "View" setting and for PDF set it to "Page View", the page breaks you define in Page View will be used in the PDF, there are also "implicit" page breaks added automatically based on the page size.
For the issue with clip art see this FAQ: Image does not show up in PDF
Thanks,
Josh

Right click on the query results and choose properties at the bottom of the pop menu. Uncheck the option titled "Suppress Repeated Key Values" then click okay.   Your query will update the results and you should see all characteristics now, even if they are repeated.

Tried to edit backup bookmarks html document in Notepad. Saved as html but now lost formatting & links - help!

We've had malware problems so I backed up my hard drive's bookmarks onto our server but now the bookmarks are out of date. I just wanted to update them and save them back as the full web page that I originally had as the backup, so I can import them into the new PC we are about to purchase. Now I think I've ruined the whole thing by opening it in Notepad, editing one of the tags and then saving as an html file. It opens in Firefox but there are no spaces or paragraphs or hyperlinks -- it's now just a mass of text squashed together. I can't find anything about this on the Firefox Help section. What am I doing wrong? I didn't change any of the formatting or coding!

What you could have done is (these options may still be open to you depending on the state of your sytems).
* Saved the bookmarks by exporting them from Firefox (They are not by default exported as HTML - most times HTML may not be wanted)
**see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
* Saved all your [[profiles|profile]] - that holds information including more bookmarks backups - by following instructions
**[[backing up your information]]
Firefox keeps bookmarks, along with History in a database called ''places.squlite'' additionally
*it makes some automated bookmarks backups,
*and also give you an option to manually make backups
* and has a sync facility allowing backup to another device <br/> see [[what is firefox sync?]]
Note if you are trying to combine bookmarks from an older profile and a small set of recent bookmarks (Remembering to always backup bookmarks manually first of all)
# export the new small set as HTML (important to use HTML option not the default .json)
#import the old bookmarks (or even just overwrite the new places.sqlite with the original manually, which is what importing achieves)
#import the HTML using the bookmarks library, and Firefox will append them to the end of the existing bookmarks.

N82 Maps not loading after Memory format! HELP!

Right
My memory card started to cause the phone to hang, so formated it from phone.
Reinstalled maps via maploader, but they dont load.
Then reinstalled firmware, same ver, reinstalled maps, same.
Factory reset phone, formated memory card. Ran maps once, downloaded maps via maploader, still no maps.
Tried above with maps v2.0 also.
Only way to make it work is restore original backup of memory card, made when i got phone. works, but is not the way is ment to be, looks like a few ppl are having similar issues, problem with map loader???

I was having the same problem, but it's working now .. hope this helps
Firstly, make sure you go to the app. manager on your phone (usually found in the applications folder) and delete the nokia maps 2 from there.
Also reformat your memory card.
Then do what needtogetfit posted but I've made it step by step for ppl like me LOL):
Connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" NOT PC Suite. A folder should show up, if not, go to 'my computer' and it will be there as "memory card" or whatever you have named your card.
Open it and you will see a few files in there. Make sure you delete the folder "cities" or "diskcashe" if it is still there and also delete a file called qf-file. (for some reason they seem to stay there even after a reformat etc and that's what seems to stop the maps from being seen properly)
I also made sure I had 'show hidden files' checked in the tools/folder options/view so I could see if they were hidden or not.
I then installed the nokia maps from my computer onto my phone via PC suite.
Open up your maps (it may take awhile cause it's starting a new directory structure on your memory card to replace the ones you deleted)... and allow it to connect to the internet briefly so you can get satellite coverage. (dont panic, you will still only see a green page, but if you zoom out you should at least now see your country etc)
Once you've done that, close and connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" and open up the map loader program and download your countries maps + voices you may want.
Once done, go back to your maps and you will find that all the streets will be showing once again!!
I hope this helps, it worked for me and I tried it on two different reformatted cards that weren't working before this.

Format for help which will actually help

There is absolutely no room for sarcasm or ignorant answers as this doesn't help anyone. Even grammatically correct sentences are wasteful.
Basically through troubleshooting my own problem I've devised a format that would have helped me had adobe or even another user simply followed this format instead of pages of impossible to navigate "problems" and "solutions" that never truly apply to what I'm experiencing. We've all been there.
Please restrain from wasting digital ink by responding to this out of ignorance assuming I haven't done some incredibly simple step.... don't insult my intelligence, its rude and destroys any faith in this company or its community of users. By the time you make it to the forums its a guarantee you have already restarted your computer, uninstalled/re-installed, repaired permissions, and lord help you, checked for an update........ the last one, the absolute last thing anyone wants to hear.
Specifically I have been dealing with error 1301: unable to update adobe reader because the file has been modified since last update.
I could say a bit of comedic lines on this, since there isn't enough hours in the day for me to even think about rooting around adobe reader files, aint nobody got time for that.... but I won't because I want people to be helped by this article.
Begin improved format:
problem:
error 1301 when updating acrobat reader, files modified since last update
versions:
Mac OS X 10.7.5 operating system
(also adobe reader version when problem began, did not have access to this information at the time of this writing, probably around version 4.3 though )
precedent: (in order so it is possible to follow the persons trouble shooting path)
1. restarted computer
2. uninstalled and re-installed adobe reader ---------upon next update same error appeared----------
3. followed these steps for root login http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 per the instructions from the link (details) that was displayed in the error window http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-update-errors-acrobat-reader.html
Question(s):
1.with the root enabled do I just install adobe reader in the root account, and if so will that mean adobe reader will be available in my account? (they are different logins even though my account is the administrator)
2. will I have to leave the root enabled? (it is recommended to disable the root if you do not use it often per the above linked instructions)
3. Are my security settings interfering with adobe's attempts to update? ( I have a firewall, my hard drive is encrypted and my system settings all require administrator password when doing anything)
end of a well formulated post
What I hope is accomplished by this post:
1. that this problem will be addressed (for real) in future updates.... since the world relies on this software it has to work and work every time without wasting client time, that is adobe's burden and one they rather like since they get a lot of money off of it.
2. that this community will start posting questions in ways that problem trends can be easily recognized, and easily navigated by reducing the amount of complaining posts where everyone voices how they all have the same problem, but no one has an answer worth reading.
No one has time to scroll through long pages of sarcastic complaints.

example response:
I'm also curious if there is any interference with updates when you have adobe reader and acrobat pro installed

HT4007 I Just updated Apeture to 3.3.2 Now there are some photos that I receive a message..."Unsupported Image Format" Are there lost? can I retrieve them? can I change the format? Help...?!?

I just updates Apeture to version 3.3.2 after installing Mountain Lion. There are some photos in Apeture that now say, "Umsupported Image Format". Are these lost? Can I retrieve them...how? Can I change the format so that I can see them again? Help?!?

Are these images "Raw" images? What is the make of your camera?
Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Download the latest Raw Update from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.
