Frame size doesn't match

I'm working on an animated project...doing the animation in Flash and then doing various effects and editing in Premiere Pro CS3. I've been rendering my scenes out of flash as PNG sequences, and then bringing them into Premiere...and so far it seems to be working well for picture quality and what not, but I just noticed something weird. I'm rendering frames from Flash with 1280x720 resolution...and in Premiere I'm working with a project size of 1280x720, so it should be a perfect fit, right? But it doesn't seem to be. If I render an image sequence from Premiere, the dimensions are fine, but if I render a video file it stretches the picture out horizontally for some reason, and also crops the left and right edges. I also noticed that in Premiere if I choose 'scale to fit frame size' in the timeline than the image shrinks a bit and leaves a very narrow letterbox at the top and bottom...this solves the cropping issue when I export but the image is still inexplicable stretched...not to mention that if the clip size has the exact same dimensions as the frame size, 'scale to fit frame size' really shouldn't do anything at all.
Anybody know what's going on here? At the moment it doesn't have a big impact on my project but when I finish and want to render out watchable video it's gonna be a problem, so I might as well figure it out now before I go any further.
thanks in advance

Ya, all my footage is the same size, I actually made a template file that I open and resave whenever I start a new scene so that all my settings would
be consistant...and my project settings match my export settings. The monitor in Premiere shows it cropped as well, but it doesn't get stretched until I export it...and then like I said if I export a targa sequence or something it's not stretched or cropped.
I'm not sure what you mean by par, thought.

Can't make multiclip-- 'frame sizes don't match'

Hi, I am trying to create my first multiclip. I have selected three imported capture files, control-clicked to 'Create Multiclip', and a message comes up saying "Can't create multiclip. Video frame sizes don't match". It true that the three clips have 3 different dimensions (720X480 1440X1080 and 960X720). I'm not sure if these dimensions pertain to the 'video frame size', but I do know that Dianna Weynand's book says that clips of various 'formats' can be made into a multiclip.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Bob

Well, that is up to you, but my suspicion would be that you will not be happy with 720 x 480 DV (which I hope was shot 16:9 anamorphic) enlarged to 1080i, but it is your call.
If it were me, I would go the other way and make all the media match the smallest frame size, converting everything, including the DV footage to ProRes as the codec. But that is just one opinion, based on the idea that you are never going to improve the DV footage by scaling it larger, and you will do less quality damage to the image of the HD material by scaling it smaller. Of course, it will no longer be HD.
You might want to do some tests before you commit all your footage, and the wiseness of your choice will be dependent on what format you ultimately want to deliver your finished project in, and what purpose that format has.
Hope this helps.

Folio size doesn't match asset size

Hello, I have another question.
I'm building an article with multiple pages, that's fairly asset heavy. There are seven pages, and each has an MSO with between 6-10 states, containing an almost full-page image in each state. We've reduced the size of each image to around 100KB, so each page should only weigh about 1MB. For some reason, when I'm building the folio, each page adds about 10MB to the folio size. The entire article ends up being almost 100MB! I was expecting it to be on the heavier size, but ten times what I expected was a bit of a shock!
I've recreated the page from scratch, relinked the images, and started a new folio, but each time the same thing happens. Is this jump in size simply because of the number of pages and large ammount of MSOs? It is the only reason I can come up with for having such a large jump in file size. If this is the problem, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
What is the purpose of all your multistates?
Are they image galleries? - if so try and use a HTML image swipe instead;
MSO's (especially full page MSO's) are notoriously weight heavy - for reasons that make no sense they seem to pile the weight on irrellevant of your asset size.
Very annoying, but I've never found a fix! Maybe someone on here has though, good luck!

Photo size doesn't match

I recently bought 16GB iPad for work. According to iTunes, there's 1.04GBs of photos, which sounds about right as there's 2,733 photos. iTunes also says there's 8.6GBs of space left on the iPad.
But on the iPad itself it says there's only 378MBs available!
I had a similar problem between my MacBook and iPhone but not to this extent.
How is this possible? And how do I sort it out.
Thanks.

Most Apps wil also take space for storage data!
Here’s how to have a look at how much space each installed app is taking up on your iPad:
– Go into the Settings app and tap on General on the left hand pane
– Then tap on Usage on the right hand side – the third option down the page
– Usage will show you how much space is currently available and how much is in use, and then list the ten apps currently using up the most storage space on your iPad (or other iOS device). At the end of the listing there’s a button to tap to show details for all apps.
You can tap on each app to see details on the size of the app itself, and a separate area showing the amount of space being used by documents and data belonging to the app.

Export Media- matching frame sizes to codec formats

The short version of this would be "what are the most common settings for compressed video at 720p"?
Reading the suggested settings for youtube and other sites simply leads me to more questions, as the presets from premier that get close to matching these recommendations all seem to have odd framerates and frame sizes...
The long:
Producers that have me scoring audio to some short bumper intro clips have had me download the quicktimes from vimeo. Revealing the Inspector in quictime, i see the specs on the video files ("Photo- Jpeg" compression format, in what I've been told is 'true 720p resolution' (1280x720), at 59.94 fps). Yet cant seem to find similar export settings as presets in Premiere. I am aware of the very useful function of being able to match master project settings from within the Media, but other people who recieve the preview clips note 'why are these in Photo- Jpeg'?
When I use premier presets that contain 720p res, they are often an odd frame size, which again renders questions from the recipient (why is this 720p at 24drop?) etc. So wondering why the difference between what I recieve and what's available from the same video format preset.
For instance When choosing "Photo- Jpeg" as a preset, the res is indeed 720p, yet the frame is nowhere near 1280x720 (not in front of my rig right now but its something like 900x720). In fact quicktime presets come up with these odd frame sizes as well. The presets Im able to locate so far that hold full-frame HD output settings are branded DV and HDV camera options...meanwhile '720p NTSC' is also in odd frame sizes under presets, not sure what to make of that...maybe I was mistaken in thinking 720p NTSC runs at 59.94?
I understand that Youtube, Vimeo and other sites we may be using have their 'recommended settings' faq pages. However my main concern is whether these are also typical settings for compressed quicktimes that producers may want delivered offline as well? Is there a 'standard' at all?
Read alot of FAQs over the past couple days, but these mainly discuss the options available and how to get to them, not finding alot of info regarding
"when to use export settings and why".so I come to you for your expertise...
Thanks for your patience and your insight folks!

> Is there a 'standard' at all?
No.
Sorry, but that's the simple answer.
Regarding Photo-JPEG versus H.264:
Photo-JPEG codec in a QuickTime container is rather common for such purposes as stock footage---when the quality really matters, but file size (for bandwidth purposes) has to be considered, too.
H.264 is much more effective at compressing a file, but usually at the expense of some image quality. YouTube---to put it bluntly---doesn't care about the quality of movies the way that a stock footage website does, so YouTube prefers H.264. If you upload a video in a nice, high-quality, perfect file, YouTube will recompress it behind the scenes for playback---so you might as well give it what it wants in the first place so that you at least have some control over how your image is destroyed... er... compressed.
There's some more general information about output formats and codecs in this movie that I made:

How do I create a title whose size matches my video frame size?

How do I create a 1920x1080 title?
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7. I created a default title. If I right-click on the title in the Project Explorer and select properties, it says:
Title Size: 720 x 480
Pixel Depth: 32
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
If I drag this title onto a sequence onto a sequence created from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset then the title is automagically scaled to try to get it to fit into the 1920x1080 frame, resulting in a tiny title centered in the frame. I can make things better by right-clicking the title in the timeline and selecting "Scale to frame size", but that's not a particularly elegant solution (and the title, as displayed in the title editor, still doesn't exactly match the title displayed in the previous monitor).
How do I create and edit a title whose size matches my video frame size?

Thanks guys! I created the first title in a 640x480 sequence and didn't notice that I had the option to fiddle with the frame size when I created it. Subsequently, I created new titles by duplicating a previously created title (which I had set up with desired font, effects, etc.) and just changing the title text in the title designer. This worked great as long as I was making titles for a 640x480 sequence. But when I tried to use a copy of this title in a different sized sequence then things got weird on me. I spent way too long trying to find the option to resize the title before I finally gave up and decided to spend the time to figure out how to post a question in this forum.
Just to verify how things work, I verified that the size of a new title does, indeed, default to the size of the currently selected sequence. No idea what would happen if I had multiple sequences displayed simultaneously.
Any idea how to change the size of an existing title?

Why doesn't firefox resize my video to correspond with the video frame size?

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to render a video to both IE(8) and FF(3.6.12) in the same size(dimension) for both video frame and video itself.
I have the latest basic real player installed and using the following code, the video plays in both browsers but only in IE does the video dimension match the frame size.
<pre><nowiki><object id=RVOCX classid="clsid:CFCDAA03-8BE4-11CF-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA" width="150" height="160">

As you will see if you paste this into a text editor, save as .html and render in both browsers, FF renders the file much bigger than IE.
Thanks for any advice.
Jim

That shouldn't be a surprise because you set the dimensions different for Firefox: width="150" height="160" for IE versus width="350" height="460" for Firefox
IE:

Why don't livetype titles match FCE frame size?

Hi
I've made some titles in livetype and imported into FCE but the frame size comes out smaller than the footage in FCE. Both are set to 720x576 anamormphic but the livetype clip doesn't fill the entire frame, just a smaller square in the middle. Is this an FCE setting or livetype setting that I have to change and if so where am I going wrong?
Regards
Adrian

I use the following settings in LiveType Canvas, for Widescreen PAL titles and whole-screen movies:
W = 1024 pix
12.8" at 80 dpi
H = 576 pix
8" at 72 dpi
Frame 25 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1
Uncheck "square pixels".
Do this immediately on launching LiveType and before doing anything else with it. There is no need to set the anamorphic flag in FCE's Browser. It works for me - the resulting QT movie imports into FCE as Widescreen and fills FCE's canvas.
BTW, I assume that you have FCE's Canvas set to "fit to Window"!

Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through

Hi guys,
I am currently editing videos from my Canon SLR with Adobe Premiere Elements (Windows).
In the same project, I have only uploaded videos taken the same day with the same equipment. I have been able to process them all normally apart from one. For some reason, when I play this file with a basic video player, everything works fine but when I import it in the Adobe software and play it either through the small window or in the timeline, I have the same problem:
Everything works fine (audio and video in sync), until it reaches a specific point (totally random as far as I can tell) when the video keeps going but suddenly the sound repeats itself from the beginning of the file (and the audio which would correspond to the video is replaced by it). For you to understand better the problem:
Video:   ABCDEF
Audio:   ABCABC
I have tried opening it in a different project and somehow it happens exactly at the same point.
I am totally clueless of what it comes from and getting really frustrated!
Any idea?
Cheers
Babs

Hello, I'm new to using forums like this. Is it appropriate for me to post that I'm having the same issue? Also sounds similar to Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through as well.
My situation is:
Win7 64-bit, i7 920, 2.67GHz, 8GB RAM
Multiple Nikon D7000 video clips I've taken play back fine except for the following clip. In Windows Media Viewer, I have no problem, but in PE10, in the timeline editor, this clip repeats the audio from the beginning starting about 6 minutes into the video. I have Quicktime version 7.7.5 installed which I noticed was mentioned as a possible culprit in the other thread.
I've been using my camera primarily for stills, but decided to have my mom tell her story before she wasn't able to. I'm so frustrated with this problem because I know the audio is just fine since I can play it back synchronized throughout the entire clip in WMV. I've tried cleaning out PE caches as best I can figure them out and created new projects without any better luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to getting a new version of PE or another program if I could believe that I wouldn't run into this issue again. This seems like such a vanilla problem since all my other clips seem to be fine and this one does too on WMV.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I don't really know where else to go to figure this out.

Final Cut Pro 7 Log and Capture Frame Sizes

When importing from a Roland VR-5 mixer into Final Cut Pro 7, we get black border/bars on the left and right sides of the preview. We didn't think anything of it, that it might have just been the preview window. These bars are recorded though, it's as if we're not recording the full frame size coming out of our mixer. We went into the settings on the VR-5 and everything was configured to be 720x480, and that the settings in FCP matched. The image still gets cut off. Any ideas?

Some background:
720x480 is a non-square format. It can either be the equal of 640 x 480 (4:3) or 954 x 480 (16:9) depending on what you tell your editing software the incoming stream will be.
If you told FCP the incoming stream is DV/NTSC 4:3 and you are getting a pillarboxed image, FCP is thinking you are sending it a 16:9 version and is filling the the sides to keep the aspect ratio correct.
It would help to know a whole lot more about settings within FCP and what your mixer is putting out.

Frame size discrepancies in project settings?

Hi Guys
I have some new information and some observations on my problems with getting full screen output.
I looked through all the project settings and I noticed that the ones I was trying to use…
HD 1080i (60i) and HDV 1080i 30 say that the output is at a16 to 9 ratio and have a frame size of 1440 by 1080i.
This is the frame size or ratio, I kept trying to import.
I finally realized that this isn't a frame size that is proportional to the image ratio that it lists.
16 by 9 would really be proportional to 1440 by 810.
The 1440 by 1080 video that I import using either of these,does not export full screen even if it’s exported the same size it comes in, i.e.1440 in and 1440 out.
So I looked through the project setting for a selection where the stated ratio and the frame size matched.
I found HDV 720p 30.
16 by 9 at a 1280 by 720 frame size.
This would be an easy size for my to work in.
So I made a video at that size then loaded it into PE8 and it exported fine.
Full screen no border. In fact it comes out full screen no matter what size I export it.
When I exported the same video at 1600 by 900 it exported full screen and looked fine.
Then I went back and loaded the same 1280 by 720 video inthe HDV 1080i 30 settings.
It also came out full screen with no border.
So the problem is that as far as I can see the selection screen is wrong about the frame size for both the HD 1080i and the HDV 1080isettings.
You really have to load in something at 1600 by 900 or proportional to that.
And as far a I can find there is no setting that supports any thing other the wide screen except for the Standard 48kHz settings.
It looks like unless you want to go to a wide screen format 720 by 480 is the only option.
Now I’ll have to decide whether I want to do future projects wide screen or live with the restrictions on frame size.
I hate to change horses in the middle of the stream so I may just stick with the smaller size for the Lucy videos but other projects I will do wide screen.
Thanks again for all the help.
Mike

Subject: Re: Frame size discrepancies in project settings?
Hi Guys
Ok, I think I get it at last.
So when I create a 1440 by 1080 file, to use in the 1080i format, it should change the PAR from 1 to 1.333 when I create it, but since I can't control that I get an image that is too small, even though the pixel size is the same. The aspect ration should still end up 16 by 9.
So since Poser creates everything with a PAR of 1, my only option if I want a wide screen video is to actually pick a 16 by 9 ratio when I output it and ignore the listed frame size.
I still don't quite get why the image is both shorter and narrower, it seems like it should only be narrower but I'll live with it.
And there is no way to make PE8 output a full height image in the wide screen format that 3 by 4 except to drag it larger in the preview window.
And there is no advantage in doing that since I'm still using a 16 by 9 window and getting the file size that goes with it.
So if I want to work in a 3 by 4 format then the Standard 48kHz format it the only option.
Well at least I know what to do next time.
That should save a lot of time.
I may just give up and go to 16 by 9 and quit fighting it.
Thanks again.

Video copied to DVD doesn't match project I can see

Okay,
Probably another basic question but I can't find an answer in the Adobe manual. I just discovered (after burning 8 copies of the same file) that the movie on the DVD doesn't match what I see in the Project screen. The dropdown of the Organize>Project looks like what I want to see except that it seems to have the original avi file that I subsequently edited as well as the edited file. The sceneline looks correct. The timeline looks correct. I have tried eliminating the "markers" but there weren't any to eliminate - the menu drop down only gave me the option to add markers. One hint is that the DVD is picking up a menu template that I was playing with but couldn't get to work and then deleted. I ended up using the very basic title screen with black video from the top line Title dropdown menu instead of the Template option in Edit. I can see the new title in scene and timelines. Again, per previous question just posted, I see nothing in the clip screen
(i.e. th boxes) under "organize". Also, the video clip on the DVD appears truncated by approx. half the play time.
At one point I could get only the old menu template clip to show up just below the montor screen but couldn't figure out how to delete.
thx

Camcorder is a Sony Handcam D8 Digital Video, not minidvd. Tape was transferred using Adobe Premiere elements 9 with brand new firewire.
First screen capture below shows only one of two black screen titles upon opening program. Nothing in media boxes. Second Capture shows frame of video clip as a result of double clicking on the third sceneline box. Third screen capture shows what the DVD opens with when played after burning. I have tried to create this from scratch but can't get rid of the fancy menu screen in the third screen capture below. Replaying the movie using the sceneline or timeline prior to burning the DVD doesn't show the "fancy picture frame" with the "play movie" option shown in the dvd playing in the third capture below. Does this help? It seems to be something like an invisible preset that I can't get rid of.

How do I set custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5 sequence.

I need to set a custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5.
I can't edit a preset so how do I create my own?

If you realy feel 'lazy' or have no idea what settings to choose you can drag the clip the into the New Item icon. This will create a matching sequence.

UITableView with custom frame size within a UINavigationController... how?

I've seen similar questions asked all over the web, but so far not a single "real" answer has cropped up, so hopefully you folks will know the way to do this.
I have a main view that with a UIView subview, inside of which I am programmatically adding a UINavigationController and UITableView that is encapsulated in a +regular UIViewController+, to allow it to be pushed/popped onto the navigation controller. I'm essentially just trying to get a table+navcontroller combination that only takes up about half the screen height.
The problem isn't that it doesn't work, because I have no problem getting the table and navigation controller working together as expected. The problem is that no matter what I do or try, I cannot get the table view to be smaller (in height), than full-size, meaning that when contained in this ~200px navcontroller-in-subview, there are a large number of rows the user cannot select because attempting to scroll to them immediately "bounces" back. You can see that the rows are there when you "pull" the scroll down, but can never get it to stay.
As it appears, the table view is too large in height. I've gone as far as setting the table to a height of 10, to no avail. Autoresize masks have no effect.
Please note that I'm NOT using an instance of UITableViewController, but rather the plain vanilla UIViewController, because creating an instance of the former automatically creates the underlying UITableView, which was always sized to large, as well. I had some advice that I should attempt creating the table and view controller independently, add the former to the latter and then push the view controller onto the navigation controller. Again, this does work, but the size is all out of whack.
Finally, in quick psuedo-code, this is essentially what I'm doing:
(this is found in MainViewController::viewDidLoad)
CGRect frame = subviewContainer.frame;
frame.size.height = 10;
frame.origin.x = 0;
frame.origin.y = 0;
UITableView* table = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
table.autoresizesMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
UIViewController* tVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
tVC.view = table;
UINavigationController* navC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tVC];
[subviewContainer addSubview:navC.view];
Thanks for any tips you might have: this is quite the frustrating problem!

I have an app that is absolutely kicking my butt. I have a UITabBarController that contains a UINavigationController that contains a custom UIViewController. When the user rotates the iPhone, I want to hide the navigation bar, hide the tab bar and swap out a UIImageView in the custom view controller and I want the image to be full-screen. I've figured out how to get rid of the navigation and tab bars, but making the UIImageView full-screen is what's killing me. When the image shows up, it is the size it would be if the tab bar was visible. In the didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method, I hide the tab bar by doing:
tabBar.hidden = YES;
I've tried resizing the UIImageView by doing:
img.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 480.0);
but that just screws up the image even more. I tried resizing the tabBarController's view, and I've tried resizing the current view, but alas to no avail.
Can anyone help me not be stupid?
Thanks!
