Frame size in browswer not correct

Hi,
I just imported some HDV footage using Log and Capture, but in the brower panel, under the frame size column it says 720x480 and the Compressor column says DV/DVCPRO-NTSC. Why doesn't it show HDV size and compressor info?
My capture presets are HDV, Sequence Preset HDV-1080p24, Device Control Preset is Sony HDV firewire.

Yup,that was it. I had i.LinkConv set to ON. When I swithcd to OFF it recorded in HDV properly.
Thanks so much!

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:

Correcting initial frame size setting error

Hi there,
A very noobie mistake on my part I'm afraid. When working with some 1280x720 footage from a DSLR I mistakenly put the initial project frame size in as 1920x1080. Hence when I export the completed video it does not fill the screen. I've looked into altering the Sequence Settings but the program won't let me change it now. Any tips out there for getting it to export at the right size. Can I copy and paste the whole thing into a new project with the correct specs or might it be a case of altering the size of the image in the Export Settings panel? This video has taken a long, long time. I can't really go back and start from scratch.
Thanks a lot people,
Jim, U.K.

Step 1: Create a new sequence in your project by dragging and dropping one of your media clips on the "New Item" button in the lower right of the Project Panel.
Step 2: Delete the clip from the new sequence leaving you with a nice empty sequence.
Step 3: Go to the orginal sequence and lasso everything on the entire timeline, and copy it.
Step 4: Paste it all into the new sequence
I believe that will give you what you are after, if you didn't scale any of the images up to 1920X1080. If you did, you will have to scale them back down to 100%.

Scale to Frame Size not perfect

I am working with DV and HDV. I am scaling the HDV to frame size and it works pretty well, but there is a thin black verticle line on either side of the frame. This vanishes when I go back to a DV clip, and reappears when I go back to a scaled HDV clip.
Any ideas on how I can remove these lines/expand the image?
Many thanks,
Doug

In case it's not abundantly clear from the first three posts, PPro is behaving correctly. Scale to Frame Size adjusts the size of the source so that one dimension fits within the sequence's dimensions. In the process, it maintains the source's image aspect ratio. Therefore, if the image aspect ratio of the source does not precisely match that of the sequence, then space will be left along the sides or the top and bottom.
As Ann pointed out, HDV is exactly 16:9, whereas widescreen DV is not. Hence, narrow pillarboxes.
What you seem to be expecting, at least implicitly, is for PPro to not only scale the source but also stretch it to fill the frame completely.
You have two options to eliminate the pillarboxing:
Use the Scale effect with "Uniform Scale" option enabled, in which case you'll end up effectively cropping off the top and bottom.
Disable Uniform Scale and then bump up the Scale Width, which stretches the image.

Files are not correctly named and only 1kb in size - Music Downloads

I have encountered a different problem. I bought a music album on my Z10, and when i download it, the files are not correctly named and only 1kb in size.
No error is given when downloading, but when i open it, the phone switches to the music player and clains the file does not exist. When i look on the sdcard, there are files which contain something like this:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://media.geo.7digital.com/media/error.aspx?errorCode=2001&errorMsg=The%2btrack%2b'8638556'%2...">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
Is there any way how I can deal with this problem?

Ok, does anyone from support read here? I bought this album on 23rd of March. Emails to the appworldsupport email adress from the confirmation email give me just the information back that "direct support is unavailable through this address" I would really like to finally listen to my music... As i paid for it. It still does not download... Is there any email address i can contact for this issue?

[Photoshop CS5] Optimize to File Size working not correctly.

******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Optimize to File Size working not correctly.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open any photo.
2. Draw a slice
3. Save For Web, choose Optimize to File Size, type 10KB (Current Slice).
4. Save "selected slices" only
Results: File result larger than expect (over 10KB)
Expected results: <=10KB filesize.
I uninstalled whole Adobe CS5 Master Collection (Trial) & tried to reproduce the bug in Photoshop CS4, but it was not happened, it's ok on CS4.
Finally, Windows 7 is not reason, it's a bug of Photoshop CS5. Please fix, I don't want to buy a bugged software.
I really need the feature "Optimize to File Size" in my works.
P.S: I tested on 4 PCs, and the results is the same.

Tag 'dmnd': Tag size is not correct msg in Colorsync Utility

When I press the verify button in the Colorsync Utility, I get the path to my ICC Profile
/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/Pro38.profiles/Contents/Resour ces/Pro3800 3800C 3850 standard.icc
and then Tag 'dmnd':Tag size is not correct on the next line.
After that, Verify done - found 1 bad profile.
The printer works ok in Photoshop, though prints maybe come out a bit on the dark side as compared to my calibrated screen.
Is this something to be concerened about, and if so, what exactly is the course of action I should take?
Thanks

Sorry, I thought you asked what course of action to take.
It means the data for that "tag" in the profile is not the size expected - I know, that's obvious too. The 'dmnd' tag contains the manufacturer's description.

Export works not correct in LR5.3; ignore image size.

BUG: The export works not correct in LR5.3 When the field "Dont enlarge" are activated Lightroom ingnores the settings of image sizing and export the pictures in original size. Where can fix it?

Another option, if you're not into using plugins (Exportant) to fix:
Export in 2 groups - those needing resizing and those that do not (e.g. using lib-filters or smart-collections):
* Export those needing resizing normally (but with "don't enlarge" unchecked).
* Export those not needing resizing without resizing.
I mean, re-installing Lr5.2 may be a fine-enough work-around, but so ya know: Lr5.4 is likely to be out soon, with problem fixed...
PS - Get Lr5.2 here:

Problem on Mac OS [ColorSync//Profiles/EW-sRGB
Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.]
My screen contrast has gone awry and the ColorSync Utility is unable to fix the problem. In searching the wisdom of the web, I found a response from 2009 on another forum, which referenced this forum. But the thread is gone. The information was in regard to the Color Profiler. Can anyone help? Has anyone had to deal with this? I found a lot of people looking to fix this, but not a lot of follow-up replies with answers. I have tried reinstalling the file from a back-up and re-booting, but to no avail. Some have suggested a problem with the Epson software. But without any detail, I don't know what to look to change. Any help, advice, cures, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

AV output and non-standard frame sizes

I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

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.

16:9 Frame Size Setting

I'm working on a film installation with 2 x 4:3 sized Video Streams that will stream alongside each other in a 16:9 format presentation (leaving a thin black border top and bottom)
I want to finally export a HD Sequence (1920 x 1080, 29.97fps, Apple ProRes 422 Compressor, Square Pixel Aspect Ratio) onto HD for projection
but the Sequence Settings box only gives the following options:
960 x 720 (16.9) --- but 960 divided by 720 = 1.3333 !
1280 x 1080 (16.9) --- but 1280 divided by 1080 = 1.185 !
1440 x 1080 (16.9) --- but 1440 divided by 1080 = 1.333 !
I have 2 questions:
1. Why do the given options listed above not equal 16:9 when i divide the length by the height ? (very confusing) even though 1280 X 1080 looks correct in the canvas
2. What Frame Size and Pixel Aspect Ratio Should I be working in to get the final desired HD 16.9 export without compromising the quality by blowing my 720 x 480 size frames up to fit into the 16.9 canvas ?
thanks so much for your advise !

The problem you're likely seeing is due to the fact that you're trying to change the sequence settings of an HDV sequence or something like that. Instead of doing that, go into the browser and hit CMDOPTN to create a new sequence from sequence presets.
From the preset list choose prores 1080i.

New Quick Time frame size problem when viewing

Just upgraded to FCPv7 and am having weird issues with playing back video in the new QT player.
I have exported several different formats of the same 30s video(ProRes422, H264 etc) . When played back, the window /frame size of the QT window is way out. The file info shows the correct info, as a 320 x 180 frame size, but QT keeps displaying it as larger than this, with poor quality (like it has been enlarged). If i export exactly the same file as a 480 x 270, it plays perfectly. I know it must be wrong as the dimensions of the QT windows are the same for both!
I have further checked this by playing both videos in my macbook (prev version of QT), and both play at the correct size.
How can I get the new version of QT to play the 320 x 180 at "actual size"? as the option is greyed out if I click properties?
Thanks

after an hours search on this forum. i found some ppl have the similar issue. it looks like my problem is one of those Layout problem
see before my code looks like this

                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );
            }now i am doing this:

            if ( ( comp = player.getVisualComponent() ) != null ) {
                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();// get screen size
          comp.setSize(screenSize.width, screenSize.height); // set size to video component at the start
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );
            }i am not sure if this will fix my problem, i am keep running the test.

Frame size and compressor

I had captured a mini DV movie in another program as an .avi file. When I import this file as is into FCE, its properties show in the browser as:
frame size 720 x 480
compressor DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
data rate 3.6 MB/sec
I then used MPEG Streamclip to export this .avi file into a QuickTime file in 3 different ways. The methods, and resultant properties as they show in FCE, are as follows:
Test 1:
Compressor = Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Frame size = 720 x 480
Data rate = 3.6 MB/sec
Test 2:
Compressor = Apple Intermediate Codec
Frame size = 720 x 480
Data rate = 2.5 MB/sec
Test 3:
Compressor = Apple Intermediate Codec
Frame size = 640 x 480
Data rate = 2.3 MB/sec
Observations and questions:
In the FCE canvas, Test 1 and Test 2 look pretty much identical. Test 3 looks very slightly horizontally stretched compared to the other tests. Or, as everything's relative, Test 1 and Test 2 look very slightly horizontally compressed compared to Test 3. By the way, I placed markers in each test clip at the exact same frame to get a good comparison. Then I jumped marker to marker while looking at the canvas.
QUESTION 1: Is FCE in fact handling these clips differently due to the different frame sizes?
When I play the clips in QuickTime Player (not pro), Test 1 and Test 2, which both have frame size 720 x 480, are horizontally stretched. Test 3, frame size 640 x 480, is normal. The differences between the stretched and the normal are much more pronounced than they appear in the FCE canvas. When I open the ORIGINAL .avi captured clip (720 x 480) in QT Player, it is normal, not stretched like Test 1 and Test 2 which have the same 720 x 480 size.
QUESTION 2: I know this isn't the QT forum, but is this normal behavior in QT Player?
When I open iDVD version 7.0.3 from iLife '09, the only one of the three test clips that appears in the media browser is Test 3.
QUESTION 3: Does anyone know why? I posted this in the iDVD forum; nobody replied.
I then put the three test clips on the timeline in FCE and exported the sequence as a QuickTime movie. When I play it in QT Player, it is (gulp) stretched; ALL of it, not just the Test 1 and Test 2 portions. The finished .mov file DOES appear in the iDVD media browser; when I preview it there, it is STRETCHED.
QUESTION 4: When I export .avi to QT files in MPEG Streamclip, what compressor should I choose for use in FCE?
QUESTION 5: When I export .avi to QT files in MPEG Streamclip, what frame size should I choose for use in FCE?
QUESTION 6: Why are FCE and QT Player handling the differences in frame size in different ways? FCE shows a very slight difference when viewed in the canvas, whereas QT Player shows a drastic stretching when playing the clips.
Thanks for your help.

Apple Intermediate Codec is reserved to transcode HD content (from HDV or AVCHD). Don't use it for Stand def DV-NTSC nor PAL.
QUESTION 2: I know this isn't the QT forum, but is this normal behavior in QT Player?
There is a setting in quicktime player pro under movie properties (command-J) to select the correct aperture option. That's enable the correct aspect ratio when movie is opened with quicktime.
QUESTION 3: Does anyone know why? I posted this in the iDVD forum; nobody replied.
That's because all cool members are here.

QUESTION 4: When I export .avi to QT files in MPEG Streamclip, what compressor should I choose for use in FCE?
DVCPRO50-NTSC for standard definition and Apple Intermediate Codec (1080i60 or 50 or 720p) for HD.
QUESTION 5: When I export .avi to QT files in MPEG Streamclip, what frame size should I choose for use in FCE?
720X480 for SD, 1920X1080 or 1280X720 for HD

Custom frame size

I've been searching the net for an answer all day, but can't work it out.
I'm trying to create a video with frame-output 288x364. When I save it, I get the correct size of frame, but the video is only shown i the middle of the frame - like it dosn't fit to the frame size. Can you help in anyway?
I'm a rookie at this....! And Danish too, so excuse my poor English!

So is this the best answer that we can come up with in four months? That Premiere Elements can't work with some cameras, so you have to spend a lot more money for a better program?
Let me put that sort of question another way: When trying to render a project to an AVI file, Elements only gives me a choice of the 720 x 480 frame size. In order to reduce the file size for uploading, I want to reduce it to a smaller frame size. I'm not really picky about the exact size, but I was figuring around 420 x 320. (And, as Kimdj said, I don't want to just reduce the viewable area, effectively cropping the video. I want to take the whole frame and shrink it down.)
I've been able to do this with other, older, cheaper video editing programs in the past (Pinnacle 8, Video Wave 4, and others), so I'm skeptical about claims that Premiere Elements can't handle the job, or that the camera I used is important (a simple Nikon Coolpix S550, for the record).
So now that that the debate has been rephrased, does this spark anyone's creativity?
Thanks in advance!
