HD timeline to DV50 timeline resizes frame size effects?

I have a project in HDV I want to output to SD DVD.
The edit was done in a HDV timeline. I have many effects where I resized the frame image size. (zoom in/zoom out etc.)
I created a new sequence- DV50- NTSC Anamorphic.
I did a simple copy and paste.
Now all my re-size effects are way off. It's very strange:
Clips I left at 100 (no change in image size) are now set to 50 in the Motion tab but they look fine(?) In other words the image correct size. O.K. fine.
But clips where I shrunk the image (from 100 to 90) now display zoomed in very tight. Which makes no sense.
Please I need to deliver this by the end of week.
How do I get this into a SD timeline with all effects/resizes- exactly as they are in my HDV timeline?

Export a QT movie...self contained, reference movie...doesn't matter. Then re-import that movie and drop THAT into your DV50 timeline. Everything will remain the same, except it will be letterboxed.
Render.
But really, you don't need to do this. This is an unecessary step. Just take that exported QT movie into compressor and choose the DVD preset (BEST settings) that matches your show time and SUBMIT. That will make an SD DVD.

Dropping larger video frame sizes into timeline at 100%

In FCP6.0, I'd like to drop a 448x252 video onto a Sequence set at 320x240, but I want the larger original video to remain at 100% scale. By default FCP will reduce the size of the larger video to fit (~70%). I can easily set it back by setting the Scale back to 100% in the Motion Tab. But that forces yet another render.
Is there a way to tell FCP to drop in a larger video without reducing the scale to fit? I've already unchecked "Always scale clips to sequence size", and set Auto Conform Sequence to NEVER, but it seems to make no difference. Am I missing something obvious?

I'm fairly certain that those new-to-FCP 6 settings that you speak of are only for clips smaller than the sequence frame size.
Larger clips will always be scaled to fit into a sequence.

Where's the timeline key frames button in Elements 10?

I've just installed Premiere Elements 10 on my new iMac. I've noticed that the add/remove key frames button on the left of the video tracks in the timeline appears only in track one and yet, in illustrations on the help pages (and in earlier versions of PE) the button appears alongside each track.
So how do I make that button appear?
Many thanks.

My thanks for your interest. I have thanked Robert for his contribution.
Best wishes for the forum. It's a great asset.

I would say that it's a programming Bug in the GUI display, as the Keyframe operations buttons SHOULD appear for all Tracks. However, Robert had the workaround. Bug Report. Note: PrE shows up in the Photoshop Family. Good luck, and thank you Robert, Hunt

How do i move a clip on timeline a frame at a time

Hi
I have cs6.
I am having problems moving clips slightly on the timeline, ie frame by frame, when i try to move I dont get the fine control, it jumps a second.
How do I get fine control?
Also, with cs5.5 I could zoom in/out of the timeline, using the 'mountains' to drazg right left etc. I dont have this on CS6 ?? any ideas
Many thanks
Chris Anderson

If your mouse is over the zoom/scroller bar (in the timeline or below any of the monitors):
it will zoom in and out just by rolling the wheel
SHIFT + wheel makes it zoom faster
ALT + wheel makes it pan
ALT + SHIFT + wheel = pan faster

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.

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

What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
Thank you!

Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
Suggested Examples may include:
REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
reduced bit rate for older devices
smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
Scaling
retiming
cropping verses scaling
or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
others will have many more suggestions.
Also note that there are some nice overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
FWIW.

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?

PRE10 - Pan and Scan Default New Frame Size

Is there a way to change the Default New Frame size for a project? I have about 4 or 5 frames per page all of which need to be enlarged and my project has a total of 90 pages. So a lot of extra time is spent resizing frames. I can set the default pan and scan times under settings but I have not found a way to start off with the correct size frame.
Thanks,
Joe..

Just wanted to thank you guys again. This all worked out perfectly. I had 92 photos which previously took me three days to put together and I did not like the results. Tonight it took me two hours and it came out ok (IMHO).
Resized all photos to 1000x751 (200dpi, 1.0 pixel size). They were 2832x2128 with 1.0 pixels
Created a new project with a default DV NTSC Standard format
Imported them into the project
Placed the first photo\scene in the timeline
I set 5 pan\scan keyframes. One overall and then 4 quarter frame size
Adjusted the lenth of the scene and pan and scan durations and saved it
Added the other 90 photos to the timeline
Copied the completed scene and then pasted the attributes to all the other photos except a few I didn't want to pan\scan
I selected the clips that had the attributes pasted to them and used the TIme Stretch to set the duration the same as the first pan\scan clip
Dragged and dropped a different transition in between each
Added titles to the beginning and end
Added sountrack music to the entire video
Shared\Exported out to MPEG with NTSC Standard 4:3 format
It took about 10 minutes to render instead of a couple hours
Is it great, to me, no. I need to work on a few things and perhaps even reshoot the pages of the album to get better originals (or take them somewhere and scanned on a larger scanner then I have to accomodate them). My wife loved it and on average I think it looks pretty good. But the process works and the time savings are incredible so the next one will be that much better.
So thanks again. I have lots more to learn but at least progress is being made.

How to apply "scale to frame size" to a bunch of stills in CS4 and most likely all PP pro.

Hello, I was looking for an answer to this procedure after trying to use the "paste attribute" function; that is ticking this option on one picture, and pasting (as attribute) it to the rest of the stills. As this did not work I finally found a Youtube video showing how simple (and embarrassing) it was. - Just highlight all your stills on the timeline and right click anywhere on the selected area. Then click on the "scale to frame size" to put a tick against it. NB In my case though a few things happened when I tried, and one I remember was that my selection had already a still with the tick against the "resize..." (as I tried and erred various other ways) so it would not work, I guess because the program already could see the tick although it's only on one still. Most likely if I hadn't learned the "paste attribute" method I would have chosen this but here you are as an erratic user I opted for the less obvious possible method! I hope this entry will help people who want a quick answer to this situation. I'm a little surprised though as I thought I read somewhere that PP as "scale to frame size" as a default!

Yes that's right Bill, I think that's what the video did show and that I tried to share in "my discussion" But Ann explained to me how to turn it on as a default from Preference which is a smarter way to go about it, providing it's done before importing the pictures in the project window. Else, yes that the way to do it!
Actually it would be nice to be able to choose the size of the frame so to fit it directly into the safe area which ever is chosen, it would cut a couple of steps when animating the still, avoiding scaling into the safe area (I'm a dreamer!)

Frame Size Problem Still

O.K. my clip size is 586 x 440 and still when I insert it in the timeline is shrinks down with a black border around it and I have to resize and render every clip. I am capturing video off of my Magalia TV tuner card in MPEG4 format. Then I bring the clips into FCE HD 3.0. I checked the clip propertis in the timeline before I rendered them and it is the same size. What am I missing here. Thanks

Isn't this in another thread already?
The correct frame size for DV video is 720x480. Your video is smaller and doesn't fill the frame.

FCP- DVDSP sequence settings. frame size

Question of sequence settings. when making a DVD, will the sequence setting, Frame size make a difference?
We are just starting to edit a documentary, which uses alot of still photos and graphics. The rest of the video is shot on DV. I have tried laying still photos on the DV sequence, but it looks like still photos look really compressed and blurry. Not so good quality wise. If I set it to CCIR 601-NTSC, the photos look super good. We are NOT outputting any digi-beta uncompressed, but only to DVD.
I am editing sequence in NTSC DV, but thinking of just before getting outputting with compressor, I am thinking of changing to uncompressed sequence CCIR 601-NTSC, and then compress it to MPEG2. (doing this later so that i can do alot of edits RealTime and worry about picture quality later) of course the picture size does get smaller... I don't really know the effect of this on a teleframed television.
Will that make a difference? Seems that if I go through DVcompression AND MPEG2 compression, both, is more compression than MPEG2 compression itself. Is there a site that talks about it?
Thanks in advance.

I only have "a bit" of experience working with stills in a DV sequence. But one thought concerns how you are integrating the stills and the video. I assume you are going to pretty much intermix the stills and the video and audio (interviews or whatever) that may go with video and stills.
The DVD format, of course, supports stills as a slide show directly, but this will not accomplish the intermix very effectively.
As far as size-quality, you may want to import the stills are larger than DV image size and then pan across them, etc.
At the end of the day, to achieve a seamless edit job, you are probably going to need to have all the stills sitting on a regular DV timeline for export / encoding to MPEG2.
I honestly do not put much stock in the differences between viewer and canvas. I always use an external NTSC monitor to judge the final appearance. I started with a cheap TV and recently upgrade to a nice JVC production monitor. This is the real measure of the final video, in my experience.

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.

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.

Does FCP assume interlaced video if frame size happens to coincide with PAL?

I have a QuickTime MOV file that has a frame size of 720x576, at 25 fps. It's actually a series of full-frame JPEG images, so it's progressive video.
When I add it to the timeline in FCP-X, it shows up as PAL 25i - ie. FCP thinks it's interlaced.
My timeline is PAL 25p, so the source video is being de-interlaced by FCP when it shouldn't be, which is leading to image quality degredation.
Is there any way to stop FCP from assuming this progressive video is interlaced?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
MJPEG is simply a series of JPEG images. If you pull one apart in a hex editor, look for the bytes that start with 0xFFD8 - this is the JPEG Start-of-Image marker. Extract that section, until the following JPEG End-of-Image marker (0xFFD9), save it as a file, give it a .JPG extension and voila, a fully standards compliant JPEG image.
Images I know about - it's video that's foxing me!
The incoming video is an arbitrary size - I could make it 512x512 for example. If I do that, and leave everything else the same, FCP treats it as *progressive*. It's only the 720 x 576 file that FCP is *assuming* to be interlaced.
Here: a 512x512 mjpeg.
On the timeline - note, FCP does *not* assume it's interlaced this time:
I know the 720x576 file isn't interlaced: it's a series of full frame images.
So: any ideas how I tell FCP to stop treating the input as interlaced?
(Many thanks for your assistance by the way, it is appreciated.)
