HELP! Moving timeline from Standard to Widescreen Project

I use Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5 and am in the middle of a large project.
I was given the project in a file which the sequence 1 timeline contains all movie files however the project is in Standard not Widescreen (cutting out the sides of the videos and won't look good on a TV)
What is the best solution for moving the timeline (in it's current format with seperated and editable files including audio) to a widescreen project?
Thanks, Tim.

Open a new sequence and copy / paste all the clips ( Select all)  from the the other ....into it.

  • What is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

    What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • Audio lost when converting from standard to widescreen

    I have been working on an iMovie project for about two  weeks and just noticed that there was an option for widescreen vs standard mode.  I read through the instructions and it said that one can convert to widescreen at any time in a project. I converted to widescreen and when I did I seem to have lost 2/3 of the audio in the clips. But its strange because the clips are clearly there - the ducking still works, the audio clip title are there, but there's no sound. I am hoping that there's a simply fix and that I don't need to reconstruction the movie.  HELP! Please.
    Thanks
    David Trachtenberg, Berkeley, Californai

    I resolved the issue.  I googled the issue and the answer was right there. Turns out that one audio clip (out of dozens in the project) was somehow corrupted. A small yellow triangle was the indication.  Once I deleted that clip all of the other audio came back into the project.  I simply pasted a fresh version of that audio clip into the project and the all was not lost.

  • Moving timelines from Premiere Pro to Encore?

    The only options that seem to work in my Premiere Pro/Encore version CS3 are to export from Pro using "export to Encore" .  However, once I do this I am left with a bunch of ncor files that I have not been able to consolidate into one project.  Nor can I import it as a whole then razor it into parts in Encore so that I can create separate timelines in order to create menu links for my DVD.    I have tried to save or convert the Pro timelines into wmv files with no luck.  Mac users don't seem to have these problems.  I am using a muscular PowerSpec PC with plenty of memory run by Windows Vista  which is an awful operating system because it freezes periodically requiring me to start over.  I am not sure that any of these other problems can be attributed to Vista. Encore seems to be an especially inflexible program.  I assume I just don't know how to use the software well.

    You have that option, but it's a multi-part process, as Jim mentions. In PrPro, just Export as a DVD-compliant MPEG-2 Video-only file. Do the same for the Audio, as either a PCM/WAV, or DD AC3, Audio-only file.
    Then, in Encore, Import the MPEG as a Timeline, and the Audio-only file as an Asset. From the Project Panel in Encore, just drag the Audio file to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place.
    One can also Export from PrPro as a DV-AVI, Video-only, Import that into Encore as a Timeline, and let Encore Transcode that on Automatic.
    Good luck,

  • Moving file from event library to project library

    Here's my situation. I have a slideshow as a .wmv file (I used Flip4Mac to view in QuickTime); used QuickTime Pro to save it as a .mov file. I imported it into iMovie so I can ultimately save it on my iPad. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to get this file into the Project Library to export it. Can anyone help? Am I missing a step? (That's an obvious question, I must be missing something, since I cannot export.)
    Thanks for any assistance.
    ~Marian

    You may have done this already, but you need to use QuickTime Pro to convert the wmv file to an iMovie capable format, like h.264 or Apple Intermediate Codec. I say this because an MOV file can also contain uneditable codecs.
    Having done that, you import the mov file into an iMovie Event.
    Next you must create a new project and give the project a name.
    Then you can select a clip or a portion of a clip or multiple clips from the event and drag it to the Project window. Then you can edit as desired and when you are done, use the Share menu.

  • Help: Moving contacts from old to new account

    how can l move contacts from old account to new

    Hello,
    This greying-out of your iPod's songs are due to what setting you are on in iTunes.
    Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Under the "music" tab, there will be three selectinos of options:
    Automatically update ALL songs
    Automatically updater SELECTED songs
    Manually manage songs
    From your description of this issue, you are on one of the "automatic" settings. To un-grey your iPod's songs in iTunes, change that setting to "manually manage music" instead of automatic".
    If any post is helpful or solves your issue, please mark it that way, this makes it clearer to other users what solved your issue, and encourages others to help each other on here. Thank You!
    I hope this answers the question,

  • I need help moving data from my iPod to my computer.

    Is there a way I can take all the music and movies and pictures from my ipod and transfer them onto my computer. Mainly I just want my pictures back I never backed them up on my laptop and that got destroyed while my husband was deployed in iraq a few years back. Im not sure how to work everything I always gave my ipod to him to have him upload everything on it. I just bought a Macbook and I am still learning how it works. Is it even possible to take stuff from my ipod and save it to my computer now?

    First of all, when connecting your iPod to your computer, be sure to click "NO" if you recieve a message like this: "This iPod is linked to another computer. Would you like to replace the content?"
    Then, onto the iPod-to-computer transfer:
    There are a few different methods with transferring iPod songs to your computer.
    These include:
    --- Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes. See MacMuse's posting here: iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
    --- Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). See Jeff Bryan's post here: Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
    --- Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod.
    I hope that helps you.

  • Need help moving music from iPod nano to new computer

    I had a computer that had all of my music on it, it was a combination of music I purchased from iTunes, purchased from other places, and that had been transferred from my CDs.  That computer died, and the music was lost.  My CDs are in storage and I can't put my hands on them easily.  All of that music was on my iPod Nano, but when I plug it in it only gives me the option to erase and sync, and I don't want to lose what's on my iPod but I would like to add new music that I've added to iTunes on my new computer to the iPod.  Is this even possible?

    it 's possible you just have to change your sync option from automatic to manual
    the way to do this is the do the following
    -open iTunes while ipod is connected
    -if you get the message to erase and sync just click cancel
    -on the left hand side of the iTunes window click on your device in the devices section
    -in the ipod summary page go to the bottom of the page and choose "manually manage music"
    -click apply and now any new music you want to sync you just drag the music from the library section and drop it onto the ipod in the devices section in iTunes
    hope this helps:)
    ps: this is only a temp fix but if you want something more then just a work around just post back

  • New PC user needs help moving stuff from MAC

    I have just had to resort to getting a PC and I don't know how to get all my stuff from my mac to my PC. Specifically; iPhoto library, itunes folder, mailboxes and signatures in Mail, bookmarks in firefox or safari, 'address book' v cards, and all my textedit docs (AAARRRGGHHHH!).
    Can anyone help me? My new PC is a Quad core acer running vista.

    Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
    If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
    It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.

    The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
    You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

  • Help moving mail from old hard drive to new installaion...

    I need to import all my mail from my original hard drive (in the second bay) to my new installation of Tiger on a new drive. I've got the new setup of Mail working fine. Can anyone point me to the steps required to safely import my original mail? Both systems are on Tiger but unfortunately the admin usernames are not the same. If possible, I would like to keep what mail is currently in the new installation as well. And I would like to only import one of the accounts if possible.
    Hoping someone knows a good FAQ on manual replacement from an original drive or copy/past backup.
    Is there a more appropriate forum for this question?

    So why don't you just use the Mail import command and choose OSX mail then point the importer to where your mailboxes are to import.

  • I need help: Moving music from an ipod to a new library.

    Hi, so I'm having a lot of trouble. My friend just gave me his old Ipod because he just got a new one. And it has a lot of music on it that I want. But I don't know how to take the music that's already on the ipod and put it onto my itunes. Because my itunes keeps saying the Ipod is synced to another library and that I need to sync it to my library. But to sync the ipod to my library all the songs that I don't have that are on the ipod I loose and all I end up with are the same songs I already had. So I hope you guys understand my question. I just wanna know how to move the songs from the ipod to my computer without loosing any music.

    There are probably programs you could download to transfer music on windows, but the old way works fine. First you will need to change your folder view options to show all hidden files. Then plug in the ipod and ignore itunes (dont quit it or the ipod will dismount) open the ipod drive and go into the ipod control file, then into the library file. There will be a bunch of files all starting with F. Inside of those are the songs, they will all be labeled some random 4 letter title. Once you drag them into itunes they will regain all the correct titling and info. This will probably take a while, and its really only for situations where your computer crashes and you want ALL you music back. You really can't pick and choose the songs you want from it, since everything is labeled gibberish, and they are in no order whatsoever in the F folders.
    Good luck. You could also just look for a free program somewhere to transfer the music. My method is the old way.

    How do I move photos from Photoshop starter edition 3.2 to Photoshop

    Your photos are just files somewhere on your harddrive and you import them via the organizer. Doesn't really involve any specifics beyond that.

  • Need help moving photos from iphone3gs to 'My Pictures' or sync with itunes

    Hi, I've recently bought a new iphone 3GS, unfortunately my PC crashed, which was already synced with my iphone. I had saved ALL my photos to my iphone temporarily while I wiped my system and reinstalled Windows 7... now I have 4000 photos stored on my iphone which I want on my PC. The problem is when I connect the iphone to my PC it detects the device as a camera/iphone but only lets me view the pictures on the 'Camera Roll' and not my 'Photo Library'.
    How do I move the photos on the iphones 'Photo Library' to my PC?????

    The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to recover photos synced to your phone as the iphone is not a backup device and should not be used as such. You will have to use third party software to recover your photos from your phone. What OS are you running on your computer?

  • Help moving songs from ipod to itunes

    I had to do this a few months back and was able to contact someone about this and I did it, but then my computer crashed and I had to get a new hard drive so I think I have everything on my ipod ready, but I just need to know how to put my songs back on my computer. I authorized it and I was able to move all my purchased music on there, but thats it.

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
