How do i avoid stretching 4:3 clips in widescreen

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get some pesky 4:3 clips from a dvd to NOT stretch out to 16:9 in my 1080i movie project (most footage in 16:9, HD). I've tried every possible combination in preferences, to no avail. How does one FORCE pillarboxing on a clip so as to avoid the stretch?

Have you tried UNchecking 'automatic letterboxing' in Preferences?

  • How can I avoid rendering objects outside of the page?

    Hi,
    I have a few big objects in my webpage that stretch the boundaries of the page in preview mode. How can I avoid rendering those parts that are off the page?
    Thanks,
    Hadi

    Hi Hadi,
    You need to resize the image to fit the page to avoid it rendering outside the page.

  • How do I avoid duplicates when importing sequences?

    We're doing lots of collaborative editing at our company and just switched from FCP7 to premiere.  We're able to import sequences into projects just fine, but a HUGE problem arises with duplicates.  Each sequence we import brings in new master clips in the Project window, even though all that media already exists in the project.  If I delete it, the media disappears from the sequences that use it. 
    WHY!!!!?
    I assume this is user error.  We're still learning the software and collectively agree that this can't possibly be how Premiere is designed to operate.  What are we doing wrong, and how can we avoid balooning our project files each time we want to consolidate our editors' work?

    While I'm *really* looking forward to seeing the reality of Adobe Anywhere, it currently poses more questions than we have answers for, including how much horse power the server and central storage systems are going to need.  Even for a small shop with 3 edit bays I can see the server becoming pretty sluggish rendering all the frames that need to be sent to the clients, especially once effects are added.  And... what happens when some one decides it's time to export with some plugins that take all the CPU/GPU time up?    And then.... is this going to be included in the next Production Premium or is there going to be a massive premium added on top making it uneconomic for smaller shops?
    Until we know more.... we'll just have to keep editing individually and merging projects as needed.  
    -- back on topic ---
    As I said above, if you are importing projects from other editors it would not normally duplicate the footage.  If it's still doing it then there may be some path issues in the copied project.  In order to 'fix' those issues you can open the copied project they sent first (as a project, not as an import), reconnect all the media to your local media (this is usually just one or two clicks) then save it.   Now go back to your master project and import the sequence as before.  Because your copied project is now already connected to your local media it should not need to duplicate them.
    If it's STILL duplicating footage than perhaps you need to give us more specifics.....

  • How do I avoid rendering my 1080p HD footage?

    Hello!
    I have a Sanyo Xacti Full HD VPC-CG20 camcorder and I was wondering how I would avoid rendering in Final Cut Express 4? I have heard of MPEG Streamclip, however it does not, to my knowledge, export in a format compatible with fce4 and keep it's 1080p HD. Yes, I have raised the quality to 100%, but when I import it to FCE it's not widescreen 1080x1920p.
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you,
    Leigh

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Use Streamclip to convert to Quicktime in the Apple Intermediate Codec at a frame size of 1920x1080, a frame rate of 29.97, and audio set to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. The program has a batch convert function if you need to convert multiple clips. Import the converted footage into FCE and edit in a 1920x1080i60 sequence (make sure you've updated to FCE4.0.1 first through Software Update).

  • How can i make a transition between clips on cutaway?

    how can i make a transition between clips on cutaway?

    ninafromlisboa wrote:
    But if I want ONLY fade out (or in) I can't do it...
    OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
    BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

  • Multiple users on a itunes account how do I avoid eveyone getting my information on icloud

    I have multiple users on our itunes account. If I switch to mountain lion and utilize icloud how do I avoid the other phones my kids and husband from getting all my stuff on their phones. I am the primary account holder when we first upgraded the phones all my contacts went to their phones and wiped out all of theirs it was a night mare so we just shut it off. It sounds like a cool idea but I dont want to mess up their contacts and information.

    You can keep everyone on your iTunes account all you have to do is have everyone create there own iCloud account. Me, my wife, and my son all have our own iCloud for our own use. I have my 3 devices linked to mine, my son has 2 linked to his and my wife has 2 also. For some reason by default the iDevice will ask you to use your iTunes account but you don't have to. You can create it right from the device itself if you want a @me account which is the way to go IMO. you can also go to iCloud.com and create it there too. We have a total of 8 devices linked to one iTunes account for purchases and everything works like a champ. Hope this helps.

    I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

  • How can i avoid restarting tomcat server when servlet is modified?

    please advice me that how can i avoid restarting the tomcat server, whenever a servlet file is modified in my application. is their any way ?

    No probs. Here's how I do things...
    1. Install tomcat as normal (e.g. I install to C:\Apps\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4)
    2. Create a webapps directory in your eclipse project with the following directory structure
    MyEclipseProject
       - src
       - conf
       - webapps
          - MyApplication
             - META-INF
             - WEB-INF
                - classes
                - lib
                - pages3. Set the project's output folder (e.g. bin folder) to webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/classes
    4. Put all your jar files in the lib directory
    5. Put JSPs / HTML in the pages directory (you may also want to create additional directories for TLDs, config files etc)
    6. Ensure your web.xml is in the WEB-INF directory
    7. Although it isn't essential I create a context.xml file and store it in META-INF, e.g.
    <Context reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/struts-config.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/tiles-defs.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/validation.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>I use this to set monitored resources that will trigger an automatic appliation reload and to configure JAAS (not shown). See the Tomcat documentation for additional information.
    8. In the 'conf' directory I create a server.xml file used to configure Tomcat (you can copy the one from your <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml).
    After copying the file change appBase attribute in the host element to be the full path to the webapps directory. You can also change the HTTP and HTTPS ports if you wish
    9. Download and install the Tomcat Launcher plugin from Sysdeo.
    10. In Eclipse's Preferences menu you will see a new entry for Tomcat. Click this then
    a. Set your Tomcat Version
    b. Set your Tomcat Home
    c. Set "Context declaration mode" to server.xml
    d. Set the configuration file to the full path to your server.xml file created in step 8
    On the "Advanced " sub page select all relevant projects to add to the Tomcat classpath
    On the "JVM Settings" page add all the jars in your WEB-INF lib directory to the class path
    On the "Source Path" page select all relevant projects
    Now if you start Tomcat using the Tomcat icon, you will be able to remote debug your application. If you change web.xml (or any other file in your context.xml watched resources) it will automatically reload. Any changes to JSPs will automatically be picked up (providing your tell your browser not to use the page in cache - e.g. CTRL+F5 in IE)
    There are some limitations that I'm still working on however. Primarily that I haven't included the Tomcat Manager application in my webapps directory, so Sysdeo cannot perform a reload. This means that if I change a source file, and eclipse auotmatically rebuilds, Tomcat doesn't pick up the change unless I either change a watched resource file (e.g. web.xml) or stop and restart Tomcat.
    There's no reason why this can't be fixed, I just haven't got round to it yet.
    I'm sure there are lots of other (probably better) ways of achieving the same thing. This was the first method I tried and it worked, so I stuck with it. I'm not a Tomcat config guru and I'm sure other forum users could provide some improvements should they wish.
    Post if you get into trouble, however I won't be able to respond until next week.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • How do I avoid re-entrant problems in Oracle JVM

    I have a Java program called LanguageFunctions. This Java program has several methods that translate the data within a String or CLOB. I want to use this Java program as a stored procedure, and specifically the methods as Oracle functions. I want this function to be accessed simultaneously without either re-entrant, lock or performance concerns. I want to be able to use the functions something like this:
    SELECT TO_CHINESE(VARCHARCOL1) FROM DUAL;
    SELECT TO_FINISH(CLOBCOL1) FROM DUAL;
    I am having trouble understanding the Java requirements for these methods. I am greatly concerned about multi-user usage and issues with re-entrant code. Does this have to be a static class? If not, how when and where does it get instantiated (I hope not for every invocation of the function)? How to I avoid having one user accidentally changing the data within the method when executed in parallel?
    BTW: I have successfully moved these into the Oracle JVM, and executed them as a single user. My main concern is the re-entrant code issues.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, I meant no disrespect, I was just trying to be a little funny...
    I did read that any method that you want to use as an Oracle function must be static. So I understand that as a given. However, the class I am converting uses static Class variables. You can see this in the example as the textOut variable.
    When two users are accessing this function in parallel, I could see the following series of events ocurring, and it is my concern. There is only one textOut, and I believe it can be modifed by both functions simultanesouly with unexpected results. I'm assuming my for loop is set to x < 2.
    SessionA issues: SELECT TO_DANISH('HELLO') FROM DUAL;
       A --> textOut = ""
       A --> textOut = "HELLO"
       A --> textOut = "HELLOxy"
       A --> textOut = "HELLOxyxy"
    SessionB issues: SELECT TO_DANISH('GOODBYE') FROM DUAL;
       B --> textOut = ""
       A --> textOut = "xy"
       B --> textOut = "GOODBYE"
       A --> textOut = "GOODBYExy"
    Session A returns: "GOODBYExy"     (expected "HELLOxyxy")
       B --> textOut = "GOODBYExyxy"
       B --> textOut = "GOODBYExyxyxy"
    Session B returns: "GOODBYExyxyxy" (expected "GOODBYExyxy")I'm I correct in my assumption that this is an issue? If so, what type of programm architecture would be best to use to manage this? I've tried to provide a simple working example of the issue, but the program that I'm working on actually alters the contents of textOut (as a static Class variable) in 5 or 6 different methods, including one method using recursion. I know I may need to make changes to the program architecture to make it work properly in a multi-user environment as an Oracle function. I'm just a little confused on what the appropriate architecture is. Once again any help is appreciated!

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • How can I get back the Web Clip widget in Dashborad?

    Dear all,
    I accidentally deleted the Web Clip widget together with the Web Clip.wdg in Library/Widgets/ folder by AppCleaner some time ago. Now I cannot use this function to clip content in pages. I have the widget icon in Safari and can crop the webpage without problems, but after I did this action, nothing appeared or happened in the Dashboard since the original web clip widget file is gone.
    I would like to know where and how I can get back the Web Clip.wdg file so that I can perform the Web Clip function again?
    I just saw a user who posted a similar topic on Dec 28, 2008 and his/her problem is solved. I have this same problem like his/hers.
    I would appreciate if anyone can help me, thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you very much for your help.
    I have tried to use Time Machine to get back the Web Clip but still couldn't, and very strange is when I click Time Machine, I can only choose Windows Applications as the back up disk but not Macintosh Applications, so I cannot restore anything from Macintosh applications.
    I think the best is if anyone has this widget on their Mac and can kindly send it to me by e-mail?
    I would appreciate it so much.

How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

    When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.
