How do I crop a 4:3 clip, that has bars, to anamorphic file?

Hey everyone, Got a Question.. just swtiched from PC so sorry if its a dumb question.
I have a 50 clips that are 4:3 ratio, but with bars, so simulate 16:9. I need to convert these into actual 16:9 files for use on a anamorphic DVD. Is there an easy way to do this? I know how to do it on the PC but kinda wanted to keep everything on the Mac.
thanks all in advance for your help!

Just select a 16:9 preset and then go into the Geometry tab and use the crop settings to remove the black bars from the letterbox. The quality will suffer but if you want anamorphic that should do it (I suspect that you would retain more quality by just keeping the letterboxing).
If the original is interlaced you may also have problems with artifacts after the scaling to convert to the anamorphic format. Therefore, you might need to apply a deinterlace filter along with the crop.
You could also do it from within Final Cut Pro, I don't know which would give you better results (or whether they would be the same).<small><hr width="75%"><small>If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty.

  • How can I delete a .mpg video clip that has been "processing" for weeks?

    Weeks ago I loaded a 380mb .mpg video clip using Express Loader that is still "processing". I want to delete it but cannot because the software produces an error message notifying me that I can't delete it until processing is complete. Obviously the "processing" is stuck. Suggestions on how to get rid of it? Thank you.

    Have you seen recent email from Adobe about how Photoshop.com service is being transitioned to Adobe Revel?  It is actually no longer possible to upload new files to photoshop.com.  I checked your account and see the migration process has been initiated, which is probably why you do not see behavior you expect.

    There's no way around activation lock.  If you purchased this from someone else you'll have to contact them and have them remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  Otherwise you won't be able to use it.

  • If I try to scale a clip that has been slow down, nothing happens?

    If I try to scale a clip that has been slow down, nothing happens?  I am trying to zoom into the doorway. I move the sclae control but nothing happens to the clip. Am I missing somethimg?
    Thanks

    I don't think you're missing anything. You should be able to park your playhead on a clip and rescale.
    Wondering if you might have a stuck render. Select the clip and do something to it like a small change after hitting transform. Then see if it will rescale. If not, try Control+R to re-render the clip.
    BTW, are the Go Pro clips optimized? If not  they probably should be.

  • How to edit both audio tracks with video that has two tracks?

    I have video that has 2 tracks with it. Both however are marked ch. 1 on the premiere timeline. The properties say they are 48000 hz audio. Now when i hilight both tracks and right click to edit in Audition, only one comes over. I am wondering a few things here. Why are they both the same channel and how can i edit both of them at once since they ae exactly the same in Audition? Do i even need both tracks?

    Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

  • How to download an app *not* from icloud that has been downloaded before with a different account?

    Greetings,
    If an app has been downloaded before even with an account other than the one I am signed in with, it shows the cloud icon and asks me for the password of the other account.
    How do I download it with the account I am currently logged in with?
    Thanks

    "I'm using the one on the computer, not the device."
    Well I said this is happening on an iPad. Reread what is happening from the beginning of the thread, and tell me if the instructions are correct for the iPad. Are you prompted for passwords from a different account that previously downloaded the app on the iPad?
    Again
    The app is Google Search.
    It is free.
    (I am always promoted for passwords for both free and paid apps.)
    The device is an iPad. That is why I posted this is the iPad discussion.
    I am logged in with my account, let's call it A. It shows account A next to Apple ID in the lower left of the Featured page.
    When I search for Google Search, and click the cloud download icon next next to the Google Search app, it prompts me for the password to a different account. Let's call it B.
    In the app store it shows a cloud download icon next to every app that has ever been downloaded on this iPad, regardless of whether it is account A, B, C, etc
    Have you tried logging in with a different account to test this?

  • How do I get rid of an app that has an automatic weekly charge

    How do I get rid of an app that that I don't want that I'm being charged for automatically each week?

    There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    If you also want delete the app from your iPad (you will also need to stop the subscription, just deleting an app won't do that) : press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How to apply a PO-matched prepayment invoice that has an extra tax line??

    I have a situation where I created a prepayment that's matched to a PO, but since the prepayment invoice document has VAT associated to it and not the PO, I need to add that extra line. So after matching the prepayment to the PO, I added an extra line on the prepayment as Item type TAX.
    Now after creating the actual invoice, when trying to apply the prepayment on the invoice, I can only see the actual PO amount and not the VAT line that was added afterwards to the prepayment. Therefore the invoice goes on a distribution variance hold.
    My question is how would I be able to create a prepayment that's matched to a PO and that has an additional TAX line and then later on apply the full amount to an invoice?
    All responses appreciated!

    Hello
    I still have to investigate for a problem with prepayments and line level calculation also (no PO matching involved), here is what I foundin the main AP doc (115apug.pdf, 4-150 to 4-155)
    *Applying Prepayments in the Invoice Workbench*Payables creates Tax distributions automatically either when you choose the Calculate
    Tax button in the Distributions window, or when you submit Invoice Validation for the
    invoice. For invoices you enter in the Invoice Workbench, you can apply a prepayment
    either before or after you validate an invoice, or while you are entering it. If you use Line
    level or Tax Code level automatic tax calculation, Payables always creates separate tax
    lines for your Item and Prepayment type distributions.
    Note: Use automatic tax calculation to create tax distributions for
    prepayments. Manually created tax distributions for prepayments are
    not included in the Distribution Total. If the Distribution Total does
    not match the Invoice Amount, Payables applies a hold to your invoice
    during Invoice Validation.>
    Hope it helps ;°)
    I'll keep you inform if I have further info about my case

  • Is there a way to do over an audio analysis on a clip that has been analyzed before?

    I've noticed that depending on the in/out points of an audio clip, the Audio Analysis will calculate based on the segment of the clip that was placed in the timeline. My problem is that my audio clips are very long and have multiple sections that would need to be analyzed again for optimal loudness/uniformity settings. I can't seem to find a way to do a fresh audio analysis on a clip that's already been analyzed, so is there a way to do this? I'm using 10.0.9
    Thank you,

    How do I convert my files to iWork 09 so that I can open my files in Maverick?

    You  simply open the old files in the newer versions of iWork that work with Mavericks and the iApps should automatically convert the old file format to the new one.. but once that's done there's no going back to the old iApp version with your docs.
