*** How do I get the "really wide" screen look?

I am shooting HDV with a Sony Z1U and love the results, but I wondered about something. I would like my finished projects to have the "really wide" screen look similar to a 2:35 panoramic. I know this is achievable by letterboxing the footage, primarily because there aren't too many panoramic tv's, but my main concern is for the web.
Is there a way to make my online clips appear really wide? Currently I export 480x270 for the web, but like the look I saw on the latest Superman trailer where the dimmensions could be either 480x200 or 650x270 depending on how you scaled down the quicktime window.
Obviously I don't want any squishing but my question is, do I have to shoot with an adaptor to get this look or can I just place a 2:35 matte on my footage and somehow export through quictime conversion so as not to see the black bars on top and bottom?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance...

You can't shoot native 2.35:1 with the Z1U using a special lens, if that's what you're wondering. You must letterbox and/or place your footage in a custom-sized sequence.
To spell that out for you:
Create a new HDV sequence
With the sequence open and active in the Timeline, open Sequence Settings (Command-0) [that's Zero]
Alter Aspect Ratio to Custom, then alter Frame Size to 1440x816
(It must be done in that order - Aspect Ratio, then Frame Size - to work correctly)
Nest your final sequence (or your completed movie) into this new sequence.
(If your sequence or clip was letterboxed to 2.35:1, it will be windowboxed [black on all 4 sides]. Otherwise, it will be pillarboxed [black on the left & right sides].)
Select your nested sequence or clip(s), then bring up the Remove Attributes dialog (Option-Command-V), select Basic Motion (in case it's not preselected), then click OK
(The trailer should now fill the frame, with any letterboxing cropped off)
File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion and be sure to specify a custom size. Full size would be 1920x816, so calculate according to that ratio (not 1440x816)

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

How do i get the volume on screen display meter back?

Hello,
I have a minor problem... for some reason the on screen display meter for my volume when pressing on the keyboard suddenly disappeared, I would like to get this back.
I found this thread in the forum http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/how-do-i-get-the-volume-on-screen-display-me... which another was having the same problem I'm having. The only difference is that I'm using HP Pavilion G7 with Windows 7.
Please help, thanks.
This question was solved.

How do I get the registration nag screen to go away permanently?

I purchased Acrobat Pro 7 while an employee, and now that I'm retired, I have neither the money nor need to upgrade. However, I did get a W8 machine, and when I tried to install Acrobat, I needed a new link, which I received from Adobe. I downloaded and installed that software. I must have activated it, though I don't remember. The software works.
But every time I start it, it asks me to register. I don't know how to do that with this replacement product, nor do I know how to make that nag screen disappear permanently?
The chat support person said that I'd get the answer here.

Find Acrobat.exe on your computer. Right click the program and click 'Troubleshoot Compatibility'. Set the compatibility to Windows XP service pack 3. At least that seems to have worked for me.
To help you find Acrobat.exe, you may want to download the Everything Search Engine. A neat little program that searches your computer quickly for files by name even in hidden folders. Available from www.voidtools.com.

Well, the CS2 was my 1st full program that now my son is using in his new Laptop...
The CS4 Master Collection is my full program that I bought when I was in College course and now I use for my own works...
Both came in their own serial numbers and discs ... I install both completely to each computer but at the end on the registration asked for this "Validation code" and the message says that I can't do it on-line nor by mail; so to call to this phone 1-800-833-6687 and in there have the message to come to the "support " Adobe website and do all this going around.
Now I saw previously that page you send me... I really don't understand it ... I got CS2 installed but I just need the validation code to get rid of that 30 days message...
Why I have to uninstall it??? Could you explain me please..

How we can get the values from one screen to another screen?

hi guru's.
how we can get the values from one screen to another screen?
we get values where cusor is placed but in my requirement i want to get to field values from one screen to another screen.
regards.
satheesh.

Just think of dynpros as windows into the global memory of your program... so if you want the value of a field on dynpro 1234 to appear on dynpro 2345, then just pop the value into a global variable (i.e. one defined in your top include), and you will be able to see it in your second dynpro (assuming you make the field formats etc the same on both screens!).

My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro. Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen. How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro. The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen. How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again? Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to. How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking? It's driving me NUTS.

The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

Hello Friends,
I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
(I'm using windows 7)
Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
Thank You.

Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.
