How do I prevent a 16:9 sequence from being "super-widescreened" in DVD-SP?

I shot a project in 16:9 and edited in FCP4, which transferred to DVD Studio Pro just fine. I recently upgraded to FCP5, after which I added a sequence to the project. I must have got the initial settings for the new sequence wrong, since it comes out in DVDSP as "super-widescreen": narrower from top to bottom and stretched horizontally.
When I examine the sequence in FCP it looks fine -- but it turns out that this is because "anamorphic 16:9" is NOT checked in sequence settings (as it is for all the other sequences in the project). If I do check "anamorphic 16:9" in sequence settings, it looks "super-widescreened" in FCP too.
Even if I export the sequence to DVDSP as mpeg2 in 4:3, it still comes out squashed and stretched. Same thing if I create a new sequence in FCP with a 16:9 preset and copy all the clips from the original sequence.
Is there any way to get this sequence back to the right aspect ratio without starting all over from scratch?
Many thanks in advance!

Try this...
Alter your Sequence Settings and check the Anamorphic 16:9
Once you've done that, select all your clips in the Timeline (press Command-A)
Press Option-Command-V to bring up the Remove Attributes dialog. There, select Distort from the Video options, then click OK.
Your clips should now fill the 16:9 frame (unless there is some issue with the anamorphic flag at the clip level).
Also, please be aware that if you've created any freeze frames from the timeline, they will have to be re-created, the Remove Attributes trick doesn't work on them (since they were created as 4:3 frames).

  • How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?

    I do enjoy using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser, BUT, I don't enjoy the details of my life, to include my Internet activity, to be archived by Google, or anyone else, via Mozilla's/Firefox's sharing of my Internet browsing and/or search engine activity with any aspect or facet of the Google organization. With all of this said, my question is, "How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?"

    Firefox's default behavior includes no automatic interaction with Google.
    We do use Google as default search engine and to report web forgery in the 'help' menu, but no data are sent to Google without your knowledge, and you can change your preferred search engine at will.
    However many websites themselves make use of Google Ads which do cause interaction with Google when you load the webpages. This is visible in status bar and happens in any browser. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript NoScript] add-on for Firefox can largely save you from this problem.
    If you see things happening otherwise, please reply with details on what you see.

  • How does one prevent a folder's contents from being read while running in target disk mode?

    I want to prevent a folder's contents from being seen or used by a second computer that is connected to my iMac when it is running in the firewire
    target disk mode. Whenever I put my iMac into the Target Disk Mode all of its disk contents, for all users on its disk, can be seen and used by the second computer without needing any passwords.  Does anyone know of a simple way, short of using FileVault, for protecting folder contents when viewed while running in the target disk mode? I would like to protect the entire contents of my "Documents" folder from being viewed by anyone that connects to my iMac via the firewire target disk mode.

    Many users make a password protected Disk Image using Disk Utility to keep selected files protected. I have one such image myself that I keep on my Desktop containing passwords and such. I'm not sure if you could put the entire contents of your Documents folder into a secure disk image but you could certainly make one and put your most sensitive items in it within your Documents folder.
    I agree with you for not wanting to use FileVault. I've never used it myself and am very leery of it due to things I've read from other users.

  • How can I prevent my Camera Archive import from being interrupted by timecode breaks?

    I'm trying to create Camera Archives from my old mini-dv tapes. I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV22 connected via FireWire. When I start the Camera Archive import process, everything is fine for a while but then the process stops with a message about a break in the timecode preventing the archiving from completing.
    Solutions to this problem I've seen online relied on changing import preferences in Final Cut 7. Unfortunately, I only have Final Cut Pro X and I'm not sure how to control this setting.
    I don't really care about timecodes, I just want to dump the entire tape to disk so I have a backup of the tape but the timecode break is interrupting the process and making me get involved a lot more often during the import process.
    Does anyone know how to force Final Cut Pro X to push through timecode breaks in a Camera Archive import?

    To clarify, this problem is not simply making me get involved more, but is preventing the Camera Archive operation from completing.

  • How can I PREVENT imessages and phone records from being deleted? Its good to be able to block things, but I need to know that no content is being deleted either.

    Restrictions allow the requirement of pass code to deletion of Apps, but not of actual phone content. That is only half the solution - if someone wants to communicate with another person badly enough, they will find a way to create a different user account, phone number, etc.regardless of whether or not the number/person is blocked. I need to see ALL communication and ensure nothing can be deleted without a pass code.

    There is no way to do that. If some one is creating new accounts to communicate with you after you've asked them not to, you have a bigger problem. You may want to talk to your local law enforcement about stalking.

  • How do I prevent the Lion boot partition from being reformatted when using boot camp?

    Under Windows 7, Computer Mgt, I shrink the C drive to create another drive.  When I right click on the unused drive to format it, 200MB Lion boot is formatted and assigned a drive letter F.  But I did not tell Windows 7 Computer Management to do that.  I clicked on the unused 170GB space to create it as F, I did not click on the 200MB Lion boot partition at the front of the list.
    Now I have to take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall Lion for me.
    I tried this twice and it happened twice.  So now I need to go back to the Apple store a second time for help on the same problem.
    Would the 200MB Lion boot disk at the front be safe from reformatting if I first made it drive letter F, and then made the new drive letter H at the right side of the drive list in Computer Management?  Also, there is an unlettered drive between the Lion drive E and the Windows 7 drive C.  Should I make that G prior to formatting drive H?
    By the way, I did this on another MacBook pro that was using Snow Leopard, following the same procedure, and had no problems.  So could a different version of Boot Camp be the issue?

    I just found an older question similar to this one that you also replied to. It was from 2012 and never solved. The only things I am using in my set up is a male quarter inch cable from my guitar to my interface, a USB cable from my interface to my computer, and headphones from my interface to my ears of course. Just like in the other question I found I have everything in the Audio MIDI Setup of the computer set to use the interface as input and output and I also have everything in garage band setup to use the interface as audio input and output. Any new track is recording the metronome and any old track that is being played in the headphones. No external speakers are being used for monitoring and no microphones are being used.

  • Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers time/date from being disabled while an application is running.

    Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers clock/time from being disabled while an application is running. The time and date can normally be reset while an application is running by clicking on the time/date in the lower right-hand corner of the computer screen. I have an application that runs over several days and it is critical that the time and date of the computer not be changed. Is there an easy way to lock this out from the user? Note that I am what I consider an advanced beginner in LV.
    Thank you,
    Chuck
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is not something you can do from LabVIEW, as it is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system that you're using. On Windows you can use a group policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent time and date change in windows".
    Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your entire message in the subject block. Keep the subject short, but descriptive enough so it can be understood what you are basically asking. Thanks.

  • Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

    Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

    Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • In windows live photo gallery it says an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

    in windows live photo gallery it keeps saying an error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed

    Hi Frank.
    Thanks for the response.
    Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
    The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
    So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
    If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
    According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
    Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
    1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
    2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
    Thanks again,
    PB

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.
