HOW TO CAPTURE FULL-RES IN QUICKTIME????

Hi
A friend of mine who doesn't have FCP needs to capture full-res DV Quicktimes of DV & DVCAM tapes.
However, when I select "device native" in the Quicktime Recording prefs, Quicktime captures a 640x480 movie, not a 720x480! I encounter this issue despite capturing from several different decks.
Now, the 640x480 recording looks squished; when I manually change that recording's resolution to 720x480, the image appears to be the proper aspect ratio.
But why isn't Quicktime capturing in DV's proper resolution to begin with? Please advise.

Simple answer:
Don't use the new "One Click" recording feature found in the Mac version of QT Pro if you wish to further edit the file in DV editing apps.
The button says that it will create a .mov file. Quicktime doesn't use the "rectangular" pixels (wrong phrase but you know what I mean) found in a DV source file.
Slower computers may also notice a significant "frame drop" when making these recordings.
The file created by QT Pro is correct. A 4:3 file should be 640X480 in dimensions. It is only when these 4:3 files are imported into DV editing app (iMovie, FCP) that you notice the change.
Since you must have QT Pro to make these "recordings" use its Movie Properties/Visual Settings window to change the dimensions.
If you use a DV source you are better served by importing the file using iMovie (or other apps).
Square pixels vs. rectangular pixels.
Your friend should import the .dv files using a DV editor.

  • How to import full res photo onto iphone

    Hey guys, this may sound silly but how do I import photos taken from my dslr onto my iphone 5 at full res? Right now they're blurry when I zoom i

    You're right. The images I uploaded from iPhoto were originally, approximately, 1 Mb each. When they were uploaded to the web, via iWeb publishing, they are all 60Kb - a significant drop in file size.
    To answer your query, specifically, if you want friends/family to have access to high res images, then photocast an album with the pictures you want to share.

  • How to download full res photo w/ iWeb?

    Is it possible for someone to download a full res (not just a thumbnail) photo directly from a photo that I have posted on a photo page of iWeb? I thought that this could be done by "right-clicking", but it does not seem to work. I know that I can create a separate file download page, but I was hoping that family could download the full res direct from the photo page? Thanks for any insight on this.

  • Just upgraded to Flickr Pro: How to reupload full res pictures from Aperture

    Hi,
    I've been exporing the Aperture sync feature with my Flickr Account for some time now and finally decided to get Flickr Pro. As I already have some albums synced, I'd like to reupload the full resolution picture to Flickr now from Aperture. Can somebody please explain how to do this? I don't want to delete my current albums and create new ones ... I hope there is somewhere an option to reupload the ful res pictures.
    Thanks,
    Diddy

    See if you can get your hands on a firewire cable, and another Mac. If so, target disk mode should solve your problems.

  • How to capture hi-res still frames?

    What's the best way to capture a maximum resolution still frame from a final cut movie or a quicktime movie?

    I followed your instruction, and it worked. Thanks. However, it converted my 16:9 image to a 4:3 image. It was simple enough to restore the proper aspect ratio in Photoshop, but I'd like to be able to export the still image and retain the proper aspect ratio. Do you know how to manage this?

  • How to capture full file path on Adobe Interactive Form using Acro JS

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
    *Start of JavaScript
    var sFile;
    event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
    var oFile;
    oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
    this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
    *End of JavaScript
    1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
    2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
    3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
    I have tried below way also:
    this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
    This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
    Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
    Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!

  • Full Res Quicktime export

    I've been asked to provide a Full Resolution Quicktime version of my video for broadcast (PAL), how do I achieve this via AME? My sequence is a 1920x1080p Canon DSLR format video. When I choose the Quicktime format, I'm only given standard definitions presets to choose from. However, I do get to choose various codec options, If I choose DVCPRO HD 1080p25, the sequence then becomes downscaled to 1440x1080. Is there a way to output to a full res (1920x1080) Quicktime file?
    Thanks for the help and advice.

    Some codecs are limited to certain resolutions.  DV for example.
    Choose a codec that allows the resolution you want.

  • How to view every frame, full res, in Viewer... settings?

    Hi, We use a strobe flash to sync multiple cameras on a live shoot (DV, NTSC, SD footage). Since I began using FCP and multi-cam, I can not always find the frame where the strobe pulses. Is there a way to increase the viewer settings to view every frame in full res? I would only need this to find the sync point then adjust back to normal editing settings. Thanks.

    In my ongoing HDV to SD investigations, I needed a view that was 1:1, and showed both fields of interlacing, and 100% seemed to be it - I think I just happened upon it, by trial and error.
    Glad to be able to share though.

    While on that subject, MPEG StreamClip is the only viewer I know of that does the same thing for the playback of interlaced MPEG's, you set the window zoom to match the frame size, and you get 1:1 interlaced viewing, aspect corrected on the horizontal, not the vertical.
    FCP, for the longest time, used to aspect correct on the vertical (scale the height, while keeping the width 1:1) but this is not what you want for seeing fields at 1:1. I'm glad to report FCP5 now scales the horizontal to correct aspect ratio (when view as square pixels is ticked) and keeps the vertical, and therefore the fields, at 1:1.
    Quicktime, and VLC both do field blending when viewing interlaced mpeg's, so you don't see the real interlaced footage. I actually prefer to see interlacing in computer monitors, especially if it is updated, one field at a time, at 60 updated fields per second - I think MPEG Streamclip does this - it might not though - its hard to fully see, but it looks smoother than the canvas / viewer playback, which is 30 frames per second.

  • How to import DVD+VR (full res.) into iMovie HD?

    I created the disks from old VCR tapes using a Lite-On DVD Recorder and now I want to edit them (full res.) and burn them back to DVD. This is one of the main reasons I purchased this comp. (sales clerk said it would do it "No problem") I've tried a couple different programs but it always comes out pixelated. This is my first Mac and everything else works great.
    Thanks in advance,

    Creating a DVD has already seriously compressed your VHS footage, so you can't edit at full resolution. The best way to use iMovie to convert VHS to digital is to use a miniDV camcorder as a pass-through between VCR and Mac. This will get your footage imported at the best resolution. You can edit in iMovie, send to iDVD to finish and compress to DVD format.

    You can convert yor DVD files into something that iMovie can handle, but you will have to get additional software for the conversions. Also, your quality will suffer. See how here:

  • Capture full resolution HD ?

    Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
    My project can only be 1080i 25p, and I can't really get the 25p from my HV20.
    I can not find any way to get screenshots in full resolution.
    How can I get to work in 1080i50 ? I want to capture and work in full res.

    Hello povlhp,
    Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
    What exactly do you mean by full resolution?
    How can I get to work in 1080i50 ?
    iMovie captures HDV via Apple Intermediate Codec, meaning it transcodes from the HDV MPEG-2 to a format that can be edited in iMovie. If you want to capture HDV natively, you'll need Final Cut Pro 5 or higher - but beware, editing HDV natively isn't without problems due to the compressed format.
    hope this helps

    Aperture has the ability to work with files in their existing location. They are called "referenced masters." When you import images, you should select the "In their current location" in the "Store Files:" drop down box. Have a read of the documentation for full specifics. Unsure how you can resolve your duplication; might be some work but next time have a read of the manual first
    Information for versions is stored in the Aperture database (library file). The masters can be inside the library file itself, or they can be somewhere else.

  • Capturing Low Res?

    Im new to Final Cut... i have used Avid for years... but i am now trying out Final Cut Studio... so far so good... but i have one problem. Is there anyway to capture low res footage? I am shooting on a Canon HV20 mini dv tape... and when i capture say 1 minute of footage its about 400mb??? at the size i cant fit anything on my computer... is there a way like with avid i can capture and edit in low res then when i'm finished with the project upres? Im using a Macbook (black one) 2gig i think. I dont want to have to haul around 20 500 gig drives!!! There must be a way right?

    You didn't say what you were shooting, but my 1TB firewire drive will hold about 70 HOURS of DV footage at full resolution.
    Don't know about your workflow but I sure prefer working with footage once and not having the hassle of downrez/uprez the way we used to have to do it in the dark ages.
    In any event, you do not want to capture to your system drive, media should always be separated from the drive your operating system and programs are on.

  • ICloud Photo Libary Full Res Download?

    I read that the high resolution originals can still be downloaded on request. How is this done on the iphone? How do I download a full res image within the iphone photos app? I currently use the Optimise storage option.

    wondering about that too ... not seeing any option allowing this. Only thing I heard is that high res would be downloaded on the fly while editing. Then back to "optimized" after the syncing with iCloud.

  • Jumpy playback with full res HD

    I am trying to edit full res HD(1920x1080, 4:2:2). When i am playing the clip in the viewer or the timeline it is real jumpy. Is this a hard drive performance issue? or is it something other then that.

    How much faster do you thng 2 750gigs in a raid 0 setup be?
    Depends on the Raid controller and the type of drives you have. I have a CalDigit S2VR Duo and can get 148MB/s Raid 0 empty, and 102MB/s 90% full. That is eSATA, and that is not recommended for uncompressed HD. DVCPRO HD, HDV, uncompressed SD, yes. You can purchase eSATA enclosures from OWC or Sonnet and get about that....85-105MB/s. But that doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room. Uncompressed HD requires a 4 drive SATA Raid or better for smooth playback.
