How to un-squeeze anamorphic footage after sound is synced?

Hello,
I imported some anamorphic footage, then synced all the sound, and am now trying to fix the aspect ratio/un-squeeze it. But the "interpret footage" option is greyed out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

strange, not sure why you cannot access interpret footage... does this happen in other projects? is it only happening with certain footage? if so what format? latest version of premiere etc?
a work around may be to nest your sequence, and then adjust the scale in effects>motion>uncheck uniform scale. then adjust hight and width to fill frame or close to desired result. you could import and overlay a picture at proper ratio to compare if needed.

They would be in whatever supported contact application you selected to sync contacts with on the Info Pane in iTunes...Outlook, Windows Address Book.

If they are no longer stored in your iTunes library and were only on your iPod, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Sorry.

How to remove 3:2 pulldown properly from 24p SD 16:9 NTSC footage (After Editing)

Hi,
I'm currently editing a full length feature film and originally imported all the footage directly into final cut making the timeline become a 29.97 timeline, when the pulldown should have been removed before the fact. After much research I know that you can properly remove the 3:2 pulldown from the 24p footage after editing and can be done in compressor. I've tried a number of different compressions and seem to have the dimensions correct which is good. But the 16:9 footage when brought into iDVD or dvd studio pro it seems to want to make the footage 4:3 which is quite confusing and frustrating. I need to be able to get my compression settings correct so that i'm able to put this on a dvd properly. I originally exported the footage from final cut as DV/NTSC and made sure it was 16:9 coming out of final cut. The resolution is 720x480 but comes out as 853x480 as its dimensions and has a squeezed look to the video as it did on its timeline unless the preserve aspect ratio button was unchecked. The only way around getting the squeezed look to go away is to go through compressor and make sure that letterbox is turned off so that its a full screen. Even though its a large file size I compressed using apple pro res to get the best resolution I could, but I need the best results with the lowest file size since the running time is roughly 1:43:00. The footage looks good coming out of compressor, but for some reason even though its full screen 16:9 everytime it is brought into iDVD or dvd studio pro it wants to make it 4:3? what is the reason for this! I recently read an article on this problem and the reverse telecine option within compressor is used to remove the extra frames that final cut adds, and makes the video of better quality relieving the horizontal lines that are caused by the extra frames. I need help on this and I know it can be done because people have proof that it works but I can't seem to reach a solution myself. Thank you to all who reply much appreciated!

What happens when you drop a 4:3 clip - with its anamorphic flag cleared - into the 16:9 sequence ?
I have not been doing exactly this, but I have been going the other way, to produce letterboxed 4:3 footage from 16:9 HDV.
I found, when dropping the clip in, FCP automatically set a scale and distort, to correct for the differnce in aspect ratio - does it do this for you for 4:3 SD on a 16:9 SD timeline ?
Remember, you have to re-open a clip, from the sequence timeline, to see its motion settings in that timeline - I keep forgetting this, drop a clip on, then wonder why nothing I change on the clip happens in the sequence!
Regarding the final output, it all sounds fine, except for the possibility of the 4:3 TV output - the 16:9 footage would be okay letterboxed, but the original 4:3 footage would be better 1:1 - if you had to pillar box the 4:3 in the 16:9 (probably what FCP would do by default) and then letterboxed that when making the 4:3, you'll end up with a box in box, plus interlacing problems from the rescale.
I would consider making a second 4:3 sequence, once you have finished the edit on 16:9, try copying all the 16:9 edits (Cmd-A, Cmd-C) and pasting them into the new 4:3 (Cmd-V) - then its a case of leaving the 16:9 letter boxed, or zooming and panning it for 4:3, and removing the scale / aspect from the 4:3 sequences alltogether, so they play normally.
Messy - isn't it ?
Good luck!

Anamorphic footage distorted after multiclip cut

This question has been posted a few times but no answers yet.
I'm editing a multiclip of 2 cameras, both anamorphic footage. I put the multiclip in an anamorphic sequence. At first everything is fine.
BUT once I make a cut to my 2nd camera, that 2nd cam's "distort" attribute changes from 0 to 33.33 EVERY TIME. No biggie, I can remove that attribute but it's getting annoying! It's only the 2nd cam ... if I cut back to the first cam, it remains undistorted.
The "anamorphic" column in Item Properties is check for both cams & multiclip ... even the distorted cam. So any other ideas???

I JUST had this issue happen to me. Unfortunately my eSATA expresscard prematurely ejected causing my scratch drive to go offline. Upon reconnecting the media, it told me that some files out points were off and needed to be adjusted, or something like that. My multiclip continued through the end, but I immediately noticed that my previously 16:9 footage was now 4:3 within a 16:9 frame. After checking to make sure they were Checked anamorphic, I opened the files in the Finder, which were still anamorphic. The solution was what was listed above, Remove Attributes->Distort. Somehow a distort was added to my clips. Selecting all and removing cleared a hassle that could've taken infinitely longer to fix but also just to diagnose. This isn't as much an answer to your problem but as help for anyone else having this problem with multiclips and not being anamorphic.

Bringing anamorphic footage into a 4:3 Motion project

I'm sure this is an easy fix but I haven't really had a day off in weeks so I'm a little fried. I have DV Cam footage that was shot anamorphically. When placed in a 16:9 sequence in FCP with the anamorphic box checked in the item settings everything is fine. I have to incorporate this footage into a 4:3 Motion project that I already created. When I bring it into Motion, it is squeezed to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio. How do I make the footage 16:9 in Motion?

Open up the inspector for the media, there is a drop down menu in there.
or you could just drag the x dimension out to 133%

Audio ducking : is there a way to hide the original footage's sound? Its grey-ed out.

My original footage's audio needs to be removed. I would love to just take it out but if I need to cover it up with ducking thats ok too. How do I hide the original footage's sound? I turned each clip to 0% but its not working.

Tim,
You might try including the IFERROR function in your expression. This will suppress the error message.

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

Thanks. I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players). It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe. Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter. What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant? It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be. What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate? Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur? I have read Photoshop. Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

How does "systemctl suspend" mess with my sound?

Hi there,
I just wanted to say I am really impressed with the desktop handling of systemd and dbus. It's so easy to use all the nice applets across different WMs. Cool
Now there are however still things that amaze me. How can happen that when I suspend my system "systemctl suspend", that means my sound might be messed up, when I get back to my system and even after a restart?
I am not looking for the answer, I will find that sooner or later, but it's the logic I want to get. It's just not something I expect or even remotely relate.
tl;dr How does a suspend screw up my sound system??
Best,
Magum

Maybe it's resetting or not restoring sound? You have a systemd unit files called:
My Terminal wrote:alsa-restore.service static
alsa-state.service static
alsa-store.service static
I think you need alsa-store and alsa-restore. But I'm not sure.
If it doesn't work with suspend (but it does with reboot) then you might have to add a WantedBy to sleep.target.

Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

How to make an before and after effects?

So, I want to make a video that show the audience this is before and after the edit. And i want to make it look like this YouTube Rewind 2014: Behind the Scenes - YouTube
How to make it?
Thanks:)

Really? You take footage of you shooting the video with another camera then you edit it together with shots of the finished project. If you want to show before and after shots of an effect you just put the original footage on top and animate a mask or opacity to reveal the rendered effect below.
If you can't figure out how to make a before and after then you will have a very difficult time doing any effects using AE because there is absolutely nothing in this before and after but very basic editing and masking.

How to undo the "replace with after effects composition" command?

Hi,
I don't know if there is a better way, but i make my color corection in after effects with Color Finesse and i use this command: right click on clip and "replace with after effects composition" - that a good way but, the problem is when i wanna to undo this and to bring back my old clip from an AE Composition.
this is how my clip looks beforee
and after
it works fi i use "undo" command, but after i save the project, and restart premiere, that command is gone.
my question: what can I do to bring back my old video?
thanks.

You can try to go to one of the autosave versions and see if you can bring it back that way (if the history is cleared)...
Seems a little extreme
If you still have the original source audio in your sequence, as your example shows, park the CTI at the beginning of clip instance and target just the audio track (i.e. deselect the video track). Hit the M key to match frame the original master clip, hit I to mark an in point, and then hold down the Alt key and drag the Video Only button from the Source Monitor to the AE comp item. The AE comp will be replaced with the original video and linked to the audio.
The upshot of all this is that, unless you make a duplicate before using the "Replace" command or undo immediately after doing so, there is no direct way to get back to the original footage.

So you can ping and nslookup from your ms to these agents and vice versa right? I wouldn't do a manual install, I would push the agent from the management server. You can uninstall the agent manually, or use cleanmom to get rid of them. Then
do an install from the console. When you initiate the install from the console (management server), should it run into any issues it will dump out an error which will give you an idea of where the problem may be.

1. Ensure agent push account has local admin rights
2. Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access. If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed. We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall.
