Mirroring ipad on standard tv How to get 4:3 aspect ratio

I just purchased my APT and connected it via Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter.
Everything works fine except mirroring from ipad to TV screen. it's squished and stretched vertically.
I know APT if made for HDTV's but we just can't afford one right now and I was wondering if anyone has any possible ideas, or suggestions as to how to get it to display correctly on the screen?
My tv is a sony trinitron kv-27s66 which doesn't have a lot of video control.
Tried changing to to widescreen but it didn't help.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Larry

As you already know this is an unsupported setup, since it is designed for a widesreen HDTV you will have issues with aspect ratio/resolution on a standard TV. The only possibility would be to see if there is anything in your TV's manual, within the limited settings, that you can try. Note: you will be unable to view protected content and functionality could cease at any time.

How to setup a new pixel aspect ratio?

Hi!
I created project in 1020x1080, ad for this res I need pixel aspect ratio 3,21:1.
Do You have solution how to achieve it?
best regards
Marcin

If your project is going to be displayed on two screens you need to know how it is going to be played back. If you are setting up synchronized playback of two video files set up your comp at 2X as wide as HD (3840 X 1080) but create two rendering comps that are standard HD and drag the 2X comp in each as a nested comp and adjust the position or anchor point to give you a left and right render.
If you are planning to setup the computer that plays back this file with two monitors then first you have to make sure that you can straddle the playback across both monitors. If so, then just render your 2X comp using a data rate that your media player will handle.
If you are not doing the playback then you MUST check with the client's equipment provider for specifications. Systems designed for playback on multiple screens do not necessarily follow any set standard you you must get the specifications from the supplier or your work product will only have a small chance of being usable.

FCP to IPod, how to preserve a 16:9 aspect ratio

I am trying to export a video through Compressor to play on an iPod. The video has a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the only file I can get to sync and play on the iPod is with extension .m4v (through the iPod H264 settings in Compressor), but this resizes the image to what appears to be a 4:3 aspect ratio. Is there any way around this, so that I can get a letterboxed 16:9 movie created in FCP to play properly on an iPod? Maintaining the 16:9 aspect ratio is very important. Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to answer this.

When you choose that preset, double click it to have the inspector show up. Go into the Encode window (2nd little square from the left below Description).
4th row down is Aspect Ratio. If it says 4:3, click the gear to the right and it should either come up 16:9 or you should be able to change to 16:9. Even though the 4:3 may be initially grayed out, the gear should be black so you can click it.
If that already says 16:9, someone else will need to chime in.

IDVD gets 4:3 aspect ratio wrong

I am using iDVD 7.1.2 with 10.9.5 on a macbook pro.
I'm trying to make a 4:3 DVD (legacy material, it's 4:3 from old VHS tapes).
I output a .mov file from Final Cut Express. The file plays correctly in Quicktime. I.e. I get the right (4:3) aspect ratio. Quicktime inspector reports the movie format as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC 720x480 ( 853 x 480).
I create a new DVD project, select 4:3 aspect ratio.
I import the movie and it is squeezed horizontally. I.e. the aspect ratio is 3:3 (maybe not precisely, but darned close). Everything is tall and skinny.
I tried changing the project to 16:9, hoping that would stretch things out, but all it did was add dark space on the sides of the video.
I've tried various different output sizes (using quicktime conversion in FCE), to no avail. I always get a 3:3 aspect ratio in iDVD.
I also burned to a disk image and played it with DVDplayer just to make sure that the preview in iDVD wasn't fooling me. It's 3:3, also.
Any ideas on what to do??????? I have a lot of old VHS to convert and would like to get a flow down pretty quick.

OK, I played around with this long enough that I think I have it.
The problem is actually the way I set up the sequence defaults in Final Cut Express (probably would work the same in FCP). I didn't realize I had the sequence set to "DV-NTSC anamorphic". It should have been set to "DV-NTSC".
The result was that I imported a 4:3 .mov file into FCE, where it seemed OK, even in that sequence. However, FCE had inserted black space on the right and left of the 4:3 video, creating a 16:9 video with a 4:3 inside of it and the black bars surrounding the video. When that was imported into iDVD, iDVD forced the whole thing to 4:3, which of course, forced the actual 4:3 video to 3:3. Changing the sequence preset too NTSC solved that problem completely.
One of the things that confused me was that two other DVD authoring programs handled this without obvious problems. Torch and Wondershare DVD converter both displayed the video at 4:3. Also, quicktime displayed it correctly. There were the black bars on the side, but the aspect ratio of the actual picture was correct.
I'm putting this here because I can imagine that some other beginner will confront this someday, and at least here is a record of the problem and the solution.

How to crop canvas and change aspect ratio?

I'm working on a project shot with an old camera from the 70s. I used that camera but recorded the signal on my mini dv camera. Now I have a black border on the right side of the image.
This project is going on the Web, not TV. How can I crop the canvas (and change the aspect ratio) without a black border? I know there's a crop feature in the motion tab, but that results in same aspect ratio with black border. Is this possible?
(I don't care if the aspect ratio is non-standard, and I don't want to letterbox.)

If you are going to the web (what means you'll downscale at the end) and you shoot using an old camera, the loss of quality of the upscaling probably means nothing in your final web encoding.
You can make a test upscaling just some seconds of your movie an encoding it for the web to check the final quality.
Hope that helps !

How do I get rid of Favorites sidebar in FaceTime in iPad?

I selected favorites in the FaceTime app in my ipad and it comes up as a transparent sidebar that I can no remove. I can not get to the back camera selector and I can not see the entire screen. How do I get rit of the favorites sidebar?

Are the Recent and Contact tabs showing?
The sidebar disappears when you start a FaceTime call.
If the app is not working along these lines then try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

How to crop to a specific aspect ratio, then resize to specific size?

HI,
I need a running start, could someone please help me accomplish a specific task.
1) I need to be able to restrict a crop tool to a specific aspect ratio, then resize the cropping tool as I like to make my selection.
2) After, I need to resize the image to a set size... (so all my pictures wind up the same size.)
After I would normally set my text the way I like it and add text to every picture (so it is the same size in all photos.) and save them.
I do this in Paintshop with ease, but do not see the kind of controls on the cropping tool, or a place to resize an image other than the save.
I just purchased Photoshop/Lightroom so I am in this with both feet, I could really use the help to get started in this because I need to work on this now or or go back to Paintshop until I can figure it out when I get the time.
Thanks,
It is not easy to ask for help.
Kevin

OK, first a basic explanation: LR is not like Paintshop or Photoshop because it is a Raw converter and all Raw converters work non-destructively. This means that any edits that you set in the Develop panel are not actually carried out on the original image file, but rather only recorded for future reference. That future moment comes when you export (create and output) a new tif, psd or jpg file, send an image to Photoshop or some other secondary editor, or send the image to a printer.
Now for the cropping: Select the crop tool in the tool bar under the Develop histogram. A drop-down menu offers a selection of the more common aspect ratios or you can set a custom ratio. Use the X key to toggle between landscape and portrait orientations. Set the crop box to the size and location you want by dragging the corners and close it. The crop is recorded in the catalog database file and this info will be used when you export the image. Because no actual cropping and/or resizing is done until export, the resizing instructions are on the Export dialog. This way the same crop configuration can be used with differently resized exports. Tick the Resize box and put in the pixel dimensions you want. Alternately, put in a size in inches or centimeters and a pixels per inch (ppi) resolution and LR will calculate the pixel dimensions. If you are resizing, I'd highly recommend also enabling Output Sharpening. It is interactive with the resizing and automatically does the optimum sharpening for the amount (and type) of resampling being done.
If you want a number of images to be the same size, export them all together by, after editing and cropping them, selecting them all in the Library grid or the filmstrip and then running the Export dialog

How can I import 4:3 aspect ratio?

I'm trying to import older videos and they are in 4:3 format. When I import them into iMovie, the content gets stretched to 16:9 format. Can I maintain the 4:3 ratio even with the black bars on each side?
Thanks for any direction.

In Project Properties, you can set up your project in 4:3 ratio. When you import, iMovie should automatically recognize that your footage is 4:3.
Yet sometimes it does not. I think the reason is that the oldest mini-DV cameras always shot 4:3. Then, later on, the mini-DV cameras shot anamorphic 720x480 (which is 3:2). So you could shoot either 16:9 or 4:3 with the 3:2 miniDV. This was accomplished with shooting in 3:2, and then attaching an anamorphic flag to the footage. If the flag was set to 4:3, the player would use squarish pixels. If the flag were set to 16:9, the player would use rectangular pixels.
So my guess is that your footage does not have the anamorphic flag set correctly.
To correct this, I suggest that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
As a step by step process....
1) Import into iMovie as always.
2) Right-click on your event clip. Choose "Reveal In Finder".
3) Drag this Finder clip into MPEG Streamclip.
4) In MPEG Streamclip, use FILE/EXPORT TO DV.... In the Dialog Box, set the Aspect Ratio to 4:3.
Save it to a different folder, but keep the same name (because the name may include date and time metadata).
5) Repeat this until you have all your clips. If you have a large number of clips, MPEG Streamclip has a batch mode.
6) Now you can import these new clips into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIES... I suggest you import them into a new event so you don't get confused with the original clips.

How do I change a pixel aspect ratio from HD 1920x1080 frame rate 25 to NTSC 640x480 frame rate 29.97

I upload files to a tv channel, but for them to air, they need to have a NTSC 640x480 pixel aspect ratio with a frame rate of 29.97. I currently have a .mov file HD 1920x180 frame rate 25. I deleted the original unedited files so all I have is the .mov file. I need to make my file NTSC 640x408 frame rate 29.97
Thanks please answer ASAP

If you aren't entirely happy with the image quality you get from this in FCP. consider buying Compressor ($49). Down-converting from HD to SD often introduces artifacts. Compressor has a resize filter that does a good job of minimizing those artifacts.

How to find out what your aspect ratio is?

I have completed my project in FCP 7 and I am trying to send it to a film festival. They need it to be a 1:77:1 aspect ratio-I think they mean 1:78 aspect ratio. I tried to analyze the clip but I don't see any aspect ration listed. Also how would I change the aspect ration on my project I already finished? Use Compressor?
Thanks in advance.

there's this wonderful new invention called "google." took me less than 10 seconds to find this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)
by searching "video aspect ratio chart." Forgive the snarkiness, but being able to research this by yourself is an important skill to have. Wikipedia is a great place to start looking
Here's the relevant quote "16:9 (1.77:1) (generally named as "Sixteen-Nine", "Sixteen-by-Nine" and "Sixteen-to-Nine") is the international standard format of HDTV,"
So what are your sequence settings? If you're material was shot within the last few years, it's almost definitely 16:9 (also known as 1.77:1).

How to check for different crop aspect ratios

The problem I'm having is that I have hundreds of images that I need to send to a photo print lab. Before sending off my images I have to make sure they all will fit correctly for 8x10 prints (5:4 aspect ratio) and other ratios but I need to keep them cropped in my camera's default 3:2 aspect ratio for people who want to buy 4x6 prints.
So what I do when I open all my images in Bridge's Camera RAW browser is fit and crop any images that need cropping but using the 3:2 aspect ratio. I then need to check to see if my crop will work as an 8x10 crop picture so that nobody's heads are cut off, etc. The problem Bridge is giving me is that when I crop the first time it doesn't allow me to check another crop without losing the original first crop. For example, I do my first crop as an 3:2 aspect ratio and then when I click on 5:4 to check for 8x10 prints it resizes the crop area which lets me check the crop for 5:4 but when I go back to 3:2 it doesn't go back to the original crop so I have recrop the original crop from memory. Is there any way to solve this problem? Basically crop it twice without loosing the first crop so that I can go back.
Also is there any way to quickly click on all aspect ratios like 5x7, 8x10, etc and have the crop centered in the image so that I can quickly check if anything is cut off? My lab is a high volume automated photo lab so they crop by using the center of each picture and I can only give them one image per person. Most of my images don't need cropping because I try to do it in camera but I have to check to see if they will fit for other crop sizes. Currently Bridge makes me create the crop size manually and then visually center the crop over my image. I would prefer quick buttons that when clicked on will show me what the crop will look like in different crop ratios. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks for any help you can give me

You might want to try this in Adobe Lightroom (it uses the same Camera Raw
engine as PS and Bridge).
In the develop mode you can use the crop tool with presets and custom
options that works faster and has an easier and better history tool to
retrieve your original crop setting than Camera raw in Bridge and PS has to
offer.
I would prefer quick buttons that when clicked on will show me what the crop
will look like in different crop ratios. Is there anyway to do that?

How to change from 16:9 aspect ratio to 4:3

I've created a movie in iMovie09 using still photos that I cropped to the Widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. It looks great, but now I want to change it to Standard 4:3. I can do this under Project Properties, but then when I play it, the right and left sides of the photos have been cropped off. It wouldn't be so bad except that many of this photos have text which spans the width of the photo; the sides of the text are cropped off. What I'd like to do is have the movie show in letterbox with black at the top and bottom, and have the entire photo displayed.
Any suggestions? I could go back to the beginning and recreate the movie with the 4:3 setting, but that will be very time-consuming. There ought to be an easier way.

You have already taken the first step, which is to switch to 4:3 in Project Properties.
Now, select a still and open the Rotate/Crop/Ken Burns Tool (on the middle bar). It sounds like it is set to "Crop". Change this setting to "Fit".
Repeat for all photos.
You can Edit/Copy the first still (after making the change). Then select the rest (using command-click or Edit/SelectAll). Then Edit/ Paste Adjustments.

How do you export a Pixel Aspect Ratio Corrected Image? (CS5)

I have a still pulled from Premiere Pro CS5, but it's in DVCPRO HD Pixel Aspect (960x720) I pulled it up in photoshop, which corrects it for preview purposes, but I want to export the corrected (1280x720) Image... The only way I've found so far is to create a new document with the corrected Aspect and drag the image to it, then export it... BUT I have a bunch of images to pull from these videos, is there a simpler way?
Thanks,
Aza

Aza,
There are two "Aspect Ratios" with many Video Images.
First, one has the Aspect Ratio of the Image - what you listedwith the 960 x 720. That is the width (in pixels) and the height (in pixels).
Then, there is the Pixel Aspect Ratio. Many Video Images do not use Square Pixels (PAR = 1.0), but instead a Pixel Aspect Ratio. This will be something like PAR = 1.212 (SD Widescreen), PAR = 0.9 (SD Standard), etc..
With a non-Square PAR, PS will display the Image with Square Pixels, as the computer uses Square Pixels.It will then warn you, that the display is in Square Pixels.
What is the PAR, that you wish to use? This can be altered via Image>Pixel Aspect Ratio, and PS will honor that, if you Save_As PSD, TGA, and several other formats, that support non-Square Pixels. What format do you need?
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - For more discussion on Video PAR, this ARTICLE should be useful.

How do you get full screen on MBPro with FaceTime??

When I am on a FaceTime call, the viewing screen is about 1/3 of the screen. When I click on "Full Screen" in the menu, it blanks the rest of the scrreen and moves the viewing screen from the middle to the left side.
I would like to get a full screen to view when I am on a call in Facetime and would appreciate your help and suggestions.
Thanks.
Vernon

Bottom of the viewing area, on the right side of the little function bar, click the double ended arrow that is at a 45 deg angle. The little inset window will move outside the frame and if he other person goes to Landscape mode you will get full frame.
