Import a mov from qT, in Motion it has the wrong proportion

I am trying to import a project into Motion from Quicktime, the quicktime file was created at 16:9 1024 x 576 pixels PAL from a Final Cut Project. When I open it in Motion the movie is squashed it is too tall and not wide enough. I have tried acessing the preferences and adjusting project presets, the project properties, adjusted aspect ratios, but in the end I am not sure what I should be playing with. Is it just a question of pixel aspect ratio? Which settings should I have to adjust, and which should I leave be? Is there a way to import to motion so it opens without changing its proportions?
thanks

I think I am having some confusion going from Final Cut to QT mov to Motion,
not sure what parameters I should be stting each project up in if I am using a photo slide show to be seen on a 16:9 screen. Not sure where I am having the problem. It seems that the QT mov I exported is correct, but cant find the right configuration in Movie to get it to the correct proportion in the viewer. Is this the project set up parameters, or preferences settings, or film property settings?
thanks

  • Importing long movies from iPhone 4S

    I am trying to import long movies from the iPhone to iMovie.  I am able to use image capture to transfer the movie from the iPhone, but then I can't import it into iMovie.  I set iMovie to import the file, and it says that it is doing so and that it is generating thumbnails, but then when it finishes nothing shows up in iMovie.  I have made sure that I have ample room in my hard drive, which I was told at the Genius Bar could be affecting iMovie's ability to work with the movie, so that's not the problem.  Ultimately, I'm looking to be able to transfer the movie to iDVD so I can burn a DVD. 
    I've tried importing directly into iMovie and iPhoto.  I get the same non-result in iMovie and an error message in iPhoto.
    I'm using iMovie '11 version 9.0.4 (1634), on Mac OS X, Version 10.7.3 on a MacBook Air.  The movie is about 65 minutes long.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what was the solution?  I admit to being very surprised at the difficulty of doing an Apple-Apple transfer.  Thanks.

    What might be happening is you might need to Optimize the Video to Full Size. Use the File Menu > Optimize > Full Size for each of the video clips in your iPhoto Videos folder inside of the iMovie Events Library. That should trigger iMovie to recognize the original size/resolution of the video clips and then enable the HD size output in the iMovie Share Menu.

  • IMovie doesn't import all movies from iPhoto - at least one solution

    I noticed that iMovie 08 imported my movies from iPhoto, but strangely not all of them. A quick search of the support forums indicated many others were having the same issue.
    After comparing file attributes of movies that were importing successfully into iMovie versus movies that didn't show up, I found that a rogue character ("&") was preventing iMovie from importing the file properly.
    Renaming the title in iPhoto does not resolve the issue, since the file name (in Finder) remains the same. However, if I make a copy of that file outside of the iPhoto Library, rename it in Finder, then re-import it back into iPhoto, then iMovie will see it. I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.
    I found this to work at least with my .avi files. I still have the same issue as everyone else with iMovie not importing .mpg files that play properly in iPhoto.

    +I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.+
    Good thinking! The only way to change the filename in iPhoto is to export the movie file, import it back in, copy over comments, keywords from the old to the new movie, and then delete the old movie.

  • I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share Media Browser, but it is not highlighted. What should I do?

    I imported a movie from PhotoBooth to IMovie. I want to put the movie on my blog. To do that I have to select Share >Media Browser, but it is not highlighted in IMovie. What should I do?

    Is the clip only in your Event Library in iMovie?
    You need to create a Project (File > New Project).
    Then move the clip into the project, do any edits and you should be able to Share your Project to Media Browser.

  • Import local mailboxes from one account to other in the some computer

    I need to import local mailboxes from one account to other in the some computer. I have tried copy/paste from one user/library to other, but mail went crazy with permission and even if I changed them manually now Mail can't save the passwords of the mailboxes, so I need enter each time Mail check the mail from the server. Any idea?

    You need to let Mail do the Import, and not do this manually in the Finder.  However, if you force a reindexing things may get back to normal.  This assumes you are not talking about mailboxes in account folder, but rather On My Mailboxes?
    To reindex all mailboxes force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
    Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

  • How do I delete an Icon from my desk top from Print Shop? It has the name rTmpFile4.

    How do I delete an Icon from my desktop from Print Shop? It has the name: rTempFile4.

    Open iTunes on your iMac.
    In the lefthand column of the iTunes window that opens, under Library, click on Apps.  A window will open that will show all the Apps you've downloaded.  If you downloaded the App via the iPad, you will have needed to sync the iPad and the iMac previously for the App to be listed. (I think)
    Click on the App you want to delete, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.  A window will open asking you to confirm that you want to delete the app.  Click the confirm button.
    Good luck.

  • Can't import video (.mov) from Coolpix P100 camera to iPhoto

    I can't import any .mov files from my Coolpix p100 camera to iPhoto (iPhoto '08, version 7.1.5) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I can import pictures no problem when I use a firewire connection from the camera to my iBook G4. This is the message I get:
    Unreadable files.
    The following file could not be imported. (The import failed)
    DSCN0573.MOV
    For example, I can see the .mov file under "Information" before I try to import. It says it is a QuickTime movie, 274 MB. I can watch it on my camera.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Is there a chance the .mov file could be imported via some
    third party (free ware) video software into the Mac, such as
    VLC or a shareware video utility; perhaps Snapz ProX?
    Another idea may be to see if the iMovie software would do it.
    This topic has come up several years ago, and depending on
    the model or brand of camera in some cases, different paths
    were taken to get the product and files to work.
    In a few cases, some proprietary software provided limited
    support for a camera's feature set; some didn't work for Mac.
    When the camera creates a hybrid image file, and their own
    software was not available in a Mac format, another may be
    available to provide the missing link.
    There may be some third-party plug-ins that may allow the
    QuickTime you have, to open and view the .mov files; not
    sure what exact ones would qualify, however, to do it.
    With my cameras, which can create .mov files, I have not
    experimented with them; as both are essentially still image
    cameras and know the results wouldn't suit my projects.
    Hopefully one of the video player software products can help.
    Good luck & happy computing!
