Interpretation rules not working; can't change pixel aspect ratio

Hi,
I'm following the instructions on the Adobe help site here...
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/aspect-ratios.html
...so that I may use custom pixel aspect ratios in the interpret footage dialog box.
Unfortunately none of my changes to this file have any effect, and I'm clueless. These are cinemaDNG sequences and I'd like to keep working with them raw, otherwise I would take the time to export them and stretch them en masse through AE.

Hi Kevin, a mix of BMPCC and 5Dmk3 Magic Lantern. ML raw at 60p has a non-standard PAR, most of my footage is shot in this format. I need 0.65, the closest is 0.9091. I was disappointed at first to find no ability to manually enter the value, then elated to find the Interpretation rules text file, then disappointed again to find it doesn't work...hoping this ends well!

How can I change the aspect ratio of an image display

I am snapping a sequence of images and using imgPlot to diplay the images. However, due to my camera specifications [it's a Pulnix 9701 with Pixel Size 11.6μm (H) X 13.3μm (V)], the image I get displayed is elongated in the horizontal direction, i.e. if I snap an image of a square, I get a rectangle on my computer display.
How can I change the aspect ratio of the display on my computer? The only parameters I have seen so far just control what portion of the image is acquired or diplayed, but none actually changes the aspect ratio.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are using an analog camera, you can set the aspect ratio in MAX. This will correct for non-square pixels.
If you are using a digital camera, I don't think there is a way to fix it during acquisition. You could resample the image to correct the ratios, but that would be a slow, time consuming process.
One other possibility is that your computer monitor is in a mode which is not a standard 4x3 configuration. For example 640x480 and 800x600 are 4:3 ratios. 1200x1024 is not, which tends to distort your displayed images.

How can I change the aspect ratio

I connected my new Apple TV 2 to an LCD projector (Epson 9300) using a Belkin HDMI-to-DVI cable. The projector supports a variety of resolutions, but the aspect ratio is fixed at 4:3. The picture is therefore stretched vertically. How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?

How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?
You can't. The TV device plays content at the encoded aspect ratio. It is up to your viewing device to alter the display aspect if it can. Your primary options are to use a different viewing device capable of multiple aspect ratios, scaling, and/or zoom effects or you could simply letterbox your content when you encode it.

Change Pixel Aspect Ratio Once Already Started?

I've been having trouble with my video looking extremely blurry -- I thought it had to do with rendering but it looks the same rendered as it did before rendering. I think I figured out that it has to do with the pixel aspect ratio being too small (or is it frame size, or are those the same thing? It's all very confusing for me!). The final output for this video is YouTube, but it also looks blurry within Premiere (mainly when stretching the Program Monitor so I can see it larger).
I helped on a video a few months ago that looked perfect, everything was really crisp in Premiere (after rendering, that is) and when exported to YT. The pixel aspect ratio was 1920x1080 for this video, and the one I'm working on now is 720x480.
So, can I enhance the pixel aspect ratio of the video I'm working on now? If I'm not able to change the pixel aspect ratio once I've started the project, what would be your advice going forward?
Thanks, and please let me know if you need any more information!

You need to be sure your sequence setting matches
the frame size and aspect ratio of your source media.
To create a sequence that matches your footage, try this:
Once you have created a properly configured sequence,
you can copy (Ctrl+C) then paste (Ctrl+V) your already edited
clips into the newly created sequence.

Changing pixel aspect ratio during cropping (LR3.2)

When I crop sometimes the pixel aspect ratio changes here. I.e. the pic get stretched in horizontal or vertical way/or compressed. Any body seeing this also? After some time it does change to normal, but it makes cropping rather difficult when in a hurry.

I'm not sure I understand your problem, but I think what bothers you is the technique that has been in place in LR2 already for switching between landscape and potrait format of the crop, which in LR3 can be acomplished by the X keyboard shortcut.
Moving your mouse horizontally or vertically on a locked aspect ratio, the format will change from portrait to landscape or vice versa. To enlarge or diminish the size of the crop, you have to move the mouse diagonally.

How do i change pixel aspect ratio of an image in elements9?

My camera only shoots in one format ratio, i would like to change images to 2:1, or 1:2. Without cropping or letterboxing. (Hence i think it is the 'pixel' aspect ratio i need to alter, not the 'picture' aspect ratio). Is this possible in elements or is it something else i can't do in elements; and just another reason why i should've bought CS5 instead??

You can use a custom crop and Elements will automatically re-sample the pixels. You won’t get any distortion but you will sacrifice part of the image.
In this example the original image was 3872 x 2592
I divided 3872 by 2 and changed the height in the options bar to 1936
Part of the sky had to go but still a pleasing result.
Result
You can position the crop shield anywhere. e.g. depending on the original you may want to loose part of the top or bottom. Simply move the image around to get the best composition then hit the green checkmark.

Change pixel aspect ratio

Hi all,
My school requires me to produce all my videos in a format of 768px by 576px, square pixels, PAL format. I need to know how to change the pixel aspect ratio to 768x576 with the standard PAL format and square pixels. I can see that when you start a project you can set the size, but the boxes that contain the pixel size are shadowed out and I can't select them to change them. I have also tried to modify the project after it was created, using project settings and sequence settings, but again, I was not able to select the boxes that included the pixel aspect ratio.
Please help soon, as my project is due within hours.

My source material is 768x576 animations from Maya. The output needs to be .avi format, but it's not going onto a DVD or a DV tape or a web video, it just needs to be uploaded to my instructor's computer.
I am trying to export a file with the correct aspect ratio now. I set the output to codec=none, and changed the aspect ratio to 768x576. It seems unable to output the file, as I have tried four times and it has given me an error each time. Is a codec necessary? Is that what's freaking it out?
Also, the final video will only be 2:28 long, and I have set the scratch disk to a drive on my computer that has 78 GB free, so I hope it is not running out of processing space.
Thank you for your help and patience with this problem. I'm not sure I get the reason for the format myself, which is probably why I'm having trouble explaining why this is so important. However, my instructor told us numerous times that we absolutely had to have a final file that was 768x576, so I figured I had to make every effort to get it done that way.

Changing Pixel Aspect Ratio with Aperture

i was wondering if aperture has a way of changing the pixel aspect ratio from square to DI/DV NTSC or HDV. so far i am using photoshop to do that but would love to do it inside aperture.

Not that I'm aware of. Pixels are pixels to Aperture. You could always crop your images to the right aspect ratio.
If you're looking to burn photos to DVD perhaps iDVD or DVD Studio Pro could resize your images to the proper size.

Can I change the aspect ratio of existing projects?

Over the past few years, I created a number of iDVD projects of special occasions. I guess the default aspect ration in the older versions of iDVD was 4:3. I now have a widescreen TV and would like to view these videos in 16:9 mode. The TV can change aspect ratios but it distorts the video. Is there a relatively easy was to redo IDVD projects to change the aspect ratio to widescreen?

The TV can change aspect ratios but it distorts the video. Is there a relatively easy was to redo IDVD projects to change the aspect ratio to widescreen?
Depends on your goals here. You can duplicate what your widescreen TV and do fairly easily but you would still end up with screen distortion if you use the entire 4:3 display area. It is is also reasonably easy to crop your 4:3 aspect to a 16:9 area within the 4:3 viewing area and burn this to a DVD. While this would prevent distortion, part of your viewing area would be lost and the result would be the same as using the the "Zoom" display on your widescreen TV. A third option might be to select a 16:9 viewing area within the original 4:3 display area. Unfortunately, this would would normally require an advanced editing application or cropping and scaling either as a whole or in selected segments. In either case it requires a much greater effort on the part of the user.
In short, actually changing an aspect ratio from is original aspect is either easy but causes distortion or it is difficult and time consuming. Further, in either case you are merely duplicating what your TV can already do. If you don't want distortion, use 16:9 "sourced" (either original or cropped) content. If you want to reduce the distortion (and your particular TV has the option), use the "Justify" viewing option which applies little or no distortion at the center of the viewing area and most distorion towards the left-right edges of the screen. Otherwise learn to live with the distortion and decide whether you prefer the distortion being applied to the DVD or just on the viewing screen.

Yikes! Need to change pixel aspect ratio.

Hey folks, please be gentle, I'm really new to After Effects.
I created a fairly large composition in AE CS3. The dimensions are correct for the ultimate deployment (1536 x 680) but I've just discovered that my pixel aspect ratio was set incorrectly. I have it set to "D1/DV NTSC Widescreen (1.2)" and it needed to be set to "Square Pixels." So when I preview my project there are black bars top and bottom. When I change the pixel aspect ratio of my compositions to "Square Pixels" it literally cuts off my content on both sides. Gah. I don't have the time to rebuild the entire project!
Any suggestions? All help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Mylenium, thank you! Yeah, pixels are pixels, darn it!
Please let me just clarify ...
In my Render Queue I go to Output Module Settings and choose something like "JPEG Sequence" and render it out. (Will that make, like, a million individual files? I've got 3 compositions and they're all about 3 minutes long.)
Then create a new composition that is the correct size AND pixel aspect ratio.
Then import whatever was rendered out.
Sorry for the need for hand-holding!

Has anyone else encountered a problem with poster frames not recognising a video's pixel aspect ratio

I'm discovering a strange effect with some of the .mp4 videos I've upload into iBooks Author. They're Pal SD 4:3 .movs with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio and they play out fine on the iPad. However the iBooks software seems to be ignoring the pixel aspect ratio of the poster frame. This leads to the situation.
1) When I drag my video into iBooks author all looks good - the video is 16:9 and if I choose to set a poster frame (or leave it at default) it looks 16:9 in the iBooks Author.
2) I preview my book and it opens in iBooks on the iPad. But now the poster frame aspect ratio is 4:3
3) I click on the video to start playing and it immediately jumps to 16:9 aspect ratio and plays out fine.
4) If it scroll down a couple of pages and then scroll back the video poster frame has now reset itself to 4:3
This sounds like a bug to me. Anyone else had it? Do you know if it's possible to report bugs without having a Developer licence?
Thanks for any help
Rob

While there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.

How can i change the aspect ratio in Event Library?

the videos i imported to iMovie from iMac look horizontally distorted. i took them with an iPhone4. when importing them, i chose 16:9 ratio, this may be the reason. i can not change the ratio to 3:2. Thanks.

Hi likethis,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The iPhone 4 records at HD 720 p, so that is why your clips are distorted.
iPhone 4 - Technical Specifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/sp587
Video recording, HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio
5-megapixel still camera
Do you still have the clips on your iPhone? If so, here is how to import them into the latest version of iMovie:

How can I change the aspect ratio in imovie 10.0.1

After importing a movie in to the new updated version of iMovie which is 10.0.1 I noticed all the frames were elongated ( stretched out of proportion ), can some one tell me please how to keep the original ratio when importing or and how to change it after importing.
I first thought that maybe it was just how iMovie iMovie shows this aspect only when editing and that when the move was finalised it would revert back to its original ratio with any changes that i made, Only after two and a half hours of finalising this was not the case and the movie plays back stretched.
HELP!

You can't.
iM10 is 16:9 only.

Can I change the aspect ratio of the storyboard template in Pages to 16x9?

Every time I try to drag a side of the storyboard panel it keeps the aspect ratio constrained to 4:3. I'd like to make it more rectangular to fit my 16x9 storyboards. Suggestions?

Jason,
With object(s) Selected, open an instance of the Metrics Inspector and deselect "Constrain Proportions".
