MAKING THE TIMELINE EXPORT WIDESCREEN

Hey Guys:
I've been working on different settings for a while and can not seem to find the right combo. I have DV NTSC footage that was shot 16 x 9 (widescreen).
I take those clips after importing and try to put into my timeline.
I set the timeline settings at 4:3 and then with the anamorphic 16 x 9 aspect ratio. When I export and then play it in Quicktime. The widescreen is not there. Meaning the black bars on top and bottom are gone and it is a regular squared up picture. Can anyone think what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your time,
D

What version of FCP are you using .. I thought this was addressed in FCP7.
16:9 "Anamorphic" is really 16:9 video stretched to fill a 4:3 frame ... yes it really is. During playback by apps that know what the correct display format should be its just squeezed down to 16:9 again (but the raw video is still 4:3). What you are seeing with Quicktime Player is the raw aspect ratio ... and thats because Quicktime Player doesn't know that it should display it as 16:9
Open the clip in *Quicktime Player 7*, then press Cmd-I to show the *Movie Inspector* window.
Now select the Presentation tab in the lower pane, and enable *Conform aperture to*: with the setting set to Clean or Production.
Does it display as 16:9 for playback now?
Best
Andy

  • Unknown error making the ibooks export file

    Hi,
    Have done it hundred times already but for some reason now I get "a unknown error" in the proces of making the .ibooks export file out of the .iba.
    Does somebody have a clue what first things first I have to check? Put already some back-ups back but also the same problem.
    working on Mountain Lion 10.8 OSX, ibooks author 1.1 (190). Dutch versions.

    Solved. There was an error somewhere in the book. Chapterheading and text frame overlapped.

  • Making individual clips from the timeline.

    So here's what I'm trying to do: put a mess of clips in a row on the timeline, use the blade tool to pick out the bits I want, then take those bits and get the individual clips to export through compressor, and to do this by making as few duplicates as possible (I would like to media manage the project or save space in any way possible). Again, I don't want the timeline as an edited sequence, I am trying to pull individual clips. Also, I need to be able to name them differently (which I can't seem to do by simply pulling the clips into a bin-I rename one and all the ones like it get renamed as well). What is the best way to do this?

    1.) Then don't use sequences for this type of work.
    2.) Then adjust your In & Out points to create handles.
    From the Manual, what is a subclip:
    A clip created to represent a limited portion of a media file. By artificially
    limiting the duration of a media file, a subclip allows you to work with smaller
    sections of a media file. These subclip limits can be removed at any time so you can
    work with the whole clip. For example, if an original media file is 10 minutes long, the
    Browser clip is also 10 minutes long. You can make a 1-minute subclip and work with
    the subclip as if the media were only 1 minute long. For more information, see
    Chapter 2, “Creating Subclips,” on page 35.

  • "Program error" When I click on the timeline/motion controls or try to export/save as my animation. PS CC late 2014

    I have been working on an animation for an online ad. The file is 300 by 250. It's about 24 seconds long. I had completed and saved my work as a GIF file. I also saved some static JPGs of the animation. Everything was still working at this point. Then I closed Photoshop and reopened the PSD file to export it to a different format, but when I clicked on the time-marker in the timeline window or tried to edit my animation, I got this error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error." Watch the following video to see exactly what happens:
    I'm running Adobe Photoshop CC November 2014. I'm working on a PSD file, 24 seconds long, 30 fps.
    I looked in my library/preferances/adobe folder for photoshop's error log file. This is the error in that file:
    2014:11:12 18:30:17 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140730.r.148/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ ULinkManager.cpp : 1380 : REQUIRE failed
    Thank you so much for reading this. It sucks to work so long on an ad and then have this happen for seemingly no reason. Please help if you can.

    Looks like issues with some linked smart objects... You could try and copy/ move the whole shebang to another location in the hopes that it either fixes the issue or PS completely forgets the linked files completely so you might relink/ replace them.

  • Text created in Premiere showing other text files in the timeline and exports.

    Hi,
    I'm creating slates with text generated in Premiere. For each new slate I am duplicating a text layer, Option + Dragging the duplicate file over the text I'd like to replace, then opening the new text layer in the text editor and updating the information.
    Things seem fine at first and then randomly text layers in the timeline will show text from other files in the timeline. If I open the text file up in the text editor I see the correct info but not in the timeline.
    The only fix I have found is to delete render files, move the text layer around in the timeline, quit and re-open. But still, sometimes when I export, the export preview window will show the wrong text and when I export the file I create shows the wrong text as well.
    It seems like Premiere is getting confused by multiple text files in the timeline and is pointing to the wrong cache files.
    Thoughts would be a huge help!

    Thanks for the tip Kevin. Anything I can do to avoid this in the future?
    I've had this happen on a number of projects. My media and project files are on a SAN, cache and previews are local.
    Thanks,

  • STRANGE: single clip missing in export! (but still in the timeline)

    Strangest thing: I exported a project... and a SINGLE clip is missing. BUT... the "key" over that clip shows up (over "black.") Hmmm... So I went back to the timeline... the clip is STILL THERE! So, I re-rendered, exported again... SAME THING. That one darned clip goes "black" w/ the key over it. Any suggestions?

    NOTE: Had no problem exporting this same project before.
    1.) even clip info = 720 x 480 / 29.97 fps (same as ALL clips throughout entire project)
    2.) Timeline info = 720 x 480 DV Anamorphic 29.97
    3.) Here's the clip in the timeline. (see image, it's the gentleman in the labcoat) Amazingly, in the export the "keys" appear over black. Just this ONE clip is missing--audio and video. No other clips are affected.
    4.) Finally, here is how I am exporting the project: (see image)

  • When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

  • Import and Export sections of material present in the Timeline

    Hi,
    I know it is possible with Premiere EL 11 to import and export titles.
    I have an existing movie and am working on a new one. I wish to utilize part of what I created on the previous movie. Is it possible to copy part of the old movie and paste it into my new project being a different file? If yes, how to?
    If not, then I start understanding why they sell EL for.
    Thank you

    If you wish to move the elements in the Timeline, separate, then you will need a ClipBoard Extender app., like ClipMate, to Copy the desired Clips, Titles, etc., then Open a different Project move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired location, and Paste. You cannot do that, without a Clipboard Extender.
    If you are using the WAB (Work Area Bar) to Export/Share a portion of the Timeline, you will NOT get the separate elements, i.e. Clips, Titles, etc., but an AV file, with those written to the new, output file. Editing that output file will be tougher, as the elements are now all combined, and all Handles in Clips, etc., will not be included. If one goes that route, then MPEG would not be my choice, and I would go with one of the suggestions in this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4556586#4556586
    Remember, with that output method, the Clips (Audio & Video) will NOT have any Handles, and Titles will be burned in.
    From your comments, I think that you want the ClipMate (or similar) workflow.
    Good luck,

  • Export from FCE is different then the timeline

    hi there, when I try to export from FCE the output file is different from the video in my timeline.
    It concerns a screengrab recorded with QT10. That QT file is converted to a Apple intermediate codec - as I normally do with QT files.
    I edit it & then export it to a h.264 QT HD file. There's clearly a difference between the final QT and the video in the timeline.
    Shots mysteriously appear where they can't be seen in the timeline, cuts are not exact where I've put them.
    I've tried a different output codec, re-did my AIC encoding but nothing helps..
    Can't find any logical reason why this happens. It's the first time I've had this happen.
    Thx for feedback
    WS

    I've tried several things but the problem remains.
    I made a new AIC file @15fps and exported again to h.264 @ 15fps but I still see shots that are not in the timeline.
    I have the impression that the exported files add about 10 frames ahead of the cut that I make in the timeline...
    Any helpfull insights are welcome
    Thx

  • Quicktime export is different than what's in the timeline

    I'm editing a demo reel for an actor friend. One of the scenes is from a television show, but the scene she's in is not with any of the shows' more recognizable stars, so I wanted to put a little bit of the title sequence/music in front of it to make sure people knew what show it was. So I put about 3 seconds worth of it in. It looks great in the sequence, but when I do an export to quicktime (broadband medium) that title sequence is slightly askew... instead of the 3 second chunk that's clearly in the timeline, it's a 3-second chunk about 10 seconds prior to what is in the sequence. This is driving me insane. Any idea what could be causing this?
    Oh, I just upgraded to Studio 2, if that makes a difference.

    I thought of that too, but it was ripped from a (non-copy protected) DVD, and the title sequence is its own chapter. So of course, the little chunk I need to use is pretty much at the tail end... I don't have 10 seconds after it.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though!

  • How can I export a specific clip on the timeline?

    Hey all
    Ive got a specific (Compound) clip that I'd like to export as FCPX is really not handling it very well.
    Its actually sped up 1000%, has a Bad TV effect and colour changed. Its actually making the rest of my footage go out of sync with the audio (I guess its just too much for my system to handle)
    I cant simply V disable out all the rest of the clips below it (theyre mulitcam) as you cant
    select all V
    them (it just doesnt disable them all)
    without going in and disabling each and every clip how can I just export my highlighted clip?
    Thanks

    Cmd-C to copy; create a new temporary project, paste into it and export.

  • Export part of the timeline

    Hi,
    Is it possible to mark in/out on the timeline and only export this part in PPRO CS3?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Ulf

    You can do it, but not with In & Out points. You do it by setting the work area bar to the portion you want to export, and setting the export options to Work Area rather then Entire Sequence.

  • Exporting a section of the timeline with FCPx

    Does anyone have a clue how to just export a section of timeline out with FCPx. In FCP7 you would just set your In/Out points on the timeline, go to File->Export and walla!, a segmented section of your masterpiece that you could send to a VFX or Audio Dept, etc. for tweaking. I know most, including myself, would like to give a snarky answer (such as Revert back) but I'm trying to explore FCPx to the best of my ability and am looking for a straight up answer

    As far as I am aware, Apple laid off the old FCP team and hired a new team, under the lead of the iMovie designer. The same team that changed iMovie and made it "better".
    Please read this article from Apple Insider from 2010.
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/05/18/apple_scaling_final_cut_studio_app s_to_fit_prosumers/
    I love Final Cut Pro, but leaving out simple things is not good at all. Even in QuickTime I can export a selection of a clip in a few simple steps? There needs to be tighter integration of FCP with Motion. Now that Shake is dead.

  • Exporting clips in the timeline with handles

    Is there a way to export a selected clip in the timeline with handles? I know you can export all the clips in the timeline with handles using Media Manager, but is there a way to do it with just one clip?
    I should ask- is there a quicker way? because I know one way is to drag the clip up to V2 and just manually extend handles to the clip and export it that way. I was hoping for a quicker method. I need to export some self-containted clips that I can reinsert for sending the sequence to Color.

    Thanks. Snap is enabled.
    I added 30 clips at once from the project bin onto the timeline. So I was really amazed that there were small gaps between some clips.When I tried to repair this (hold CTrl and move the clips to the left) the puzzle began. It happened that moving the clip only three frames to the left, I lost 15 seconds of the total. I discovered this was either a total loss of a clip (not he one I moved, but a clip say three clips to the right) or it was considerably shorter in time.
    First I thougt it had to do with my good old dualcore (1.8Ghz), but on the new one (Quad 2.4Ghz) it is still the same.
    This is the first time it happens (after 3 completed small projects).
    From now on I will only drag one clip at the time to minimize the chance on this behaviour.
    But you will understand, I'm not happy...
