Need Help with Clip/Sequence Settings

Okay so I have a video with three or four sequences and all the clips are from the same tape and camera. The only problem is that about 2 or 3 clips in one sequences have black bars on the top and bottom of them (letterboxed?), only when they are on that sequence. So, I could take these clips that are i letterboxed in sequence 2, put them in sequence 1, and they are normal, no longer letterboxed. Please help, I have no idea what to do, and have been trying to fix it for hours.

Okay I just fixed it by going to that clip in the browser and un-checking anamorphic, even though every other clip has it checked?
Maybe someone could clear this up?
Thanks

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

I need help changing the sequence settings to my video

I shot on a JVC Everio in 720x480 29.97fps. I normally shoot in 1080x420 so I know the picture quality isn't going to be AS good. Normally, when I drag my clips into the timeline Premiere changes the sequence settings for me and everything looks fine. However when I drag this footage (the 720p) in, it becomes elongated and fuzzy.
I've messed around with the sequence settings by using DV-NTSC widescreen 48kHz and DVCPRO50 480i NTCS widescreen. When I drag my clips in they're cropped really close and they still look a bit off when I change the image to fit the screen (DVCPRO 50 looks a little bit better).
When I shot the video it looked crisp and clear on the monitor. I'm wondering if it looks strange because of the sequence settings and if so, what would be the best settings for this video.
The final video is going on youtube and I would like to make it look as good as possible!
Please let me know if you can help me out!

However when I drag this footage (the 720p) in, it becomes elongated and fuzzy.
What 720p? You gave us two frame sizes. Neither of them are 720p.
1080X420 is a very strange frame size. And you say it is normal? A 720p video is 1280X720 non-interlaced.
Chances are very good that it is 480i video you shot with a frame size of 720X480 and it is interlaced.
That video should be interpreted with a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 0.9091 (rectangular pixels that are taller than they are wide) - and what that means is that it isn't 16:9 it is 4:3 and should be edited in a 4:3 sequence. If, however, Premiere Pro is seeing the footage as having a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) then you may have to right click on the clip in the Project Panel and select Modify|Interpret Footage and set it to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)

Help with correct sequence settings for exporting QT

hi -- I am about to export a QT movie of a sequence in FCP. There are three different properties of clips in the sequence -- footage I shot on a Panasonic HD HMC150 was compressed with Apple ProRes422 and footage I shot on the JVCHD - can't remember model - uses the 720p24 codec. All other properties for these clips are the same.
I also use some archival footage in the sequence was shot at 29.97 fps, 720x480, compressed using the DV/DVCPro NTSC and a different pixel aspect.
I also use jpegs.
Here's the question. The Sequence Settings are HDV 720p24. Do I need to change the properties for the clips that don't match the Sequence Settings BEFORE I export a QT File? Or, do I export a QT file then import it back into FCP at the 720p24 setting and export that sequence as a QT file.
Thanks

ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
Sequence Settings:
ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
I made stills from the same frames in the different sequences to show the difference between them. Unfortunately, I can't attach these images in the forum.
So here's the sequence settings as of now for both the original and current sequences:
Easy Setup:
Format - HD
Codec - HDV 720p24
23.98 fps
1280x720
Sequence Settings:
1280x720
Aspect Ratio - hdtv 720p 16:9
pixel: square
compressor appleprores 422
Field Dominance - none
editing timebase: 23.98
Render Codec - same as sequence codec
Clip Codecs:
Primarily HDV 720p24
Some Apple ProRes 422
Archival Footage - Dv/DVCPRO NTSC
Okay, now here's where things start getting hairy. I read in the FCP manual today that I should convert the sequence setting to the same codec as the majority of the clips -- in this case that was 720p24. So I changed the sequence codec from AppleProRes 422 to 720p24. Then I rendered the sequence before exporting it as a QT file. -- not noticing until after I burned a DVD about the image size problem.
Now, this evening, while I was checking the settings of the older original sequences -- trying to figure out what went wrong -- I realized that the original sequence used the AppleProRes 422 codec!! So, I converted my current sequence from the 720p24 codec BACK to Apple ProRes 422 - hoping this might solve my larger image problem -- BUT the image size stayed the same. Am I just compressing over and over again and screwing up my sequences.
The weird thing is that MOST of the sequence copies that are not the original -- converted to the changed codec even though I had only the sequence I was changing open ---- there must be a reason for all this. I hope you all can figure it out for me. I've been spending hours at it.
Thanks again.

Help with Custom Sequence Settings

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to assist me with a question I have regarding custom setups and timeline rendering?
I am working on a sequence of still images (.*tiff files) in a custom timeline that I've setup to match the resolution of the 30" Apple Cinema Display (2560x1600).
Up until this point, whenever I work with high resolution (*.tiff) images in a 1920x1080 sequence, the images are often twice the resolution 3840x2160 and do not require any rendering. They automatically scale to the dimensions of the timeline and everything is just straight forward.
The problem I'm having now, is that whenever I drop a 3840x2160 image into my custom 2560x1600 sequence, the image still scale to fit the sequence, but I immediately get a solid red bar across the top of my timeline and cannot figure out why I need to render everything. All of my sequence settings are the same with the exception of the dimensions and interlacing disabled.
Here are the sequence settings:
Frame Size: 2560 x 1600 Custom
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
QT Video Settings: Apple ProRes 422 (no interlacing)
If anyone knows of a way that I can setup a custom sequence such as this without having to render everything right from the start, I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to do this...
Thanks!
~Greg

My guts say, you can't. RT Extreme is the technology FCP uses to playback without rendering. It likely is only turned on for standard video resolutions. (i.e., those that are shot by video cameras or electronic cinema cameras - like RED 2k). That might be the largest you can work with without rendering. It's 2048 X 1152 for a 16:9 image... Just guessing, but bet I'm close to right here. Filling your CD though will not be a standard video size at all, because it isn't 16:9... it's 16:10 so might not be able to do what you like to see I'm afraid without rendering.

Need help with best render settings for project

Hi everyone,
I am completely new to after effects and premiere.
1. I am working on a premiere project with 1440 x 1080 mpeg2 footage from a Sony hdr-fx1000, in my premiere project my sequence settings are HDV 1080i30 (60i).
2. I export a clip with under these same settings.
3. I open a new composition in after effects with the following settings: preset: HDV 1080 29.97 (same as footage)
4. I time stretch using pixel motion
5. What are the best render settings and output module settings to use if I want to import the modified clip back into my premiere project?
PS I've been trying to output to mpeg2 but when i check the properties on the clip it says .mv2 and it looks choppy.
Thanks in advance!

BTW, if you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you work your way through the getting-started materials here:

I need help with Compressor 4 settings to convert .mp4 files to .m4v for iBooks Author

I'm a curriculum design guy with no video background. I have Compressor 4, but don't really know much about how to best use it. I'd appreciate some help with getting the right setting for my project. Screen shots of settings would be much appreciated, since I don't know much video terminology.
I'm making an free iBook for students on WWII propaganda using old videos from the Internet archive.
I'd plan to use Compressor to:
1. Convert the .mp4 files to a .m4v that iBooks Author will accept. (I know I can use QT for that, but it increases file size)
2. Use Compressor to reduce file size so my iBook doesn't get too big
3. Get videos that look & sound the best, given the poor quality of the original source videos.
Here's some sample videos that I'll use:

http://archive.org/download/AvengeDe1942/AvengeDe1942_edit.mp4
PS - I will also be editing some of the original videos in iMovie - if I use different settings to prep those videos for iBook Author, let me know.
Much thanks in advance for any help

Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

Hi All,
Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J

Hi
I don't understand...please let me know...
did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ? Or is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from your original installation ? In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video. MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video. Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary.. most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem. That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding. Whew !

Need help with 6300 configuration settings

I can't get sms, email or web to work on my lovely new 6300 phone (an xmas present from my daughter) :-(
I travel between England and France and have an Orange sim card for England and an SFR card and contract in France (Orange doesnt work in the mountains).
I managed to text when in England with the orange card. On arriving in France I found the phone was locked to Orange (first headache, given that I live in the country, over 50 miles from any Nokia dealer). I got the phone unlocked, but SMS etc were still not working and local mobile outlets hadnt a clue. So I'm on my own.
Rummaging around this site I realised I probably needed to additional settings, and downloaded these.
Now for the real nightmare: how the hell to set these configuration settings. I seem to be going round in circles. Is there anybody out there who could help me make some sense of the following settings???!!!
Although helpful, this site is not good at explaining the significance of the following (and whats more I feel they should probably be listed in the reverse order?)
- default config setting
- preferred access point
- personal config setting
DEFAULT CONFIG SETTING
I have a choice of
- orange (inherited with branded phone and presumably needed when back in the UK?)
- personal config
- SFR MMS (downloaded by me from Nokia)
- Wanadoo (downloaded by me from Nokia)
Ive chosen personal config (see below)
ACTIVATE DEFAULT IN ALL APPS
I have said no ??
PREFERRED ACCESS POINT
Ive created one called 'Fra access point' (see next) so as to have alternative to all the orange ones,
PERSONAL CONFIG SETTING
I've made three: FRA access point, FRA mailbox and Fra web
The access point has data bearer as Packet data (dont ask me what this means!) and I made up my own user name and password
Well, there you are. I would at least like to have the sms working (I suspect the email may be another hurdle as my pop and sms servers are different).
I do hope someone can help me

I was disappointed by the deafening silence which followed my cry for help - perhaps a bit too meaty for a Friday afternoon?
Anyhow, amazingly, after a loooong and expensive phone call to SFR (Vodaphone) the problem has been resolved (sort of).
I had been fiddling around with the configurations under Settings. It turned out there are MORE settings under Message settings and these included the need to specify a number for the Message Centre. (Nowhere on the SFR site is this number given, plus their link for downloading configurations is not working...)
Be warned, I might be back in a week or two when I have more energy to tackle email.

Help with Selecting sequence settings

Hi
I apologize for my apparent lameness. I'm new to FCP and am just about to mix my first project in HD. I have a Canon XH A1. I imported the footage a few months back and am finally ready to make my first foray into HD editing.
The footage has been captured in 1080i50 - 1920x1080.
So i select ASPECT RATIO HDTV 1080i - it gives me a frame size of 1920x1080
But under that for the PIXEL ASPECT RATIO I only have the option of.....
HD 960x720
HD 1280x1080 or
1440x1080
Shouldn't this match the frame size? If not, which one should i choose? It also has an anamorphic checkbox next to it. I thought HD video was natively anamorphic?
Please help as i've made the mistake of going ahead with incorrect settings only to find myself rocking in the fetal position moaning while chewing Big Ted's ear when it all came undone weeks down the track!
Sorry - one last thing - I'm trying to re-mix a stack of stuff in Livetype to match my new HD settings. In FCP my pixel aspect currently is 1440x1080. When i select HD1080i50 in Livetype the pixel aspect is 1.33??? When i export it comes up as a square?
These setting are doing my head in...can anyone recommend a course or book that might explain this to me..."A morons guide to aspect ratios"?
I'm not even going to think about the problems i'll no doubt have when it comes to exporting this baby......does anyone really understand this or are you all being too cool to say that you, like me, are totally lost !
Please help.

HDV footage is actually 1440 x 1080 and should be captured at that HDV setting. The Easy Setup should be HDV - 1080i50. If you look in the "information" box below it you will see that it captures in these dimensions.
The pixels are rectangular (wide) and when played on a TV etc. they take up the same space as 1920 pixels.
So don't worry, everything should be fine.

Need help with the export settings on FCPX

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X from Express and am loving all the new features and capabilities that come with it. I just helped a friend with filming and editing a play at his school. After I finished editing it, the final MOV file is about 11 GB. Pretty big. When I try to put that file into iDVD to try to burn a DVD, my Mac begins to heat up really fast and I'm worried that this might overheat the processor.
I've tried other means of compressing the file without losing quality, like Handbrake, but to no avail.

I assume, your Project is ~20min, correct?
You exported a Master File = proRes, FCPX' internal intermediate codec, not meant for 'distribution'.
Choose one of the 'Apple device' presets in the share dialogue, in the drop-down options, change device to 'computer' to create a 'universal' mp4.
concerning 'heat':
Don't use your laptop in bed while doing tasks with high computation.
The bottom of device is needed for cooling.
Any 'soft' surface prohibits that…
If Mac really gets too hot, it will automatically switch-off - no worries..........

Need help with clip form iphone

I´ve just imported a clip from my Iphone into my FCE project. The settings for my project is AIC 1920 X 1080i50 because my other clips fit those settings (shot with my real videocamera). Anyway, I want to include the Iphoneclip in that project, and I want it to fill the screen, so I don´t have black lines on each side of the Iphone clip. I´m not sure how I do it.
I´ve tried scaling it up, but then I lost so much of the action in the clip. Is there a way to just upscale the image to fit the screen (I don´t care much about the quality loss, I just like the clip and want to include it).
Thanks

You should sync first to make sure everything ( contacts,etc) are synced with your computer. Hold the home and power button down until the Apple appears. You shouldn't lose anything.

Need help with SQL developer settings

Hi Folks,
I am trying to access a schema via a user (with read-only privilages). What this means is that off the command line interface, I have to pre-qualify all my tables using the schema name. E.g. desc schema_name.table_1 etc.
When I connect to the schema via SQL developer, I do not see any tables. Are there any settings in the SQL developer that will automatically add the pre-qualifier before each table ?
BTW, I am using Oracle SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64 and my database is 10g.
Thanks in advance

The Tables node only lists your own tables. For others' objects, use the Other Users node.
Alternatively, you can assign synonyms to other users' objects to list them in your own tree.
Have fun,
