ON EXPORT WIDESCREEN/LETTERBOX GOES AWAY?
Everything when I am editing looks good, it is in widescreen etc. I shot HD with a 1080i 60. When I go to capture using the Easy Setup for 1080 60i everything looks fine, and when I edit everything is fine as well. Its just when its time to export whether I use quicktime or compressor, the final exported video is stretched and is no longer in widescreen or contains the letterboxing. If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,
DP
I use compressor, and export the same way I always have done so I am confident it doesnt have anything to do with the export settings, I feel it is something so simple like im not doing something I need to do because its in HD or something along those lines. When it did work however Everytime I added any video, I had to render it. Now when I add video to the timeline, it doesnt need rendering unless an effect is used on it. Maybe I captured differently than the first time as well. Im confused and please if you think its something very obvious dont hesitate to say it, expect it being the simplest problem when it comes to me and FCP. Thanks!

Aspect ratio squeezes when exporting widescreen titles/effects to dv camera
I have looked through the help board and unfortunately can't find the answer to my exact question. Any and all help would be appreciated (including just pointing me to the correct posts).
I am using iMovie 6.0.2 and a Canon mv960 digital video camera. After I import and edit my movies in DV-PAL-Widescreen format, I burn them to dvd and also export back to dv tapes to save a master copy of the movie.
When I export from iMovie back to dv on the camera, any title or special effect clips get vertically squeezed (as if going back to 4:3). On the camera LCD display I see that the "widescreen" logo goes away only during these titles or effects, but then the regular footage goes back to widescreen. I have already tried exporting my movie to a Quicktime full quality movie, import that one large clip into a new project, and then export that to the camera, but the same squeezing of titles happens.
When I burn to DVD, the movie looks exactly as it does in iMovie, and I don't get this video display compression during titles and effect clips. Since I hope to keep a full quality version of all of my movies on dv tape as a backup, I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

iMovie HD 6.0.2 seems to flag the titles it renders in widescreen projects as 4:3:
I did a quick test by creating a widescreen PAL project and added a title. Then I opened the normal footage media clips with MPEG Streamclip and it reported them as 16:9, but the rendered title clips were reported as 4:3. iMovie played both OK. My TRV320's LCD played untitled and titled clips similarily to a TV, but I did have to manually set the TV to 16:9 -- it automatically switched only to 14:9.
The TRV320E seemed to re-import back to a widescreen iMovie project OK.
I haven't used 16:9 in any "real" projects so this was just a quick observation. BTW, my old TRV320E does anamorphic 16:9 so there are no black borders around the image. -
Even on widescreen letterbox 16:9, still losing some edges
O.K. here's the deal. I'm burning a DVD of footage that's a 720p, converted to SD. I think all the settings are correct for 16 by 9 Widescreen Letterbox, but when I watch the DVD back on the player I notice that some of the image is still being cropped a little on the sides. The reason this is unacceptable is that I have a shot where a character walks to the edge of the frame, but stays there on the screen. In the DVD they disappear off the screen. Is there a way to control the aspect ratio even more so that I can shrink the size of the footage on the screen to a point where I can see everything?
What you guys are running into has nothing to do with a software problem. It is what is known as overscan in video. Every television will project the image beyond the edge of the viewable area of the screen. This has always been a bit of an issue, but knowing that it happens is the key to success.
Final Cut and any other NLE will show you this area if you activate the Title Safe indicator in the canvas. It will show you two green boxes at the edge of the screen. The inner box is the title safe; where you should keep titles within. The outer box is the Action Safe, or Overscan area. This tells you where most televisions will cut the image off at. This is meant as a guide to help you know where you can place things. The problem is that videos or DVD on a computer monitor ignores this little fact and shows you the entire edge. I have know idea why this was done because it's such a huge discrepancy with what has been an established standard.
Unfortunately for your film where you have your actor at the edge of the screen there's not a lot you can do. the only way to really correct for this is to shoot with overscan in mind in the first place or you might try to shrink the entire film in the frame a bit - which will give you black space on either side.
Look up overscan on Wikipedia for a ton about what is going on.
Hope this helps. -
Transparency problems when I distort Pdf image size (ie: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix
I sometimes have transparency problems when I distort PDF image size (i.e.: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix. Or at least be able to preflight and know I have an issue.
Mostly I have seen borders and drop shadows that will just go away or other wise not print right but only when I distort the image and only on very complicated large PDF images. When I print it at same % both horz and vert. this problem goes away.

MobileMe going away- Trying out Podomatic: Just created two samples -
My current podcast is hosted onMobileMe which is going away as of next June. I know that next June will behere sooner than I expect.
Another forum poster indicated that he felt Podomatic was his best bet for podcasting. He had tried podbean too and prefered podomatic. So I finally got around to stepping through trying out Podomatic.
I just stepped through the process twice and also saved off a bunch of screen shots for myself, since I might not get around to moving forward with my conversion for several weeks.
It's relatively straightforward alright.
I'm going to be cautious when I go to change my feed into iTunes too, since my experience with iTunes is once you make an error, it's hard to convince their fully automated system to give you another try!
Perhaps my self-tutorial record will help somebody else. If you would like my word version which includes screen shots you can REPLY to this post and put in your email. I compressed it but can't find a way to add an attachment here.
Laurel Shimer: The Simple RomanticTravels Through Time: http://simpleromantic.blogspot.com
My Podcast in the iTunes store:“Unpolished Performances”
Step by Step Trying out Podomatic
Steps 1 and 2 are the way that Inormally create my podcasts. There are other ways to make them.
1) Created my podcast in GARAGEBAND, including the photos in thepodcast track
a. I included multiple photos in my ‘podcast’ track and thisworked
2) GARAGEBAND: SHARE > Export Podcast to Disk (aac format)
3) Safari http://www.podomatic.com
4) (May need to create an account, or logon) My account is“LaurelShimer”
a. when I initially chose Publish FROM THE dropdown menu, I chosea url. I can’t repeat that here, because I already have one now. I saved offboth the url and the feed that podomatic displayed at that time. I need thefeed for some profiles, and I think for a link in my blog, if I remembercorrectly.
5) PUBLISH>CREATE
6) Create title, description, save and continue
7) Next I will upload that podcast I created
8) Navigate out and pick up the podcast I exported fromGarageBand.
Notice the icon. DON’T choose the garageband project by mistake.
9) The photo that Podomatic asks for if the thumbnail photo. Myphotos within my podcast/vodcast were preserved.
10)I chose ‘upload a photo, navigated to the jpeg I wanted for mythumbnail and uploaded it
11)Tagged the episode
12) It all looksgood. I will click save&continue
13) Wait while myepisode publishes. I can click on the url provided by podomatic. OR I can putthe url that I chose for my show (when I initially chose Publish FROM THEdropdown menu, I chose a url)
a. I put my own url into Safari. DON’T FORGET to do a VIEW RELOAD
i. http://simpleromantic.podomatic.com/
14)Promoting suggestions. Looks like some good ideas here~!
a. http://www.podOmatic.com/publish/task/2423801/t_promoteYou would need to also select "allow page breaks within content" for each subform that you want to allow to break across pages, i.e. your table subform and any other expanding subforms unless of course you have a section that has to stay together. You nearly had it from the start, just missing a couple checkboxes on the subforms.

Anyone know how to export with letterbox in FCP? I have a widescreen image that I want to put on the web. Want to make the video 340x240 but formatted with a letterbox so I can see the whole image without it be squeezed. The check box in FCP during export for letterbox does not seem to work. I’ve tried many times.
Any ideas what to do?

You can do it using Compressor. You can start duplicating one of the existing presets and then go to the Filter options and you'll find Letterbox one.

Help my iPod won't let me download apps... I'll put my password in then it takes me to the app but then is just goes away then I do it again an it won't load or it will just go away again plz help I want to get apps
You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

Boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?
The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing. Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
More things you can do:
With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not. You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing. As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos. I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special. Any way - search around to find answers. -
How can i reset my app store setting?
I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID. -

Hi sharkbiscuit79,
Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013. PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

Itunes says "update complete" but "do not disconnect" never goes away!
So, I wait and wait and "do not disconnect" on my ipod never goes away.
A little history:
I got my nano a few weeks ago, put a few songs on - everything worked fine. Then, I got a new computer. Since I only put a few songs on, I didnt mind starting from scratch. Now, I can't seem to get it to work!? I have songs in itunes. when i click on my ipod, it shows that i have songs on the ipod, it SAYS the update is complete, my ipod shows "do not disconnect" i wait for ages, and then finally just eject the ipod, and - NO SONGS are on it.
help please. thanks
Windows XP ProDo not disconnect always on, this happens when you have "enable disk use" ticked in the iPod preferences, in which case you have to manually eject your iPod.
However if you are automatically updating your iPod and do not intend using it as a portable hard drive, you can set your iPod to automatically disconnect.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
