OOPS..... Editing a 720p project... now client wants SD instead... Help?
Hi all,
I am fairly new into the HD edit paradigm. We shot a project in hd 720p to output as a 13 minute HD corporate video. Now my client wants a SD DVD instead. I have already edited the elaborate 13 minute piece in a 720p sequence (Complete with actors, green screen keying, animations from After Effects, and Titles generated in FCP.... yikes.
How can I change the sequence to SD? If I make the straight change in the sequence settings, every image and clip gets short and pudgy. Any pointers how to make this change-over as smoothly as possible?
Thanks a bunch.
Matt

No... yes... well...
To MY eyes, I like the smoothness that the bitrate used in the 90minute uses. Again, to me, the 60 seems a bit too harsh.
Of course I formed this opinion on older DVD players and TVs -- but I still stand by it.

    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • I just finish a subtitling on a 60 min project now I want to make a dvd

    I just finish a subtitling on a 60 min project now I want to make a dvd out of it , first I compressed it using compressor with 90 min best dvd preset , Now I don`t know what tod od , any help ?

    Now you get to read the DVD Studio Pro Users Manual and do the tutorials included on the DVD SP disc.
    Sorry, but by the time someone has written a walk through for you here, you could have probably read the manual twice.
    If you have a problem understanding a particular aspect -sure, ask away.

    Hello, Edward and thank you for your note.
    I read through the thread you mentioned and it seems that people are having a lot of problems with the iCloud clients, so we're not alone, but the unique issue in my case is the failing email address vs. the working perfectly email address.
    After reading your message tonight, I tried my setup again with the preferred Apple ID (the one without the "." between the names), and for the first time ever, IT WORKS. Mail app configured the servers both send and receive as p01-smtp.mail.me.com and p01-imap.mail.me.com. For the first time, I'm able to send and receive into the Mail app, create mailboxes, move messages into and out of mailboxes, keep Sent messages, etc.
    I had a 50-minute support chat with MobileMe support via ExpressLane on Monday afternoon. They couldn't resolve my issue but passed me on to escalation. I was told to expect to get an email from advanced support by this afternoon, but none has arrived. However, so far tonight -- and I will check again tomorrow several times before declaring victory -- it looks like something has been fixed on the Apple end to make things work.
    I will report back after I do some additional testing tomorrow to make sure the fix is real and is solid...and before I let my friend, the new Mac user, know the good news.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?

    I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?

    There are no upgrades for Student and Teacher Editions. You can continue to use the version you are using, or you can buy CS6 with no special upgrade price, or subscribe to Creative Cloud. However, I believe if you still qualify, you're offered a discount on Creative Cloud.

    I accidentally create a new event on an old event, now i want to get back my old event's editing.  What should i do?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • I finished my project and have it on DVD and Bluray. Now I want to free up disk space by deleting everything that had to do with the project including event clips.  Does 'moving to trash' accomplish that?

    I finished my project and have it on DVD and Bluray. Now I want to free up disk space by deleting everything that had to do with the project including event clips.  Does 'moving to trash' accomplish that?

    Hi eneighbor
    Yes, selecting "move to trash" from within FCPX will free up disk space.
    I "Move Project To Trash" first.
    Then "Move Event To Trash" secondly.
    To totally free up disk space, you will of course need to empty out your trash as you would per any other unwanted file you've sent to the trash can.

  • Rs to do, and I selected the font for each 4s clip - now I want to change the font - is there a way to change all fonts on clips in one go?

    Hi I am new to iMovie - and made a 35min film - quite pleased with it - I sub-titled it right through coz we work with deaf people - wanted my first movie to be accessible. Now I want to change the font on each clip - can I do this in one step - and change all the sub-titles to a different font - thanks a lot, Jane

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • CS4: client wants 800 "different" versions

    Hi,
    I have designed a ticket for a client, which is almost done.
    Now, that client wants me to make 800 different versions of it: each will have number on it, going from 1 to 800.
    However, doing this by hand will take enormously much time...
    So is there an easy way to do this?
    The numbers will be displayed in a font with layerstyle, so it is editable.

    Variables might do the trick.
    Make a template then use Image<Variables<Define to replace the ticket numbers, etc.
    Here's a link to a Layer's magazine video tutorial on the subject:

  • How do I edit FCE 4 project on 2 different machines?

    I am working on some family videos and started editing on one machine (laptop) and want to continue editing on a desktop at home. I know I need to copy the Project file, but what other files to continue editing on the other machine?
    I googled this and found I need to get the capture scratch, render files, and the audio render files.
    Q: is there a simple way to do a "save as" to copy all required files to allow "portable editing" and sync'ing with the new mac - there must be an easier way to do this... Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    A. The only way to share a project requires some organization and a lot of discipline.
    • Same version of FCE on both Macs
    • an external hard disk to move project on. FireWire and has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
    • alt is to use the LapTop as an external drive on the stationary Mac
    (this is the best alternative - though You can reconnect all media - as it's
    already captured)
    B. To do a joint project - One has to do right from the very beginning.
    • On the external hard disk - Create a new folder - Name it appropriate to project
    • Then Start up FCE - AND DIRECTLY - Set/address all scratch disks to this new folder
    • THEN - SAVE and direct this document to this new folder TOO !
    This collects all vital parts in one place.
    • Now Capture edit etc.
    C. Automation that assembles projects - NO There is no such tool in FinalCut Express
    BUT - This do exist is FinalCut Pro - Very good tool that would be good to have in FCE
    So - I would start laptop in target-mode (Start it and keep T down) then connect
    this as an external hard disk.
    This would be easiest way. But still - to what use.
    Alt 2 - Start all over and make this collecting folder - and keep everything in it
    eg audio (.aiff) and photos.

  • I have a TC for my backups but now I want to add an external hard drive

    I have a TC for my backups but now I want to add an external hard drive to my TC and share what is on it within my own network. I can see the hard drive from airport Configurator but I cant acces it. What should i do?

    Hard drive getting full or near full?
    Here are some of my tips for deleting or archiving data off of your internal hard drive.
    Do a search for and downlaod and install OmniDisk Sweeper and OnyX.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save to disc, Flash drive/s or to ext. hard drive.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon  and empty the Trash.
    Also, if you save old downloaded  .dmg application installer  files, you can either archive and delete these or just delete the ones you think you'll never install, again.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be thinned out, moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? thanks.

    I'm trying to edit a talking head video and want to find an straightforward way to mark a spot at the end of a statement made by the subject and then cut the clip at that point. Can you help? Thanks.

    I don't know how to mark a clip the way you want without adding an audio clip and putting in markers and then splitting the clip. You would think that hitting M would be the logical way to do things, but...
    But, one can just click before the place one wants to edit, hit the spacebar and hit it again when the exact place is reached. Then go to the clip menu and click split clip. That works, but one really needs to keep the cursor out of both the timeline and the event browser, or the place in the timeline gets changed..
    Are you really still using iMovie 08? That drove me nuts...a year later iMovie 09 came out with some needed improvements, and iMovie 11 with its audio adjustments is even better.
    Personally, I edit iMovie with kind of a meat axe. I grab whole chunks of video and put it into the project, then edit the ends to get the frame I want. I got too frustrated otherwise.
