Output resolution help

I am new to FCE and have been experimenting and working on some short projects to learn the NLE process. It has been challenging but fun.
I have come up on a snag that I cannot find the answer for in the help files for FCE. I shot a project last week on a Panasonic DVX100 60i in simulated 16:9. Import into FCE went without a hitch. Editing went fine. The problem came up when I exported my sequences for DVD authoring in iDVD. My crystal clear resolution in FCE turned to pixelated picture with dulled colors. I could not find output resolution controls either in FCE or iDVD. Can anyone here give me any pointers for getting clean DVD authoring with iDVD?

Thanks Tom. I will try posting this on iDVD as well.
The project is two +/-1:30 sequences; so a total of about 3 minutes. I exported from FCE as QT Movie.
I intended to film in 16:9 so that was no problem. I just used the 4:3 canvas in FCE so it didn't stretch/squeeze the image.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

Output Resolution Settings

I recently installed a Canon MP495 series printer on my iMac and when I try to print anything from Pages I get the following error message:-
The Output Resolution option 600 x 600 dpi is not available hen Output Resolution is set to 300 x 300 dpi
If I ignore the message the printed item is produced in a very small font size.
This problem does not occur with Word for Mac which makes me suspect Pages.
Can anyone help please?

Look through your Printer options in the Print dialog and also I'd check with Canon.
It sounds to me like a printer driver issue, output is mostly generic from OSX which uses the UNIX CUPS engine to output postscript to printers.
Probably Canon has done something quirky. Word probably uses Microsoft code for output which happens to match whatever Canon has done for Windows.

Output resolution

I remember reading here when version 3 Apple TV software came out that there were problems with the program crashing when setting the output resolution to 1080i. I think the fix was 720p, which I have had my Apple TV set on since that problem. I have had no problems since then. My current software version is 3.0.2. Is it safe to now set the output resolution to 1080i or 1080p?

I've never had a problem with my ATV1 crashing with the output set to 1080p, but it did drop down to 720p at random until I moved it to another room and connected it to a different TV.

How to change output resolution?

Hi!
I have a 13" MacBook Pro, and am using the Dr. Bott Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Pro with Optical Audio to connect to my Samsung LE22B47 TV.
The resolution of the TV is 1366x768, but the best output resolution for it my Mac offers is 1344x756. It's ok, but it's not great.
How can I change the output resolution so it fits the screen perfectly? I've heard about ScreenResX - is that any good and easy to use?
Thanks!

Hi achyuth,
Thank you for posting on the National Instruments forum.
I am not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to input and output at the
same time? Are you just trying to
synchronize all of your inputs? Do you
want them to run off the same clock? If
you could, give me some more information so I can understand your problem
better.
In the meantime, this might help you:

I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

I read that the apple tv 2nd generation output resolution is 1080p but the one i have only list up to 720HD?
my Tv is a Sony KDL-42EX440 capable of 1080

No, second generation AppleTV outputs 720p HD only, the 3rd generation outputs 1080p.
2nd gen can decode 1080p in theory but the output resolution maxes out at 720p.
If it's any consolation AppleTV 2's can fetch good 2nd hand values compared to ATV 3's.

Poor Output Resolution FCE-iDVD5

I shot a project last week on a Panasonic DVX100 60i in simulated 16:9. Import into FCE went without a hitch. Editing went fine. The problem came up when I exported my sequences for DVD authoring in iDVD. My crystal clear resolution in FCE turned to pixelated picture with dulled colors. I could not find output resolution controls either in FCE or iDVD. Can anyone here give me any pointers for getting clean DVD authoring with iDVD?

iDVD 5 and 6 have two encoding choices: 'Best Performance' for putting up to 60 minutes of content on a single-layer DVD and 'Best Quality' for putting up to 120 minutes of content on a single-layer DVD. Despite the names Apple has given the two modes, for content under 60 minutes, 'Best Performance' will give you the best image quality.
iDVD 7 adds a third mode: 'Professional Quality' that is two-pass variable bit-rate encoding. It will take twice as long to encode as 'Best Quality', but for content between 60 and 120 minutes, is worth considering.
How long is your video clip and what encoding mode did you use?

Macbook air mini dp output resolution / full screen app issues

I've successfully connected my new macbook air 13" to my LED tv with a mini DP to hdmi adapter + hdmi wire. I am able to get video and audio (obviously.)
My issue is that no matter when resolution I try (1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc) and wether I am "mirroring" the display or "extending" the display,
My samsung 46" LED tv can not get full screen there is always black bars on the left and right.
When I connect my PC via VGA wire there are no bars and it is in full land scape view.
Also I've noticed in lion that full screen apps show up as the "linen wallpaper" on the second display.
the only way i can slightly alleviate the problem is full screening a video within youtube but not within the OS it self... even then there is still black bars which is weird because when i use the TV as a extended monitor the wallpaper is using the whole display just full screen video has black bars.
I am unable to get 1920 x 1200 output display to my HDTV is this possible? is it my mini DP to hdmi adapter that is at fault?
thanks in advanced to whoever helps sorry about the long post my brain is scattered on the issue because my VGA connetion works fine i don't understand why HDMI + mini DP has worse resolution...

No, it doesn't list the resolution explicitly like that - the top few items in the list are "480i", "480p", "720p", "1080i" and "1080p", each with a small TV icon to the right. Non-television resolutions follow, and are listed with explicit pixel dimensions (and no TV icon), but the list stops at 1440x900, the native resolution of the MacBook's built-in display; it doesn't list resolutions higher than that.
Needless to say, I've tried every setting in the entire list, and they all suffer from the same problem of displaying shrunk down on the plasma TV with a margin around the desktop.
I wonder if the difference between your Display control panel and mine is that I'm running Snow Leopard? (Sorry - no screen grabs to show, I'm at work right now)

Widescreen HD resolution help please

Hi I have a project I want to render out from Maya but I'm confused what format/settings to render out!
I have both Premier and after effects and the final output is intended for HI Definition widescreen TV on CD/DVD as I want the best possible quality and then another smaller version in both memory and size preferably quicktime format.
Ok so Ive searched the net and I have 2 different sizes resolutions for widescreen 1366 x 768, 1080p and 720 x 480 ..... what should I use?
I'm I correct in saying if I do output in this format can it be played on a regular TV? ... I under stand the quality will bot be as good but my big question is will the images be squashed of stretched?
Squashed of stretched will be the case then what would be the best thing to do ... out put 1 for each ie. one for HDtv widescreen and one for reg tv widescreen?
I have around 10-20% knowledge of both premier and after effect.
I really just need some advice on what codec to use and what resolution
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks
Wayne

OK... so I open a new project in premier I dont see the setting for 1920x1080.
Under the HDV settings theres the 1080 settings but the frame sizes it give 1440x1080.... it also gives me the same settings in custom setting and it doesnt seem the the frames size can be changed.
any ideas?

How to change the Grid ALV output resolution according to screen

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to adjust the Grid ALV Output Screen resolution according to user screen. I mean if the user has any type of screen (17'' , 15'', 12.1'' ), the output should be completely fit to his screen.
Helpful solution will definitely be rewared.
Amit Varlani

Hi!
I doesn't depends on the screen size only the desktop resolution.
If the desktop resolution is set to 1024*768 on every computer, then it will be the same all the time.
You can set the desktop resolution in your windows (right click on desktop - properties - settings).

Resolution help please!!!!!

ok, i have a problem that needs resolving and any help would be appreciated
i am trying to put together a video that consists of about 40 images (tifs) that are each 3600 pixels X 3600 pixels.the vido also contains a voice over. the images were given to me that size and i imported them into final cut pro that size as well.
i arranged the pics on a sequence with the voice over and exported the sequence as a .mov file. i then brought the file into DVD studio and made a dvd out of it and gave it to the client.
here is where the problem lies...they want to play the dvd on a hd tv and through a hdmi dvd player...it seems the quality and or resolution of the photos is poor and they aren't sharp or crisp, if you know what i mean. i tried
exporting an uncompressed mov file but that resulted in a 23GB file that is not able to be burned onto a standard dvd...i tried exporting it using a HDTV(1080i) frame size and again that made the file too large.
my question is this....how do i get the pics at a high resolution? is it possible to do so with final cut pro? anybody?

Unless you have a blueray or hddvd drive, you're stuck with standard def dvd's unless you can connect the output from your computer directly to the screen.
If you can connect the computer directly to the screen, find out what the native resolution of the screen is and create your sequence in fcp with this resolution. Output a qt using compressor with the same resolution and frame rate using the h.264 codec and experiment till you find a satisfactory quality that will play smoothly from the computer.

Changing DVD output resolution in encore CS4

Hi.
I've recently started using encore to produce DVD's but I have noticed that whenever I create a new project the DVD resolution is locked at 720 x 576.
This hasn't been a problem because the past few DVD's iv made were just low quality anyway, but now I'm wanting to make a full HD DVD because I have a video saved at 1920x1080
how can I change this resolution to match the video files??
Thanks
PomTom

Proper dvd's with movies on them have a high quality output setting that looks crisp on large tv's
Its not a blue ray disk, Its a normal dvd
When i make dvds though encore since the dimentions is stuck at 720x576 the image is pixalted
Proper DVDs are only 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480
This is DVD spec. See Encore help for DVD formats it supports.

As John points out, commercial studios use high end software (I think he meant starting at $5,000), multi-passes, and special experts in compression.
But what you describe (pixelated), sounds like poor quality, not just not good on large screens. So you are having problems either in the downrez or the datarate.
What is the datarate you are using? How long is the video?

Overide/Lock HD Output Resolution

For some reason when I put my HDMI through a switch my HD content down converts to 480p from the 1080i all other inputs into the switch work properly at 1080i or 1080p as the output setting at locked to said resolution. My FiOS DRV seems to be getting confused and even though in the setting it is set to push out 1080i it goes against that and down converts to 480p.
Is there a way to override this and lock my output to 1080i no matter what it is connected to?

There is no way to lock it. All outputs work the same. The signal is pushed out of the box with certain parameters. Once the signal leaves the box the set top box has no control over what happens to it. Its like pouring water out of a bucket. The bucket just drops the water out and it has no control of what happens to the water when it leaves. I'm sorry your switch is not working correctly with the signal sent out from the box, but the box has no control over that. I wish you the best of luck working with the switch. Try contacting the manufacturer of the switch, they might be of more help.
