Please help with Aspect Ratio Setting

I shot video with my MiniDV camera switched to 16:9 (my normal is 4:3)
Editing the footage in Final Cut, the Sequence Setting, Aspect Ratio says NTSC DV 3:2
I sent a clip to Motion to make a lower 3rd. I had to change my Motion Project Properties> Pixel Aspect Ratio> to NTSC D1/DV Anamorphic so the footage would look wide.
When I export the lower 3rd clip and bring it into Final Cut timeline it doesn't look right. It looks right in the Viewer but not the timeline? Any suggestions

Well, I guess I thought the video in Motion needed to look more rectangle (16x9) than square (4:3). Since it did in FCP. And my FCP sequence setting>Aspect Ratio says NTSC DV 3:2
I am used to working with plain MiniDV 4:3. I shoot with Sony PD150. I don't understand or never had to deal with Aspect Ratios. This project they wanted a widescreen look so I switch the camera to 16x9.
I don't think it is the real 16x9 but like I said I don't know about this stuff or why my camera has 16x9 on in if it is not the real thing.
Feel free to comment, I am trying to learn

  • Help with aspect ratio and resolution nightmare

    I am currently working on a documentary and all the footage I was given are in different formats an resolutions. Some are in 720 x 480 others in much larger aspect ratios. Some are standard SD some are HD
    is there any way to conform all of these together, or any tips? what about exporting? any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    What's your final delivery format?
    What I do, and I usually have some HDV to mix with DV is to put everything on a ProRes 422 sequence with the setting to the highest resolution I have to start with (usually HDV 1440x1080) but I don't let FCP automatically change the time line or covert anything until I do a render. Then I finally do a render all and FCP up rezzes stuff when it renders. I use very little of the DV stuff (it's a backup when I need something that the HDV cams didn't video the way I need, such as both HDV cams moving to a point of view at the same time).
    If you don't need to intercut the various pieces (that is, if you can edit each one as an individual piece in its owns sequence, then just stitch them together end to end at the end), then I create each one in its own sequence, and let FCP change the sequence settings when I drop the video into it. Then I stitch it together when I get ready to make the DVD.
    My DVD's are all SD, so I use compressor to downrez and compress: then they are all in the same resolution, etc. and I stitch it together in DVD SP as stories, or just drop them into the same video line, end to end.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi Dimitris,
    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :
    1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
    2-Open lqn.model.
    There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
    The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
    Thank you

  • Clips lose pixel aspect ratio setting after relinking

    hi there,
    after reopening a project from a backup drive I had to relink all my media.
    no problem with that...
    but after relinking all aspect ratios were lost. files are 2048x1536 anamorph (manually) set to an aspect of 1.33 and then scaled down to 1920x1080.
    generally all settings were intact - the aspect ratio setting however was not. all clips had a square pixel setup after relinking.
    is this a bug?
    thanks!

  • CS 6 Shift-Circle with Aspect Ratio Correction

    In PhotoShop CS 4 & 5.5, with a NTSC D1, 720x 486 document, a Pixel Aspect Ratio of D1.DV NTSC (0.91), and ellipse options set to unconstrained, with Aspect Ratio Correction Turned on, to draw a perfect Circle, you could hold Shift-option-cmd and you'd get a perfect Circle.
    In PhotoShop CS 6, the circle is streched to the top and bottom when I do a shift-Drag to draw a circle in a non-square Pixel document with Aspect Ratio Correction turned off.
    So, at this point, In a Non-Square Pixel document, There's no way to draw a perfect circle.
    What's changed between 5.5 and 6?? Is there a Preference somewhere that I've missed???
    TIA
    jamie

    Looking into this a little more, what I think is going on is that in previous versions, Shift dragging compensated for the non-square pixels, so that drawn items show up correctly.  If you look at the Info Box in 5.5 when shift drawing a circle, the height is greater then the width, when working in a non-square document.
    In 6.0, when you do the same thing, the height and width are the same. So, no compensation is being done for the non-square pixels.
    In 5.5, if you place a circle by entering the dimensions in the ellipse option, say 400, by 400, with PAR turned on, the image is squeezed side to side.
    So, In 5.5 Shift Compansated for nonSquare pixels. In CS6, it does not.

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks
    AppleSueIn HunterCreek

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

    If you mean updae server
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
