PSD (photoshop) file comes out stretched in video

Hi everyone,
I have a video made from my canon hv20, resolution is 1440 x 1080. At the end I want to put credits and a logo (2 separate psd files) but it always comes out a little stretched. I've tried a psd file with these resolutions:
1440 x 1080
1024 x 768
800 x 600
Any idea why it comes out a little stretched?

Saw this question and thought about a tutorial I watched recently on prepearing still images in Photoshop CS5 for use in Final Cut -
https://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/photoshopcs5204
Really comprehensive. Highly recommend it. Picked up some useful tips.
I posted a link to a discount promotion on the STP forum here for 33% off. Hope it's fine to post this here if anyone is interested. I don't use this codes as I have a monthly subscription plan at mac provideo.

Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4

Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs.

Is it possible to export a DVDSP menu as .PSD Photoshop file?

I promise this will be the last question for tonight. Is it possible to export a DVDSP menu as .PSD Photoshop file with its layers intact? I'd like to examine the structure to see if there's an easy way to re-create all my EncoreDVD menus as DVDSP menus.
Peace, BJ

Without opening DVDSP, I can't say for sure, but is there an option to export the menu as Movie to Image Sequence? Is there an option to export the menu at all? Sorry for asking a question to answer a question, but I don't have my scratch disk with me and don't want to open DVDSP without having my current project with me. However, the image sequence wouldn't give you layers. Simply put, I don't think so. Apple's apps have played well when it comes to importing .psd files, but as far as creating them, not so well. As far as recreating Encore Menus, is there an XML type file that's compatible with both Encore and DVDSP where you could just reconnect your media assets in DVDSP and then import this XML file?
Good luck either way and report back with what you find,
-Brian

I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview

I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview since I installed Snow Leopard on my White MacBook. Whenever I double click a PSD file, it opens in Photoshop.
I used to force PSD files to be opened with Preview by "Get Info" (command + I ) and then Changing the option "open with" to Preview.
I also tried draggin the PSD file onto Preview, nothing happened.
Did Snow Leopard stop PSD support, or I'm missing something??

No, I can still open psd files in Preview, no problem, from both Preview's "Open" dialog and by drag 'n drop onto its icon. It opens simple psd files without error, files with an alpha channel may or may not open correctly, layers will display the topmost layer, if that layer has a mask it displays incorrectly. In short, nothing seems to have changed.

IPod Touch gen1 with apple composite av cable sound comes out but no video?

I have a iPod touch gen1 and ipod touch gen2 and with gen1 IPT audio comes out but no video on the tv. Whereas the gen2 works fine. I have brought the Apple Composite AV cable about 3 days ago.
Message was edited by: Italian_Stallion

Your av composite cable isnt compatible with the ipod touch 4G, i assure you that. It will work on older devices like what you have said... But ipod touch 4G is completely a high tech device in present generation. Apple cables/cables are compatible specifically to a device. Try to buy cables conpatible with iphone 4 above and i assure you it will perfectly work with an ipod touch 4G. Iphone 3gs model is inferior to 4th generation models. So maybe the cable cant function properly on higher models because its firmware, specs., etc. is more advanced.

HD m2v render files come out speed up

Greetings. I've been recently working on an HD project in final cut. Everything was going fine until it came time to export. I'm working with 720p footage shot at 23.98 fps and edited in a 23.98 fps timeline.
When I export the video to an m2v file at standard definition, it exports just fine and my final video comes out at 24 fps like I need it. However, making no other adjustments, when you change the image size to 720p for an HD render, it comes out at 59.97 frames per second. I've tried using all the default settings in compressor, as well as switching the frame rate to automatic (even tried it at 59.97 fps to see what would happen) and obviously I've tried setting the frame rate to 23.98 fps.
Regular definition comes out fine everytime and 720p always comes out at 59.97 fps, regarldess of the frame rate settings. I'd like to figure out what's going on but bottom line is I need an HD m2v file of this film at 24 fps!
Something note worthy is that I can export to an H.264 HD .mov file with no issue; my client unfortunately needs a final HD render in m2v format.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm having this same problem. 90 minute project, DVCPRO HD 1080.
I rendered it once, took all night, then was able to export to mpeg2 for a dvd pretty quick. Few days later I went to export to another file format, but the renders were gone- back to red!

WHEN I SCAN TO PDF THE FILE COMES OUT HUGE!!

HELLO EVERYONE! WHENEVER I SCAN SOME DOCUMENTS INTO A PDF FILE, IT COMES OUT HUGE! AROUND 25MB. I WENT TO KINKOS AND HAD THE SAME FILE SCANNED AND IT WAS AROUND 110KB.
IS THIS A PROBLEM WITH MY SCANNER? I CURRENTLY USE A DELL 962 ALL-IN-ONE.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

This has nothing to do with Adobe Reader. It has to do with your scanner's settings. They are scanning to fewer colors, lower resolution and even perhaps to a different type of image. Please consult the maker of your scanning software.

Edit original, photoshop file grayed out

I am running CS5.5.
I Just started a new project. I made a title in Photoshop CS5 I imported it into my Premiere project dropped it on the time line and it works. But when I tried to Edit Original the command is grayed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dennis

I have re-phrased my response to make it NOT sound like having the suite is a requirement for the 'Edit in Adobe Photshop' option to appear.
If you have Photoshop stand-alone installed you will still get that option, in most cases. It just needs to be able to see that Photoshop has been installed. However, I've run tests where I had the suite installeld, installed a later version in addition to the newer suite version, and then upon choosing 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop', the file opend in that later standalone version of PrPro because the OS had changed the affilliation to that version upon install.
I know that there are also cases where the affilitation has been inadvertently set away from Photoshop altogether. Knowing that the user has installed the suite (or both standalone prodcuts of the same version) virtually eliminates that possibility. But in this case, the user was just not seeing the menu item.
@ welchphoto... Perfectly understable mistake. I've done that too. I'm just glad it we could solve it quickly for you.

Output to Printer or PDF File Comes Out Small, Like Zoomed Out

I'm trying to print a 60 page family cookbook with text and pictures (17 mb, using the blank template). Everything looks fine on the screen as measured by the rulers, except for a large suspicious grey strip outside of the horizontally ruled area, along the left side of each page, inbetween the page and the left ruler (in 2-up view, there is a grey strip on the right side of the right hand page as well). In any files with these strips, the output to Print Preview, or the printer, or to PDF files is zoomed out so that the print area is about 70% of the original. I have some early versions of the files that look normal on the screen and which Pages outputs fine. In other words, there appears to be something wrong with these particular files. What?
I thought that since I had originally placed some objects that stuck outside of the margins that may have caused this change, but everything now seems to be within the page margins. The scale is set to 100%. I can't duplicate the problem, and I can't fix it.
Will the recipes get out on time?

HD footage in 4:3 timeline project comes out stretched during playback!

Hello Fellow Final Cutters,
I am doing some projections for a theatre show, and need to project in 4:3 aspect to maximize screen area on an unusual shaped screen. I am using FCP6 and monitoring onto both my Apple 20" display and/or NEC (native 4:3) projector with display settings set to 1024x768. My sequence settings are Custom size 1024x768, square pixels or PAL ratio, field dominance none, compression Animation, Photo Jpeg, or ProRes422. I've tried all combinations of this but the problem is, I can monitor the correct aspect when the frame is STILL, but when PLAYING it squeezes into 16:9.
This will be a problem when doing test projections in rehearsals, as it won't fit the custom 4:3 screen in the set. Exporting a QT displays fine in 4:3 on the external displays, it is just when playing from the FCP timeline, the image becomes squeezed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on basically monitoring a custom 4:3 sequence during playback without 16:9 distortion?
Cheers, hope you're all well
Sam

Oh, when I'm working in rehearsals its good to be able to update as fast as possible... watch a section of performance, project the images simultaneously, stop say after 30 secs, adjust image, re-render, playback from timeline, stop, adjust image, re-render, etc. Similar to editing with a client in studio, I need the display to show what the final outcome actually is on the fly.
Usually I am working in HD, projecting 16:9 or previously in SD projecting 4:3, but it seems in the crossover with FCP HD codecs there is some conflict trying to playback 4:3 using hi-res codecs (something better than SD PAL def). The included Film Academy setting (2048x1536) plays back without stretching, but this is REALLY hi res and is about double the rendering time. maybe I'll try downrezzing the Film Academy setting...

FAQ: If I buy Photoshop CS5 now, will I get a free upgrade when Photoshop CS6 comes out?

The following document explains:
Upgrade policy after new product announcement
Because Adobe hasn't officially announced official CS6 pricing and availability dates yet, your best bet is to wait until there is an official announcement on pricing and availability.

The upgrade policy for CS6 was posted yesterday:

SVG-converted Ai file comes out crappy.

So I'm new to saving an Ai file to SVG formats and I was wondering why the conversion seems to make the image crappier. I've removed all grouped objects and is working on just one layer now. All are ungrouped except for the ones with clipping masks. Need to send this to my boss soon. What is causing the downgrade of quality?
If you look closely at the svg file, the grass, house, and fences, even the hood and hands are seemed to be detaching from each other. That happens everytime I try to convert the AI to SVG. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

The decimal places was in the highest number. I don't know if it's the answer but when I rasterized the whole thing, it didn't detach anymore.

Blocky lettering from Photoshop file

I am trying to lay some photoshop files of text over some video material. Unfortunately when I render the video the text comes out very blocky.
It's a PAL DV project if that's makes any odds.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
J

Adding text to a DV project will make it blocky...that is the nature of DV. It is compressed 5:1, and anything you add to that is as well.
For better results, when you are done, drop your project into an uncompressed 8-bit timeline and render and see what your text looks like then. Unless you have to output to DV...then you can't do that.

How do I open a VERY old (1991) photoshop file?

Probably ancient to most, but still pertinent to me.
I used Photoshop (on the mac) WAY back in the day. Can't remember the version, but back then, Macs had resource forks, finder.dat and stuff like that. I have a file that was amazingly 8mb in size (gigantic back then) - it had layers! And yes, I still have the resource fork files and so on.
Still, I cannot figure out how to open it.
I have other files from that era - photoshop says it does not recognize them, but irfanview (god bless it) opens the simple ones. But it has a header error with this one.
Any idea on how to open ancient files like this? Any resources? I googled, of course, and the standard answer is "photoshop opens all psd files from any version" - well, this is before the mac put "psd" on these files.
Help? Thoughts?
Thanks.
P.S. I was able to open it only a few years ago. 5? 7? Time flies, doesn't it. Yes, should have resaved it in a newer format. I know.

If the file is a layered file from photoshop, then it would have to be a psd (photoshop) file as versions before 6 wouldn't save layered files
in anything but the psd (photoshop) format.
On a windows machine if your adding the file extension or using File>OpenAs>PSD that should work on a good photoshop (psd) file, even one from photoshop 3 on an vintage mac, but
since infraview can't even open it, it may well be the file has been corrupted somehow.
On a later mac you should be able to use File>Open, highlight the file in the open dialog and then choose psd.
