Question about resolution of project vs. res of material to be imported

i am trying to put a project together that consists of still images (which i can prepare in any resolution) and some film material (avi and mov) which comes in the size of 640x480, square pixel aspect ratio.
what do i have to do in order to set up a new project in FCe to so i can import this film material and be able to create an output that can be burned on a dvd and will play on regular dvd players without distortion (would it need to become something like 720xsomething?)?
my available tools are FCe 3.5 and QTpro. any help will be appreciated!

ok! - the key hints about selecting "DVCPRO NTSC" and "select the motion tab and tweak the scale and aspect ratio settings" is probably what i was seeking...
i wonder what happens to the material when i change frame rate from 35 to 29.7 (i need to do this, right?)
some possible quality loss is not concerning me in this particular case because i will have sepia and heavy grain and stains as photoshop layers over the whole project to make it worn and look old. blurryness will be ok as long the jpg artefacts stay not too large and distinctly boxy.
i will try this out - thank you so far! frame rates and codecs are still a huge mystery for me. i am used to dealing with all kinds of resolutions for web or offset print use, there i have dimensions at a certain number of dots per inch and once the system is understood, it is easy to accomplish about anything.
i wonder if there is somewhere a source that lists video and film sizes, resolution frame rates and codecs and explains it all, along with examples when to use which...!

Question about redeploying a Project with multiple packages

I know that if I make changes to a single package within a project in SSIS 2012 that the entire project must be re-deployed. Also, I know that the project version is updated when it is re-deployed. My question
is about the packages in the re-deployed project that have not changed. Does anything actually change in the unaffected packages when only a single package is modified? Do the Identifiers for the all packages change or just the package
(or packages) that have been modified? I'd really like to hear from someone with actual experience with this issue.
Harold Jackson

Since you rebuild the version of the package gets incremented. No structural changes occur.

Question about Dates in Project View

I usually have no problems when it comes to date metadata, changing dates if need be, batch changes, etc... But this is something that is confusing me and I haven't been able to solve it.
My wife found one of her old PAS digital cameras, and it had images on the card. I decided to import them for her into Aperture, but it was immediately apparent to me that the date and times were off. The time zone was fine, so I imported the images using a card reader, adding the appropriate metadata of my choosing. After importing the images, I proceeded to change the date and time to the correct dates and times. This worked fine as well, only in Project view, the project doesn't fall into the right place. I have my projects organized into folders, and have them set to Date - Oldest First. The photos from this import show as today's date when I scroll over the image preview box and the project is organized as the last project, which is consistent with that date. The metadata shows that the file date is the date that I set it to be (which in this case would make it the oldest project in the folder). Nothing I do changes anything.
I then decided that maybe it had something to do with importing the images via a card reader instead of off of the Camera directly, so I decided to import straight from the camera. This time, the project is organized as the oldest project, but when I scroll over the Project preview box, the date that shows up is the original incorrect date, not the new date that I changed the photos to. The new date would still make the images the oldest project.
I really just want the dates to match up, and I can't imagine why the Projects preview is showing me one date when the metadata (and my own knowledge of the situation) is telling me that it should be showing a different date. When I made the adjustments to the date and time, I also applied the changes to the Master file.
Does anyone know what is going on here, why Aperture has a problem with something like this and if there is anyway to fix the problem?
Much obliged,
Mac

Update:
I just solved the issue, but I don't know why it should work like this, nor why this should happen.
Basically, the first time that I imported the images, I imported them separately as groups of photos so that I could import them each into individual new projects. I noticed that the first project I created had the right information both in the metadata and in the project pane. This being the case, I decided to import everything again, only this time I imported everything at the same time into one project and called the project, "Test" (this is arbitrary and has nothing to do with the solution).
Next I batch changed the date and time of all of the images in this "Test" project. Once that was done, I separated the images out into their own projects. This time everything showed up and was organized correctly.
Again, I don't know why it had to be done this way, but apparently once I imported the first time, that was the only time that the metadata was accurately recorded. The subsequent imports off of the same card were not recorded properly. Again, I have no idea why, nor what to do about that, but my data is correct now and this seems to have solved the issue.
If anyone has anything to say about the topic, please chime in.
Thanks,
Mac

Thousand and first question about resolution

From yesterday we are happy owners of Mac Mini. Beautiful, everything works and all that. Last task is to setup resolution for Panasonic 42" HDTV. Mini recognized it immediately as PANASONIC TV and suggested resolution 1280 x 720. Picture is there but not quite right.
Tried this suggested in one of the answers before:
How to Get 1080P, not 1080i, out of the Mac Mini. This is the tough one. When you go to the Displays control panel on the Mac Mini (Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5), you are given lots of video choices. However, the maximum resolution says 1920×1080 (interlaced) at 60Hz. What gives? I’m not sure, but it seems like a bug. The secret is to enable the checkbox that says “Show displays in menu bar”. If you do then, a displays icon appears in the menu bar. Click it to get a drop down menu of all display resolutions. Interestingly, there are now two 1920×1080 options, which are labeled identically. Choose the other one! You’ll now be driving full 1080P (confirmed by the Vizio).
For me second 1920x1080 res line never appears in drop down menu. Suggestions??
Thank you,
Zack

Typically computer output will look better with a progressive resolution. With interlaced resolutions, a picture element like a horizontal line that is only one pixel in width will get drawn to the screen only once every alternate frame. This will cause the line to flicker badly relative to the rest of the screen.
But if the intent is to just show movies or photos or content like that, and avoid text and other more typical computer applications, then 1080i can look good. It's really up to you to decide which works best for your application and the gear you own.

Photoshop CS6: Question about Resolution when Post-Cropping Film Scans

Hopefully, somebody with more understanding than I on this topic, can help me with this.
I am about to get a film scanner I have on order, to scan in 35mm negatives. I've had one before but I had problems with the model and had to return it.
When scanning film frames, I like the idea of setting the scan area marquee, at the scanning stage, so that it scans slightly beyond the film frame edges, so that I can carefully crop to the edge of the film frame later, in Photoshop CS6, rather than setting it, at the scanning stage, and then later, when examining the film frame in CS6, maybe discovering that I have not scanned to the edge of the film frame quite enough, as I can easily zoom right into the image when in CS6, to carefully examine where the film frame edges are.
My concern about doing it like this, though, is that I may be reducing the resolution of the image. For example, say I scan a film frame in at 3600ppi, and later crop the image slightly in CS6 in order to precisely trim off any slight amount of black around the film frame edges. By cropping the film frame like this in CS6, am I reducing the image resolution of the film frame to lower than 3600ppi? As I best understand it, I do not think post-cropping like this results in any reduction in image resolution, but am I correct in thinking this?

Hi.
The scanner is a Reflecta ProScan 7200. As I said to station_two, I am in London. I understand the brand is known as 'Pacific Image' over in the US.
The scanning software I will be using it with will be 'SilverFast Ai Studio 8'.
Do take a look at this excellent review of the scanner:
http://www.filmscanner.info/en/ReflectaProScan7200.html
(I may be incorrectly assuming too much when on these forums that I am speaking exclusively with folk from the US - the way you spell 'labour' makes me think you are not from the US?)

Question about moving a project from FCP to Premiere to do color correcting/sound finalizing.

My friend and i have been editing a film on FCP express. I've been learning more about editing and color correcting recently and have been teaching myself on Adobe Premiere. I offered to color correct the film on Premiere on my system. I'm curious what the best way to do this would be. is it possible to take the timeline from FCB with the raw data and somehow open that in CS? Or should he export the pre corrected final cut without correcting as a certain type of file, then I work on that, then export that as the final cut?

If FCP express has XML export, then you can export the project and then import the XML into Premiere Pro. It will give you the basics of the timeline and basic transforms for each clip (position, scale, rotation). However, not everything comes across - titles and 3rd party effects will not come across.
Given that, another option is to render out the entire movie and then grade it in Premiere Pro. But you lose a lot of control if you go that way.
The third option is to import into Premiere Pro and rebuild the bits you might be missing from FCP and then you have both the control and options.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

Question about making a project backup with Media Manager

I have several projects that I am working on right now. I'd like to make a backup of these projects and burn them to DVDs. The question I have is when I select "copy" with Media Manager it shows me how much space the backup will be. Without selecting the render files each of my projects would fit a a single DVD. If I don't include render files can they easily be recreated by just re-rendering the backup project?
Thanks!

Backing up a project file takes very little space. Backing up the media associated with that project can take up a tremendous amount of space. By using Media Manager, I assume that you want to back up (copy) the media ... correct?
Do you only have 4.3gb of media used in the project you want to back up? That's all the data a DVD disc will hold.

Question about licensing a project under GPL

Hi all. I've been working on a bit of a summer project and it's nearing completion. I thought I might aswell share it with other people, and the topic of licensing crossed my mind. I'm just wondering about whether i'm doing everything right so that I can register the project on sourceforge.
It consists of a single 2000 line BASH script. That can be licensed under the GNU GPL right?
I read the stuff on the GNU website and all it seems I need to do is put a copyright comment at the top of the BASH script and supply a copy of the GNU GPL with the tar.gz. Is that all there is to it?
Thanks!

Since you rebuild the version of the package gets incremented. No structural changes occur.

Question about resolution

hi, i just bought the 24in LED monitor and i also have the 15in mcp (late 2008) and i was wondering what resolution setting i should have it on bc i doesnt look as clear as when i saw it at the apple store. thanks for your help

You should always run an LCD display at its native resolution. For your 24" LED ACD, you need to run it at 1920x1200.

A question about resolution on OS X

Hey all, i've noticed for some time now, ever since i installed bootcamp, that the resolution and overall clarity of text seems to be worse on OS X partition than on Windows 7 bootcamp even though both run native 1440x900. It might be placebo but i don't think so, especially in the top manu on Mavericks and in Safari i can notice that text is less sharp than when using Windows 7. Is there any particular reason for this?

Hello shonboy93,
You may need to verify that LCD font smoothing is enabled in System Preferences -> General.

Few Question about components - first project

hello everyone, this is my first Flash Builder php web based and i would like to know if any of these below is possible, if so how? And will it be able to pass the data over to the Database. I already generated a form from the database but i would like to change a few of the input text fields to a numbericstepper, combobox and DropDownList.
1. Can i add a generating letter/number (A1002) field on a form which is submitted to a MySQL database when submitted?
2. Can i add a text input field that i can use to send a email from the data that was added to the MySQL Database?
For example after the form is added to database i want to send a copy of it to a email
The datefield works, but how do i get the numricstepper, combobox and droplist to work?
For example:
protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                privatebookingService.getAllPrivatebooking();
                var privatebooking2:Privatebooking = new Privatebooking();
                privatebooking2.confirmationnumber = confirmationnumberTextInput.text;
                privatebooking2.bookingdate = bookingdateDateField2.selectedDate; (DATE FIELD)
                privatebooking2.bookingtype = bookingtype.selectedItem; (suppose to be drop list but doesnt work)
                Alert.show("You have successfully added a new booking");

I suggest that you dump the session scope in your footer before you call the function. If it's the same as in your main page, pass the necessary variables to your function as optional arguments and put some conditional logic in the function to see if anything was passed.

Questions about properties files

Hello,
I have two questions about properties files.
1. Is it possible to import a properties file from another properties file?
2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties file as described below in code snippet.
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
Code snippet:
var_one=foo
var_two=$var_one bar
The second line would then read "foo bar"

Hello,
I have two questions about properties files.
1. Is it possible to import a properties file from
another properties file?If you write your own code to parse whatever import statement you decide to put in the properties file, yes. But there's no provision to do so in the core APIs or in the standard usage of these files.
2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties
file as described below in code snippet.Same as the answer to your first question. Though this kind of thing is more common, so there might be a library at jakarta or sourceforge or mindprod or something that does this.

Question about printing and resolution

Hello
I am trying out a trial version of PE13 and am attempting to come to terms with printing and resolution.
I have also read this informative tutorial here:
How Image Resolution Affects Print Quality - Photoshop Tutorial
This is the image I would like to print:
In the tutorial referred to above, the author states that when printing, 300 resolution is best and not the 79.3 px/inch that I have. When I change that 79.3 to 300, the image of Marilyn becomes tiny, so my question is how can I have an image that would neatly fit onto A4 photo paper maybe with a 1" white border around it (meaning the image size would be 8" x 6") while retaining a 300 resolution?
Am I going about this the right way, aren't I?
Many thanks.
Steve

Steve,
The most important thing about resolution is the dimension in pixels.
Your original is 433 x 653 pixels. Just good enough to display on a normal laptop.
With A4 format at 300 ppi, you'd need:
21 / 2.54 * 300 = 2480 pixels wide
29.7 / 2.54 * 300 = 3507 pixel high.
Any image editor won't be able to add the missing resolution, but the solution is to let the editor guess the missing pixels by interpolation methods.
You won't get more details than those present in the original file, but you'll get a smoother, non 'pixelated' image.
In the Elements editor, you have to check the 'resample' checkbox to be able to keep the outpur size while increasing the ppi to 300.
