Recipe for DVCPRO HD 16x9 convert to MiniDV Letterboxed

Hi everyone,
Can you please help me figure out the recipe to convert DVCPRO HD 16x9 to MiniDV Letterboxed?
I can never get it to look right after many tests.
Also, what's the recipe for converting the same thing to a DV file that I can load into iMovie and still have the 16x9 letterboxed in the 1:33 of my miniDV?
Thanks so much!!!
Kirk

Create a NTSC DV sequence with the same timebase as your DVCProHD sequence (probably 23.98). Nest the DVCProHD sequence. Render.
When you print the DV sequence to tape, FCP will automatically add the pulldown to 29.97 on the way out the firewire.

Need to convert 16X9 to 4:3 letterbox for DVD

Hello
Can anyone tell me the settings I need to convert 16X9 to 4:3 letterbox for DVD. I am mixing other 4:3 letterbox content. Evertime I make an mpeg with Quicktime conversion it is squeezed. I want it to be letterbox in 4:3
Thanks in advance.
I am using Final Cut Pro 4.5 and DVD pro 3

Dana Gonzales

In addition to using the advice above, make sure in Compressor (or other item you use to encode) that you are using the 16:9 encode ratio. If you are using QT conversion (which it sounds like from Final Cut?) also make sure that ratio is checked. Unlike a 4:3 m2v which will be 720 x 480 when you open it in QT, the 16:9 will be 720 x 404

Recipe for iPAD retina display

Hi,
Does anyone have a 'recipe' for processing photos for the ipad retina display.
I'm a bit confused as to trying to print to jpeg (with what settings?) or export.
I've tried a bit, but not been really happy with the results.
What do you do?

You could also have a read of Jeffrey Friedl's Lightroom-to-iPad workflow: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/ipad-howto2
This is effectively a Publish Service which can publish via FTP directly to a client app on the iPhone, thus bypassing iTunes and the iPad Photos app completely. I converted to this a few months back. Well worth a read.
PS I use exactly the same settings as Rikk, although I first crop all the images (VCs) to 4x3 if possible to ensure they are viewed full screen on the iPad.

Does Final Cut Pro offer native support for DVCPRO HD 720p25?

I would like to online a DVCPRO HD project on a Final Cut Pro suite with an HD i/o card, but I just wanted to make sure that the latest Final Cut Pro offers support for DVCPRO HD 720p25 before making the jump.

Thanks for the info. I will check if the production company's Blackmagic HD card supports DVCPRO 720p25.
Just for your information, we have offline edited on an Avid MC Adrenaline. We have had the biggest problems ingesting the media since we shot on a Varicam at 25p and the Avid wouldn't accept firewire. So we ended up cutting in 30i. Which now ***** since the online is a pain.
It seems like we will export an EDL per video track from the Avid, then hopefully find a company or a person who will convert our 30fps EDL to 25fps via the software EDLMax24. Then import the EDLs into a Final Cut Pro HD suite with a Blackmagic HD card via HD-SDI, and online from the HD AJ-1400 deck. And hopefully that will work.
The only outstanding thing is to find someone with EDLMAX24 since it retails at 600USD.

Mass creation of BOM and Master Recipe for Plants

My client wants to do Mass BOM creation and Mass Master Recipe Creation from a Generic BOM and Generic Master Recipe for all 10 Plants by just a click of button.
He does not want to use copy function using CSO1 or C201, and do for plants 'one by one'. He finds it very time-consuming. He wants to copy for all ten plants all at once. Please advice how this can be accomplished in the best possible manner, and if by standard SAP.
Thanks,
Sac

I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and vise vera.
<Re-Titled By Host>

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.
Changing your own thread midstream may not be ['thread hijack'] but it is like having the rug pulled out by changing the subject on us.

Hi Mark
Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem! Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options. I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
Hope this helps!

We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize. We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process i

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Recipe for 'home movie' effect? Ideas?

FCP 5.0.4
Anybody got a quick recipe for making a clip look like old Super 8 home movie?
Guessing frame rate around 12-18 fps or so, but how 'bout some way to add
scratches and weave?
Be nice if there were a plug in...or did I miss it? Can't recall if there's something maybe in After Effects or not.
Thanks in advance...

this is the mother of all plug-ins, more settings than you can possibly shake a stick at. it's also some of the best money you'll ever spend. http://www.nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/filmeffects.htm

Build recipe for dual I/O domains

Hello
I have 2 T4's each with 2 PCI buses. I want to build it with 2 separate I/O domains and each one feeds a path of SAN disk to the guest LDoms. I have assigned one bus to each domain but can't seem to get vdisk services to work with mpathing. What I have now is not working and would like a clear idea of how I should put one of these systems together.
I've seen lots of recipes for basic LDom guests which is fine. But nothing for a dual I/O domain setup.
Many thanks

Hi there.

I used this one, and it worked perfectly. It is an exampel for a T4.
Cheers

What laptop (if any) will be reliable for DVCPRO HD ?

Hi folks,
What laptop (if any) will be reliable for DVCPRO HD ?
The description says that the hard drives must be 7200, AND since a lot of data will be processed, the processer must be very fast, too.
I want to take this laptop on locations, so, it must be VERY reliable.
BUT, I won't do anything else with it but using as a recorder, so, I don't need a too sophisticated one, I mean, I don't want to go too crazy on the price!!!... :):):)
Thank you, Abe.

I'm considering the just out HP 9000z series. Comments?

DVCPRO HD framerate converter & timecode

when using the DVCPRO HD framerate converter tool in FCP, is there a way to retain the original timecode? When I convert my footage, it writes all new timecode and was wondering if I'm missing something.
Thanks all

Nope...all new timecode is created...because an all new clip is being created.
Why do you need to retain the original code?

Recommendations for purchasing an analog converter?

Looking for recommendations for purchasing an analog converter to transport Hi8 movies to IMovieHD 5.0.02. I have found Datavideo DAC-100 and Pinnacle Studio MovieBox DV version 9...which purport to work. Suggestions much appreciated.
Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi WWG3
Just bought and used a Canopus ADVC-300. Fills my need though it seems
to have an internal timecode that fills gaps from dorp-outs. MY GUESSING.
Anyhow the result was to my satisfaction. The box also had many video and
audio enhansing (destroying) functions which in my case gave a very plesant
result.
There are more versions to consider:
Canopus ADVC-55
Canopus ADVC-110
Pyro AV link
DAC-100
Director's Cut Take 2
ForeMac Studio
(Hollywood bridge - if it still is manufactured) - Had one and accidentally
killed it by turning the FW-connector 180 deg wrong. (I think it was rather
unreliably)
