Sequence setting changed in mid edit.

Is it possible to chance the sequence setting after you've begun to edit? I'm pretty sure my sequence automatically conformed to the footage when I began. Everything was normal and when I got to the end it was pixelated. the sequence setting is 720x480. I don't know what i did.

Perhaps the items towards the end of your Sequence need to be rendered because they:
Use a different codec.
Are large .jpeg images with movement.
Use filters which do not play back at full quality.
Easy to tell. Do you have a colored line above the clips on the Timeline?

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

Changed sequence setting on timeline - now exports jittery . . .

Editing in HD from clips shot with Canon XH A1. Have exported a couple of projects with no issues using Print to Tape. This short project's clips are 1440 x 1080. Sequence setting was 1280 x 1080 (?). So changed sequence setting to match clips. When printing to tape, images are very jittery (blurry motion). I assume I haven't made the correct adjustments. Any help appreciated.

If you have Final Cut Pro 6, try this:
• Create a new sequence using the appropriate Easy Preset.
• Copy and paste one clip into the new sequence.
• If the program asks if you want to change the sequence settings to match the clip, select yes. If it doesn't ask, it means your sequence settings match the clip.
• Cut and paste the rest of the material from the old timeline to the new one.
Good luck.

When recently synchronising my iphone it suggested to uograde to latest software. Now none of my sounds can be changed. Have gone to setting and tried to edit but the only sound I get is Marimba despite a different ringtone being selected?

I also lost my ringtones. I have spent about $100 dollars on ringtones to apply different songs to different callers...and now i can't find them.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

Hi Shiva,
The first SAP note applies to other browsers and works well for IE6. The problem we face is with IE6. We are already on SPS 21 so according to the note the issue should not appear.
Are there any other solutions for this ?

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7, and I use a Roland RD700GX keyboard to input midi data into Logic. How do I set up Logic to record the Roland's own internal Grand Piano sounds into Logic, while retaining the ability to make midi edits? By Eggie

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 on a mid-2011 Intel iMac running OS10.7.4. I use a Roland RD700GX as my midi input keyboard. How can I set up Logic to record The RD700GX's own internal Grand Piano sounds, while retaining the ability to take advantage of Logic 9's midi editing capabilities. I am a relative newcomer to Logic, and I haven't been able to find an answer in The Logic 9 User Manual. A step by step procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.
Best,

Final Cut Pro: Sequence Setting Question

I would like to know what the best sequence setting is for my FCP project.
In my project I mostly use digital still images, shot with a digital camera. I import images into FCP and directly drag them onto a sequence.
JPEG file dimensions 3488x2616
For making stop motion animation, the duration of each frame is extremely short, usually 00:00:00;03.
If the project is 60 seconds, it usually ends up with about 550 or more still images on a sequence.
What should be the appropriate sequence setting for it?
Frame Size: currently set for NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: currently set for NTSC-CCIR601/DV (720x480)
Quicktime Video Settings/Compressor: currently set for DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
in the Advanced field/Frame per Second: currently set for 29.97
Are these settings need to be made before editing the project or could setting changes still be applied to a finished project?
Any advice would be appreciated!!

Hi Tom,
I export QT movie and make it into a DVD using DVD studio pro.
I was trying to learn about the ProRes the other day but there are many kinds and could not figure out what the best one is for me.
Which prores preset could I use? and could I still change it even the project is done editing?
Many thanks!

How to customize sequence setting

Hi,
It is probably a very basic question but cannot find how to customize the sequence settings.
When I created new project, I chose NTCS setting.
The movie source I used is 1280x960. When I drag it in the sequence window, it doesn't fit in the format. (It looks like it crops the movie)
I clicked on Sequence Setting menu to edit, but size is in grey and therefore cannot change the size.
Does anyone can explain me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Start over by making a new sequence, hit General, then change the Editing Mode to Desktop (dropdownmenu)
Now you can set everything manually.
Copy content old sequence into this new sequence if you do not want to edit all over.

What Sequence Setting for 4:3 Aspect Ratio?

Just moved up from FCE to FCS2. Do commercials for small market cable and broadcast in SD 4:3 in FCE. Now in FCP I see a sequence setting for Frame Size Aspect Ratio NTSC DV that shows 3:2 aspect. Not really clear on what this is and after pouring through the manuals and searching this forum, still don't get it.
In the end, I want normal SD 4:3 TV commercials. In FCE, it was a simple NTSC setting. Does my sequence in FCP need to be 4:3 or 3:2? Need a little education on this and can't find any explanation anywhere.
Thanks for the help.

What format is your source? I would never export out of FCP in that manner to achieve a frame rate conversion.
There are a couple of ways to change your footage from 23.98 to 29.97. The easiest I feel, is to select all the clips in your 23.98 sequence using CMD+A. Then copy (CMD+C),create a new 29.97 sequence and paste (CMD+V) those clips into your new sequence. Render and export a Quicktime Movie, Self-Contained.
However, I'm curious if you're shooting in HD based on your 23.98 frame rate. If you are, then you should be using a better SD sequence than DV which is 4:1:1 color sub-sampling. You may be throwing away half of your color information by working in that format.

Andy:
Using your method of copy/paste to a new 29.98 sequence solved the problem. Thanks.
What I had done to try out the new features in FCP vs. FCE was to create a 23.98 timeline (since I am shooting in SD 24pa with a DVX100A), add a Motion Master Template, add a few jpg's to the drop zones, add 3 NTSC-formatted jpg's to the end for the logos, add a Soundtrack music bed.
For future commercials, will likely be shooting 24pa footage, so wanted to figure out working in a 23.98 sequence. Just had not understood how to get it back to 29.98 for the cable company and broadcast stations. Your advice (copy to new sequence) makes it simple. Hopefully based on this info, I am still on the right track to accomplish my goal. I want to get the 24p look for some clients, but deliver the finished spots via upload to the stations' servers in a QT MOV.
If you have any other advice that would improve things, ready, willing and able to listen. Been Mac-ing since Mac Plus days, but new to FCP. Made the switch from Express with the access to 24p shooting. Thanks.

16x9 footage is 4x3 in camvas window. Sequence set to animorphic????

Hello all.
I have searched the threads and can't find the specific answer to fix my issue.
Sequence set to animorphic. Footage shot in squeeze mode on DVX 100A. Digitized via Sony 900 calm shell as animorphic in FCP.
Problem:
When opening 16x9 footage file from bin, opens in canvas window as 4x3 (not 4x3 in 16x9 canvas window - viewer window remains in 16x9). When dropped into sequence, must change aspect ratio back to 0. Clip will not retain aspect setting and reverts back to 4x3 if taken off of timeline. Have to repete process each time. Clips do not need to be rendered.
Any help appreciated.
enzo
Dual Core 2.3 G5 PCIe Mac OS X (10.4.5)

so when you double click the clip in the browser they open into the viewer window which shows them in their correct aspect (16:9)
but when edited into a sequence it distorts to 4:3 (and the canvas window is 4:3 not 16:9)
this suggests that the sequence settings are actually not set as 16:9 anamorphic
can you recheck them... with the problem sequence open and active, press Cmd-Zero or choose Sequence menu > Settings...
in the settings window check to see if the Anamorphic (16:9) checkbox is checked
if it is please post the exact details of all settings in that sequnece window plus all the format details of one of th eproblem clips (select one in the browser and press Cmd-9)

What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only. I have two questions:
1. What should I use for the sequence settings? Should I edit with a HD sequence setting?
2. I am going to scan the pics myself. What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality? I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

How do I change the Not Editable flag of a variable?

How do I change the Not Editable flag of a variable? I need to edit the variable but right now the Not Editable box is checked.

You can't do it unfortunately. That's why it pops up a warning when you check it in the first place.
Ok seriously though there is a workaround for this. It's a total hack but may get you back to where you need to be without having to copy everything to a new sequence file.
WARNING: Not sure what versions of TS this will work with.
With the offending sequence file open go to Edit>>Sequence File Properties.
On the General tab change the File Format to XML.
Click OK.
Save the sequence file.
Now browse to where you saved the sequence file and open it with Notepad.
Search for FileGlobal and look for the offending variable. <MyGlobal classname='Num' valueflags='1'>
It should have a property called valueflags. It will be valueflags='1'.
Remove that property altogether. So it should be something like this: <MyGlobal classname='Num'>
Save it and reopen it in TestStand.
You may need to change it back to binary format from within TestStand.
If deleting it gives you problems then just change the valueflags to 0.
Hopefully this helps.

Problem: Sequence setting for adobe premiere pro CS 5.5

I'm using Adobe Pr to edit my video. When I import the video (details as below) to pr, it does not have any image (got sound only)
I'm very confuse about the sequence setting. I'm still new in using adobe software.
Which sequence should be suitable for my video editing?
Camera : Canon EOS 70D
Frame size : 1280 x 720
Frame Rate : 50 frame / second

Does the video play in the Project Window (as shown below) or Source Monitor?
Is there a videofile (apart from the audio part) in the timeline. Does it show black or is the videotrack empty. Has the video track been targeted?

.MTS transfer headache, and sequence setting suggestion needed

Hello forum users...
I am trying to edit a sequence with scenes captured on a variety of recording devices (SONY AVCHD, GoPro, and ScreenFlow screen capture)...It's a headache enough to try and get them all to match up for size and compression. I bought emicsoft's conversion software and converted the original .MTS files from a folder on my desktop into .MOV files. FCP could read them (although I sometimes get a red bar on the timeline when I bring them in...), but when reviewing the original .MTS compared to the new .MOV I noticed a drop in quality.
I researched on the forums and saw how people were suggesting to convert the .MTS through the "Log and Transfer" feature... I tried this and was given this message: "00009.MTS" has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media.
...so i researched further, and saw I needed to drop the file into Final Cut Pro>Capture scratch folder, which I have done, but when I try to bring the file into the Log and Transfer window I still get an error message, or if I try and just drag and drop, the icon for the original .MTS is grayed out.
...I kinda have steam coming out of my ears about now, so any suggestions would be extremely grateful...
P.S. while I have your attention, any suggestions on what "sequence setting" I need to choose if I am using these converted .MTS files in addition with other files that are mpeg4 (1440x1080) and DVNTSC (1920x1080)???????
THANKS!THANKS!THANKS!!!!

I converted to a .MOV file (mpeg4) because I thought that was the best option I had using emicsoft's conversion software...you practically need a machete to get through all the options. Unfortunately Quicktime prores isn't on the list...
I got the MPEG Stream clip file, but when I open the .mts files I get a message: "unrecognized file type", so I got the Clipwrap program trial, and it looks like I can just convert .mts to prores 422 from there..
Which I did, and imported into FCP. Opened and played beautifully...it asked if I wanted to set the sequence to match the clip, I said yes. But then I brought in my .mov files (captured from SCREENFLOW, and also shot on the GoPro camera -at a different frame size), and imported them into the time line... the screenflow one became really small and went to the upper left corner and the rest of the canvas screen was some pink and green posterized version of the clip, and then when i brought in the gopro it couldn't play ("unrendered").
the screenflow.mov wouldn't open in Clipwrap, so I went into streamclip to convert to 422, and converted the gopro .mov also to 422.
I went back and imported all 3 different file types... the MTS converted to 422 played beautifully, the screenflow converted to 422 played beautifully, the gopro converted to 422 came up UNRENDERED in the timeline with a red bar across...
...now the gopro shoots at a different frame size..its not full letterbox, it come up more like a square..1280x960
I AM SO CLOSE...75% there... I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!
BUT, last issue to solve (for the time being...;) ...how can i get the 1280x960 clip to show up rendered?? I ran it thru streamclip and converted to 422, so that isn't the issue...
THANKS!THANKS
