Sequence Settings: 1920 footage is changed to 1440

I'm importing footage from my Canon T2i shot at 1920x1080 24fps. There are no other sources for the sequence. I dragged clips into the timeline and now the sequence is set to 1440x1080. Furthermore, I don't see any options to change it to 1920x1080 in the dropdown menus. How can I get the sequence to match the clips' 1920?
(On a side note, does the Canon shoot in 1080p or 1080i? I assumed it was progressive. There is an option for 1080i, but it's grayed out on the sequence setting menu.)

Did you convert this media before you imported it? It's not in a format that works in FCP natively. How did you convert it? What did you convert it to? Use a sequence preset that matches your media.

  • Exporting at Sequences settings... Changes aspect ratio.

    I'm preparing some 16:9 DV footage for a Multi-Clip edit. So I'm Exporting a few sequences to my HD to re-import as a clip, at that point they are in sync for Muli Clip.
    When I Export and deselsect 'make self contained movie', it comes back into FCP at Full Screen. I really want to use this option to save a ton of HD space. If I export and check 'make self contained movie', it re-imports at the correct Wide Screen aspect ration. How can I not make a self contained movie and maintain aspect ratio? I've had this problem since I bought FCP and gone through all the updates.
    When I Export a Movie, I'm simply going to Export>QuitimeMovie (use sequence settings).
    Thanks for your time.

    I don't know where else to access that checkbox besides Sequence Settings, there it has been checked since the project started.
    Well my Multi Clip training only goes as far as Lynda.com's coverage. My original clips that I capture were from two different cameras that didn't share the same time code or start time. Also, both camera started and stopped many times individually and lastly I had an external audio source to fly in. So to my thinking at the moment, I had to sort the video and audio clips into 1 sequence per camera so they all share the same start/stop time and duration. At this point since Multi-Clip doesn't edit Sequences, only clips, I export the sequences and re-import them as clips. If you feel like explaining an easier way, I'm all ears, thank you.

  • Auto-adjust Sequence-settings to Footage?

    Hi People,
    Just a question:
    I teach students how to work with Adobe Premiere Elements. In that way I expierenced a  nice little auto-message. If a user uses a projectsetting that does not correspond to the footage that he/she imports, APE9 give a nice little warning. Followed up with the question to auto-adjust the project settings to the settings of the film. Not only does it work very well, but projects that had a red bar ontop of the timeline now seem to have less rendering issues, thus, the system works a lot faster.
    Now:
    I understand that when filming with a professional camera and editing with Premiere Pro, most users know what footage corresponds best with the sequence settings. But sometimes (...and maybe it's just me who expierences this), I get footage from strangers. Not exactly knowing what the settings are. Even if I know that the user shot the film using a Sony XDCam format, there a lots of options to choose from.
    What would you guys say, if there was an OPTION (so, not auto-adjust), to have a standard sequence, then put any footage in it, and then click on the option (rightclickmenu -> Auto adjust Sequence to Footage).
    I'd love it, but hey, maybe there already is a better way, in which case: I'd love to hear from you!

    ...maybe there already is a better way, in which case: I'd love to hear from you!
    There is. Drag a clip to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel (that's the button that looks like a dog-eared sheet of paper). This will create a sequence matching the clip's parameters, and place the clip into it.
    You can also right-click a clip and select New Sequence From Clip--that's in CS5.5 only, though.

  • SEQUENCE SETTINGS CS6  ( CAN'T CHANGE VIDEO SIZE OR frame size  )

    Wow
    I am a big fan of Adobe, but this i don't understand. Why can't you cahnge the sequence settiings in CS6. The sequence settings such as video frame size, and frame rate ae graded out. This makes it very hard when dealing with proxies. I am guessing they took this feature out because of the warp stabilizer. They should give you the option to be able to choose between warp stabilizer and sequence settings. If anyone knows how to fix this, Please help!

    PP has long fixed the Sequence settings once they're created.  The standard method of dealing with this is to create a new sequence and simply Copy/Paste all the clips from old to new.

  • Why does Prores need to render when sequence settings match footage?

    I have imported some Prores footage that plays fine in the viewer window. When I drop it in a new sequence and let it match the settings it still shows up as needing to be rendered. Any thoughts?

    If you're going out to tape, yes, if you're going to a file, well, not really. You can just render a file directly out of FCP to disk without rendering the timeline. Kinda dangerous if you can't see what you're outputting. Or you can output a reference file in a couple of minutes out of FCP and put it into Compressor and do the real rendering there with a lot more control. A reference file is a quicktime, using current settings, which is NOT a self-contained movie. I have a directory of these reference files that I can use on the machine for different renders and at the same time feel free to delete. They're very quick to create. Are you running FCS3? if so Share is yet another process for exporting.

  • My sequence settings have changed - inexplicably

    I have loaded up a project i was working on yesterday and i can't understand why but my sequence settings appear to have changed from what they were initially set to.
    They should be and were:
    Frame size: HD 1440 x 1080 (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080)
    Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
    Compressor: DVCPRO HD 1080i50.
    Now they are:
    Frame size: 720x576 CCIR 601 / DV PAL (5:4)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: PAL - CCIR 601 (720x576)
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
    Compressor: DV - PAL
    So now in effect I have HD footage on an SD anamorphic timeline. When I change the settings to the correct ones, it stretches and shrinks the footage.
    How do I correct this without having to recut the whole thing?
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Reset the settings to what they should be. Then go to a single clip, and reset it's Basic Motion and Distortion in the Motion tab of the Viewer. Copy this clip, select all of your other clips, right-click, choose "Paste Attributes", and check Basic Motion and Distort.
    An even faster way to do it: select all in the timeline, then command option v. Then tick the Distot and Basic Motion checkmarks and press OK.
    Note that any changes you've made in Basic Motion and Distort on your clips already will be lost (i.e. a "Ken Burns" pan/zoom on a shot or image).
    Correct. Also for the workflow I sugested
    Not sure if there's a way to do it without losing that information, maybe someone else will pipe up.
    No. that is not possible. Both methods will reset all those information and you'll need to redo them.

  • Sequence Settings FCP to Color and back again

    Sorry in advance if i missed the answer to this when previously searching the forum.
    Ok, I have a sequence in FCP. I duplicate it removing any problematic effects and place it all on one time line. I send the sequence to Color. In the settings I notice that the quick time settings are a different ratio to my fcp settings. I change them to 1440 x 1080 (same as FCP). When I send the rendered graded sequence back to FCP the sequence changes to a different frame size?
    I can go into sequence settings in FCP and change them but is there a way of keeping the same aspect ratio / pixel ratio and dimensions between the 2 applications.
    It feels like I have missed a step when setting the applications up but I can't find where.
    Any help will be much appreciated

    morphretouch,
    Since you are working w/an interlaced format you should be aware of a couple of bugs in Color that will cause the program to mess up your field order. The first bug is using certain nodes in the Color FX room and the second bug is caused by resizing/reframing in the Geometry room (this includes resizes that are done in FCP as that information is carried over into Color). Even if you resize something in Color and then hit the "reset" button the bug will still happen because Color still thinks you resized the image (the border of the frame in the Geometry room will be red instead of white).
    More details about the Color FX bug can be found here:

    A work around for the Geometry room bug can be found here:

    The work around is in a post by Saul Budd, about half down the page, and starts with the line "I've just had a "D'oh!" moment ..."

  • Mixing Timeline Sequence Settings

    Hey all,
    I have this sitcom that I've filmed. Episodes 1-4 are shot with a Sony HDRFX7. And then for Episode 5 (finale) we filmed it with a different camera. JVC HD something.
    Problem is, our opening title theme song clip is made up of clips from episodes 1-4. (works fine in those episodes)/
    But the same clip show must be used in episode 5 (with clips from episode 1-4). But the timeline sequence settings are different now. So the opening theme got all messed up when i copied it into the episode 5 timeline.
    Is there anyway to fix this issue? I haven't tried manually fixing it. But is there anyway to have two different sequence settings? Or any other suggestions?

    Please provide detailed sequence settings AND footage settings... (in this case two footage settings). select your footage, hit command-9.
    Frame Size?
    Aspect Ratio?
    Pixel Aspact Ratio?
    Anamorphic?
    FIeld Dominance?
    Editing TImebase?
    Compressor?
    Audio Settings? Rate/Depth

  • Changed sequence settings to match source footage but only half footage now matches even though they're from the same camera and same aspect ratio

    My source footage is 1920 X 1080 from a canon 60D. I changed my sequence settings to Digital SLR 1920 X 1080 to match. On the program window I have it set at "Fit". Only about a quarter of my footage now fits the program screen and looks to be the matching aspect ratio. The rest of the footage when on "fit" fills a tiny portion of the viewing window so it appears they don't match the sequence settings. I don't understand why this is happening because this footage is from the same camera, shot the same day, and have the same aspect ratios.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it??

    First of all, the setting that you mention is on Fit is the Zoom Level of the Program Monitor. It controls only how the sequence is shown in that monitor; it has nothing to do with how any sources are handled in the sequence.
    Please provide the following information:
    Exact version of Premiere Pro
    Exact version of operating system
    Graphics card and driver
    Also, please post a screenshot showing the following

  • How Do I Change My Sequence Settings to Match My Clip

    Hello -
    I shot some footage in SD with a frame size of 16:9. When I dragged a clip into my first sequence, FCP asked 'if I wanted the Sequence to assume the properties of the clip?' I hit 'yes' which changed the sequence to match my clip. However, when I created a new sequence(in the same project) and dragged a clip into it, FCP did not prompt me with the option to change the sequence settings. Now, I have a 4:3 sequence with a letterbox 16:9 clip. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks for your help!
    Isaiah Smith

    menu: Sequence Settings (or Commnd 0).
    Then check (√) the Anamorphic checkbox.
    OK
    Then select everything in the timeline. (Command A)
    Command Option V (Remove attributes). Make sure Distort is checked (√)
    OK.

  • How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

    Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
    That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
    I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
    So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
    The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
    Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
    Thank you!

    Hi Paolon!
    You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
    For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
    I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
    First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

  • Changing Sequence Settings for HD

    Hi Gang
    Working with FC6
    I work mostly with Standard Def, but I have a few pieces/clips of HD.
    If I change the Sequence Settings here, as prompted, will ALL the sequence settings also be changed to exisiting Projects which contain mostly Standard Def?
    The plan is to integrate a few pieces of HD footage to other standard footage in the same timeline.
    Thanx
    Mike

    "I understand you have a DV timeline already setup"
    Yes
    "when you bring in an HD shot FCP should automatically resize and letterbox it (if you are in a 4:3 timeline) No prompts."
    Actually initially there is a warning/prompt to reset settings; http://www.locationstudio.net/Sequence%20Settings.jpg
    I will say NO to this prompt, edit the clip, drag it down, and resize manually 120%, (I don't use wide screen format).
    Thanx

  • Sequence Settings Changes-

    Hello,
    I am new to Final Cut Express, but have had no problems troubleshooting using the Support Forums in the past. Currently however,  I am in quite the predicament. The problem first started when I realized that the quality of the video in the Viewer was far greater than that of the Canvas. I then reviewed several posts, and discovered that the sequence settings are set to 720x480, while the footage is 1920x1080. Following the post's "instructions" I attempted to change the sequence settings to match that of the file settings; but to no avail. As additional information, I just started using a GoPro Hero camera, and although I film in the same resolution as my Canon, the Compressor changed from Apple Intermediate Codec to "H.264" on the GoPro footage. Because I have never encountered this problem before, I am fairly certain it has something to do with the new camera. In addition to the Compressor difference, here are other changes since I have imported footage:
    I noticed is that in the viewer, the resolution percent was set to 44%, automatically. In the canvas however, it's 132%.
    I didn't use log and transfer to import files, because FCE 4 HD wouldn't recognize them, giving me a message about some sort of protection. I proceeded to copy the files onto my hard drive, and then import them into FCE4 through the Import>Files.
    Overall, from reading the other posts it sounds like I just need to change the sequence settings. How do I do this...

    Select the clips that aren't filling the frame correctly, and then right click on one of them to select "remove attributes". From the dialog box that will open, select "basic motion" then click OK. This should take care of your problem if I'm reading this correctly.

  • Sequence Settings for HDV footage to create SD 16 x 9 -help!

    I shot HDV footage (using Sony Z1U) and want to use it as SD footage in final cut.
    How do I set up a sequence to be able to create an SD sequence in 16 x 9? Which sequence settings should I choose for this?
    Also, do I need to capture the footage as Anamorphic 16:9 or can I simply check the Anamporphic 16:9 box?
    Thanks, Joel

    HDV has a natively wide aspect ratio, and is not anamorphic (stretched) like SD widescreen.
    FCP seems unable to correctly allow for the reversed field order of HDV when converting to SD with software, whether exporting QT, going direct to compressor, or nesting into SD and rendering.
    Also, if you go direct to compressor from your HDV sequence, type elements and pixel layers will shift around and change aspect ratio.
    I have had good luck exporting a self-contained native HDV movie and running that through compressor, though I am forced to turn frame controls off in my compressor preset, which throws out every other field and gives a pattern of progressive frames where every 5th frame is repeated. Our producer called it the "max headroom" effect.
    If you know you won't need HDV output for the current planned workflow of your project, I would start by capturing SD by turning on the DV downconvert setting on your HDV deck. You'll save yourself a lot of time and headaches.
    Otherwise, if you want to work in native HDV, output and HDV master of the finished sequences and recapture those as DV if you want to retain the origiinal fields in your SD output, whether to tape or to mpeg2.
    When you recapture as DV, whether the original source, or a recapture of you finished master, that's the point at which you'll want to capture anamorphic.

  • Sequence settings for RED footage

    Hi to all,
    I'm editing with RED footage, using the low res redcode 512x288 clips.
    I'm trying to set my sequence settings to be able to edit without having to render for preview.
    But i can't seem to find the REDCODE compressor in my compressor list.
    Any suggestion on how i can set this, without having to convert all my clips to prores.
    thanks in advance.
    tee/

    Well you won't get the gray bar above those clips, and you'd find better performance with more machine...
    What you're doing there is asking the computer to reference the original R3D files, and then down-convert them to a lower resolution in +real time+. Obviously this is very CPU intensive, and the faster machines do better with it.
    Might be best with an iMac to use the log and transfer window and transcode it all to ProRes. I gotta say, it's not as fast and efficient as what you're doing there, but if you can't get smooth enough playback for the edit, it sure might serve you to spend the time in the transcoding.
    Still, if that preference in the User Pref's Editing tab is turned on to "Ask" you definitely should be getting the prompt to change the sequence settings to match. Might trash your preferences and give that setting another look see...
