Sequence settings advanced tab

I'm working on PAL DVCAM 16:9 in FCP 7. Looking at the advanced tab in compresson settings (within sequence settings) does anyone know if it matters whether 4:3 or 16:9 is selected. I've been working foir a while always in 16:9 and have only recently noticed the setting. Printing to tape and exporting a quicktime it doesn't seem to make a difference except that when I play a 16:9 .mov in QT player with 4:3 selected that's how it plays until I adjust then save presentation settings in QT player. On the one hand its an 16:9 picture (anamorphic) on the other hand it's only got the same pixel count as a 4:3 frame. Don't want to discover a problem down the line that I just don't happen to have bumped into yet.

It is just yet another way to toggle between aspect ratios. You can also tick the anamorphic column in the browser, or choose an anamorphic easy setup.

Sequence Settings - missing tabs

Hope it's just a silly question...
My sequence settings window has only two tabs: Timeline options and render control. Do I have to change anything anywhere to be able to change other things as Samplerate, fieldorder etc...
I'm feeling a bit stupid at the moment..
Thanks for your help!

So there is no possibility to change the samplerate to 44.1k or cut a movie in 640x480? Ok, I could render it in whatever size I want to. But if my original footage is 640x480 it doesn't really make sense to scale it up, cut it and scale it down. Hmm, that's weird...

Best Sequence settings to work with HDV on FCP6

Friends
I'm a wedding videographer, I just got FCP6 and I have some doubts regarding Sequence Settings to work with HDV, if possible, could someone please help me?
I have a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 ghz and 2 GB Ram...
I started my FCP6 and selected Easy Setup as HDV-1080i60 FireWire Basic
1-) On Sequence Settings, General Tab, I left it as the easy setup set for me (Compressor HDV 1080i60, quality 100%, field UPPER, etc...).
2-) On Video Processing tab which options should I select?
a) Render in 8 bit YUV or Render all YUV material in High Precision YUV ?
b) Motion Filter Quality as Normal or Best ?
c) In Process Maximum White should I selected White or Super White ?
3-) On Render Control tab:
a) I set codec to Apple ProRes 422.
b) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I set Quality to NORMAL or BEST ?
c) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I check the box "Always Use Best Quality When Rendering Movies" ?
thanks ererybody for your attention.
Regards
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo
After choosing your Easy Setup my advice would be to leave everything on its default setting, except for switching the Render Control to Apple ProRes 422. Don't sweat the details, it really is that simple.
Stand by tho ... others will almost certainly chime in quickly with all the details you can shake a stick at, but if they all get rather confusing then revert to plan A above and enjoy.

Is it possible to change the settings in AR Properties Advanced tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?

I noticed when I went to print a PDF double sided, that despite the following the guidelines from Adobe on this process, it still printed single sided. I checked the properties of the PDF itself and on the Advanced tab, the DuplexMode was set to Simplex and was greyed out.
Is it possible to change the settings in that tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?
Regards
Sharon

Dear Sara
Thank you for your reply.
I have two printers, both support automatic duplexing. Any PDF we receive
or create we are unable to print double sided on our mac mini¹s. I didn¹t
make it clear in my question that we were fine on Windows XP, but, having
recently changed to Mac have encountered this frustrating problem.
I did a lot of research prior to recording the question and it appears I am
not the only one who has come across this problem, and I have followed the
guidelines that Adobe promote on their website to be able to print double
sided, which doesn¹t work on the mac mini Osx Mavericks.
Because the Properties, Advanced tab has ³Print Dialog Presets² that are set
to simplex and greyed out I took that to mean that no matter what printer
settings I make, and I think I¹ve gone through all that I can, the pdf will
not print double sided on Mac but will on XP.
Sorry this isn¹t the reply you must have been hoping for and look forward to
receiving further advice in regard to this matter.

Sequence Settings Missing General Tab

Hi,
I'm trying to modify the frame size of a project I've started in FCE HD. I've read the manual and several dozen forum threads, and I understand that this is done in the "Sequence settings" window. But my sequence settings window doesn't have a 'General' tab. Is there a place to turn that on?
Thanks much!
h

Ah. Thank you! That helps my brain. A lot of references refer to FCE and FCP interchangably. But you're saying I can at least switch between DV and HD formats. Is that done thru the Load Presets button at the bottom of the Sequence Settings window?

Internet Explorer 10 / 11 Advanced Tab settings not being completely applied

I am trying to enforce settings for the Advanced Tab in IE10 / 11 in our environment. I have one GPO applying these settings, with no other GPOs that are going to interfere. RSOP shows the policy is being applied, and I can even test it by changing
a setting and running a gpupdate /force to have it changed back. The weird thing is, not all of the settings on the advanced tab are being enforced.
Here's a rundown of what I'm doing:
I'm setting up policy in User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Internet Settings
And then I'm creating a new "Internet Explorer 10 properties" thing
Then I'm going into the advanced tab and setting the settings I want and hitting F6 to change them to green as seen in the screenshot below. Please notice the highlighted ones, as these are the ones giving me the problem.
Those two settings are not being enforced. I then noticed that on the Group Policy Management window on the Settings tab, those two settings (amongst a handful of others) aren't even listed even though I clearly have them set in the screenshot above!
Why are these settings missing? It seems a number of them actually aren't here. I realize I can enforce this with registry edits but if the option is in Group Policy then why is it not working? Oh, and the reason it says (Order: 2) is because the settings
being used for "Order: 1" are for IE 8 and 9. There is nothing conflicting between the two either. My main concern here is why are they missing from that screenshot I posted above?

does the editor seem to be writing the settings into the XML? (check in the policy folder on sysvol)
if not present in the XML, then it's maybe a bug in the prefs editor (there have been a lot of bugfixes over time).
check for hotfixes, e.g.:

Downconverting HD to SD: Change Sequence Settings or. Motion Tab ???

I'm working with 1080i DVCPro HD footage, which am editing in HD. The client wants me to deliver the project file with HD and SD sequences (with identical cuts) but SD Quicktime renders.
So the HD sequences are easy ... under Sequence Settings I have these specs, which allow me to edit the footage without having to render:
Frame Size 1280x 1080, Aspect Ratio HD (1280x1080)(16x9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1280x1080) - Ananmorphic NOT checked
Field Dominance: Upper (odd)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: DVCPro HD 1080i60
SO ... the best way to downconvert to SD ... I'm figuring copying the HD sequences after the edits are done, and then changing Sequence Settings to these specs:
Frame Size: 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 DV (720x480) - Anamorphic NOT checked
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: DV/DVCPro NTSC
I'm not delivering Anamorphic; the SD renders will have letterboxing. BUT unless I tweek the footage's Motion settings, it still looks distorted. The footage looks the most normal after shrinking the Scale to 60% of original, and changing the Aspect Ratio to -60.
But I'm just eye-balling things ... is there a precise rule for downconverting this HD format to standard SD ?

Umm well OK I found the Advanced Format Conversion option in Compressor, and am testing that out now.
But for academics, let's just say I want to convert the sequences also ... as in, exporting normal SD Quicktimes directly from FCP's sequence without using compressor ... which Sequence Settings and Motion Settings would I change?

Shooting in 30p vs. 24P vs 24P advanced? / sequence settings

I'm using a Panasonic DVX 100 camera. (i'm new to it) Sorry if these are naïve questions, but I need help.
Not sure what the difference is if I should shoot in 30p/24p/24p advanced?
If I shot in any of the three, do I use different settings when I import?
Also, how do I set the sequence settings for the best results?
I appreciate your guidance...

Whether you shoot in 30p or 24p depends on what your style of filming. Hands down 24p is going to look the most like modern day cinema, but you need to make sure there is plenty of light, and also watch a bunch of movement. Basically you are looking at the difference between packing 24 frames in a second, or 30 frames in a second. Most of the time, so long as you aren't doing massive pans you will be fine with 24p. For me, I do a bunch of shoulder mounted filming, so I use 30p to make sure I don't get any "slideshow" effects if I decide to slow it down or maybe pan across the horizon. If you film in 24p, you want to capture in 24p. You can do an easy setup for HDV 1080p 24 or 720p 24 depending on what reso you are filming at.
Usually the question comes between 24p and 60i. If you are ever going to have a bunch of movement, or intend on doing slow motion at all, 60i is a much better result. You can always color the film later to get a cinematic effect. Hope this is helpful. (and true..)

FCP sequence settings when shooting 24p, 2:3:3:2 at 16x9?

I'm attempting to edit my first feature project on FCP after having shot footage on a canon xl2 at 24p, 2:3:3:2 and using the 16:9 frame size.
Can't find specifics about the proper FCP settings anywhere in the manual for editing footage shot this way. So I'm wondering-- since the captured footage shows up in the browser as 720x480, should the sequence setting be dialed in the same? Also should I be editing in the timeline with sequence settings at NTSC DV (3:2)and the anamorphic 16:9 box checked?
Oh... and one more thing-- how much memory would you guys recommend be allocated to the fcp application (i'm guessing less than 100%)and how much to the thumbnails?
I've got my notions on all this but am a little nervous about going forward without some reassurance. Appreciate any help you can offer on these questions.

You're best off creating a new, custom Easy Setup to meet your needs...
Press Option-Command-Q to launch the Audio/Video Settings dialog
Select the Sequence Presets tab, then...
Click DV-NTSC 48 kHz - 23.98 and press Duplicate
In the Sequence Preset Editor, check the Anamorphic 16:9 box
Rename this Sequence Preset to DV-NTSC 48 kHz - 23.98 Anamorphic and click OK
Back in the Sequence Settings tab, place a checkmark next to your newly created sequence preset to select it as your current preset
Select the Capture Presets tab, and repeat the previous sub-steps for DV-NTSC 48 kHz Advanced Pulldown Removal
(that is, duplicate, adjust for Anamorphic, rename, then select as your preset)
Select the Summary tab and confirm that you've got the correct presets for all selections - outside of what you've adjusted already, Device Control as well as Video Playback should be set to FireWire NTSC - then click the Create Easy Setup button
Enter a name and description, then click OK
After you've saved your preset, click OK to exit Audio/Video Settings
You've now got your system up and running correctly so that you can digitize and edit.
If, for any reason, you screw up your settings, you've now got an Easy Setup that you can simply access at anytime, simple press Control-Q and select it from the options. Or if you're a menubar person, that's Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup.
Oh... and one more thing-- how much memory would you guys recommend be allocated to the fcp application (i'm guessing less than 100%)and how much to the thumbnails?
Personally, I leave mine at 100% - never had a problem with it. However, many here advise dialing it down to 70% or so (if I can remember correctly - hopefully someone else will chime in if I'm wrong).
The default thumbnail value is fine as well, in my experience.

*** 16:9 NTSC DV sequence settings?

I have HDV footage that I'd like to drop into a SD sequence in order to render it out and create a DVD.
What do I set the sequence settings to in order to create a 16:9 SD sequence? Do I click anamorphic? What dimmensions do I put in (i.e. 720x480 for 4:3, what is it for 16:9)?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Big,
The best way for you to do this is to go under the FCp tab at the top of the app and select the "Easy Set-up" option. Under that option on the top right it will say "Show all" select that and you will get a drop down of all FCP quick set ups. If you have already captured the footage and used the camera to convert HDV to DV and you want the 16:9 look you can use the DV-NTSC 4:3 and add a widescreen matte.
If the footage is 16:9 than in that easy setup select Anamorphic NTSC and that will set everything up for you in FCP.
Cheers

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...

Help please with capture / sequence settings for DVCAM PAL 16:9

Simple question but I'm baffled by choices for capture/sequence using FCP6 to capture 16:9 PAL DVCAM. Have tried esay set up (not enough options) and also sequence and capture settings manually too many options ) and always seem to end up with borders top and bottom, not full viewer / canvas at correct aspect ratio. Can someone tell me correct settings. I'm baffled by inclusion of 5:4 aspect ratio and whether in the compression box under advanced settings in the sequence settings bow I should select 4:3 or 16:9 and in the seq. settings box itself whether I should check anamorphic 16:9.In audio/video settings (summary tab) there's also a question about playback settings which is set to '(missing) apple firewire pal 720x568'. What's that about. Any assistance much appreciated.

Don't over think it. There's no reason why you should have to modify a capture preset in your situation. Use the easy setup for DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (assuming your footage is anamorphic and not letterboxed). If you're seeing gray bars at the top and bottom of the canvas, hit ctrl-U to have the windows automatically adjusted to the right size. If you're seeing black bars, then your footage is probably letterboxed. You should use the regular DV PAL easy setup to capture that. If the Video Playback device is set to (missing) it's because your deck or camera is not turned on, or isn't connected to the computer.

Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 Sequence Settings - Importing from a Canon XL2

Under Sequence Settings and the Advanced tab, should I leave the Compressor Quality tab at HIGH or BEST? I have heard that it's best to keep it at High but I just wanted to make sure of it. Also, since the Canon XL2 is a progressive scan camera (right?) should I lave the Scan Mode to INTERLACED or PROGRESSIVE and should I leave the Aspect Ratio to 4:3 even though I am shooting in 16:9? Thanks so much for your help.

You recorded DV/NTSC 16:9 Anamorphic (or DV/PAL depending on where you live)
That's what your Easy preset settings should be.
And no, the camera does not record progressive. It records 29.97 interlaced - like all DV cams recording to tape do. If the setting said 24fps, the camera inserted pull down in the 29.97 image stream. Unless you need to go back to film, simply edit the material in a 29.97 timeline.

CS6 New Sequence Settings - MBD & MRQ Help

Does it make a difference whether or not I set the MBD & MRQ in the New Sequence > Settings Tab or in the Export Dialog Box?
Do these same settings in the New Sequence > Settings also determine how Adobe handles video previews?
Currently I use AVCHD footage. Do I increase my color bit depth while working in my Timeline? If so, to what?
I was under the impression that whenever I import media into Premiere Pro it automatically up-samples media to 4:4:4 and 32 bit float color. Is this incorrect until I activate MBD & MRQ in the New Sequence > Settings Tab?
Any help would be greatly apprecated.
Thanks in advance

>I was under the impression that only RGB color space was expressed as 8bit, 10bit, 16bit and 32bit floating point.
There are pixel modes for 8,16 integer + 32bit float for both RGB and YUV.
>YUV is actually the only one expressed in chroma subsampling numbers as 4:4:4 etc. RGB has three distinct color channels expressed in bits per channel (Red, Green, Blue) while YUV has three different components which consist of lumanance and two chromanance. Big difference between both. In all actuallity it really should be expressed as Y'CbCr. YUV is actually an analog system.
correct. there is no reason to put "4444" after RGBA.
here are most of the pixel formats supported by Premiere...
PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_8u is the standard format Premiere always used.
PrPixelFormat_ARGB_4444_8u is what After Effects used
MaxBitDepth converts to, and uses,

     PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_32f
For YUV:

Cannot enter URL or use advanced tab when creating a (local) testing server

Hi,
I have created a site in Dreamweaver and I have tried creating a testing server. However everytime I try to create a test server Dreamweaver does not allow me to enter the Web URL in the server window. I knnow its local (localhost) but it seems it should still need a URL - http://localhost/...
It allows me put in the name of the server the connection type - Local/Network and allows me to browse to the server folder and select it but does not allow me to put any data in to Web URL: field.
Additionally, it does not allow me to select the Advanced tab to specify my Server Model - PHP MySQL.
When I click save with these settings I can see all the necessary files and folders in the Dreameaver Testing Server window but when I go to create a database connection I get an error saying "The URL prefix http:// for this site's testing server could not be resolved" - on hitting the Select button to select the database.
I am running WAMP (in Windows 7) and I can see the database in phpMyAdmin. I know the username and password are correct.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks

Does this help?
