Sequence settings and export help please

It's been awhile since I've made a movie for dvd, and the last time was in PAL, so my settings are changed.
Now I'm making an NTSC dvd (Best quality possible) for a local historical group, and can't remember the settings!!
Using FCP 5
A Canon Elura 80 videocam, not HD, just ordinary DV.
I captured the video in iMovie and imported into FCP
Created 2 movies: one 4:3, and one 16:9 (filmed it in this format)
1. What 'export movie' settings do I need? Should I export as a QT movie, use DV Stream, or ?
I want to use iDVD to make the dvd, and I'd like it the best quality possible
2. Also, my 'sequence presets' seem different. They're Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1280x720 30p 48 kHz. IS this what they should be?
(And I'm far from being a pro,, I just like to have better control than iMovie gives me; i'ld just like to set my settings and leave them for everything i do .... or at least know what they all mean so I can make a decision which to use
Thank you
Elizabeth

I captured the video in iMovie and imported into FCP
Bad step there ... you should capture in the NLE you plan to use for editing. FWIW, iMovie captures DV different than FCE or FCP. You my have lost so quality there, but it depends on which version of iMovie you used.
1. What 'export movie' settings do I need? Should I export as a QT movie, use DV Stream, or ?
File->Export->QuickTime Movie. Do NOT recompress all frames, but do include chapter markers (if needed). You can make the movie self-contained or not. Drop the resulting file into iDVD.
2. Also, my 'sequence presets' seem different. They're Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1280x720 30p 48 kHz. IS this what they should be?
No, not if you shot and captured DV.

  • Aspect ratio and exporting help, PLEASE!

    I've been given a project that was shot on DVCPro HD tapes. The footage was already loaded onto a drive for me. When I bring the clips into FCP, they are 1920x1080 and appear squished in the viewer and canvas. If I click "anamorphic" in the sequence settings, the footage no longer looks stretched.
    Great. Now, I need to export the footage to QTs that are a random 620x349, and the client doesn't want the images letterboxed or with bars on the side... they'd prefer that I just crop the images to that aspect ratio. It's for the web.
    How can I do this? Everytime I export, I'm getting bars on the sides or a squished image. Thanks for your advice!

    That's DEFINITELY not DVCPro HD settings are you SURE they match the clips? AND 1920x1080 is NOT anamorphic.
    Also, how are you getting letterbox? Your sequence settings are 16:9 - not letterboxed.

  • How do I match a clip to sequence settings and sequence presets?

    I'm getting the warning: Attention - This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any or our sequence presets.
    I'm trying to figure out how to set things up in Compressor so that my clips do match my sequence settings and presets. The issue seems to be with the audio not matching.
    Here are the sequence settings:
    Audio-2 Outputs
    Frame Size- 1920x1080
    Vid Rate-24fps
    Compressor-Apple ProRes 422 (proxy)
    Aud Rate 48.0 KHz
    Aud Format 32-bit floating Point
    I shot all the footage with a Canon 5D Mark II. I'm using Compressor to convert all my original clips. The only thing I don't seem to be able to match is the Audio. I can't find any way in Compressor to encode clips that have "two outputs" in the Audio column.
    The dialogue box for "Sound Settings" in Compressor doesn't offer any sort of options, that I can find anyway, to generate clips with "two outputs."

    These are the Compressor settings:

  • Help with correct sequence settings for exporting QT

    hi -- I am about to export a QT movie of a sequence in FCP. There are three different properties of clips in the sequence -- footage I shot on a Panasonic HD HMC150 was compressed with Apple ProRes422 and footage I shot on the JVCHD - can't remember model - uses the 720p24 codec. All other properties for these clips are the same.
    I also use some archival footage in the sequence was shot at 29.97 fps, 720x480, compressed using the DV/DVCPro NTSC and a different pixel aspect.
    I also use jpegs.
    Here's the question. The Sequence Settings are HDV 720p24. Do I need to change the properties for the clips that don't match the Sequence Settings BEFORE I export a QT File? Or, do I export a QT file then import it back into FCP at the 720p24 setting and export that sequence as a QT file.
    Thanks

    ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
    The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
    Sequence Settings:

    The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
    I made stills from the same frames in the different sequences to show the difference between them. Unfortunately, I can't attach these images in the forum.
    So here's the sequence settings as of now for both the original and current sequences:
    Easy Setup:
    Format - HD
    Codec - HDV 720p24
    23.98 fps
    1280x720
    Sequence Settings:
    1280x720
    Aspect Ratio - hdtv 720p 16:9
    pixel: square
    compressor appleprores 422
    Field Dominance - none
    editing timebase: 23.98
    Render Codec - same as sequence codec
    Clip Codecs:
    Primarily HDV 720p24
    Some Apple ProRes 422
    Archival Footage - Dv/DVCPRO NTSC
    Okay, now here's where things start getting hairy. I read in the FCP manual today that I should convert the sequence setting to the same codec as the majority of the clips -- in this case that was 720p24. So I changed the sequence codec from AppleProRes 422 to 720p24. Then I rendered the sequence before exporting it as a QT file. -- not noticing until after I burned a DVD about the image size problem.
    Now, this evening, while I was checking the settings of the older original sequences -- trying to figure out what went wrong -- I realized that the original sequence used the AppleProRes 422 codec!! So, I converted my current sequence from the 720p24 codec BACK to Apple ProRes 422 - hoping this might solve my larger image problem -- BUT the image size stayed the same. Am I just compressing over and over again and screwing up my sequences.
    The weird thing is that MOST of the sequence copies that are not the original -- converted to the changed codec even though I had only the sequence I was changing open ---- there must be a reason for all this. I hope you all can figure it out for me. I've been spending hours at it.
    Thanks again.

  • Help with 24p capture/sequence settings and interlace artifacts

    We are trying to capture sd video shot on a panasonic DVX 100B at 24p (not advanced) using FCP 6.02.
    The video was shot anamorphic (squeeze) through the camera.
    We have tried a variety of capture and sequence setting and continue to get varying degrees of artifact (lines) at motion points (e.g. when a hand moves).
    We have tried:
    Capture Easy set-up 29.97
    Capture Anamorphic 29.97
    We have tried changing field dominance to none.
    We have experimented with both interlace and progressive scan.
    We have experimented with different playback units including the camera shot with.
    Would love some advice on best capture sequence settings. Playback will be computer/video projector.

    It's sounds like you've been mislead about what 24p (as opposed to 24p Advanced) actually is on tape - it's interlaced 29.97 footage. So, what you're seeing is normal - there should be three progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced frames (since it's pulldown added to 23.98 material).
    So, to get to the heart of your question, you are capturing correctly - Anamorphic 29.97.
    If you want true progressive output, strip the pulldown - use Cinema Tools - and edit as 23.98. Otherwise, if you can't go 23.98, you're stuck with what you've got.

  • Sequence Settings, HD Export problems.

    1. I'm importing a perfectly good quality Quicktime Movie segment of about
    150 MB
    1344x840
    H.264 codec
    Duration 00'55
    ...in which it's perfectly easy to read small print in the movie. The source audio/video comes from the game World of Warcraft, and has to be processed in Quicktime Player Pro first in order for FCE to recognize and be able to import the file.
    2. I'm being forced to render a lot to see the effect of any of my editing, this may be due to the input does not match anything in the Sequence Settings - which I have mostly only tried
    HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30
    HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
    HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    ...I have no idea which ones I should be using, or if I should be using one of the confusing numbers of DV-PAL or DV-NTSC sequence settings. Since the video is closest to the 1280x720 of the 720p30 I've been using that.
    3. End problem is that no matter what I do to the export settings, - I've spent about ten hours now trying different export formats - I always seem to lose a lot of quality in the process. The small text is not readable. The quality loss is simply too much for me to want to present the final product to anyone.
    I'm currently trying to fiddle with export settings in QTP in order to hopefully evade having to do so much rendering in FCE, but so far no success. Any help would be much appreciated, as this has bothered me for a long time now, and may be enough cause for me to give up on FCE altogether.

    Try this free third party app:
    http://www.squared5.com/
    You have to decide which format you want to work with in FCE and use that Easy Setup. Read the details when you are at the Easy Setup window, each are different to suit incoming audio and video.
    Then use Streamclip to convert your original footage to conform to your chosen Easy Setup, audio rate and video size.

  • 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,
    For RGB:
         PrPixelFormat_BGRA_4444_32f
    For YUV:

  • Sequence Settings and Aspect Ratios

    This may be a bit of dumbo pondering but I've got a couple questions:
    My HV20 camera has a DV 16:9 setting. I always use the HD setting. But if I captured such footage, what Sequence Settings would one use? If DV Anamorphic, doesn't that stretch things out? So maybe a Custom choice in Frame Setting of 640x360?
    What is the reasoning for the DV Anamorphic Seq Setting to use the 3:2 Aspect Ratio (default) over the 4:3? Isn't the 3:2 converted to 4:3 when exported to dv tape, etc? But what about for internet, would 4:3 Ratio Aspect in Anamorphic (for eventually 640x360 internet movies) be a good choice?
    But would that only be appropriate for Internet and if I had any hopes of other uses would 3:2 still be wisest?
    What got me thinking (if you can call it that) was that I placed an animation from Archive.org in a DV Ana 3:2 Sequence. To fill the screen, Scale had to be 113, Clip Aspect Ratio: 13. Then I changed the settings to 4:3 aspect ratio and the clip fit perfectly (Scale: 100, Clip Aspect Ratio: 0).
    So why not use a non-Anamorphic Seq Setting with a custom 16x9 Frame Size of 640x360?
    Maybe I'm thinking too much...or not thinking at all.

    DV Anamorphic
    If DV Anamorphic, doesn't that stretch things out?
    Yes ... DV 16:9 is recorded squished into a 4:3 frame so it needs to be stretched back out to 16:9 to display accurately
    So maybe a Custom choice in Frame Setting of 640x360?
    No, just use the DV Anamorphic Easy Setup

  • After effects and photoshop ,,,help please

    hi all
    can anybody help please.
    ive been making a short film with my son and putting some basic effects in, just for a laugh.
    i noticed an effect on ADOBE TV that was done by Gareth Edwards in his movie MONSTERS which i thought would be good to try out in my film but i carnt get it right,,
    here is the link to that effect...            http://tv.adobe.com/watch/customer-stories-video-film-and-audio/monsters/
    its the effect where he changes the menu board in a cafe to one of his infected area signs, he allso changes a few other signs.
    in the video he say that he exports a still frame from after effects into photoshop and puts on his image {with a few tweaks her and there}, when hes got it ok in photoshop ,it some how updates in after effects??
    can any please help ,thank you

    It's a simplified explanation of the process.  He left out explanations of motion tracking and perspective matching that were most certainly required for the shot being discussed.
    If you are doing the same process to a static, locked off shot, with no foreground objects passing in front of your sign, it would be very possible to create a single frame in Photoshop and just layer it over your scene in AE.  But once the camera moves, you will need to understand Motion Tracking.  If objects pass in front of the replaced component, you will need to understand Masking.

  • Mail and password: Help please!!!

    I have changed my password and on my iPhone and iPad there is no problem. However, on my iMac, 10.8.2 every time I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up again Mail tells me to verify my password. I press OK but it refuses to accept and I am forced to go to System Preferences, then mail where I press OK for the same password and the whole thing then works.
    In Yahoo it works perfectly!
    What is happening in Mail. I have deleted the account in preferences and set it up again but all to no avail.
    Help please!!!

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • FCP 6 Sequence Settings and RT playback problem

    Hi everyone
    Have recently bought a copy of Final Cut Pro Studio for my macbook pro
    I know to play video in FCP in real time all the sequence settings need to match the captured video/file settings of the clip.
    All my settings are matching, Ive tripple checked them but they are STILL saying I need to render the clip before playback in SafeRT.
    Have tried deleating files and re-importing them ect still no go.
    The file ive imported is a DVCPRO HD codec.
    I cant render everytime I want to play a video - thats not an option. It should be okay if all the settings match (Which I belive they do) but still not working.... is there a vital setting I may have missed?
    Im running FCP 6 on a
    Mackbook pro 17"
    5400 rpm sata drive
    NIVIDIA 8600 geforce 256MB graphics card
    160GB hard drive
    2.0 MB Memory
    this prob is SO WEIRD
    cheers
    h

    Yeah tried doing that, plays okay but really want to get the safeRT working properly
    wow - i didnt realize that the 5400rpm drive in the macbook pro would preform so poorley with compressed codecs such as DVCPRO which is a pretyt standard codec yes?
    I guess the 7200rpm drive now is def the way to go - i was getting one anyway
    so does it matter that the computer drive speed is 5400rpm when working of a 7200 rpm firewire 800port drive? I assume that if all the media is on the 7200rpm the computer internal drive would only be running the program, which would be more then enough do you agree?
    Its looks as if FCP 6 has some way of recognising the computer drive speed for accessing the media and determining whether it is fast enough or not, if not, wont even try to attempt to play in RT resulting in the red render line, no matter if I have my sequences settings all set up correctly and matching. This is something that I am unclear about in the software.

  • HT6150 Single press of Power Button does not put my MacBook Pro to sleep after this update! Do I need to change anything in the settings? Any help please? Thank you!

    The title says it all! After installing the new Mavericks update, I cannot put my MacBook Pro to sleep after a single press of the Power Button like before. Does it have something to do with this update or my MacBook Pro? Or do I have to change something in Settings?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    But remember that there are others.
    A moment is a medieval unit of time equal to 1.5 minutes or 1/40 of an hour. This reckoning is derived from the work of Bartholomeus Anglicus, writing in 1240 that each hour was divided into four points, each point into ten moments, each moment into twelve ounces, and each ounce into 47 atoms.
    In modern English it usually refers to "a short period of time",[2] the exact length remaining ambiguous.
