Stretching to 16:9

Hi, I shot a movie in 16:9 but it all got ripped to 4:9 so the footage is vertically stretched. Is there any way to stretch it horizontally to fit a 16:9 format? If not with iMovie, is there a way to stretch the .mov file with another program?

I had a similar problem and am awaiting a reply... it was weird but one clip less than 1 minute same settings imported as 16:9 while a 6 minute clip imported as 4:3... I deleted and tried again after checking it was 16:9 and the second import was 4:3... so i wish I knew.

Loops not stretching to match tempo

I moved my loops to an external drive and then remapped them but now when I drag one into my arrange window it will not match the tempo. I also can't stretch it manually. I'm sure I did this before and I'm having trouble finding information about it both in the manual and online. How do I do this?

aha, thanks! I notice though that it does not always snap to the grid even though the time does change. Is there a way to do this manually?

I am attempting to plug my mac into my tv. I am using the mini dvi to s video adapter. When I plug it in, the display goes all wonky and becomes stretched and enlarged.

When I attempt to connect my mac to the monitor using a mini dvi to s video adapter the display becomes enlarged and stretched. I cannot seem to fix this using the system preferences or the quick keys that allow you to zoom in on the display. Any suggestions?

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

How do i use the stretching tool in soundtrack pro

i have a split track song with muitiple track.got them all loaded in soundtrack pro,when i play the track there are i lot of skips please help big project for fathers day

O.K. so do you need to slow down the music, or speed it up? That's what the stretching tool is for, like in a video scene where the music slows to the tempo the actors are speaking. To use it; you must have an audio file: export multiple tracks by selecting them and choosing Export from the file menu. If you're trying to interlace audio then you should export each track individually and paste them together in an audio file. Next select the audio you want to change then drag the parameters of the selected music: either forwards to delay, or backwards to speed up, just like changing the crop of a photo. Be aware that you can drastically change the audio, trial and error works best, just use Edit>undo till you get it. Also try removing some clicks and pops in analysis.

Text does not appear stretched in the output

Hi,
I have a requirement to show data as stretched text in the rtf output. I tried it by electing the data field in the rtf template and changed the spacing to 3 point in font tab. But when I preview it, the text appears normal.
Is there something which I am missing? Is stretch text supported in BI templates or not?
Thanks.

How to turn off the Stretch Alignment feature?

Hi, I am just learning how to use the text formatting options and have been experimenting but for some reason any new text box I create now and type something, the Stretch Alignment is on and stretching everything I type. How do I turn that off?
Thanks!

There is no "stretch alignment" option for text, so I'll assume you mean either justified alignment or horizontal scaling.
If you're getting big gaps between words, change your alilgnment from "Justified" to "Left"
If letters themselves are getting stretched, make sure horizontal alignment is set to 100% and nothing higher.
If these are both set correctly and the words themsleves are getting stretched, you may have scaled the text block itself using the Scale tool. Easiest thing to do is delete the text block and add the text into a newly created text block.
Avoid scaling any text blocks with the Scale tools as this will also distort the text. If you just need to make the text block larger or smaller, use the Pointer tool, and drag any one of the four control points of the selected text object.

Stretching image to snap to preestablished paths or guides.

Hi, everyone.
I have an important task at hand and don't know how to do it in Photoshop. I hope my explanation will make sense. Here is my situation:
I have an existing image that I must stretch (using whatever tools are best for this) so that this image assumes the shape or contour of some pre-existing guides I will scan into Photoshop. Just imagine, for the sake of simplicity, that I have an image with 6 circles. The circles are orange inside and red outside. This image has been brought into Photoshop with a digital camera. I also have oval or elliptical contours on a printed book that I must scan and convert to a path or guides. The oval or elliptical contours are also 6 in number and laid side by side just like the circles. Here are the questions I have:
1. What is the best way to bring these elliptical shapes into Photoshop ? How can I transform them into guides or paths so that I can stretch the circles and have them snap to the elliptical guides to match their shape ?
2. Can an image snap to a guide located on a separate layer ? In other words, if I place the scanned elliptical shapes on a different layer, will I be able to stretch the circles so that they snap to these elliptical guides ?
3. As I stretch the circles to transform them into ellipses I need the transition from borders between the circles (orange) and background (red) to maintain their appearance (the transition is a somewhat smooth graduation and not a harsh one. What is the best tool for this job ?
4. I need the elliptical shapes to be connected but also individually manipulated. In other words, if necessary I need to be able to scale all elliptical shapes together so each maintains its proportion to all others. However, I also need to be able to scale individual ellipses while others adjust. In case I increase the width of ellipse 2 I need ellipse 1 and 3 to decreased their widths to accommodate this change. I hope this makes sense.
I would appreciate it if you could share your experience and suggest what you think is the best way to address this task.
Thank you in advance,
Joe.

Instead of trying to crop and use the Ken Burn's effect. Have you tried to choose the "Fit" option? Or you can try this option will might allow you to export it out as a "landscape" image which hopefully will be what you're looking for.
Click the crop button and then click the button that says “Allow Black.” Now you can adjust the size and position of the green box to choose the new dimensions of your video.
To finish up, choose Export movie. HD 720p (1280 x 720) will preserve the original quality as much as possible. If that works, you can try to re import the video back into iMovie and see if that solves the problem. Hopefully that works.
Phone images can suck some times.

Time stretch audio file to match tempo of track

Hi everyone, I am a new user of Logic express, and have found the info on this site extremely helpful, in conjunction with SFlogicninja's tutorials on youtube.
However, after watching a recent tutorial on Time stretching audio, i am now completely confused. Similar to the tutorial, i am trying to fit an audio region(an acapella track) to the tempo of the project. I have beat mapped the region to establish a tempo, but would like to experiment with slowing down or speeding up the track as a whole. As the acapella was created outside of Logic, i am bouncing the acapella track in order to be able to 'follow tempo'(as shown in the inspector). I have disabled the 'normalize' checkbox and bounced, but the bounced track still does not have the 'follow tempo' option in the inspector.
Any ideas as to why my bounced files cannot follow tempo. I can do it with audio that i create in Logic, but if i import any files, i was under the impression that by bouncing it within Logic, i could still obtain the same results?
I'm running out of hair to pull out!

Yep (but you will probably still need one called "Logic Pro" to get Software Update to see it)
I have mine setup to quickly switch from 32bit to 64 bit (2 copies with different names) and also previous versions.... works fine

Problem with "stretching" when using report generation vi's to print fron panel.

I am using LabVIEW 6.0.1 and when I use the "Append Front Panel Image to Report" vi to print my fron panel, the result is an elongated (stretched)version of my front panel that runs off the page and doesn't show some of the content. Does anyone know why this happens?

Hello,
I have never heard of this problem before. My first suggestion for you is to install the LabVIEW 6.0.2 update, as there were some fixes included in this update regarding printing from LabVIEW. Also, have you tried printing the report to a different printer, to see if the problem is inherent to the subVI or inherent to your printer?
If you are continuing to have any problems, please let me know, and if possible, attach an example VI to your reply that demonstrates the behavior so I can reproduce it.
Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.

How can I stretch an avi back to normal size?

I had made an avi file on my Windows computer and I opened it with Quicktime player. Quicktime spent some time converting it, but when the result came out the clip was kind of squashed like this:
I'm trying to figure out how to stretch it back to normal size, but for now I'm stuck with this. I was able to view it at normal size with another application as well, but that application wouldn't let me export the file. Converting the avi to an mov with SmartConverter didn't help either, as Quicktime said that the file had an invalid extension of some sort.

Get rid of the warnings prior to stretching audio in Arrange

Does anyone know how to get rid of the warnings prior to stretching audio in Arrange?
In the demonstration here on Apples own website, workflow is sped up by the fact that you don't have to hit ok twice before the edit is executed. I have tried to disable warnings etc, but it still does it.
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/
Incidently, I clearing popup warnings using the V-Pots on the Mackie Control doesn't work anymore either. Can anyone confirm this?
This appears to be yet another newly introduced controller bug... Don't even get me started on trying to use a Frontier Tranzport with version 8.

No, the inly option is to uncheck 'Warning before processing function by key command', which doesn't change the situation.
Have you actually done this?

Time stretching when copying and pasting between projects

I have had 18 separate instrument tracks of a live gig recorded in pro tools, so I simply imported the audio files into logic. I am also using the audio from a video camera to capture the reverb of the hall. The problem is that the audio files are 3 hours long and I would like to mix each song separately. To do this I would like to have a project for each song.
So I have cut the files up into their respective songs, the problem comes when I try and copy the tracks into a new project. The audio files get stretched making the tuning and tempo lower. I have tried copying and pasting as well as dragging the files over to the new project one at a time. I have also checked that the sample rates are the same, which they are.
Does anyone know why logic would be doing this? Are there any fixes you can recommend?
Thanks,
Dave

The sample rates of the files may be the same, while those of the projects may not.
Really, if it's slower and lower, by just about a semitone, then you're definitely playing a 48kHz file in a 44.1kHz project.

Looking for a time-stretching app

Can you guys recommend your favourite time-stretching app? I'd like to find an easier way of lining up transients to beats, for example.
Thanks,
Shaun

Logic Pro 8 is also the application to use for time-stretching though!
See page 525 *Time Stretching Regions* in the *Logic Pro 8 User Manual*.

I know the marquee tool, but I don't see how it can be used to time stretch ?
However, from your original post, now I'm thinking you don't really mean simple time stretching, but you mean doing something more like quantizing audio. Actually, I do use the transient capabilities of the marquee tool to find note beginnings and then move them to a bar location, which actually is a form of audio quantization.
However, Logic also has an audio quantize feature.
Check page 517 of the *Logic Pro 8 User Manual*. I have used this with varying amounts of success.
If you own Ableton Live, it has a better method (IMHO) for quantizing audio by doing something they call "warp markers". With Live, you simply place a warp marker on each transient (note start) that you wish to move, and then move it to the desired bar location. Live then time stretches your audio to match. Because it requires you to select these places, it is more seamless and has less artifacts than the algorithmic method in Logic. Still, if I only need to move a few note beginnings, I prefer to just stay in Logic and do it with the marquee tool.

Audition 1.5 has problem playing back MT session if I have a ton of stretched clips

I might be doing something AA is not designed to do, I don't know. Perhaps (I wish) there are a lot easier ways of doing this, but I have a band that recorded, with a song that has 8 vocal tracks, singing as a group. However, they don't all start every word/phrase exactly at the same time, but should - therefore I use the clip stretching abilities in MT to cut the track up each place it's off and stretch it to fit. Normally I don't need to stretch it much at all, but after that tedious job is done the overall project sounds a lot better.
However, now I have this session that has maybe 150 stretched clips (pretty crazy, huh?) and it takes about 30 minutes or more to open. Problem is, now it won't play back decently for some reason; certain tracks sound like a bunch of garble and warble - nothing that can be made out. I do not know if all the stretched clips have anything to do with it. The wave files appear the same as before - example, you can see where a louder portion of audio is but it is nothing synced with what I hear on the speakers.
I should also mention that I had an under-rated computer run AA one time and the same thing happened there so I thought it just got tired and so I restarted AA and it worked fine after that. Here I also restarted AA but the problem is not better - worse if anything.
Some tracks play fine, others don't. Another thing of interest is that I have only stretched the vocal tracks; by far the worse garble is on the instrument tracks; they even play back as quirks and garble in Edit View if I go there.
Anyone have any solution why this happens? Am I over doing AA in some way?
Also, is there a more automated way of matching and syncing vocals? I'm talking about them being .1 - .01 seconds off the beat; is there some way AA will automatically stretch clips to match beats with - say - the beat markers?

I am not surprised at all by your reply!
I would do that, soon as I'm done with stretching/timing adjustment; thing was I was still 10 seconds from the end when it started acting up. But Just as a safe precaution in case it would do something like that I had already backed up a couple of times so thankfully I don't need to do it all over again!
So, you don't think that "set beat markers" (or something like that) can be locked to beats in MT? For example if I run the "Find and Mark" beats in EV and then use those beats to snap to the closest beat in MT, stretching the file as need be in order to get it there.. ? Maybe I'm dreaming out of this world.. Next time I'll have to force my clients to sing until they sing it dead on right!
Thanks for your response!
