Syncing clips with different video sizes

I'm trying to sync some SD footage with some HD footage, but the problem I'm having is the synced compound clip it creates becomes a 480p dimension, cropping my HD footage. Is there a  way I can designate the new compound clip to be 720 or 1080p and just have the SD footage standard height within that compound clip?

Select your synchronized clip in the event browser. Go to  the Inspector and click the "info" tab.
Now click the button at the bottom right of the inspector and choose "Edit compound clip settings". You can change the size of the compound clip.

  • Multi-clip with different video codecs. Can it be done?

    Is it possible to create a multi-clip when using different video codec (i.e. HDV 1080i50 & HDV 1080p25)?
    Thanks.

    Nope. Convert one to match the other using Compressor. Or better yet, convert them both to matching ProRes 422 files.

  • Multi-clipping with different frame sizes

    I have two video clips that I would like to merge into a multiclip. Unfortunately, they have two different formats. One is an Apple ProRes 422 (1024x768), while the other one is a PAL 720x576.
    As far as I know, there's no way of making a multiclip out of the two, so I'm trying to compress the ProRes into a PAL 720x576, but the result is just awful. Considering the ProRes 422 is a screen capture, any suggestion on how to obtain a high quality multiclip out of the two original tracks?
    I'm using Compressor and Final Cut Pro 7.

    Let's do the math…
    Your ProRes contains a bit less than 800,000 pixels per frame while your PAL is only about 400,000; one of every two of your original pixels is being thrown away or smooshed into the PAL format so, yes, I imagine it looks pretty bad. You can, of course, scale up the PAL but then you are merely doubling the size of every pixel, you are ot adding any new detail or resolution.
    Decisions like this are  made by carefully assessing the output requirements, not the editing setup. How will you display the final piece? If you have HD playback resources and needs, you must scale the PAL up If you are going to standard def of DVD, then both of your sources are going to get smooshed into obscurity.
    If you have the ability to maintain the highest rez, you can bring your 768 footage into a 576 sequence and, without scaling it so the video is cropped, move it around in sync with your soundtrack so the important part of the screen capture is visible. Export at 576. You will also need a full screen version to handle cutaways.
    However, just my opinion, using multiclip for  two inputs is way overkill. Easier to just edit conventionally with two tracks and a razor blade.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • Combining clips with different properties

    Hello
    If you have mixed-property clips on the timeline and wish to combine them into one MPEG movie to be viewed on the PC before being burnt to a DVD, which Presets and Export Settings would produce the best quality results?
    I am thinking of clip A with the following attributes (screenshot Clip_A)
    and clip B with its own attributes (screenshot Clip_B),
    but there may be more than two clips. Perhaps a third MP4 clip has PAL properties with different frame sizes to the clips above?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hello John
    Thank you for your post.
    I think I know what you mean: a thick black frame around the clip?
    Can I ask: is AVCHD the 'heaviest' (best quality) type of file compared to the others? The alternatives I can see are: Publish+Share | Computer | Flash (or MPEG, or AVCHD, or AVI, or Windows, or Quick Time).
    Thanks again!

  • How to create a report with different page sizes

    Hi,
    I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
    When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
    Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Marc,
    You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach.  This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.

    Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
    Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"

    IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)

  • Creating a document with different page sizes.

    I'm trying to produce a leaflet with different pages sizes. To try and explain what I mean I have included a picture of what I'd like the front cover to look like. When producing a booklet there doesn't seem to be a provision to individually alter each page size in the pages or document set up panel. Is there anyway around this or do I have to create each page seperately, export to pdf and then combine into the leaflet? Help gratefully received. tomas

    The build booklet feature is for very basic booklets, not something like this.
    Sorry, but you’ll need to make everything full size and then do the cutting.

  • Creation of PDF with different page sizes

    I am generating PDF using Acrobat Distiller from my application from the .ps file. From one machine, the PDF is generated with different page sizes.one page with 8.5*12.99 and other pages with 8.5*11 in the same PDF. However the PDF is created with correct page sizes for all the pages in another machine. The only difference between the machines is the Internet Explorer version. I am using Internet explorere 11.0 and the other machine have a version of 8.0 installed.
    Why the difference in page size occured? Is there any dependency on the Internet explorer used while creating the PDF using Distiller? Any help for the issue with the discrepancy in the page sizes is really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Acrobat Distiller uses the page size in the PS file. May be a problem of your application which create the PS file.

  • Tablespace creation with different block size

    OS - rhel 4.3
    kernel - 2.6.9
    Oracle - 10.2
    Hardware - IBM X series 346.
    Defined block size for the db - 8kb.
    Question: Can I create a tablespace with 16k?
    regards,
    Lily

    You can create a tablespace with 16k blocks if, as Daljit suggests, you create a 16k block buffer cache.
    I would, however, ask why you would want to create such a tablespace? The ability to have tablespaces with different block sizes in a single database was created primarily to allow the use of transportable tablespaces in situations where different databases had different block sizes. If you are trying to create a 16k block size for a different reason, there are a couple of things to be aware of
    - While there are theories out there that tablespaces with different block sizes can have dramatic effects on performance, I've never seen any solid evidence that backs up this theory.
    - Using different block sizes in the same database can significantly increase the complexity of managing a database. You'll have multiple buffer caches that you'll have to size, for example, automatic SGA management doesn't work with non-standard block size buffer caches, etc.

  • Database Tablespaces with different block sizes...

    Hi ,
    What are the pros and cons of setting different block sizes to tablespaces, and where may be this useful???
    Thanks,
    Simon

    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:101384681997409236::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:44779427427730
    generally speaking tablespaces with different block sizes than the db standard are for transportable tablespaces only.
    however,
    Burleson will tell you to micromanage your memory allocations with multiple block sized tablespaces and various keep/recycle caches.
    http://www.dbazine.com/oracle/or-articles/burleson2
    I think its overkill and you can most likely get performance improvements from looking at other things such as the SQL your applications are running against the db. My rule of thumb is that 70% of your performance improvements are going to come from sql tuning. You can focus on the other 30% when the vast majority of your queries use 5 LIO per row per join. (Milsap's ratio not mine)

  • Join video with diferent video size

    Hi, I have this problem, I use QuickTime Pro to join clips in one large/single Mp4 file, some clips have diferent video size and when you join them a white space appears in the video, this example is from ''Peter Ganriel - Play The Videos: http://www.vendocasalasaguilas.com/QuickTime.JPG
    What I need is how to center the video and dissapear or convert the white space in black space
    Anothe question: when I play a Mp4 in QuickTime in MAC and then the same Mp4 in PC I see a lot of diferent in video quality, in MAC is much better the video quality, my question is there something to do to improve the video quality in PC or not.
    Thanks in advance

    Open the Movie Properties window and single click on a video track to highlight.
    In the lower half of the window click the "Visual Settings" tab.
    This is where you adjust dimensions, offset and track layers. Make either one track smaller or the other larger to help "align" them.
    Default add uses an offset of 0,0 (upper left).

  • Is there a way to sync two clips with different bit rates?

    I have two clips from different camcorders of the same frame rate but slightly different frame rates. When trying to sync the 2 clips, it's nearly impossible because the frames aren't lining up. Is there anything I can do?
    Where I'm trying to sync the two clips is kind of between frames.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi
    I only know of miniDV tape Cameras and SD-Video quality - and I use an external program to do this.
    JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) - Mainly I use it to go from PAL (25fps) to NTSC (29.97fps).
    It does this so much better that just dropping into TimeLine in FCE/P or switch when going from iMovie/FCE/P to iDVD. They both does a sort of conversion - but the result has to me been very choppy/jumpy and not enjoyable at all.
    There are even better conversions - But those are Pro applications and costs are astronomical - and the end result is not that much better at all.

  • Loading images with different horizontal sizes

    I would like to load images with different horizontal
    resolutions (vertical resolution to be the same) dymanically into
    an empty movie clip. I would like them to load with the right hand
    side of the image lined up with the right hand side of my site. I
    have seen many tutorials about how to accomplish the loading of the
    movies, but I cannot figure out how to make them open with the
    right hand side always lined up on the right.
    To be more specific, let's say I have three images of the
    varying pixel resolutions (1200x600, 800x600, and 400x600 for
    example). I would like the horizontal size to always extend away
    from the right hand side of the site with the right hand edge of
    the images always lined up.
    Is this possible to do by loading them into an empty movie
    clip?
    thanks

    When you load an image file into an empty movieClip, that
    clip takes on the dimensions of the loaded content. The
    registration point for the clip is set to the upper left corner.
    So, once the new image is loaded, just set that clip's .x to the
    stage width - the width of the clip.

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • Sync issues with HD Video...

    Hello!
    We've had some sync issues with several HD Videos. Recently, a shoot was done. Some shots were totally in sync and others were out of sync. Any idea what this could be from? Not sure if the shots came from different cameras or not.

    Hi,
    Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
    Thanks
