  • How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

    FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
    I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
    In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
    HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
    Timebase: 25
    I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    ML

    Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
    1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
    2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
    3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
    Hope that helps

  • AE CS4 Crashes when I drag media from the project panel to the timeline

    Hello,
    I have a problem dragging media from the project pannel to the timeline.  Several times a day AE will crash when I do this.  Currently I'm using the latest MAC Pro with 11 gig of Ram and Duel 27 inch monitors.   Everything worked fine in CS3, but when I upgraded to CS4 I started having this issue. I have AE spread over both monitors.  Could that be a problem?  Are there any know issue with dragging?  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Magiebabel:
    Since there are millions of context-specific reasons why this could happen -and also considering it's not happening to the majority of users out there-, it would be really helpful if you could fill out the Adobe Crash Reporter dialog that pops up when AE crashes (it just asks for what you were doing when the app crashed, and your e-mail info). When you send that, it includes a report about the crash that can be very useful to help the engineers figure out why it crashed.
    Here's a blog post on what kind of data is sent through the Crash Reporter and why is it so important that you fill it and send it, if at all possible.

  • My video disappears when I drag it into the timeline...

    When I drag a video clip into the timeline, only the audio appears.  I scrubbed through and the audio plays, and the video didn't so it's not hidden somewhere amongst the clips I've already made.  The video plays fine in Quicktime and in the Source monitor within Premiere.  Likewise, my co-worker took the same .mp4 and was able to drag it onto a timeline on her computer and this wasn't an issue for her.  I've already dragged nine other .mp4 videos into this timeline without issue that all have the same codec and frame rate.
    I've tried refreshing the program, my computer, and have tried exporting the .mp4 into a .mov as I've read that worked for somebody else who ran into this issue on CS3.  I feel like this is more of a Premiere issue than a video issue.  Does anyone have a solution?
    Thank you.

    very strange. can you confirm you have source patching enabled for your video track?
    have you also tried using the insert or overwrite edit commands from the source monitor to bring in the video to the timeline?

  • TS3212 when i try to download the latest version of itunes i get invalid signature, what daoes this mean.

    When i try to update my itunes i get invalid signature, what is this and how do i download the latest version?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • When i create genius playlist the sort album columns always comes out how can i remove this?

    i dont know how it got included in the generated playlist when i click on a song but the sort alum column always comes out. How can I edit the columns included in this genius generated playlist?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
    For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists if using the new version of Get info or set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab if using the old dialog box (which you can invoke by holding down shift as you right-click > Get Info).

  • Mail in Firefox loads fast & fine. When I go to Contacts, the system is super slow and sometimes crashes. What do I do?

    Issue is simply, why does mail in Firefox work extremely well and then Contacts struggles and sometimes crashes. Thx.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • When recharging my "new ipad" the transformer gets very hot and it takes 12hrs or more to achieve 100%. Anyone else having this problem? The transformer gets so hot i am afraid it will melt or syart a fire.

    When recharging the transformer gets extremely hot , so hot i am afraid it will melt down. It takes almost 20 hrs to reach 100%. Any ideas?

    This is very unusual.
    If you are using cable that came with your iPad than I suggest going to the nearest Apple Store. This does not seem to be a software issue so I can not help you with that

  • While using skype on my iphone 4s i found after an hour or so the iphone was very warm and actually bit hot. Is this normal for other users too?

    While using Skype on my iphone 4s i found the phone was heated up. It was very warm. I had used for 1 hour or so. Is this normal for other users aswell ?
    And also sometimes when i get the call no matter how much i try to slide the cursor, it doesn't move. I miss those calls. It looks like it is freezed. Has this
    happened to others too?

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • Dragging video to the Timeline or Canvas from the Viewer

    After placing In and Out points in the Viewer, I'm just curious if there is any real benefit to dragging the resulting video to either the Canvas or the Timeline? Is it just a matter of preference? Is one way a better way than the other to get into the habit of doing?
    Thanks.

    You have control over the track your putting it on if you drag to the timeline. You can also drag it to anyplace in the timeline where if you drag it to the canvas without any in or out point marked in the timeline, it will edit at the playhead. There are probably other differences, but that's what I can think of at the moment.
