Timeline problem by mixing 4:3 and 16:9 clips and export to iDVD

Have a few 4:3 clips dragged to timeline, rest 16:9. The 4:3 clips are shown in 16:9 modus (reduced hight, dim correct). The seq is set DV- PAL (not anamorfic). By exporting I use QT conversion, QT movie, DV-PAL, 4:3 asp rat. Result: All 16:9 clips are OK, but the 4:3 clips are expanded in the hight to fill the 4:3 TV screen. What to do, I want all in 16:9?
When exporting to iDVD I want the result in 16:9.
Another question: how achive best quality by exporting and iDVD prod.?
Thanks ia!
Ivar

If you want to export a 16:9 movie you have to work in a 16:9 sequence.

  • Problem embedding video in Pages and exporting as epub

    I'm using pages 09 ver 4.2 (1008). I' trying to embed video (.m4v and .mov)  I can't find the checkbox  'Copy audio and movies into document'. The user guide says it's an advanced option on the 'save as' but my version of pages runnning on Lion 10.7.4 doesn't have a save as'- just a 'save a version. It apparently does auto save).
    I'm using Book Proofer to send the epub generated by Pages to my iPad. The strange thing is that some times the videos work and then I add another and one that used to work don't even appear when viewed on my iPad.
    Any one had experience adding video (eother m4v or mov files using pages and exporting as a epub?
    Thanks for any insights!

    As far as I know, the Keynote export does not support video, only images and text (and, new with version 3, mp3 audio!).

  • Newbie Questions - Interlacing, Formats and exporting to iDVD

    Sorry everybody, but I've got some issues. I'm new to Final Cut Express but I have a decent knowledge of digital video formats and resolutions, etc. I'm going to try to give as much information as possible so as to make your jobs easier.
    I'm putting together a project for work that is using NTSC DV (4:3, 720x480) that I didn't shoot myself as well as a number of photographs (6-8 megapixels). I originally put the timeline together in iMovie '08 then exported as XML to FCE. I moved the pictures around using keyframes to create what iMovie likes to dub the "Ken Burns" effect (although I somehow doubt that he was the first to use it). The project is only about two and a half minutes long.
    I read up on the best way to export to iDVD and found that creating a Quicktime reference movie then directing iDVD to that seems the best way as you're not encoding the video twice. Unfortunately, the final product ends up extremely choppy and interlacing artifacts are everywhere (especially in the photos). I tried playing on an actual television, thinking my iMac just wasn't de-interlacing the image correctly, and it still looks just awful and horribly choppy.
    What did I do wrong?
    Help!

    Thanks for a quick response. The problem is apparent through the whole video, both video and still images. In Easy Setup it was set at DV-NTSC. When I exported from iMovie it basically just kept the videos at their right place in the timeline, the photos, text and music didn't move over, so all of that was imported in FCE as you thought.
    I would describe the problem as being extremely jerky. Not starting and stopping, just horribly un-smooth (that's not a word). But I don't get those big macroblocks like when something is encoded at a low bitrate. Especially when panning over still photos, strait lines get very, very aliased. It draws a lot of attention to edges and lines in the photo.
    If, instead of just creating a reference movie, I export as H.264 and choose "DeInterlace Source Material" it does seem a little smoother, but the photos still look pretty bad.
    Thanks again for any help.

  • Problems with mixed 10.5 and 10.6 client

    We run a small network based on 10.6 server. Most users are network user accounts. I'm seeing strange behaviour when a user moves from a 10.6 client to a 10.5 client. Address book needs to be reimported, spotlight reindexes, iTunes Library needs to be rebuilt etc.
    Is anyone seeing the same issues, and are there any workarounds?

    just to close down an old thread. Mail on 10.6 and 10.5 are not interchangable, neither are the two versions of Address Book. I've had to limit users to either 10.5 or 10.6 macs and will eventually get them all to 10.7, retiring to PPC machines.

  • Problem importing .PSD to Fireworks and Exporting to .HTM with CSS

    Hi!
    Ok, I've watched 3 differerent adobe tutorial videos about opening a .PSD file in Fireworks and ultimately exporting from Fireworks to an HTML file with CSS for use in Dreamweaver.  It seems so easy.  I have a very simple PSD.  Basically a solid color header with two images on it plus some text which will eventually be a nav menu.  Then I have about 500 px of blank space underneath where I will eventually place a flash SWF.  Finally, I have a text footer made up of 6 individual text boxes that will also serve as nav links.
    When I export, the top portion looks fine, however my text boxes at the bottom end up all over the place and one even loses the "style" formatting.
    What am I doing wrong?  In the videos, it appears text simply stays text during the export and stays where it was on the page.  I don't know why mine is going everywhere.
    Any ideas would be so much appriciated...thx!!!

    I prefer to work in Photoshop.  I never use Fireworks.  But I know many people who prefer Fireworks.  So pick your favorite graphics editor and stick with it. PSD is not a Fireworks file type thus some things may get lost in translation particularly if they reside in layers on a CMYK project file.  Graphics for the web need to be saved as RGB.
    More importantly, graphics editors shouldn't be used to generate quality code.  Use your graphics editor to make your design comp, slice and optimize images (File > save for web).  Use DW to build your HTML & CSS code.   DW will do many things for you, but for best results you'll need a working knowledge of HTML and CSS otherwise you'll become very frustrated.

    Then work your way through this tutorial.

  • IMOVIE SCROLLING CREDITS AND EXPORTING TO IDVD

    GREETING ALL MAC USERS
    I CREATED A VIDEO PROJECT IN IMOVIE WITH SCROLLING CREDITS. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I EXPORT THE GOOD IMOVIE PROJECT WITH SCROLLING GREAT TO IDVD TO BURN ON A DVD DISC THE SCROLLING CREDITS SHOWS UP AS A BLANK WHITE SCROLLING SCREEN.
    I'VE HAD ONE ON ONES, GENIUS BAR, WORKSHOP AND ONLINE TECH SUPPORT. I'VE EXPORTED IN ALL FORMAT AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE? HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!...LOL.

    Anyone? We had to delay our rollout. I'm so bummed about this. Doesn't Apple care that I cannot have credits at the end of my movie with the latest version on iMovie? Just a scrolling white screen. It stinks. I found someone who had a workaround by chopping the credits up into 4 second intervals. It looks terrible though - way too much black space in between the sections. I just don't know what to do.
    My credits total about 24 seconds and play with music. In iMovie they look fine. (Not all CAPS). Once I publish in any format to any place they turn into a solid white screen. PLEASE oh PLEASE help me. This is for WORK. Clearly I need to change applications...

  • Linked libraries and exporting to IDVD or Imovie

    If you use linked libraries does Iphoto 6 export the photos to IDVD or Imovie the same as if you have the photos stored in Iphoto library? I am just setting up and would like to know before I choose how to organize my stuff. Thanks
    G4 466, G3 233 Desktop   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   ipod-photo 60g iphoto&idvd-6

    Madsen:
    Yes. iMovie and iDVD will see the "alias" library and it's photos and albums. It cannot see the individual rolls so you will need to create an album of those photos you want to use in the iDVD or iMovie project. FWIW I've created a workflow to move from a conventional V5 or V6 library to an alias based library with a folder system based on the current rolls in the library. You could change the groupings in either the V5 or V6 library before starting the process by creating new rolls for your selected groups of photos.

  • Mix of Arabic and English causes problems in JTextArea

    I have a JTextArea which displays HTML of an Arabic web page. So it's essentially a mix of English and Arabic. In the JTextArea, with columns set to 30, certain text just disappears instead of wrapping properly. The weird thing is that if I copy the invisible text and paste it into Notepad, then I can see it in Notepad. If I change the number of columns to 40, everything displays fine. Any ideas?

    It seems that Arabic is not the problem here. It is something to do with tabs. All the lines that disappear begin with 5 tabs. If I remove one tab so that they begin with 4 tabs, then they appear fine in the JTextArea

  • When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
    Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
    If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

  • Problems working with non drop and drop frame DVCPRO HD material in project

    I am having playback problems with my non drop frame HDV material. It stutters.
    All of our projects up to this point have been shot in drop frame. During our last shoot however the Bcam was recorded in non drop. I loaded both the non drop bcam tapes as non drop and the drop frame Acam tapes as drop. All of the drop frame Acam material plays back fine in the source viewer and the timeline. The non drop Bcam material seems to randomly stutter in the source viewer, or causes the system to serve a "dropped frames warning" in the timeline.
    Is there a bug with fcp 5.1.2 about mixing non drop and drop frame material in a project. Or is this not possible? They are the same frame rate.
    I have exported the non drop clips in a drop frame timeline and re-imported them as drop frame clips - thus correcting the problem. Is this the best solution?
    All of the material was loaded thru a kona card as 1080i60 DVCPROHD 29.97
    I had no problems capturing the material as long as I used the corrrect firewire setting (ndf vs df).
    Anyone have a problem like this? I would greatly appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The camera can record 60i, and 30F:
    "HDV 1080, 50i/60i/30F/25F Recording and Playback capable"
    Look at the clips...look at their frame rates. What do they say? Is one 59.94? Is the other 29.97?
    You would never need to render if you mixed NDF and DF footage. The footage runs at the same speed, on the TC numbers are different. But, you would need to render if your footage had different frame rates. LOOK AT THE CLIPS.

  • HDV mixed format editing and mastering for broadcast TV

    Hi
    I have HDV blues with regards mixed format and multi time base.
    Any help advice will be greatly appreciated.
    I have never handled HDV in multiformat and multiple timebase to Mater and output for Broadcast television.
    I am hoping to master to DVD directly on the configuration ( details provided below ) to deliver to NTSC and PAL market for DVD retail.
    However I would need to take to a post house, one or more quicktime file to Output to Digital Betacam for television broadcast for both NTSC and PAL formats.
    with regards
    problems I am facing are on two fronts:
    1) I am unsure of best quality and workflow to output master on Digital Betacam tape for broadcast TV in NTSC and PAL both formats.
    2) With sequence set at HDV 1080 50i, and export setting as current setting, upon render and export of self contained quicktime direct from FCP timeline I face few troubling symptoms;
    - that the quicktime exports 3mins to 35 minutes of qt clip but not the whole program of 90 minutes as one clip. System crashes and I have to reboot.
    - Another symptom is that by doing above my time line shows aduio as out of sync to video. here i see that Audio tracks A1,A2 as being torn apart at cut edit points and have gap of 1 frame at random ( but not on all edit points ).
    A3, A4 and other music and sound fx tracks have slipped off sync by few frames , again at random and also other places the edit comes back in sync with audio.
    - Of course I am having to re- render this sequence timeline a zillion times even though the previously rendered files still exist in relevant folder.
    Program duration: 90 minutes
    current sequence : 1440 x 1080 at 50i
    edit sequence time-line consists following source material directly ingested from tape via firewire in native HDV and DV:

    -HDV footage of 1440 x 1080, 50i
    -HDV footage of 1440 x 1080, 60i

    Hi guys, thanks for getting back to me. My client has now changed her mind and so I'm just mixing XDCAM and HDV 16:9 footage which is absolutely fine. Awesome. Thanks for your help!
    I have one issue - some of the XDCAM footage she has given me is .MP4 video (actually each clip is a folder with 5 files in it (.MP4, .SMI, .PPN, .XML, .BIM). Do I have to convert the .MP4 into .MOV via Compressor to work with it (presumably this will compress it somewhat) or can I convert it simply and losslessly somehow (perhaps using sony XDCAM software?)
    Thanks again for any help!

  • Satellite L20-101: Question about memory modules mixing PC2-4300 and PC2-4200

    Hello
    I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. It has onboard 512MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today I added another RAM module but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there anything wrong doing this? Both modules are DDR2 and 533MHz and 512MB.

    Hi Pawel,
    In principle there is no problem with mixing RAM modules of slightly different types but normally the total RAM will only run at the speed of the slower module. If your notebook recognises the correct amount of RAM from both sticks then there will ne no problem.

  • Wireless Communication problem between HP Photosmart C309g and Linksys E2500 router

    Hello,
    I used C309g  connected to DLink Dl-624 router (wireless connection) and everything was working correctly. Now I changed the router to Linksys E2500 (dual band router) and I've got strange problem I cannot fix.
    The printer connects to router, obtaint IP address and network report does not indicates any problem. Also HP Print & Scan Doctor does not report any problem.
    But when I try to print from my laptop, the pint start and is quickly broken, and I've got the message that printer is diconnected. The printer stops. When I leave it for a coupl of minutes, the printing starts and after few lines stops again with the same message on the laptop.
    When I return to DLink router, everything works correctly.
    I tried with 4 different laptops, with different operating systems, and i've gor the same issue. But the laptops communicates well, the network does not break..
    I enforced router to use IP reserved number for the printer, used the same IP range and number for my network and printer on Linksys and DLink, does not help.  I've turn off firewall on the router - does not help. I've change the channel range for 2.4 GHz network to 20MHz only - does not help.
    What would be the problem with it? Is there something related to dual-band? Any idea? 

    Well, I did not install the printer drivers from cd, I did it from the Hp webpage. Looking for the potential problems I reinstall the drivers and it did not helped. I also turn off the firewall router application and it also did not help.
    I suspect I have the printer firmware up to date e.g my version is WHM1FN0931BR.
    I've made some test with router settings:  switch from automatic WPS configuration to manual and tried network mode as wireless b only (default was mixed). This makes the communication between router and printer continuous (no breaks), I could normally scan documents directly to network drive, but could not print at all: the printing option on my laptop pops up, and looks like document was sent to nowhere.. printer did not start to print at all. But other network devices starts to experience connection breaks and performance issues. When I returned to mixed mode, the communication between network devices returns to normal operation, but not with the printer - where I experiences original problems.
    My network is quite complex - 4 laptops and 2 TV sets communicates (wireless or LAN 100mbit cable ) via cental router with NAS server (with DLNA) and internet (DSL cable modem). Router also works as DHCP server, where any server type devises (e.g my printer) has reserved IP addresses (based on MAC number). No matter if I try to print from wireless or via LAN cable laptop, no matter what OS is on laptop. I have even tried to connect the printer via LAN (forcing DHCP to give the LAN pronter the same IP as was previously for wireless ), and stil the same: communication is broked and the print starts and suddenly stops.., then starts angain after few minutes - and stops (the same problem as wireless). So I do not understand what the hell is going on. Rest of my network works perfect .. except this printer.. Any other idea, what coul be the issue?

  • Problem Mountain lion, Pages PDF and Quartz filters

    Hello,
    With some PDF file created with Pages (iWork 4.2) in Moutain Lion, Quartz Filter don't work.
    Example :
    - Create a new doc with template "Personnal News" ("Nouvelles Personnelles in french) in "Newsletter"
    - Print dialog, "PDF" button "Open PDF with Preview"
    - In Preview, export in PDF with filter "Gray Tone"
    --> Problem : The PDF created is not in "Gray tone" but in color
    --> Same problems with others Quartz Filter, they do anything
    - With template "School" ("Lycée" in French) --> Final PDF is a mix of color and gray tone !
    - With template "Extrems Sports" (Sports Extremes in french) --> No problem, quartz filters works
    If i create the PDF with page export and use "Preview" (or Color Sync utility"), Do a PDF export with  a Quartz filters.
    --> same problem
    No problem with same manipulations before Mountain Lion (in Lion, ...). I think it's a Moutain Lion bug but it's very strange!
    Has anyone noted this bug?
    Is anyone know a solution to this pb?
    Thanks
    Note :
    - I have the problem with a simple update of Lion in Moutain Lion and after a clean install of Moutain Lion.
    - I have a boot disk with 10.5 Leopard and if i open the pdf file with Preview, the PDF file exported with quartz filter is ok.

    I think it's a Moutain Lion bug, i hope it will be fixed in the next update of Moutain Lion...
    But, i have found a workaround for this issue.
    With a PDF file with this problem :
    - Open the PDF with "Preview"
    - Print, button "PDF", "Save to PostScript Format"
    - Open the PS file with "Preview" --> Conversion to format PDF
    - Save the PDF file
    - Reopen this PDF file with Preview
    --> Export can be do with Quartz filter (sometime with filter "Gray Tone", Preview crach, but with filter "Reduce File size", no problem
    --> If a use "PDF Clerk Pro" to export this PDF with quartz filter, all filters work.

  • Send to Speedgrade and Export EDL problems

    So I'm working on a small series. I've got a final cut on Premiere Pro, and having already tested out Speedgrade I would like to use that for my final color correction and export. However I'm running into problems I'd never run into before. First the "Send to Speedgrade" option. When I use Send to Speedgrade, having my sequence selected, for some reason it is only exporting the audio and not the video. Once Speedgrade opens all I have is the .wav in the timeline from my sequence, but nothing else, all on one track. I've tried making sure my video was all on one track in Premiere Pro, and exported the audio and re-imported to put that on a single track in Premiere Pro as well, but still no joy. Seems strange cause I've never had this issue.
    So I tried the export as EDL function, which never seems to work cause certain "edits" are not supported (even though it's just simple cuts.) In another forum I found out the issue can also be with the audio, so I tried to cut the audio from my sequence in Premiere Pro, export as EDL, and then open up that within Speedgrade, and importing the aformentioned audio track separately on the speedgrade timeline. This lets me open the EDL no problem (no red error message) and then reconnect the reels using my desktop, but my issue then becomes the audio. I can bring the audio in fine, but I didn't count on the fact that when I rebuild the reels it uses the audio from the original files as well. (obviously I can mute the track, as I just realized that simple fix while writing this issue up, but I still feel like I might be doing something wrong - because when I try to consolidate all the audio/video onto two separate tracks in Premiere Pro, it'll let me open the EDL I export into speedgrade, but the audio is still not showing up unless I import that separately.)
    Anyway this is just weird as I never ran into these problems before. They might be first version issues that have been resolved, but I refuse to update speedgrade because everytime I do it crashes on startup, and no one has helped me with that previous issue, and despite my best efforts at resolving it using the forums I haven't had any luck.

    Regarding the problem when you "Send to Speedgrade" and only the audio shows up, I just worked through the same problem (Premiere Pro CC 7.01)
    You need to make sure the "work area bar" is selected around your timeline that you want to send to Speedgrade. If it has disappeared mysteriously (as it did for me), simply double-click where it usually shows up and it will reappear, with in and out points set to the extents of your timeline. Then send to Speedgrade and the video is sent along with the audio. Seems like a bug, or at least something that can be better documented. Though I suspect this workflow has changed in 7.1 ...
    Cheers
