Trouble with aspect ratio importing jpegs

I am importing JPEGs into Final Cut Pro. They are all formated at 740x480. All appropriate settings in FC are NTSC-DV Anamorphic. The photos are coming in squeezed down. Any help would be appreciated.

The pixels are not square. All you need to do is open the Motion tab and adjust the distort.

TROUBLE WITH ASPECT RATIO

USING PE7. CAM 1 AND 2 SHOT WITH 16/9 RATIO. THE CAPTURED IMAGES FROM BOTH
CAMERAS DISPLAY EXAGGERATED WIDTHS, EVERYBODY LOOKS 50 LBS FATTER THAN THEY ARE. I'VE TRIED CAPTURING IN 3 OTHER PROGRAMS-SAME RESULT.
CAM 1 IS A CANON GL2. IT COMPRESSED THE IMAGE DURING RECORDING TO FIT A 4:3.
THE EDITING PROGRAMS "SEE" THE 4:3 AS A 16/9 COMPRESSED FORMAT AND AUTOMATICALLY DISPLAY 16:9.
CAM 2 IS A 2007 HITACHI HD. IT DEFAULTS TO A 16:9. LOOKS GOOD ON THE ON-BOARD SCREEN WHEN SHOOTING BUT ON PLAYBACK LOOKS FAT ALSO.
I DUMPED THE FILES ONTO A DVD TO TRY ON THE TV. SAME FATS. WHEN I CHANGE THE ASPECT RATIO ON THE TV MONITOR TO FORCE THE 16:9 BACK TO 4:3, THE LATTER SETTING LOOKS ABOUT RIGHT, NOT TOO SKINNY, NOT TOO FAT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOT EVERYBODY HAS A TV THAT CAN ADJUST THE AR AND THEY WOULD PROBABLY JUST THINK THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL ON HIGH-CALORIE DIETS.
WHAT DO I DO NOW? I NEED A PROGRAM THAT I CAN ADJUST THE ASPECT RATIO TO GET EVERYBODY'S WEIGHT REDUCED FAIRLY.
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP?

If you have recorded in widescreen you need to work in a widescreen project. Did you select a widescreen project preset at start up?
If so and you still have the problem then the other thing to look at is to right click on the clip in the project Media Bin and select Interpret Footage. Then in Conform To select the appropriate widecscreen preset.

Having trouble with aspect ratio when compressing DVCPRO HD footage to QT

I have a 35mm film (1.85-1 aspect ratio) converted to 16/9 DVCPRO HD. When I compress it to Mpeg2 for DVD, it looks great, holds the correct aspect ratio. But when I choose a setting for the web, a small Quicktime file, it stretches the image ever so slightly. Not sure what the problem is. Thanks for the help.

Hey Lodgeboy,
without knowing the settings you are using, it is difficult to help, but i will try to answer as best i can:
if you are using web-presets, make sure you crop the matte, NOT resize the file.
Basically, instead of letterboxing OR creating am anamorphic MPEG2 for DVD (still in the 720x480 space) you would first crop the mattes off and then resize.
In the case of a web-file, it doesnt matter what order you process the file, EXCEPT if its for IPTV.
Without knowing details about what your final deliverable is, the source and the settings, this is as much as i can help you.

Having trouble with aspect ratio when going to iDVD

I have a movie I am trying to put into iDvd6. I export to qtime , self-contained, with chapter markers. When it is played in idvd it is squeezed. The people are tall and thin. It is all shot, edited, transfered in 4:3 ratio. I have checked if all setting are to 4:3, I think they are. I have noted the other posts and they mostly deal with 16:9 issues. May it have some to do with the 720*480 to 640*480 conversion?
I do not cherish the idea of using another converter.
Seems I have done this before without this difficulty.
What may be a solution?
Using idvd6. FCE3.5

I would honestly like to know why it would not work to just use the exported video from FCE into iDvD, there should be no aspect change in my case. The source in in 720x480. I also would have thought that FCE would be set up to transfer to dvd since much of what is done will need to be shown on that format?
Anamorphicizer did not work for me!!
myDvdedit I have not tried yet as looks to be too many steps to be practical.
I suppose I will try QTpro.
Any thoughts?

Did you look up the command line syntax and control options for imp?
You should make it a habit that whenever anyone - especially a stranger on the web - gives you a bit of code or references a command or init parm or any some such, the VERY FIRST thin you should ALWAYS do is look it up for yourself and see exactly where and how it is used and what it means. That is how you grow beyond having to be spoon fed every little thing and become more self-sufficient.
If you had, you would have seen that there is no TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION option for imp and seen that it is an option for impdp. And realized that exp and imp are NOT the same thing as expdp and impdp.

CS 6 Shift-Circle with Aspect Ratio Correction

In PhotoShop CS 4 & 5.5, with a NTSC D1, 720x 486 document, a Pixel Aspect Ratio of D1.DV NTSC (0.91), and ellipse options set to unconstrained, with Aspect Ratio Correction Turned on, to draw a perfect Circle, you could hold Shift-option-cmd and you'd get a perfect Circle.
In PhotoShop CS 6, the circle is streched to the top and bottom when I do a shift-Drag to draw a circle in a non-square Pixel document with Aspect Ratio Correction turned off.
So, at this point, In a Non-Square Pixel document, There's no way to draw a perfect circle.
What's changed between 5.5 and 6?? Is there a Preference somewhere that I've missed???
TIA
jamie

Looking into this a little more, what I think is going on is that in previous versions, Shift dragging compensated for the non-square pixels, so that drawn items show up correctly. If you look at the Info Box in 5.5 when shift drawing a circle, the height is greater then the width, when working in a non-square document.
In 6.0, when you do the same thing, the height and width are the same. So, no compensation is being done for the non-square pixels.
In 5.5, if you place a circle by entering the dimensions in the ellipse option, say 400, by 400, with PAR turned on, the image is squeezed side to side.
So, In 5.5 Shift Compansated for nonSquare pixels. In CS6, it does not.

Please help with Aspect Ratio Setting

I shot video with my MiniDV camera switched to 16:9 (my normal is 4:3)
Editing the footage in Final Cut, the Sequence Setting, Aspect Ratio says NTSC DV 3:2
I sent a clip to Motion to make a lower 3rd. I had to change my Motion Project Properties> Pixel Aspect Ratio> to NTSC D1/DV Anamorphic so the footage would look wide.
When I export the lower 3rd clip and bring it into Final Cut timeline it doesn't look right. It looks right in the Viewer but not the timeline? Any suggestions

Well, I guess I thought the video in Motion needed to look more rectangle (16x9) than square (4:3). Since it did in FCP. And my FCP sequence setting>Aspect Ratio says NTSC DV 3:2
I am used to working with plain MiniDV 4:3. I shoot with Sony PD150. I don't understand or never had to deal with Aspect Ratios. This project they wanted a widescreen look so I switch the camera to 16x9.
I don't think it is the real 16x9 but like I said I don't know about this stuff or why my camera has 16x9 on in if it is not the real thing.
Feel free to comment, I am trying to learn

Can I import with aspect ratio crop in Aperture?

When importing images can I auto crop them to a specific aspect ratio?

I find myself answering my own questions, well there is no way to save an aspect ratio as a preset, bummer. But I did find this article:
http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/04/19/a-way-to-create-crop-presets-in-apertur e-3/
Have suggested to Apple, but really, it should be there anyway as some Adjustments can be saved already!

Panasonic sdr-s150 / problem with aspect ratio

Hi all,
I'm about to purchase the sdr-s150 as it fits my needs regarding size vs. picture quality. Before doing so I wanted to make sure that footage from the camera can be edited with the all new imovie 08. And here's my problem with that.
I downloaded some 16:9 sample footage out of the internet and imported this into imovie 08. The icons imovie creates in the import and project areas are all looking good regarding aspect ratio. In the project settings I choose aspect ratio 16:9 and 'fit to frame' (don't know the exact setting in the english version) for the clips being added to the projects.
The preview of the clips and final export know shows black bars at top and bottom and the footage ist squeezed together.
I already tried sdcopy and ran the clips through this before importing into imovie 08. No change.
Any ideas ? Please also feel free to comment on the quality of the footage of this camera once processed through imovie from your point of view.
Thanks,
JasperJunker.

hey there Derek100,
i've experienced the same thing w/ FCP & iMovie (in NTSC). it's that the FCP easy set-up is "anamorphic", which is a 4:3 image made to appear as 16:9 & so that is how FCP works w/ the image. i really have no other explanation. i suppose if you create a custom set-up, you could eliminate the bars @ the top & bottom. there should be something in the Manuals, though i don't know where--i've never looked. sorry not to be of more help, but now i'm gonna investigate for myself.
good luck.

16:9 ASPECT RATIO IMPORT PROBLEM

Hi
I have a camera using SDHS cards. I set it for 16:9 aspect ratio recording. I know the output is 16:9 because it is when I use a SDHC card reader and view it on the PC with the viewer or play it elswhere it is 16:9
I set the new project to 16:9. in PRE-8 and got the media from the SD card. It imported it as 4:3 however and distorted it. The PRE-8 screen is showing the 16:9 preview box so I think it is set properly in new project.
I tried using all the posible import methods including DV, Hard drive, memory and so fourth. I tried all the camera and file methods and set them to 16:9 and still no lluck.
I noticed as soon as the images for the clips apear in the project section they are 4:3. However thinking they must be rendered to show as 16:9 I did that but to no avail.
Am I missing something? How do I get them into PRE-8 and have it show the widescreen format?
Thanks

I have actually solved the problem - I went to one of the other discussions on this page and did the following:
In Edit - right click on the file (or clip) go to Interpret Footage and selected Pixel Aspect Ration for PAL 16:9 widescreen.
I have since changed all the files, exported my movie and it works perfectly!
Thanks for your help - I'm sure I'll will be returning with other issues.

Working with Aspect Ratio to DVD - 800x600 projector vs. 720x480 DVD player

Hi there and thanks for reading. I don't post on this community often, so if there is better place for this question please point me there.
First a little about my project: I'm a student of fine arts and my current work involves the use of a projector and 2d and 3d objects. Projection mapping, or video mapping has been a budding art form for quite some time, but I do not use any of the current software applications that would be best for the medium. My current process begins by setting up a physical 2d or 3d composition in my studio space and projecting my PC desktop onto the scene with a common classroom style projector. I begin "mapping" objects in my studio with Illustrator, and then import my project to After Effects in order to animate my composition. If I set my project resolution to something that doesn't match my projector resolution and go to full screen, my software composition will not match my physical composition. After my project is complete and I'm ready to show visitors, I'll export a video and set it to loop.
For some time now I've been trying to work out a set of best practices so that my projects are clear and precise. Even the slightest bump and everything in the video mapping falls apart. Since my projector shoots a native 3:4 aspect ratio, and has a resolution of 800x600px, I set my Illustrator document size to the same. When I work in After Effects, I set my composition to the same res. and I make sure my settings are accurate when I go to export a video (typically h.264 format since I'm used to using my computer for playback).
My current problem involves exporting my project for playback on a DVD player. As far as I know, the best format for DVD playback is mpeg2-DVD. This format demands that I convert to 720x480px - which is not in accordance with my projector. Can this problem be solved with After Effects composition or export settings?
Any ideas, tips, or links that might be of help are greatly appreciated!

It depends entirely on what the projector does with the signal it receives. Most projectors will simply scale an incoming standard def signal to fill the entire frame. In which case, I'd simply author your project in 4:3 standard def (720x480), make sure the resulting DVD is 4:3 formatted, and that should do it.

Working with aspect ratio from fcp to dvd sp

I am trying to cut video for use in a dvdsp menu. I have converted video to m2v using compressor. Video looks fine when importing to dvdsp. I try to edit same file in fcp. Everything works except when I export. After I edit m2v in fcp I am unable to make a successful export to dvdsp. I am able to import and add it to menu but the video looses its aspect ratio and is stretched.

Very true!
But there are more cows on the loose here.
For example, the QuickTime Player Pro ( with its MPEG-2 Playout Component) will always report a square- pixel size of a .m2v file. But this is just reflecting the window size that QT decided to scale the 720x480 (or 720x576) to, because the inability for a computer screen to display non-square pixels.
So it can say that an MPEG-2 file is 640x480 when it is in fact 720x480. Even worse it can tell you 720x404 or 720x540, while none of them are even technically possible to use in MPEG-2.
It is true also that BitVice (1.8x and 2.x) allows you to encode all MPEG-2 legal picture sizes up to and including 720x576, a.k.a MP@ML ( or just SD). However, only a very few of them are legal for DVD, for example, NTSC:
720x480
704x480
352x480
352x240
and PAL
720x576
704x576
352x576
352x288

Aspect ratio importing DV into FCP X

Can someone explain how DV format works (I think I understand this) and how importing DV into FCP X works (I definitely don't understand).
I have some old PAL DV files which I want to compress using Compressor, with the aim of later importing them into FCP X. I can compress them in one of two ways: compressing to 720x576 with the standard PAL aspect ratio, so they appear (eg. in QuickTime Player) as 768x576. Let's call this 'Old Style'. Or, I can compress them so they have square pixels, and genuinely are at 768x576. ('Square pixels').
Both display using QTP7 as 768x576, but Square Pixels is compressed slightly so there is more of the picture visible at left and right of the screen. Objects in the image are therefore thinner left-to-right than in Old Style.
Now, if I import them into FCP X, in the event browser Square Pixels still displays as 768x576 and looks just as it does in QTP. But Old Style is now wider than 768x576 and has the extra bit of picture that Square Pixels displays. So they're both displaying the same image, but Square Pixels has it compressed to fit into 768x576, whereas Old Style has it wider, and consequently people are fatter left-to-right.
When I import these events into a project, things change again. Old Style appears exactly as it does in the event browser (ie. about 786x576, with the whole image displayed). Square Pixels stretches the image north-south, and this means that part of the top and bottom of the image are chopped off.
What is going on? Is there a website which can explain this clearly? Which is the better format for me to compress my video into?
Cheers,
Martin S Taylor
FCP X 10.1.2
Compressor 4.1.2

I don't understand your question?
DV footage on DV or mini-DV tapes is already digitised . . . . hence the name DV or Digital Video.
If you have a DV camera or deck you can plug it into your Mac via FireWire and import the footage straight into FCP X.

Aspect Ratio Import Export settings?

Hi - I'm not terribly experienced in post, mostly a production kinda dude... so bare with me please...
I have a QT avi film file - 3ivx D4 4.0PR2, 640 x 272, Millions
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz - FPS - 25
I did not create this so I can't answer any questions about software or settings used to create it beyond what you see above.
I'm trying to see if I can turn it into a DVD which will play on a normal DVD player. ( Mostly as an exercise to teach myself how...)
I drag and drop the file into my Assets window and am told in another small window that it's 720x480 NOT 640x272... If I drag it onto the time line I get a squished 4:3 image (vertically stretched)
If I double click on the file in the asset box it pops up in its correct format...
I've futzed around with the only two settings I've found that seem to have any bearing (Preferences, Simulator Aspect Ratio, 4:3 Letterbox - AND - Encoding , Aspect Ratio 16:9) - I've tried every combo without success.
My goal? To produce a DVD which will play letterboxed on a 4:3 TV and 16:9 or 1:85 on a HD TV... Worse case scenario for now I'd settle for the letterboxed version.
Can anyone help this moron here????
Also while you're at it... why does the size meter at the top of DVD Studio Pro show a much bigger size than the file I'm using? And why is there an addition audio track that is imported with a huge size????
HELP??????
JHF

Your best bet here is to get that file into a DVD legal size before you get it into DVDSP. I would also convert the audio as well - you need to use an uncompressed format at 48Khz, or convert it to Dolby Digital (AC3).
If you import these assets in to DVDSP it will do the best it can to convert them when the disc is built, but I wouldn't like to count on the resulting quality!
You could create a FCP project and import this asset in to that, setting it into the centre of the frame leaving black all around if you want to keep the original size/proportions. Export the result and encode that to MPEG2 using Compressor (or whatever your preferred MPEG encoder happens to be). Then import the resulting M2V file with the audio (which is now at 48Khz) into DVDSP. You should then be good to go.
The file size meter in DVDSP is showing you what the unencoded assets are, and the additional audio file is because MP3 is not a DVD format - it is creating this for you to use on your timeline... it's going to be uncompressed, and as you say, huge.
