Trouble with P2 Footage QT Exports

Hi,
My P2 footage looks fine in the timeline but when I export QT's (w/ "current settings" marked) the aspect ratio changes and they look squished. The QT info pane states that the video is in fact 1080, matching the clip info and sequence settings. I don't understand what's happening.
One note: I thought the DP was going to shoot 720, so one thing I'm wondering is if I somehow made a mistake when I brought in the footage, as it was the first time I had logged and transferred P2 footage (I'm used to working with XDCam EX footage where I've never had a problem like this).
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the advice but I don't see any settings to change in the QTPlayer 10, and now the same thing has happened to my client who of course also defaults to QTPlayer 10, but thankfully she has QT7 Player as a back-up, which plays the P2 footage Quicktime correct 16x9 aspect ratio.
I've seen several references online to this problem with P2 footage - but no solution other than to use another media player. Apparently the 16x9 embedded flag/value is somehow lost during QT export with P2 footage. When this happens, the file is assumed to be in a 4:3 aspect ratio. I've poured through the settings in FCP and don't see anything that I could change to help this.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a fix - either in QT or in FCP!
Thanks in advance!

Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line? Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose. Any advice? Not the most sophisticated user.

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Trouble with new Sony Z5U exporting to tape

I am using Premiere Pro CS3. Just purchased the New Sony Camcorder Model Z5U. Tried to export to tape and Premiere doesn't want to cooperate. Anyone having the same problem and if so, any fixes that you might have run across???

I exported the same project to a JVC model HR-DVS2 tape deck and it recorded it. I also have to confess that I am new to CS3. Not to Premiere. I have avoided using CS3 because I have not taken the time to learn it. I work with TV production and the timing has forced me to use old reliable 6.5. I guess I am getting too old to learn. I am having fits with CS3 because I didn't take the time to work with any of the Pro series. Have them all but didn't use them. First version crashed on me in a hurryup project so I gave up on it. I used to be able to figure these issues out on my own...now I'm lost.

Trouble with SD footage in HD timeline

I am working with a blend of media and would like to be able to place some SD (4:3) footage into my project with that section pillar-boxed. I have read other posts on the subject and do not want to upconvert the footage to a widescreen look as it contains a lower-third template that would get cut off. I've tried both the "scale to sequence" and "conform to sequence" commands and both had zero effect. What I do get is what appears to be a zoomed image focusing upon the upper left region of my 4:3 image. If I attempt a resize or rescale, all that results is a larger or smaller version of the same thing. How then do I get the full view of a 4:3 image pillar-boxed into a 16:9 project?

You up-rezzed a 720x480 @29.97 frames image to 1280x720 @59.97 frames for use in a 1920x1080 @29.97 frame sequence?
First you'll have to accept the SD will look terrible when viewed along side HD footage.
You could up-rez using Compressor, turn Frame Controls On and change Resize to Best. Stick with a 4:3 image size, for a 1920x1080 sequence, resize to 1440x1080. Keep the frame rate the same as your Sequence settings. Use the same codec as your sequence.

Trouble with Offline Footage

Hello, I am trying to get back into video editing and I am running into some frustrating road blocks with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I am using a, what I am discovering to be cheap camera, Samsung SMX-F40. Im shooting "TV Fine" resolution, which I believe is 720x480. Through trial and error, I believe I have a correct Sequence Preset when creating my project, because I have successfully edited and uploaded the video to YouTube which was my goal for that project. But it had problems the whole time with video going offline so I had to re-edit a lot. Going back to the final project file only days laters, it is once again unusable because a few clips are offline again. I try re-linking them but files are "Unsupported format or damaged file". These are the same files with same name in same location I used to create the video and it suddenly doesnt like them now.
The files are .mp4, which I read that premeire seems to have issues with. I used Bigasoft Total Video converter to change my .mp4 into .mp4 that I read premier would like better. But I am still having same issues. It just doesnt like either one.
I am a little lost and was wondering if anyone has any advice or solutions that might solve my problem.

I have a similar problem. Except it doesnt effect all of the files all of the time.
Im using CS4 on an HP EliteBook 2540p w/ an Intel i7 2.13ghz and 4 gb ram. Windows 7 32 bit.
I have some file that work just fine. But the main files I need for the video keep saying "offline" And when I try to link them they are "unsupported or dammaged." All the files are 720p .mp4 files from the same camera. And all the files werew transfered at the same time. They are from a Flip if that makes any difference. The weird thing is that sometimes one file will work and other times not.
Any clues? Im going to try the above mentioned "fix" as soon as we get a new IT guy. But not sure when that will be.

Trouble with R3D footage.

Hello, I'm tying to import R3D footage into Premiere CS6 on Mac but keep getting the preview in source monitor error message. I've downloaded the RedPreview for CS6 on Mac but it's a 'bundle' and I've got no idea how to actually apply that to Premiere. Any thoughts? I desperately need to get this footage working in Premiere.

Trouble with RED footage

I've been hired to do a re-edit on a short film shot on the RED. I have FCP7. The video which had already been rendered plays fine on the timeline. But I can't get the clips to play on the Viewer. The audio plays, but for the video all I get is a white screen. (see attached screenshot image).
Also, when I try to render footage, I get a message saying, 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.' (see screenshot image). I can play other video just fine. What am I missing? Thanks.

I get this message when I tried to open the movie file:
But yet it plays on the fcp timeline.

Trouble With Exporting Quality with iMovie HD

Hi,
Im a first time user of iMovie HD and was having trouble with the qqaulity of my footage when im exporting or sharing it out to quicktime in a dv file.
When i connect my camera to a TV and watch the footage it seems a lot clearer in comparison to when i 'share' it out of iMovie HD. It seems to lose a lot of its quality. Does anyone have any suggestions? I obviously want to get the best quality i can, can anyone help???

Don't worry, it's a bit on illusion!
The quality that you see in iMovie is not representative of the quality you will see on your TV from the final DVD. This shoulkd be almost indistinguishable from what you see on your TV from the camera.
This is intentional, in that the quality is reduced (as far as what you see is concerned) in order to save 'extra labour' in the Mac's processor.

Trouble with Exported .pdf Files

I created three 20"x30" one-page documents (with iPhoto-sourced images) which saved as 24.7 MB, 19.4 MB, and 10.7 MB files, respectively. I needed to send JPEG files to my service provider for high-resolution prints. Since Pages '08 doesn't have a JPEG-export option, I exported each of them as .pdf files. My plan was to open the .pdf files in Photoshop and save them down as .jpg files. The same path had worked fine with a fourth Pages '08 layout of a 2.25"x3.75" document. With the three 20"x30" files, however, I ran into trouble.
My laptop didn't have enough memory to open the exported .pdf files in Photoshop Elements without suffering some image gray-out. I didn't think that was a problem until we discovered that my service provider couldn't open the files at all (running the current Photoshop on a souped-up system). Arghhh.
I switched to a service provider who can print straight from the .pdf files, but that also brought trouble. Though I could open the files easily in Acrobat 5.0, and they looked great, the service provider (running the current full version of Acrobat) could not open them; all he got was what looked like a blank page.
I don't think the trouble is related to file size, as the business-card document which sailed through without trouble saved as an 11.2 MB Pages file.
Could it be sheet size? That's the only thing I can figure. And why would the files open in Acrobat 5.0 without trouble, but not in the current Acrobat (or Acrobat Professional, which we also tried)?
I ended up "printing" the Pages files as "Save PDF to iPhoto," then exporting the iPhoto image as a maximum-resolution JPEG. The only trouble with that route was that the best I could get was a 200 dpi. When I went through Photoshop (instead of iPhoto) with the business card file, I ended up with a 300 dpi file.
Am I missing something obvious here? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I don't know if this is the correct answer, but you can open a PDF in Preview and save the document as a JPEG and JPEG-2000. I know that Leopard will also have some neat functionality about this as well. You might also want to look at printing as a postscript file rather than a PDF and then open in Photoshop. I talked with a FEDEX/Kinkos employee yesterday about my book at he stated that Macs use 1.5 while Adobe's Acrobat is 1.7. Leopard should also fix this, but it may not help right now.

Old EXP IMP doesnt have capability to append the row, since you're using 10g use datapump instead. use option TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPENDso my import should be like this

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.

- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Exporting DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality Problems with P2 footage.

I have ingested several clips from P2 cards some shot at 24 and some at 60 using fcp 5.1.4. When I go to export out a QT file I choose file>export>using quick time conversion. Under format options I select DVCPRO HD 720p60 for compression type, but I get no quality settings under the compressor heading to modify. Just Motion, preview and data rate. All of wich are locked... When I hit okay the movie settings dialog box reads Compression:DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality: Medium Dimensions: 960x720 (1248x702) (Compressor Native). How do I change the quality to best? A friend told me he had the option to change in fcp v 5.0.1. Also, in the Sequence Setting Dialog Box under QuickTime Video Settings I select Advanced and it shows me the compression type DVCPRO HD 720p60 and Motion with Frames per second, but the box under Compressor is blank as well. Is my software faulty or am I going about exporting exporting a high quality QT HD 720p60 file the wrong way?
Secondly, when I ingest footage from a P2 card does it maintain the frame rate data that it was captured at digitally regardless of the projects audio video settings? I ask this because one project I did the easy setup after I already created a sequence by mistake with dv settings and the footage show a vid rate in the bin at 23.98 fps regardless if it is footage shot at 23.98 or 59.94. When I made a new project using the easy setup from the start and ingested a clip shot at 60 it show in the as vid rate of 59.94 not 239.8 like the first project I made. A tad confused as I feel I am not getting the best quality out of my footage. Does this have to do with setting the camera to 24pn for variable frame rates? Or does the vid rate pull from the project setting?
As a side note, some of the footage I export appears to be slightly grainy, not sure if this is a result of the setting problems I am having.
Thank You in Advance!!!
Best,
Hans

If you are trying to export and maintain the same quality you have in the timeline then you don't need to use conversion. Just export to Quick Time Movie and check the box for Use Current Settings and Make Self Contained.

Exporting problem: How can I make a PAL DVD with NTSC footage?

Hi everyone,
I need some help as I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple of days now but it still isn't working. Here is my situation:
I shot a lot of standard definition DV with my Canon GL-2 (NTSC, bought in America) that I imported into the trial version of Premiere 5.5.
I edited the footage and set out to make a DVD with the footage that will play on PAL televisions as I live in Australia now and it's all PAL over here.
I exported the footage and put it onto Windows DVD Maker because the trial version of Premiere doesn't let you use Encore.
The footage looked great on Premiere and on the little preview that you get through Windows DVD Maker, but when I burnt the DVD and tried playing it on my TV it looked really bad.
The big problem was the color. Everything was much too red, particularly people's faces.
I assume the problem lies in my export settings, and I was hoping someome who has done this before could help me out. I tried a variety of settings, but they all looked bad and I'd prefer not to waste any more money on DVDs that look like hell.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me how I can get the DVD to look like it does on my computer? What setting would I need to apply? I have been all over the internet, looking at a lot of tutorials and forums, but havent found an answer yet.
Thanks a bunch!
Shawn
PS- My academic credentials have now been verified by Adobe, so if you know a way to do this using Encore, please let me know because in a few hours I will have access to that as well. Cheers!

Hey shooternz, thanks for the fast reply.
My DVD player is playing the DVDs so that's OK, the real problem is that they look so bad. I just bought a whole mess of DVDs because I thought I would just experiment while I was waiting to see if anyone could help me out, and the results have been frustrating. I tried it with all PAL settings and the first DVD I made was much better. That one didnt have all of the sections, just one of the chapters (I wanted to check quickly whether the setting I had was a good one, so I just put a short 7 minute clip on). Encouraged, I tried burning the whole disc using the same settings, but it came out crappy again. Much too red. This is really frustrating me. My computer is new, so I can't see why there would be any problem with the DVD burner, but if two DVDs with the same export settings are coming out differently, I'm thinking it might have to be a problem with either the DVD burner or the DVDs?
Can anybody suggest anything? I'm dying here.

Having a little trouble with the "export" dialog box

Hi all,
When I get to the export dialog box, I'm not able to type directly in the "Custom Name" space. I have to click around and fiddle with some of the drop-down menus (and then get back to the "name format" that I like) and only then can I triple-click or backspace on the former name and input a new name in the "Custom Name" blank.
Also, the "Export Versions" tab is highlighted, but hitting the "return" key doesn't make the export happen. I have to mouse up to that button and click it that way.
Is anyone else having any trouble with inputting information on the export page? And ideas?
Thanks as always.

Yes, the name format is Custom Name with Index. But when I click in the field, I can't edit it.
Mark,
For me, this preset is working well. Have you checked, if the preset for "Custom Name with Index" correct? You can verify it, by setting the "File Naming" format to "Edit". The preset should look like this:
I'd try to edit the preset, save it, and edit it back, to create a new preset file.
If that does not help, remove the user Aperture User Preferences, as described in this document: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
And as I said, hitting "return" doesn't start the export.
That also your "Export" button is not responding to return, even if it is highlighted in blue, is a sign, that your preferences file might have a problem.
Regards
Léonie
