Trying to edit a sequence with 1920x1080 footage and 720x480 footage

I am editing in Final Cut Pro 7. I have a sequence
Frame Size 1020x1080
Aspect Ratio
HDTV 1080i 16:9
Square
AppleProRes 422 LT
30 fps
with footage from the Canon 5d (AppleProRes 422 LT) 1920x1080 and I would like to add footage shot on miniDV tape on the Panasonic HVX200 (DV/DVCPRO 720x480, 29.97 fps). When I add the DV footage the aspect ratio is wrong. What do I need to be able to do to add this footage to my HD sequence and maintain the correct aspect ratio for the DV footage?
Thank You.

Your DV footage uses a different (non-square) pixel aspect ratio. It needs to be "redistorted" to match a square pixel format.
Put the DV material in the timeline.
double clic it
go to the motion tab
select "distort".
if the material is 4:3, the distort should be 12.5
If the material is 16:9, the distort should be -18.54
Of course, the DV material in its native pixel dimension will be less than 1/4 the HD screen.

The search bar can be very valuable...........
In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
Suggest you give that a try.

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

Using 24p footage and 60i footage together?

Hello,
I am working on a project that will combine 24p footage and 60i footage. What would be the best way to go about combining these two. It's for a short that is shot similar to Cloverfield. I want to use 60i footage for the hand held footage shoot by the actors who are capturing their experience. I'd prefer to have that footage shot on 24p as well and degrade the quality in post, but I don't want to run the risk of them dropping my DVX100a and destroying it. I don't have any experience with 60i, or combining two kinds of footage, so advice is much appreciated!
Thanks!

> that they are not true 30p but really 60i rendered to 30p
Well, I certainly can't speak for all of these cameras, but I have played around with some of this "30p over 60i" footage -- but most of this was from HDV cameras, not AVCHD. Avoid if you can. Basically, the luma is progressive and the chroma is interlaced.
I have a function (it's actually part of the dv2film and hd2sd functions) that will deinterlace only the chroma, so can recover greatly true progressive output... but this is an unmitigated a pain in the *** to deal with all the time, and you certainly lose at least a little chroma resolution. Avoid :)

GTX 470 or 570 for editing TIFF sequences with Mercury

Hello! II am making a short film with Cinema 4D and I'm thinking of getting either a GTX 470 or 570, does anyone know if using the mercury engine will actually improve editing speed with uncompressed 1080p TIFF sequences? All the prerendering slows down the editing process I'm on a i7-950 with 12 gb DDR3 and a ATI 5770 currently, my OS drive is also an SSD if that matters. My editing drives are just regular drives though, no RAID either. thanks!

I have a GTX 480 (with MPE hack) and a i7 980x, 24GB ram and a 3-disk Raid 0. I've never been able to get a TIFF sequence to playback in real time. The best I get is probably a choppy 4 frames per second. I know this doesn't answer your question entirely, but maybe it can help a tad.
I myself I'm trying to get find a way to playback TIFF sequences. I'm going to be setting up a 4-disk Raid 0 on an eSata raid box, but I'm thinking at some point it's just getting bottled necked at my port connection. Not sure. Others can probably shed more light on the Raids.
The best way I've been able to adapt so far is to create annoying proxy sequences (hence my repeat posts about Premiere needing proxy capabilities). I drop my TIFF sequence in a new sequence. Render it out in low rez. Drop that new low rez version onto the same sequence so now it has two--one HD 1080 and SD 720 (ok, so it's not really SD). I turn on the SD version and the other one off. I make my cuts and edits on my sequences and then when everythings all nice and purdy, I flip the switch back on the HD version and I'm ready for final rendering.
I have my "SD" version set at 720 so it's obviously smaller than the other clips so I don't inadvertantly leave it on for the final render.
Not a great workflow and adds some steps, but that's been my best workflow so far.

Editing a project with both True 16:9 footage and 4:3 footage w/ wide bars.

Hi everyone,
I have come across an interesting issue and really could use some suggestions here.
A friend and myself filmed a project using 1 Sony FX1 and a Panasonic DVX-100. Both of us set-up the DV footage to record as 16:9 widescreen thinking we would have the same look.
Once we captured the footage I realized that the Panasonic did not record true 16:9 aspect ratio, instead it recorded 4:3 and added the black bars on the top and bottom.
My issue now is seeing how the entire day the sony was the main camera in FCP I will set up the sequence with the DV NTSC Anamophic setting, but how can I now use the 4:3 (Panasonic) footage?
Can anyone suggest any ideas how I can use the 4:3 footage with blackbars in the 16:9 sequence and not make it look like there are is a sace on the side and top of the footage?
Thanks

I'd add here that you should be adjusting the SCALE the 4:3 footage...
wait...
IF the 4:3 footage comes in with the black on the side and the aspect ratio looks OK then scale it up to 133% or so. You'll loose a small bit of quality, but it won't matter too much and if you are going to colorize the footage you won't even be able to tell.
IF the 4:3 footage comes in looking squished -- everyone fat and short -- then you'll need to change each clip's aspect ratio to 33 or -33 I forget which and THEN scale it up.
You will loose the top and bottom, but one added plus is that you'll also be able to reframe your 4:3 shots up and down to get the right framing.
Good luck,
CaptM
