Trying to export a custom sized piece to h264 at a smaller dimension

My project is set at 1600px x 287px. I am using audio and video in this piece and I need to export them as one mp4. I set it to render at half for an output of 800 x 144. I wanted to change the output module to H264, but it does nt indicate that it sees that I am trying to redner smaller than my original. When I changes the settings in my render queue to h264 it completely ignores my custom setting. I can't get around this...
I get an error that says:
After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media IO Plugin:
There is a mismatch between Output Module setting and Transcode Settings.
Please verify your settings and try again.
In valid framesize/framerate for this Level. Please loewer the frame dimensions, Frame Rate or
increase the profile and Level and try again.
Medial02 error: 0xc00b0002
Frame dimensions out of bounds
(5027 :: 12)
Any thoughts as to what I can do differently?

Yepp, as Sébastien said, work with the 4.1 profile level. It's pretty much the only one that allows custom resolutions outside established formats. All others use fixed matrices that cannot cope with this. Be aware, though, that even in some player softwares such clips do not play at all because of the aforementioned behavior. Just as for encoding, playback is often based on highly optimized routines that only work on standardized resolutions. For further finetuning also consider the usual suspects - SUPER©, ffmpeg, MPEG Streamclip. Those would allow you to transcode, ratehr than fully encode from scratch if e.g. you need to tweak data rates or sort out audio issues....

Paper mismatch on Envy 114 - trying to do custom-sized paper

I just got the Envy 114. It's been printing wonderfully for letter-sized documents.
Issue is: I have custom-sized paper for invitations - 5X6.5, 5X6, 5X5.5 & 5X5. I am not able to print from Microsoft Word 2007, I'm on Windows XP.
I tried to follow the directions on the support page, but when I try to choose the "paper size", there is no "custom" listing on the pull down list to add a custom size....Help!

Hi there kellybrooklyn,
It seems custom print sizes may not be available with your printer software. Check out this post by Travis_C, he details using an alternate generic driver to obtain the custom print sizes you are looking for:

What is your export process for printing custom-sized books?

I will be printing my first custom-sized book created in Aperture.
Anyone have much experience doing this?
I am assuming that exporting to pdf and then sending that file to print is the process, but I'm wondering if the compression will affect the image quality enough to be concerned for a 9''x9'' book?

Lots of experience here.
I outsource albums either as single page or double spread. Unfortunately Aperture only allows single page export, not as a full spread (required by some printers).
Unfortunately the Export options are a little limited, so read on
If you click on the Print button for your custom sized book, you'll get a dialog. Choose the PDF button at the bottom and a bunch of options will appear.
If you just want to export a proof for a client to review, you can select Save PDF to Aperture. The files will import as 200dpi JPEGs / TIFFs depending upon the option you choose. You can then export to a sharing service / web album etc.
If you want to export at a different dpi then DON'T choose the Save PDF to folder as JPEG option... again you'll get just 200dpi images. So what you can do is choose the Save as PDF option. When you choose that it will export the whole book as single pages in a PDF, with the embedded JPEGs (fully quality jpeg 12) at 350dpi (I know as I've checked this)....
You can then do 2 things:
1. For services that require a single pages, run an automator action to run through the PDF and export the images at your desired DPI and change the colour profile (eg sRGB). Your images are then exported to the same folder. Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Folder%20as%20JPEG.zip
2. For services that require a double page spread instead, run an automator action to run through the PDF, change the colour profile and DPI and then import to Aperture.
What I do is have an entirely separate project called Album Proofs and import all images into there. When the action runs, it will ask where to put the images - place them in Album Proofs. I then have a custom book size that is twice the width of the album you are creating (e.g. if making a 12x9, the size is 24x9) with no margins or spacing. Then create a template album (you can reuse by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Book) that has two images per page, each image taking up EXACTLY half of the page (again no margins or spacing). I then drag the images I imported into this template, then auto-fill unplaced images. Your images are then layed out as spreads... So now what you do is re-export using the Save as PDF print option. Then run the action described in 1 above.
Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Aperture%20as%20JPEG.zip . If it doesn't work use the other action above and just import manually.
Hope this helps

Default printer does not appear in custom-sized templates

I posted this question in the 'Pages' community, but received no replies, so I am possting it again here.
I now have an Epson XP-750 printer-scanner. I have set it as my default printer in System Preferences. When I create a document in Pages whose paper size is one of the standard ones catered for by the XP-750 or open a previously saved one in one of those sizes, or I open a document from one of the templates provided by Pages, the printer shown in Page Setup is always the XP-750. But if I create a document in a custom size (such as a 9 cm x 14 cm correspondence card), Page Setup shows 'Any Printer' until I re-set it to 'XP-750', and even if I save the document or save it as a template and then re-open it, the printer is always shown as 'Any Printer'.
Is there any way of making the XP-750 'stick' as the printer shown in Page Setup even in these custom documents?

Thanks for this, Joe Bailey. I am ignorant of programming and cerainly wouldn't dream of trying to make such a modification. But the interesting thing is that if I create a document in MS Word and give it a custom size, the printer's name and paper size are retained after saving, closure and re-opening, though they are not retained in Pages.
I want to use Pages for my custom-sized correspondence cards because the database that I use for mail merge is in Numbers. I suppose I could export it as Excel and use that with a Word correspondence card, but it all gets a bit messy, especially when it comes to updating the database, and will be a lot of work, as I have several such cards with different letter-heads, etc.
I contacted Epson about this problem, and they said it was a matter for the application in which the custom-sized document was created — i.e. Pages in my case — so according to Epson it is not a matter of the printer driver.

Problems printing on custom sized paper.

Hello all,
I am trying to iron out my problems with printing on custom sized tractor paper (using an impact printer). Every time I print a test page, the printer behaves as if it was loaded with tractor paper that is 11 inches long, rather then the 7 inches that the forms are on.
Before I list my code, let me explain everything that I have done. I am running Windows XP, so I went to the Printers and Faxes folder, clicked File > Server Properties, and created a custom form size (8.5" wide by 7" long with zero margins). Going back to the Printers and Faxes folder, I right clicked on the impact printer and clicked properties. From there I clicked the Device tab and selected my custom form that I had created for the tractor feed section. I then clicked the general tab and clicked the printing preferences. From there I clicked the Paper/Quality tab and selected Tractor Feed for the source. Then I clicked the advance button and selected my custom form for paper size. I also changed the resolution to 360X180.
The printer itself has hardware settings for paper size. I've went through the menu and selected 7 inches for the form length.
Now going to the code, I created the paper object and set it size to 612 for width and 504 for height. I also changed the ImageableArea to the size of the paper (which I think eliminates the margins), and set its orientation to 0, 0. I then set the paper object to the PageFormat, and used drawString to test my settings.
Program compiles fine. When I run it and click the button, I select the correct printer. I also went through the preferences to make sure that all the setting are correct (especially to make sure my custom form is selected.). The closest I can get the string to the corner of the page is 75, 80. On the paper it measures 7/8" from the left, and 1" from the top.
I have tested my custom form settings with word 2007. I was able to get the text on the very corner of the paper, and the printer was able to determine where the next form started. I believe that my problem lies within my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo). I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
*if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

Offline Material Message when trying to Export

PP CC 7.1
Win 7 Pro 64
I am trying to export a sequence and whenever I try to export it I receive the "Offline material is present..." warning dialogue. I'm well aware of what offline material is, how to relink, etc. I visually inspected every single piece of media in the project and every piece of media is online.
I exported the sequence anyway and when I played it back all of the media was in the final output file.
Is there a way in the project to search for offline content? I don't think there is but figured maybe someone else has encountered this and/or knows of a resolution.
I would like to locate the media (if any) that Premiere is saying is offline thus throwing the offline material warning.

I was referred to this page by a link in the NewBlueFX support forum (http://support.newbluefx.com/newbluefx/topics/titler_pro_2_premiere_cc_on_windows_7_titles _ok_on_timeline_but_show_up_as_media_offline_in_render?utm_content=reply_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification&reply%5bid%5d=14012934#reply_140129340).
I think there is a confusion / conflict in advice here. The thread starts with the tile including "Media Offline" messages and farther below that in the proposed resolutions - a suggestion is promoted to resolve "Media Pending" messages - and as far as I am aware these are different and show in different places..?
"Media Offline" messages as put forward to be the issue are happening for me at the export to Media Encoder initiation. Inspecting all content within the project - nothing is listed as offline or missing and certainly opening the project no media is pending.
I am not a seasoned pro - and am in my first year with PP - so please don't skin me alive if I have this wrong...

Custom sized prints

I have been trying unsuccessfully for hours to print a panorama on custom sized paper (5x20). I was able to print panoramas on the earlier version of Aperture (1.5) with my Epson R2400, but cannot on 2.1. In the print dialog box, I set paper size as custom 5x20. In the layout options, I have tried scaling to "custom 5x20", "fit entire page" and "fit entire image". I have tried every paper tray/paper feed on the printer and the printer will not print. Watching the print que in the printer utility while I hit the print button - it reads "printer ready", then "data being sent to printer", then the printer stops without ever starting. I try and resume the printer but it immediately reverts back to a "Stopped" mode.
Has anyone had any success printing panoramas? Does anyone have any suggestions? Help please. This is so frustrating.
Thanks.

Chris and Allen,
Thanks for your comments. I tried everything I could think of working only in Aperture, including Allen's suggestions and nothing worked. After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with a work around using iPhoto. Here are the steps:
1. Go into iPhoto and click on "page setup" in the "file" menu.
2. Click on "paper size" and then click "manage custom size".
3. Define the custom size (for margins, I selected the option to let the Epson 2400 set the margins), name it and save it.
4. Close out of iPhoto and go into Aperture.
5. In Aperture, in the "file menu" go to "print image".
6. In the "Paper Size" dialogue box, the newly defined custom size created in iPhoto will appear. Select that as the paper size option.
7. In the "Layout Option" dialogue box, select "fit entire page"
8. In the "Border Option" dialogue box, set the appropriate margins.
9. Finish with the "printer settings" of choice and then print.
Its a cumbersome process, but it doesn't really take that long and I have printed several panoramas now using this work around.

Lightroom 5.3 Export "Short Edge" sizing doesn't work

Exporting images in LR 5.3 with resize setting of "short edge" does not re-size the image at all when the option for "do not enlarge" is checked. Instead it simply exports the full sized image. This happens even if you are trying to downsize an image (in my case from a 24MP image to one that is 800px wide), in other words you are not enlarging the photos so the option for "do not enlarge" should not apply.
Other sizing options like "long edge" appear to work as expected.
Have tried restarting LR but no effect. Have tried changing export setting and then changing back to "short edge", again no effect.
I'm sure this was working in the previous version......

Help! Trying to export 1080p Timeline, But get 'glitches' on playback

I am Trying to export HD file that will play without 'glitches'
The timeline plays beautifully--no problems.
I use Adobe Exporter and I have tried MPEG2 Adobe profiles, standard and my own custom presets= glitches are still there, just at different places.
So I figure I would try to render the entire timeline, still glitches. Audio wise: Sound like dv digital dropouts-- Videowise: can't see other than the the frame stuters for a frame or two then starts again--but it just seems like no matter what I try, I just get different spots of the glitches
Anybody have experience fixing such problem?
My system: AMD Phenom II X6 Windows 7 Pro and 8GB Ram, CS5 with the latest update for the GTX 285, which I am using.
If you have any advice, please respond. I have a tight deadline.
Thank you!

>glitches are still there, just at different places
That usually means there is some kind of software running in the background that "wakes up" once in awhile to check to see if there is anything it needs to do... and every time it wakes up and STEALS the computer's attention, that causes a Premiere stumble

Exporting/Importing customized rack settings' values - Soundbooth

Has anyone ever found a way to export your customized Soundbooth rack settings, like in the case where you'd be uninstalling Soundbooth from one machine to install it on another machine? Has anyone come across a way to export and then import your rack settings' values?
I tried one Adobe Tech Support rep's direction which was, "... copy the same folder [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folder] of the old setting and paste into the same settings. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folder". That resulted in a error on launch of Soundbooth, preventing Soundbooth from opening at all following the folder copy-over.
So has anyone had any better success externally saving your custom rack settings and then importing them to another instance of Soundbooth?
Thanks so much.

I forgot to mention the versions that I had.
Portal 3.0.6.6.5 ( from 9ias 1.0.2.0.1)
Oracle 817
on solaris 8.
Richard,
Thanks for that information. Do you know if
there is any quick workaround for the problem
that I described above which I can use until
