Turning footage into Progressive rather than Interlaced.

I would like to export a sequence in progressive rather than interlaced frame sequence to achieve a more filmic effect. What I'd like to know is:
1. How do you do it? I normally export to a straight 'Make Movie' Quicktime export.
2. Does it increase file size substantially?
3. Can you see the difference between progressive and interlaced on a computer LCD monitor?
Thanks,
Lulworth

I'm not aware of any way in FCE to convert material from interlaced to progressive. You can deinterlace material, but I don't think you can convert it to progressive.
If I were going to do it, I'd use MPEG Streamclip to convert the material before importing it into FCE. Keep in mind, however that FCE only supports 720p progressive and yes the file sizes will be larger because you actually have to convert to Apple Intermediate Codec, and I think 720P AIC runs about 25GB per hour. (DV is only about 13 GB per hour).
You might see some difference between interlaced & progressive video on a computer LCD, but I don't think it will be much different.
I'd suggest looking at Graeme Nattress' excellent Film Effects filters to achieve more of a 'film look'.
What is your goal in trying to do this? (Not just that you want a film look, but what is your target - DVD, TV, HDTV, web video, etc?)

Turning footage into snapshots?

In previous versions of this application, you could turn a frame into a snapshot... I'm having a hard time figuring out if you can do that with iMovie '09. Did Photobooth end all that?

OK I know this is completely off topic, and I apologize, but I was hoping you could help me on this one.
How can I turn a hyperlink into a word as you did on this post with the word YES. I've very often seen it as well with the word HERE and many other words.
Again I apologize for going off topic, but Appleman and others have so much information to share, I was hoping I would get an answer. I've searched the internet and have gotten some info, but it's usually some programming code that I have trouble understanding. Is there a simplified way to do this.
If you have the time to explain I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Adam

Can I add a 'Linkedin Follow' button into muse rather than just a button.

Thanks for you earlier answer, but to expand a little, when I paste the html in the button appears, in design mode as a large lillac box, which I have to guess the final position of the button which I don't see, view in preview mode and then back to design for final movement. I simply paste the html in the 'insert HTML' in the 'Object' drop down menu. Just eems strange when everything is design orientated that this is so clumsy, probably me tho. Can you enlighten. Thanks

Yes you can.
Sounds like maybe you didn't paste quite the correct code. Make sure you copy all the code from LinkedIn, including the opening and closing HTML tags, and paste that into Muse.
If your page looks scrambled after inserting custom HTML, you can export/publish/ftp upload your site, and check if the HTML is valid using this tool:
http://validator.w3.org
It should point out if you're missing a closing tag or have other invalid HTML...

How to import MP3 with file name into library, rather than tag?

I've been given a CD with about 200 MP3s of lectures. They are to be listened to in order, and the file names reflect the order number, like "lecture 1", "lecture 2", etc. However, when I drag them all into iTunes, the names in the iTunes library don't include the file names - they are simply "lecture", which I guess must come from a tag in the MP3 file. So iTunes is ignoring the file name and thus I end up with 200 entries in my iTunes library that can't be ordered properly. How can I get it to use the file name when importing?
Mike

If you have your iTunes preferences set to keep your iTunes Music folder organized, it's possible that even the file names have changed according to the files' tags. In that case, you'll need to (at least temporarily) disable this option and import the files from your CD again.
Once you're sure the files have been successfully added to your iTunes library and the file names kept intact, you can use the Filenames to Song Names script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes.
This should get everything sorted out.

Email goes into outbox rather than sending

How come when I'm away from my house and I try to send an email it will go into my outbox and will give me an error that it doesn't recognize my email address?

Sounds like the account does not have an authenticated SMTP server.
Who is the email account provider?

Is there a way to download emailed videos from iphone 4 directly into iphoto rather than the finder

How can I download an iphone 4 video someone has emailed me directly into iphoto, how can I get the ones I have already downloaded from my finder to iphoto?

You can't. Iphoto will only import movies taken by the phone directly. Move the video to the Mac and then import it.
how can I get the ones I have already downloaded from my finder to iphoto?
Same as any other material: File -> Import to Library or drag them to the iPhoto Window or iPhoto icon on the dock.
However, not all video formats are supported.

Best way to combine HDV & DV footage into the same project

I'm about to edit a new project that is sourced from 75% HDV footage (1440X1080) and 25% DV(720X576) footage. I'll be outputting the final result as a widescreen 16:9 DVD initially, but I also want to do a HD-BluRay later on.
What is the best way to upscale the DV footage so that it will render at the same scale as the HDV footage? My initial attempts involved setting up a 1080i25 HDV project, and importing the HDV & DV clips into that, thinking that when I did the render it would upsize the DV clips, but it doesn't seem to do it. Would I be better off creating the DVD in reverse by downscaling the HDV footage, and creating a 16:9 DV project instead.
Any suggestions gratefully received?

Tks for that advice guys. Re-Sizer looks the best for my future needs, but I probably don't have time to learn it for this project.
From the other reading I've done, if I don't use ReSizer or an equivalent, it seems that to get the best DVD quality I'd be better off creating an SD project and downscaling the HDV footage for that, rather than creating a HDV project and upscaling the SD, and then creating the DVD from that. Compression logic would tell me that upscaling the DV footage in PP and then sending it back down to SD for the DVD mastering is going to result in a lot of ****** looking original DV footage.
Because I'm under severe time-constraints regarding the DVD, I think for this one time-only, I'll do a seperate SD project for the DVD, and then redo it as a HDV project for the Blu-Ray release in a few months.
Sound logical?

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

Progressive footage, automatic timeline makes an interlaced timeline?

This is weird. Why does adobe premiere pro CS5.5 take my 30F footage and when I drag it into the "New Sequence" button, it creates an interlaced sequence? How do I know this? Well I am exporting it right now, H.264 Blu Ray and Adobe Media Encoder tells me the video information: NTSC, 1920X1080, 29.97fps, Upper.
Why is it upper? This footage is progressive and premiere pro should know this and not waste 19 hours of my life.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

I had this same problem with some footage from my HV40.
I dropped different clips from the same camera on the make new sequence icon and Premiere would read it correctly and sometimes it wouldn't.
It was the strangest thing. The camera never changed settings and I would also try dropping the same clip multiple times and Premiere would read it differently each time. It made me watch my setting more closely.

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

Reposting this - bringing dvd footage into FCP - progressive scan

I occasionally have clients that need me to bring footage into their projects from a dvd or vhs. I'm looking into getting something that can do both NTSC & PAL and I've come across this product:
Sharp DV-NC80
6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VHS/S-VHS VCR & DVD, CD-R, V-CD Combo Player - Multi System, Multi Zone
My only dilemma is that the dvd player does not have progressive scan. Can anyone let me know if that should matter or not and what progressive scan is for? (I read the jagged edge article, but does progressive scan affect how FCP digitizes dvd material as well?) Thank you.

Unless you are bringing the material in via a capture card, you can't take advantage of the 480p scanrate anyway...

HT201269 I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one. I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone

I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one. I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone carrier. Question is how do I turn my iMessage off through a computer that is not a mac.

Wiki file attachments - can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page?

Can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page? This would enable users to open (and edit) the original server hosted document rather than downloading a static copy that can't be edited and synced back into the wiki page.
As a workaround I've tried attaching an alias to a file but it doesn't work - the wiki instead uploads the aliased file.
From what I can work out, the default wiki behaviour is to upload a document to a wiki page, which creates a copy of the uploaded document in the wiki database. This copy has no connection to the original document. It can be downloaded and edited, but the edits are not saved back into the wiki hosted version of the document.
I'd like to be able to upload a link or alias to a document (with preview please!) already on the server. A user could then preview the document or click to open and edit it.
The only way I can do this at the moment is to create a link "afp://123.../doc.rtf" to the original. This is timeconsuming and confusing for non-technical users and doesn't offer the benefits of the attach function (ie document preview).
Is there any way the wiki can be configured to link to documents already on the server using the attach functionality?

An update for anyone in a similar situation.
Patch 3944727 for 9.0.4.1 that solves this issue: "USER LOV IASM11SHIP EDIT USER LOV SHOULD SHOW THE NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE." However, the patch is mutually exclusive with the latest CPU's and there's no plan to merge the pacthes given the dwindling support for 9.0.4.1. So that patch is pretty much worthless.
I've been told that this patch is included in newer portal versions, so the real solution is an upgrade.
