Using NTSC 720 X 480 Templates for HD 1440 X 1080

Okay so I'd like to use an NTSC template for an HD project. Is there any way of doing this? I have Motion 3 and it only offers SD versions of the template I want to use.
Is there a way to convert a 720 X 480 template to HD 1440 X 1080 ?

Thanks for the reply TCY. I can't confirm whether your instructions are correct or not. I decided to outsource this project and ended up finding a guy who has agreed to create the slides for me for just $150. Can't beat that. (I'm a producer not a post production guy.) Hopefully someone will be able to make use of your advice at a later time.
Best Regards,

IDVD 08 insist to transform NTSC 720 x 480 files in 640 x 480!!!

And of course smaller with a black box…
I've tried everything in vain.
It's the same If I select widescreen or 4/3 menus…
My files are mp4 H.264 files.
I'm quite desperate since I don't get WHY iDVD wants that DVDs look like 50 years old TV shows !
I looked at the forum and couldn't find any info relative to this problem.
I wonder if it's the fact that these files are Progressive. But I thought iDVD took care of it…

A TV uses rectangular pixels: 720x480.
A computer uses square pixels. So, those same pixels (720x480) are actually 640x480 and a computer. So this is normal.
The quality of your DVDs would be a separate and subjective issue. However, I can suggest that you NOT use H.264 (very compressed format) as the format for iDVD (which does it's own compression) to work with. I would give iDVD a DV or AIC file.

FCP X transcoding Sony HDR-FX7 (1080i) to NTSC 720 x 480. Results are not pretty.

Help, please? I shot some interview footage for my student documentary film with a Sony HDR-FX7 (1080i). FCP X transcodes it to NTSC 720 x 480 on import and it looks awful. Have now learned the difference between interlaced and progressive!. The film project has 1080p footage as well and won't deinterlace in Compressor or JES. Not sure what to do: can't reshoot. I've spent hours on Google and YouTube and can't find a solution or a viable workaround. Would welcome your help; thanks!

I don't know what you're doing but there is no way FCP imports that media to 720x480, unless the camera is set to downconvert on output. iLink has to be switched off.

[Missing] Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) option

This happened in 2 edit suites. I fixed it in edit 1 by resetting PRAM and trashing prefs. Edit 2 won't see it.
I can capture via Firewire from this deck (Sony M35U), so I obviously have a connection. System Profiler shows the deck and all its info, so it's obviously recognized by the computer. If I capture via the AJA, I can still set deck control over Firewire, so it's obviously THERE.
Yet, when I go to View/Video Output, it's not even an option. I don't even get the [Missing] Firewire NTSC 720 x 480 option. It's just not there. I have all the AJA options, but not the FIrewire ones. Anyone seen this disappear like that?
Tried:
Resetting PRAM several times
Trashing prefs (all of 'em)
Disconnecting all cables and reconnecting
Checked all of the settings on the deck several times
Changed Firewire cable twice
WOndering if this is an AJA conflict, but it works now in the other edit suite, which is a clone of this one. Weird and frustrating.
Haven't tried setting up a new user yet, gonna try that now. If you have a clue, please clue me in…

All the settings were exactly the same. I changed nothing. It was a weird experience, but on a whim I decided to simply swap the decks in the rooms, wondering if there was some corrupt communication from the decks via the Firewire. Seems that was the case, because once I switched rooms, everything worked. Glad it worked out, because I was about to send the decks in for repair, having tested the ports, the Firewire cables, and FCP, and all came out working fine. Can't explain it, but it works.
Thanks.

NTSC 720 X 480 4:3??? This format isn't' actually 4:3...

I've come across some confusion in terms of exporting the proper 4:3 format for viewing on TV. Why does it label the format 'NTSC' when really it is not 4:3 and in fact stretches your video to fit that ratio?
It ends up bringing the video down to 640 X 480 but not without distorting it first.
Any answers? Ideas?

If you are creating video for standard definition broadcast (or DVD distribution) you must maintain a 720 x 480 rectangular pixel image. That specification hasn't and will never change (for reverse compatibility purposes).
If you are creating for high definition you need to research which format is required, there are high def specs that use rectangular pixels for distribution and convert to square for display.

720 x 480 preset for FCP?

What preset do I use to work on a movie captured at 720 x 480? When I import into FCP with DV NTSC preset, the aspect ratio is wrong. The movie appears squished into 4:3 format. The movie is for computer display, not TV. I captured the movie from a Google Earth tour, with Snapz Pro, using animation codec, with no audio.

Export works fine. I have a 720x480 movie. So it was just a display problem. No it was a pixel aspect-ratio problem. I must study how that affects my work. I've noticed this type of aspect ratio display problem with several movies on YouTube, for example. Another problem I've now noticed with the Snapz Pro movie is that it captured at 10 fps, which FCP multiplies to 28.78 fps. But that's another topic. Thanks everyone for your instant help!

Using an MS Excel like template for data entry into an Oracle table

Does anybody know of a way, or development tool, that has the look and feel of MS Excel but can be used for data entry and be saved to an Oracle table and be embedded into a JSP page? I am currently using iSupport and have a need to allow users to enter data into an MS Excel like template, once the user saves the service request I need for the values to be saved in the attribute fields of the service request. I need the ability to map the cells of the template to the fields in the Oracle table. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can I use PrE 11 HD DVD templates for PrE 12?

Hello,
I have PrE 11 and just installed PrE 12. I am wondering (hoping) that I can use the PrE 11 HD DVD templates that I have already downloaded for my PrE 12 installation. It is unfortunate that Adobe now makes us download these templates as not everyone has a lightning fast internet connection.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I have an important add on for the Premiere Elements 11 user who goes on to Premiere Elements 12 and wants to use the Premiere Elements 11 saved Online Folder (complete) as a replacement for the Premiere Elements 12 Online Folder (incomplete) to avoid the same slow Content download experience of Premiere Elements 11.
This not going to be a one on one swap of the whole Premiere Elements 12 Online Folder (incomplete) with the whole saved Premiere Elements 11 Online Folder (complete).
The 11 and 12 Online Folders are the same, except for the two new folders within the 12 Online Folder.
So, consider:
Premiere Elements 11 Online Folder
Clips Arts Folder
DVD Templates Folder
Movie Themes Folder
Title Template Folder
but
Premiere Elements 12 Online Folder
Clips Arts Folder
DVD Templates Folder
Movie Themes Folder
Title Template Folder
Music Scores Folder (NEW)
Sound Effects Folder (NEW)
Details are included my blog post where I tried to put this information together.

Using a pdf as a template for packaging design?

Hello,
This is my first foray into indesign and I have been given the simple task of an design for an insert for blister pack. I have a pdf showing the size and shape of the blister pack and the location of the product, but not sure how I can use this in indesign. Can I simply place it indesign and then work over the top of it or is there a better way...its' an odd shape hence why I can't simply replicate in the layout in indesign.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

You can if it’s actual size. Put it on the bottom layer, lock it and make it non printing.

Use one row as a template for new ones

I'm one of those people abusing a spreadsheet as a database, so except for the header all my rows have the same formatting and formulas.
Unfortunately the only way to add a row like this is copying one and adjusting it. This means I can't have hidden columns. An alternative would be keeping a row with default values around, but I sort and filter a lot so it'd be hard to find. Maybe in another table.
Anyway, the Number manual says "If all the body cells in a column above the new row contain the same formula or cell control, the formula or cell control is repeated in the new row."
Could anyone get this to work? For me it repeats formatting but not controls like steppers, and no formulas.
PS yes, I've looked at Bento

Lachla,
First, yes, this feature does work. I suppose that it's possible that while you think your table is built according the the requirements, it may not be. Are you sure that your headers are actually in a Numbers "Header Row"? And, are you sure that all your Body rows are identical, allowing of course for relative addressing?
I'm suspicious because you say:
Unfortunately the only way to add a row like this is copying one and adjusting it.
There should be no adjustment necessary if the rows are identical. Adjustment for relative addressing would be automatic after a Copy/Paste.

[Missing] Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)

Everything is properly hooked up, so I shouldn't be receiving this problem correct?
I tried hooking up a monitor, as soon as I did that it said the FireWire connection was missing, even though it's hooked up along side the S-Video wire to my tv from the cam.

Did you recently install any updates? Which ones? If you've got Software Update set to automatically look for updates, then you'll need to look in /Library/Receipts and see what's been installed recently and when.
Report back about that, please.
Also, sometimes this problem can be resolved by powering down the computer and the deck or camcorder, then starting up again.
But your G5 is recognizing the device, it just doesn't have it on file, so it just says it's a unknown device. That's good, meaning the problem isn't with the camcorder or VCR, or with the FW cable.
BTW, which camcorder or VCR is this?

In settings it states [Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)?

Where did it go? How can I get it back?

Welcome to the forum.
This means FCP did not find your camera/DV deck when it started. The causes for this can be many. The usual suspects are:
1. You did not have the camera turned on before you started FCP. Try VIEW>REFRESH A/V DEVICES. On some systems, the camera needs to be turned on BEFORE the computer as this operation does not seem to repoll the firewire bus.
2. Your FCP preferences have become corrupt. Download and run FCP Rescue.
3. Your Quicktime installation has become compromised due to system, quicktime or FCP upgrades. This is often solved by a reinstall of Quicktime after deleting any Quicktime receipts in the user/receipts folder
4. Your fireports are incapacited. Shut down and unplug all connections. Wait a few minutes and reconnect and reboot.
5. Your firewire cable is damaged. Replace the cable.
6. Firewire ports on either your camera or computer are fried. Time to send the device in for repair.
good luck.
