Video properties/settings

Ok. Not sure where to start really so here goes. I've made a video which isnt working properly when uploaded to facebook. Basically it no longer plays at 16:9 ration but squeezes in to fit in the width and makes the video taller to fit. Not sure why its doing this as Facebook does support the 16:9 aspect ratio. Firstly what could be wrong here. Secondly what would you suggest when setting up a new FCPX project what should be my settings i.e. FPS, Aspect ratio etc. I am in the uk so I will be using PAL I know that nuch. I don't know what the footage was shot at though. Probably standard but should it matter that much ?
Any pointers please?

I think I might have answered my own question. I think I set the project to anamorphic which would mean I'll have to start over again. Cos you can't change movie settings once you've started importing everything?
What would be the advised settings for a project for a 16:9 aspect ratio, FPS etc? It will probably be only viewed online somewhere I.e. Facebook or a website etc
Hope that is all clear:)

  • A/V settings - missing video playback settings

    I am a new FCP user (5 months) but have not been having too much trouble. I have been on Avid for 5 years plus; Thursday I imported some Avid NTSC 720/480 footage into Final Cut (29.97 fps of course) - which displays successfully. But now I cannot return to the settings I need to edit material in HDV 23.98 fps projects. The video playback settings for HDV 24p 60i are now all missing/deselected. What is more, the program is crashing a lot. No sound, no video playback. Clearly we need to make different projects in different admin users for Avid product - but how do we get our settings back? Help!

    There is no such thing as HDV 24p60i... it's one or the other. In fact, you should be able to import or capture that material, place a clip in any sequence, and FCP will ask you if you'd like to set the sequence's settings to match the clip's properties, and you simply say yes.
    Where are you having the problem? Which camera was used? There is an "easy setup" for HDV cameras, but they are different a bit from camera to camera... Sony is different than Canon for example... might try those too.
    Try trashing your preferences for FCP found in User/library/preferences/fcp user data folder. There are three red and white icon'd files there. Just trash them, and they will rebuild to factory settings when you relaunch FCP.

  • TV@ Plus, what video capture settings to use?

     I have a TV@ Plus and am unsure what video capture settings to use. I've had it for several months and solved my audio problems and need to know what Video Input Format, Capture Format (Profile), Capture - Size, Quality, Bit Rate and Audio Format settings to use. Should I use the same settings for all input sources or do I use different settings for CATV and S-video inputs? It seems to be OK with my current settings as far as capture and playback goes, I'm OK on the hardware part but with tech detatails I'm a bit  .
     I will be using it to capture from CATV, DVD and VCR input sources for later recording to DVD's. I use a GoDVD! CT-2 connected to the S-video input for recording Macrovision protected media to the HDD.
     My computer sound is monitor mounted stereo speakers.
     Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

    I already had transferred and converted some of my old VHS and VCD movie collections into DVDs (using Composite Input).
    The higher the bit rate the better quality video output you will have - but bigger file size.
    To give you an example:
    A 2 hour video captured on MPEG set at 4000/bps will be translated it to 3.58GB. More than enough to be written on a 4.7 DVD.
    For audio bit rates, you can choose from 128/bps to 224/bps. As for me I set it to 224/bps. Again the bigger bit rates the better audio output. And don't forget to slide up the audio record level to 100%. That will give you a better and clearer recorded audio output.

  • IPod Video - Display Settings (Title, Artist, Album...)

    I am trying to figure out if I can alter my IPod Video display settings. When a song is playing, it shows the album art with the song title, artist, and album adjacent. Is there a away to change this display so that it does not display the album while the song is currently playing?

    Three issues here.  The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu.  Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area.  However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
    JCP,
    Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file.  From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange.  You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
    If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

  • No Preview Box in "Standard Video Compression Settings"

    Hi:
    I'm taking a class in Photoshop CS5.  Our textbook is Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in A Book and we've reached Lesson 12 Working with 3D Images.  At the end of the chapter we made a 3 second Quicktime (H.264 Compression) movie.  According to the book, after choosing Quicktime Export in the Render Video diolog box, it should open a Movie Settings diolog box which, after choosing Videe Settings button, opens the Standard Video Compression Settings box.  In the lower right of that box there should be a Preview window showing the effect of the compression on a frame of the animation.  For me the preview window is blank even though I can compress the file. I've moved the animation's timeline current time indicator to the beginning, middle, and end of the animation but to no effect.
    I'm rumming a Macbook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of SDRAM.  The computer does support OpenGL which appears to be chosen in the 3D section of Photoshop's preferences.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Don't worry about file size at this point; the determining factor is program length. A single layer 4.7GB DVD will hold about two hours of video. The compression is handled in the DVD authoring application.
    From FCE, just export to QuickTime Movie (do not use QT Conversion). If you'll burn the DVD on the same computer, make sure the "self-contained" box is unchecked for a much quicker export.

  • SEO Properties settings not showing in Term Driven Pages tab in Term Store

    Hi,
    Many people have documented the ability of setting up SEO properties to a term in the term store in SharePoint 2013, but I was not able to find a place to do that.
    Can anybody help me on figuring out how to set SEO properties for a given term via the term store UI ?
    I read somewhere that this can be achieved by setting the properties in the Term - Driven pages tab of a term but can't seems to have such option available.

  • Flash video -  best settings

    I want to find out what the best practice is in creating a
    flash video from
    an edited video clip for use on the web.
    I have edited a video clip down to 5 minutes and have
    rendered it to an .avi
    file. I then imported the .avi into Flash and have encoded
    using:
    1. Progressive download
    2. On2 VP6
    3. 15fps frame rate
    4. Medium quality
    5. Video size 320x213 (213 comes up when I set width to 320
    and maintain
    aspect ratio)
    6. Audio data rate - 16 kbps
    This all works and the quality is fine when I insert the
    flash video into
    Dreamweaver, but the file size it over 16mb and I've seen
    that other people
    have file sizes that are 1/2 that for 5 minute videos.
    What can I do better and still maintain quality?
    Does it matter whether I render as .avi, .mpg, or other?
    Should my Flash video encoding settings be different?
    Thanks
    Susan

    Thanks Jose. That was very helpful. I wasn't able to get it
    down to 8 mb,
    but did but was able to cut down the file size to something
    more reasonable
    without loss of quality.
    Good idea also about testing with a short video clip.

  • Video Quality Settings

    What happened to the video quality settings that used to be in older versions of flash player? When I used to right click over the video/animation I would get a window that let me select low, medium or high quality for the content being played. I liked this feature as I have a slow connection speed and the low quality setting would speed things up. Should I downgrade to one of the previous versions or is that possible? Thanks ; )

    I forgot to actually put what my question was. My question following my previous ramble was can I change the video quality settings and if so where do I go to do it?

  • Fcpx: the video properties of this clip are not recognized.

    The original footage is 300fps hi-speed video, shot with Casio Exilim EX-F1. Resolution 512x384, framerate 29.97
    When I imported the footage into FCPX, I marked "Transcoding: Create optimized media". So I did.
    Now I start a new project, drag the clip into the timeline and I get the message "The video properties of this clip are not recognized." andI can choose to import the clip as 640x480. But I don't want that, and why have I just transcoded into pro-res if FCPX itself cannot recognize the clip afterwards? What am I missing here?
    For the record: I also bought Compressor4 and Motion5 so if they are needed for my solution, no problem. I tried importing the clip first into Compressor4 but couln't find a way to export into a FCPX-project.
    Short note about myself: long time Premiere user, recently switched to Apple + FCPX.

    I can't show you screenshots because I don't have access to FCP at the moment. Take the first clip you want to be in the project. Open it into the timeline using the Open in Timeline function. You can now blade this clip however you like. Cut the beginning, cut the end. Slice it however you want it. The audio will be separate from the video. You can collape it into a compound clip if you want. This only happens with the first clip. Leave the timeline open. In the event event browser, find the second shot you want. Mark In and Out points. Press the E key to append it to timeline. You want to insert a a different shot in the beginning. Move the playhead in the timeline back to the beginning. Find the shot you want in the browser. Mark in and out points. Press the W key to insert the shot. You want to add transitions. Select the clips in the timeline and press Cmd-T. You want to add a timeline. Put the playhead in the timeline wherever you want. Double click the title to put it into the timeline. Add more shots into the timeline. Do you see what's happening? You are editing your program into that first clip's timeline. The dimensions of that first clip remain intact in that timeline. When you export you're exporting that clip's timeline. As I said, it's not ideal, but it's a workaround. Basically FCP only works with standard video formats.

  • Best QuickTime Audio/Video Compression Settings?

    Hello there,
    Before inserting an iMovie to an iDVD project, I must compress it in QuickTime as it won't fit if "shared" as full-quality.
    What Audio and Video compression settings will provide, preserve, or enhance the audio/video content? I have the latest version of QuickTime Pro and am pretty savy with it.
    Thank you very much for any feedback you may provide.

  • No video and settings pop-up doesn't display

    I get audio but no video.  Tried to run through the troubleshooting steps but I can't complete them because the Settings dialog box doesn't display (right-click on a flash video box, Settings...).  All the other steps are correct.  Windows 7, IE9, flash 11.7.700.169
    I had IE 10 and thought it might be that since it was a recent upgrade so I downgraded to IE 9.  Uninstalled flash with uninstall utility and reinstalled.  Test boxes in Flash Player support pages show nothing, just a blank box, regardless of whether Flash is installed or uninstalled.
    update: video works and the settings dialog box does pop-up in youtube but neither in facebook.  I disabled hardware acceleration while I had it up in youtube, but it doesn't help facebook playback.
    update 2: when I uninstalled IE 9 as well, imbedded flash finally worked in IE8.  Reinstalled IE 9 and it's back to not working again. Any ideas?

    Hey Chris, uninstalling that KB update fixed the problem.  I tried the driver updates first but mine seemed up to date already (HP showed a newer driver for the Intel HD graphics, but it wouldn't install).
    For other's info, I have an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop quad core entertainment, Win7 SP1 64-bit.   AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT and Intel Graphics 3000 (BIOS 2111.0).
    AMD graphics driver v8.882.2.3000.
    Intel driver shows the same as AMD in Windows System Information, but the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel reports v8.15.10.2476.

  • Video Properties/Camera Settings

    Hello everyone,
    Just like in Adobe Lightroom, where I can see the camera settings, such as aperture, ISO, and shutter speed of an image, is there a way to do it in Premiere Pro CC, so that I can see all these settings of a video clip?
    I did a test shoot with different settings, and would like to see these for each clip to see what worked best. Please advise. My online search hasn't revealed anything.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think I might have answered my own question. I think I set the project to anamorphic which would mean I'll have to start over again. Cos you can't change movie settings once you've started importing everything?
    What would be the advised settings for a project for a 16:9 aspect ratio, FPS etc? It will probably be only viewed online somewhere I.e. Facebook or a website etc
    Hope that is all clear:)

  • Media Encoder CS6 Avid DNxHD video codec settings do not update in video settings tab

    I want to encode a file to Avid DNxHD, but I am unable to change the resolution in the codec settings. I am choosing Avid DNxHD codec within the video codec tab, then clicking on codec settings and choosing a resolution from the resolutions pulldown menu. It will let me choose different resolutions from that menu, but after I hit okay, it has no effect on changing the video settings the way it's supposed to. For instance, if I try to encode a file that is 1280x720 with a source frame rate of 23.98, and I choose 1080i/59.94 DNxHD 145 8-bit, the frame size and frame rate does not change in the video settings tab. I am running Media Encoder CS6.0.2 on a Mac with OS 10.8.4. I am using Avid quicktime codecs v.2.3.7, because my system is running Avid Symphony 6.0.2.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No one ever responded unfortunately and I never figured out a work around.
    In Media Encoder CC there is a system preset for DNxHD MXF which I've used
    to yield Avid files. The weird thing is that the CC version does the exact
    same thing as the CS6 if you choose quicktime, DNxHD codec, and try to
    change the codec settings. None of the settings update. If you find out
    anything more about this I'd appreciate getting an update. Thanks!
