Video Size on imported assets??

Is there no way to import assets with a video resolution other than 720x576 and 704x576????

JB, can Encore import XviD or DivX files? That surprises me. I would have thought a conversion to mpeg or DV AVI DVD compliant files would be required before import, as Patrick mentions.
Patrick, even after importing larger files, Encore will transcode them to fit onto a DVD.

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:
http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Dave

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Imported Video Sizes?

I have imported several videos into a Keynote project, but the size of the Keynote presentation is considerably smaller than the combined size of all the videos I have imported.
1. Is Keynote automatically compressing these videos?
2. If so, is there somewhere where I can tell it not to compress them?
3. If not, what format & bit depth is Keynote compressing them to?
Thanks

Can anyone help with this?

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,
Hunt

HELP ! Need to change video size in project sequence...

When creating a project last month I accidently created it as 1280x960 in the sequence settings, but meant to create it as a 1920x1080 which is what all the video clips are in size. Now I have this nicely edited project but need to convert it to a 1920x1080 in the sequence settings so I can export it as that size. When I go into the sequence settings now this option is grayed out and it won't let me. I have read many forums and they say it’s as simple as creating a new sequence with the right settings and importing the old sequence but when I do this it is still as 1280x960. So my question is other than re-editing this entire project, how can I take this current project with sequence settings as 1280x960 and change the video size to 1920x1080 (Which is what the video clips are originally and when I right click on the individual videos it says 1920x1080). PLEASE help, I am using PP CS5 !!! This is so frustrating !

Create a new Sequence with the settings you prefer,
then Copy > Paste the clips into the new Sequence.
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?

note:
You may need to re-create audio effects that you applied in the Mixer
in the first Sequence, or you can use your first Sequence as a mixed,
nested audio track for the new properly configured Sequence.

Maximum Video Size in Flash??

Hello,
I'm currently working on a website design. The idea is a big chromakeyed interactive video in Flash. The size of the video is 1080 (width) x 1500 (height) pixels.
I've exported the video in After Effects with the standard settings for flash (File>Export>Adobe Flash Player(SWF)). Now when I import the video in Flash and preview the file, the video plays in a slower speed and it's not playing smooth at all...
Is the video too big? Is there a maximum video-size to keep the video running correct in Flash? Is it something else that causes this problem..???
I hope one of you guys can help me with this, hope to hear from you soon!

Could be a mismatch of frame rates. For example, if you are using 30 fps in AE and 24 in Flash, and then you embed the video into the time line, it will play at 24 fps, slow and jerky.
However if the video file was a .flv and you played the video by NetStream or FLVPlayback, it would playback at 30 fps, even if the Flash doc had a fps of 24.
If that doesn't fix it, try exporting the file from AE as an flv.

Importing assets to Encore taking forever to import

Importing large (~8GB ea) mpeg videos as "timeline: assets into Encore and it's taking FOREVER. Is there a way to "link" the video clips like inDesign does with it's assets? How come it takes so long for these video clips to import, especially since they aren't even transcoded yet? It shouldn't be copying them, right? I tried saving my Encore project in the same folder as my mpeg clips hoping it would "see" them and import quicker but that didn't work.
Thanks.

Video clips file type: Movie Clip (.mpg), 1290x720, 59 FPS.)
Not 1280x720? And the 59 is 59.94?
Did you transcode them from something else? Or are these your source clips.
Encore prefers demuxed files (m2v and wav, for example), not mpg with the video and audio in one file.
Also, Encore must examine the file and do a type of indexing.
No, it doesn't help to try to keep the Encore folders with the assets, because Encore creates its own folders.
What does help is having the xmpses and such files that Premiere or AME would generate.
But yes, these are very large files, and it will take Encore some work to process them.

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

End video size

hi,
i want to use imovie for some basic editting and rendering.
i have a load of mov's, captured using snapz pro x at 720x480 that i simply want to import, cut bits out, and export as one file for use in idvd.
i have 2 questions...
1. is there a way, in imovie, to change the end video size? im using 720x480 source files, and when i export as a movie it either crams it into a 640x480, or letterboxes it. i just want the output size to stay the same as the input size (720x480). if not, whats the optimum size people use for tv viewing?
2. the content of my video is pretty intricate. its got a feint grey box in the middle of the screen, which the video plays in (screen in screen basically).
assuming that imovie will only give me 640x480 output, i cropped the clips to 640x480, inputted them, pieced them together, and outputed them. imovie gives me the right size, but really messes up the video. the grey line is blurred and not visible at the bottom, and the moving images themselves look awful.
all i want is to export a video that has the same properties (size, resolution etc) as the input files!
if screen grabs would help, i can put some up.
thanks in advance

yes, i've had varied success with transferring screen grabs to tv. problem is, its the only option - im using a moving image enivronment (pure data) and the only way to save the video you create is through snapz (well, theres no way of saving it within the software).
one way i will try is to video out from the laptop into a tv and record with a dvd recorder, see if that helps.
i think its trial and error with the captures. the 720x480 looked pretty good, but the refresh rate was out and it flickered a fair bit. the refresh rate was better on 640x480, but it didnt look as good.
thanks for the advice

Rendering .flv with cue points but maintaining video size

When I render an .flv by exporting in After Effects I cannot get cue points however when I import the .flv to a Flash doc, the controller is the same width as the video.
However, in order to get cue points, you have to add the video to the Render Queue in AE in order to see the cue points in Flash. But the video controller ends up wider than the video itself when imported to Flash.
My video is 495 wide by 360 high. When I render in AE in the Render Queue, and then import to a Flash doc, the video controller is about 30 pixels wider on both the left and right of the video. This looks goofy. Is their a way to resolve this?
Thank you.

Thank you for responding. I tried to but what happens is that that there is about 15 pixels of black space on the left and 15 pixels on the right side of he video. This does not happen when I export to Flash, only when I add to the Render Queue.
So If I adjust the video size in Flash, the video size changes however the black space still remains. Somehow AE is creating extra space black space on both sides of the .flv. Again, this does not happen when export to .flv.

Import Assets problem

Import Assets
Could not import one file.
Incompatible Format
The message above is the message I get when I import a movie file made in Adobe Premier (apple) and re-coded to H 264 @1280 X 720 QT. The QT inspector information is identical to other files with the same inspector information (made the same way). FYI-I have no problem importing movie files right out of Premier.
Have tried everything I can think of - still no import.
Please jumpin if you please.
Patt

Dang, I thought I had mentioned that it is DVD Pro Studio 3. I did finally figure out my problem. I grabed the mpeg2 file that produced by using QT High D and that would go in amongst the Quicktime movies, much to my amazment. So, what is the "Other Pro Video"? I don't need to visit this site very much, all has way changed, but had I mentioned I was talking about a Mac product, I'm sure that would have made things clearer. I knew it wasn't for Adobe Premirer, but yea, I'm still using it.
Thanks for responding, anyway.

Recording with iSight - Video Size option missing

Ok, I hope someone can help me. I record video directly into iMovie using the built in isight on my mac. On the import window using the camera I used to have the option on the bottom to select the video size (640x480 or 1024x576). For some reason this is missing (the bottom frame is blank except for the camera selection options).
I can't figure out how to get the higher resolution option back. Where did it go? Help!
Thanks.

I now use iMovie9 and Lion 10.7.2. The choice bar is gone for me, too!
To validate your experience, I started a new wide-screen project and imported from inbuilt iSight. After dragging the new capture event into the new project, I clicked the "crop" button and found that all the resolution is still there! I can crop or re-frame by dragging the crop bars or area. However, I cannot select the entire frame for inclusion in my project.
Based on this, it seems to me that full frame iSight recording has been sacrificed, probably so stabilization can use the edges.
Unless someone else knows a way, it seems to me that if we want the old choices bar back, we will need to retreat to an older version.

AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

Hello all!
I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
Thank you.

Hi
I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

Can I use Apple DVI to Video Adapter to import video to my macbook pro?

I was wondering if i could use the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to import videos from my camcorder that don't have usb or firewire but have a S-video. to my laptop? and import them to iMovie

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean without internet, then yes, providing it isn't a purchased video (The Apple TV may need to verify authorisation). If you mean without a network, then no.
