Why are still images importing larger than their size?

Per instructions in a thread I had here last week, I created all of my DVD still images at 720 x 534 pixels for Premiere Pro CS5.5. But when they are brought into a DVCPRO50 NTSC Standard sequence, they are being heavily clipped. The original in one example is this:
But when that same images is brought into PP, it is sized up like this:
It's still proportionally correct, but a lot of the top and bottom of the image are gone. The encoded MPEG-2 sequence and disk I've done as a test display just like that.
Why is PP doing this, and how can I get it to use images built to the correct size to be used 1:1 in a sequence instead of being scaled to about 115% of size? Hate to compare this way, but this was never an issue with Final Cut Pro, which I'm switching from. Stills created to the size FCP needed of 720 x 540 displayed and finished exactly as they were made in Photoshop. The only image area lost was the normal bit of overscanning DVDs display at on your TV.

I guess I don't understand.  This is an excerpt from the CS help.  This seems to be inconsistent with what the last two posts said.
Composition settings presets for square-pixel equivalents of standard definition formats have changed as follows:
format
pixel dimensions in After Effects CS4 and later
previous pixel dimensions
NTSC D1 square-pixel equivalent
720x534
720x540
NTSC D1 Widescreen square-pixel equivalent
872x486
864x486
PAL D1/DV square-pixel equivalent
788x576
768x576
PAL D1/DV Widescreen square-pixel equivalent
1050x576
1024x576

  • Why are my images no longer in their folders?

    My photos are all within lightroom, all 24,000+ images.  I had them organized them in folders by year, month and date.  For some reason, my folders for April 2014 were being downloaded in another place in the library.  I was having to move them down in LR to their proper place in the year and month, each time I downloaded images. So, the other day, I went over, in the Library, to the appropriate place in the right hand column and selected the spot when I wanted them to go.  Then, presto magic, most of the photos disappeared from their folders.  The photos remain in LR, just not in their appropriate folders.  In my picture file, all images are still in the folders where they belong.  What happened?  What did I do? How can I get them back into their folders? 

    I wanted to change the destination of the photos.  You do this along the
    top of the import page where it says, "Select a destination," but you
    find the place you want it to go on the left side.
    No, this is wrong. You do indeed select the destination at the top right of the Import dialog but you see either the same destination folder or a sub-folder in it, if you have chosen that option, on the bottom right. The left side is only sources from which photos can be copied or added.
    When the images were downloaded, I went over to the right side and I believe actually found all the photos were gone.
    If the photos were downloaded (something which is not certain from your description) the Import dialog would have closed, putting you back in the Library module. But the right side panel of the Library shows only a histogram, Quick Develop, keywording tools, metadata readouts, etc., so it is hardly surprising that you did not find folders and image files there. They are found on the left.
    I went back, in LR, on the right side [?] to my Root Folder, in which all of the images in their folders are stored under Pictures and set up an import.
    Imported using the "Add" option in order to catalog them in place or by making copies or moving them to another location?
    The images all returned to LR, but they were no longer organized in their folders.
    Perhaps because of not understanding the Import interface you moved or copied them to a different destination and it is this alternate or second location that the catalog now refers to.
    Does this clarify?
    No, I'm afraid not. Maybe if you spent a bit more time understanding the layout and structure of LR's UI, you could explain your problem better.

  • Why are some images imported as "IMG_9999.jpg" and others as "_MG_9999.jpg"?

    When importing a bunch of pictures from a Canon 5D MKIII, some of the images have a "IMG_9999.jpg" filename, and others in the same batch have a "_MG_9999.jpg" filename (the leading "I" is an underbar).  Is there a reason or fix for this other than manually creating the names?

    Color space setting.  See https://www.google.com/search?q=img+vs+_mg&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari .
    Note these names are supplied by the camera and not by Aperture.
    Aperture allows you to change the file names of Originals on import or after.  I change mine to something useful to me on import.  Search forum for "File Naming Convention".

  • Why are my browser windows larger than my screen?

    When I put Lion on my iMac, browser windows for Safari become very large and Google Chrome windows are immense.
    This didn't happen on my MacBook Pro. I've looked in all kinds of preferences and I can't seem to find a way to trim down browser window size.

    Hi, thank you so much for responding!
    The problem isn't related to type size or resolution. It's the actual window size. It's for all windows, not just browsers. The menu bar doesn't appear--the only way to get to it is to push the cursor to the top of the screen and then I lose my place. Same for the right-hand scroll and any window-controls on the bottom--I have to go way outside the part of the screen that's displayed.
    I tried both your suggestions, command-shift - just made the typeface smaller--the window navigation is still outside of the screen. And then I changed the Sys Preferences/Display as you suggest, that just made the typeface bigger and blurrier.
    Any other ideas?
    It's really "window size" -- but I can't find any setting that reduces the size of windows.

  • Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

    Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
    Thanks

    I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
    <img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
    or this:
    <img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
    Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
    Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
    Hope this helps,

  • Having issues with my MacBook. Even when the internet is disconnected, apps are still closing and opening on their own. I sometimes do not have control over my cursor.....any suggestions?

    Having issues with my MacBook. Even when the internet is disconnected, apps are still closing and opening on their own. I sometimes do not have control over my cursor.....any suggestions?

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    3. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    4. Reset the System Management Controller.
    5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    6. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

    How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?  I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems.  They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Why are my photos importing from my sd card out of order?

    Why are my photos importing out of sequence when uploading from an sd card?

    The card is probably sorted alphanumerically in ascending order, i.e. a1, a2, a3, etc.  So set your view option to: Sort by Title Ascending. Then check to see if that's correct.  If not change it.

  • How to display graphics larger than canvas size?

    How do I display graphics larger than canvas size in Java AWT?
    I tried setting the canvas size() to a value larger than my monitor size, and then adding scroll bars to the canvas, but the scroll bars and the canvas won't go beyond the monitor size in pixels, which is only 800, so the large graphic I try to display gets cut off at the bottom.

  • Why are pdfs so much larger with Mac than a pc?

    I have a MacBook Pro and I use the "save as" feature to create pdfs. These are much, much larger than when I used a pc. In fact, most times they are 2-3x the KB of the orginal document. How can I fix this?
    Debbie

    They arent.....you just have your settings set DIFFERENT on you MAC......I work with  Acrobat PDF creation everyday...., and make pdf every day on both Mac and Windows..
    .......10 scanned books created in Acrobat for creation is the same as Win Acrobat pdf creation.
    Check your pdf settings, optimization settings, dpi settings (for scans)
    Make sure youre saving them as the same kind of PDF, there are ....>
    archival PDF (pdf-a)
    pdf-x
    pdf-e
    and other PDF embedding. Embedded fonts set/unset in default.

  • Still images import and sizing in BlackMagic 10 bits footage Premiere pro CS 5.5 and AE

    Hi,
    I'm looking for the maths to calculate the needed image size when using normal  images for import to use as still images in Premiere.
    The images I have are 72dpi and 240dpi. The footage is Black Magic 10 bits AVI 1920x1080 (1,0) 50i and some stuff is 25p (for keying purposes).
    I use Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks. I have the same question concerning the import and sizing of images in After Effects.
    Thanks! David

    The images I have are 72dpi and 240dpi.
    That is completely irrelevant for video editing. The only thing that matters is the pixel dimensions. A 240 dpi image on a 4.3"screen is different than a 72 dpi image on a 200" video wall. The math is simple: one to one relationship. So if you edit 1920 x 1080, use 1920 x 1080 pixel dimensions for your images.

Maybe you are looking for
