Why don't livetype titles match FCE frame size?

Hi
I've made some titles in livetype and imported into FCE but the frame size comes out smaller than the footage in FCE. Both are set to 720x576 anamormphic but the livetype clip doesn't fill the entire frame, just a smaller square in the middle. Is this an FCE setting or livetype setting that I have to change and if so where am I going wrong?
Regards
Adrian

I use the following settings in LiveType Canvas, for Widescreen PAL titles and whole-screen movies:
W = 1024 pix
12.8" at 80 dpi
H = 576 pix
8" at 72 dpi
Frame 25 fps
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1
Uncheck "square pixels".
Do this immediately on launching LiveType and before doing anything else with it. There is no need to set the anamorphic flag in FCE's Browser. It works for me - the resulting QT movie imports into FCE as Widescreen and fills FCE's canvas.
BTW, I assume that you have FCE's Canvas set to "fit to Window"!

  • Unrendered Livetype titles in FCE

    Everytime I try to put a Livetype titles into my FCE project, I try to play it and it says,"Unrendered". I heard that you have to have the sequence settings in FCE so they match the project properties in Livetype. What do I have to switch so that the livetype titles will not say Unrendered while I am playing them in FCE?
    And another question- How can I make slow-mo in FCE?

    A LiveType project will always need to be rendered unless you switch to Unlimited RT.

  • Livetype Title Render Quality

    I currently am trying to render some livetype titles in FCE, and for some reason, the fonts look a bit blurred and interlaced in the canvas preview window.
    I did print to video and took it over to a television and the titles looked fine, however here's my question: What if I am using FCE to create a video for the web? On all the computers I have checked this video, the titles do not look "professional." Is there any way that I can remedy this?

    Tom (and Nick),
    Thanks to this thread I've had one of those "A ha!" moments when everything falls into place (I hope).
    I've wondered why there are frequently posts regarding "Livetype Quality", etc, yet others don't have these problems?
    Often the user is referring to the quality of the display in the Canvas in FCE/FCP. Responses are often along the lines of "The Canvas and computer monitor are not capable of displaying the same quality as a TV Monitor can, etc and you should always check output on a TV Monitor", etc.
    This makes sense since a TV Monitor is interlaced and (I think) the canvas drops a field in it's display (at least when not set to 100%)
    However, I don't think that's the real problem some of these people are having. As Tom mentioned, it's all down to the codec.
    I bet these users are working in the DV codec which unfortuntely just can't do what Livetype is capable of in the Animation codec.
    Unfortuantely, those replying are probably pros and are working in better codecs than DV, such as uncompressed 8-bit, etc and therefore the degradation isn't as great for them. They aren't having the issue due to this.
    I think perhaps someone should make a sticky of this codec limitation, since issues with Livetype/Motion Quality come up all the time and I bet a lot of the time it's nothing to do with the user mis-interpreting what the Canvas displays over a TV monitor, but to do with the user working with DV.
    Add to that sticky this excellent post by Kevin Monahan over at Kenstone's site:

  • Why doesn't firefox resize my video to correspond with the video frame size?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find a way to render a video to both IE(8) and FF(3.6.12) in the same size(dimension) for both video frame and video itself.
    I have the latest basic real player installed and using the following code, the video plays in both browsers but only in IE does the video dimension match the frame size.

    As you will see if you paste this into a text editor, save as .html and render in both browsers, FF renders the file much bigger than IE.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Jim

    That shouldn't be a surprise because you set the dimensions different for Firefox: width="150" height="160" for IE versus width="350" height="460" for Firefox
    IE:

  • Is it possible to define the frame size when capture from MiniDV?

    I am editing a series of tapes which I did not film and don't have the original camera. I am capturing it using my Canon ZR500. When I capture it the frame size is 720 by 480 (3:2). Is there any possibility that by using a different camera I could be inadvertently changing the frame size? (I can't see where I could but someone in this project thinks the aspect ration should be 4:3 - I can't see anywhere I could be changing it.)

    I have just given this a quick browse but I think it just explains how to make slides match the frame size. I used keynote to make the slide - probably not the best but I don't have photoshop. But the principle should be the same?
    But using an incorrect slide size shouldn't affect the aspect ratio of the final video should it?
    After I create the .mov file from FCE I use MPEG Streamclip to produce an .mp4 version to upload to the internet. If I use Streamclip to view the stream info it still shows a frame size of 720 by 480.
    Am I missing something?

    My iTunes library says 4149 songs, my iPhone says 4148 songs, and my iPad says 4147 songs.  Why don't they match?!  How can I fix it???

    Yes. I selected all songs and checked them (in case I missed a few) and synced.  I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.  I tried selecting all songs and unchecking them, re-syncing my phone (which didn't get rid of the songs on my phone like i thought it would), then selected all songs again, checked them, and resynced again--nothing changed.  I went to the iTunes store and selected "Check for all available downloads" and it gave me the message"All purchases have been downloaded for this account."  I checked for duplicates, deleted a few and resynced.  This reduced the number of songs, but it still doesn't match what the iTunes library says...I don't know what to try next...

  • How do I create a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    How do I create a 1920x1080 title?
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7.  I created a default title.  If I right-click on the title in the Project Explorer and select properties, it says:
      Title Size: 720 x 480
      Pixel Depth: 32
      Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
    If I drag this title onto a sequence onto a sequence created from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset then the title is automagically scaled to try to get it to fit into the 1920x1080 frame, resulting in a tiny title centered in the frame.  I can make things better by right-clicking the title in the timeline and selecting "Scale to frame size", but that's not a particularly elegant solution (and the title, as displayed in the title editor, still doesn't exactly match the title displayed in the previous monitor).
    How do I create and edit a title whose size matches my video frame size?

    Thanks guys!  I created the first title in a 640x480 sequence and didn't notice that I had the option to fiddle with the frame size when I created it.  Subsequently, I created new titles by duplicating a previously created title (which I had set up with desired font, effects, etc.) and just changing the title text in the title designer.  This worked great as long as I was making titles for a 640x480 sequence.  But when I tried to use a copy of this title in a different sized sequence then things got weird on me.  I spent way too long trying to find the option to resize the title before I finally gave up and decided to spend the time to figure out how to post a question in this forum.
    Just to verify how things work, I verified that the size of a new title does, indeed, default to the size of the currently selected sequence.  No idea what would happen if I had multiple sequences displayed simultaneously.
    Any idea how to change the size of an existing title?

  • Why don't match the values of printer ports, obtained through WMI in different ways?

    Why don't match the values of printer ports, obtained through WMI in different ways?
    $Ports = Get-WmiObject Win32_TcpIpPrinterPort -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $ComputerName
    $Printers = Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $ComputerName
    Further, for example, on the same computer $Ports.Name returns me: (10.0.66.204 10.0.66.210 10.0.66.246 10.0.66.247)
    and $Printers.PortName (XPSPort: USB001 10.0.66.247 HPLaserJet400MFPM425dn 10.0.66.246 SHRFAX :) I.e. the values don't match to each other although they logically should be the same. Why so?
    In the end I need to get a binding the printer - the value (not the name) of the port. In Win32_Printer there is no such parameter, and there is no information about the printer in Win32_TcpIpPrinterPort. I wanted to connect them through port name but they
    don't match.

    Very unclear.
    Win32_Printer returns the bound port name.
    Get-WmiObject win32_tcpipprinterport -filter "Name='192.168.1.100_2'"
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Can't make multiclip-- 'frame sizes don't match'

    Hi, I am trying to create my first multiclip. I have selected three imported capture files, control-clicked to 'Create Multiclip', and a message comes up saying "Can't create multiclip. Video frame sizes don't match". It true that the three clips have 3 different dimensions (720X480 1440X1080 and 960X720). I'm not sure if these dimensions pertain to the 'video frame size', but I do know that Dianna Weynand's book says that clips of various 'formats' can be made into a multiclip.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks, Bob

    Well, that is up to you, but my suspicion would be that you will not be happy with 720 x 480 DV (which I hope was shot 16:9 anamorphic) enlarged to 1080i, but it is your call.
    If it were me, I would go the other way and make all the media match the smallest frame size, converting everything, including the DV footage to ProRes as the codec. But that is just one opinion, based on the idea that you are never going to improve the DV footage by scaling it larger, and you will do less quality damage to the image of the HD material by scaling it smaller. Of course, it will no longer be HD.
    You might want to do some tests before you commit all your footage, and the wiseness of your choice will be dependent on what format you ultimately want to deliver your finished project in, and what purpose that format has.
    Hope this helps.

  • Title of Page Frame in Browser - How to Change?

    Hello,
    New to this. One quick question....
    When you create a site in iWeb, the page title (or top frame in the browser) reflects the name of the page, and I can't find a way to edit that portion of the page.
    For example, the homepage of my site is called "Home", however, I would rather it say (in the browser frame at the top) the name of the company (for search engine purposes).
    How can this be done? Thanks in advance...

    You would need to use iWebSEO to do this. It allows you to add page browser titles, tags and Google analytics to your site to be search engine friendly.
    Note, you need to publish your site to a local folder on your desktop first and then upload.

  • Export Media- matching frame sizes to codec formats

    The short version of this would be "what are the most common settings for compressed video at 720p"?
    Reading the suggested settings for youtube and other sites simply leads me to more questions, as the presets from premier that get close to matching these recommendations all seem to have odd framerates and frame sizes...
    The long:
    Producers that have me scoring audio to some short bumper intro clips have had me download the quicktimes from vimeo. Revealing the Inspector in quictime, i see the specs on the video files ("Photo- Jpeg" compression format, in what I've been told is 'true 720p resolution' (1280x720), at 59.94 fps). Yet cant seem to find similar export settings as presets in Premiere. I am aware of the very useful function of being able to match master project settings from within the Media, but other people who recieve the preview clips note 'why are these in Photo- Jpeg'?
    When I use premier presets that contain 720p res, they are often an odd frame size, which again renders questions from the recipient (why is this 720p at 24drop?) etc. So wondering why the difference between what I recieve and what's available from the same video format preset.
    For instance When choosing "Photo- Jpeg" as a preset, the res is indeed 720p, yet the frame is nowhere near 1280x720 (not in front of my rig right now but its something like 900x720). In fact quicktime presets come up with these odd frame sizes as well. The presets Im able to locate so far that hold full-frame HD output settings are branded DV and HDV camera options...meanwhile '720p NTSC' is also in odd frame sizes under presets, not sure what to make of that...maybe I was mistaken in thinking 720p NTSC runs at 59.94?
    I understand that Youtube, Vimeo and other sites we may be using have their 'recommended settings' faq pages. However my main concern is whether these are also typical settings for compressed quicktimes that producers may want delivered offline as well? Is there a 'standard' at all?
    Read alot of FAQs over the past couple days, but these mainly discuss the options available and how to get to them, not finding alot of info regarding
    "when to use export settings and why".so I come to you for your expertise...
    Thanks for your patience and your insight folks!

    >  Is there a 'standard' at all?
    No.
    Sorry, but that's the simple answer.
    Regarding Photo-JPEG versus H.264:
    Photo-JPEG codec in a QuickTime container is rather common for such purposes as stock footage---when the quality really matters, but file size (for bandwidth purposes) has to be considered, too.
    H.264 is much more effective at compressing a file, but usually at the expense of some image quality. YouTube---to put it bluntly---doesn't care about the quality of movies the way that a stock footage website does, so YouTube prefers H.264. If you upload a video in a nice, high-quality, perfect file, YouTube will recompress it behind the scenes for playback---so you might as well give it what it wants in the first place so that you at least have some control over how your image is destroyed... er... compressed.
    There's some more general information about output formats and codecs in this movie that I made:
    "FAQ: What's the best export format or codec?"
