Why no option to choose frame size for shooting?

I would like to shoot with 16x9 to begin with, so I can frame it up and use the whole screen as I hold it up to shoot.
So why is there no option to choose the frame size to begin with? Why do we have to shoot it then edit it later to the suited frame size?
Thank you!

I ask again...... thanks

  • Advice on sequence settings - frame size for VHS video in FCP

    Hello,
    I was hoping that I could get some advice on editing and output for video captured from VHS Tapes to ensure the best quality possible.
    My current workflow to digitize the VHS tapes is:
    VHS signal from JVC S7600u with TBC into ADVC 300 (no de-interlace or other filters set) into a Mac Pro via firewire.  Capture preset in FCP is DV NTSC 48khz.
    Once in FCP - the captured VHS video frame size is 720 X 480, Vid rate is 29.97, pixel aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601 and field dominance is lower (even)
    My questions are:
    If my final destination is for You Tube sharing , are these the best sequence/ frame size settings or should I convert the sequence frame size to 640 X 480, or should I leave at 720 X 480 while working in FCP and then output to Compressor and select the H264 you tube sharing video setting and change the frame size to 640 X 480? 
    Should I de- interlace for internet/youtube destination?
    Should I de-interlace for DVD/TV destination?
    If I want to burn the finished project to DVD and watch the video on a progressive montitor/ TV screen, what would be the best settings/frame size for that?
    If any of you out there have experience with editing vcr/analog video in FCP and have a good workflow to ensure best quality, I would really appreciate  any advice/suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Digitize to 720X480 frame size in FCP. In compressor, your YouTube preset will automatically deinterlace and a square pixel aspect ratio.No deinterlacing for DVD.

  • Compression: what's right frame size for anamorphic film using H.264 Lan?

    i have an anamorphic (16:9) 25 minute film i want to export using Compression's H.264 Lan option (for web-posting purposes). What settings do I need for the frame size to keep it at its original proportions? i thought that 720 x 405 would do the trick, but it is slightly off, makes some of the images rather oval.
    thanks much....

    x & patrick,
    thanks for your help & desire for further clarification.
    i am dealing with a sequence composed largely of footage from a panasonic pv-gs500 using the widescreen mode. i don't know if it's "true" anamorphic or 16:9, but it's on an anamorphic timeline and looks just fine there.
    i experimented all nite last nite trying to get the right ratio for the compression type i mentioned. it looks like i finally succeeded using 740 x 416. i have no idea WHY this works, but when viewing the final exported product, it looks pretty perfect. i think it cuts off a teeny tiny bit of the height, not even noticeable.
    any explanation of WHY this ratio works would be welcome, to help along my understanding....

  • Choosing block size for RAID 0 & Final Cut

    Hi.
    I now have 3 500GB internal Seagate drives in bays 2/3/4 and want to make a striped 1.5TB RAID to use with Final Cut Studio 2. The help page talks about choosing a "large" data block size for use with video, but makes no specific size suggestion. What value would you recommend that I select for the block size? I haven't been in there yet so I don't know what the choices are.
    Any other settings I should be aware of that will optimize the RAID performance for video capture and editing? Thanks!

    If you're using Disc Utility to set up your RAID, when you go to the RAID tab, you'll see an options button near the bottom of the window... clicking this will open a small menu where you can set the data block size... the largest is 256K, which is what you'd want to use.
    As for you're other question... have a look at this website: http://bytepile.com/raid_class.php
    note that disc utility can only set up RAID 0 & RAID 1 (if i remember rightly).

  • Converting Frame Size for Final Cut

    I have XDCAM HD .mov files that are 1440x1080, which I converted through Streamclip to 1920x1080.  And 2 problems arose:
    1)  the 1st time I imported them in the Project I had the right Frame Size : 1920x1080, but the wrong Pixel Aspect : HD (1440x1080) instead of Square.
    2)  the 2nd time I looked for an Option in Streamclip to select the Pixel Aspect, but there is none.   I imported the 1920x1080 files into the project, and they appeared as 1440x1080 files!!!
    I also tried creating a sequence with the desired specs (Frame Size and Pixel Aspect) and said NO when asked to conform the Sequence to the Clip.  It worked but the RED Rendering will take forever.
    Do you have a better solution?  
    Could the problem be my Version 6 Final Cut?  Or am I missing something?  I would be most grateful for any suggestion.

    If you have iTunes 9 or higher, go to +iTunes > Preferences > General+. Under 'When inserting a CD' select any one of the three import options. Then click +Import Settings > Import Using > AIFF Encoder.+ In the same panel, click +Setting > Custom.+ Select +Sample Rate = 48Khz, Sample Size = 16 bit, Channels = Stereo.+ Then click +OK, OK, OK.+
    Then in your Library, select the song you want to convert. Then do +Advanced > Create AIFF Version.+ iTunes will make a copy of the song & convert it to AIFF.

  • Frame size for a project to be displayed on a projector

    I'm doing a project - probably all photographs - that will be shown on a 1024x768 projector. Is there an advantage to making the project frame size 1024x768? If I also want it on a DVD, will the shrinking/cropping affect the quality at all?
    Thanks!

    If it's a slide show, why not use software designed for it? Photoshop, Arpeture, or even iPhoto will work for this, and it will look great.
    If you then burn a video DVD, it will degrade it obviously because the frame size, and image quality loss will be noticeable... you're going to SD video after all.

  • Is it possible to set frame size for a new project ?

    Hi all,
    i would like to create a video in which there will be 2 videos playing the same content from a different angle.
    Each video is 512 x 384 .
    So i would like to set the frame size of the project as 1024 x 768 in order both videos to exist.
    I searched around for tutorials regarding this but i didn't find anything similar.It seems as if i cannot set the frame size of the project from the start.
    So,is there a way to do this?
    Thank you for your time reading this.
    Regards,
    nikits72.

    Hi and thank you for your answers.
    @->shoternz
    It will be displayed in my monitor and probably on you tube.Btw your remark on size was very accurate.Didn't think of that.
    Although i could use a little bigger height to use it to display a logo or something....
    I am very premiere newbie as you can understand.

  • Recommended Codec/Frame Size for Enhanced Audio CD

    I've just been asked to render a music video compatible with Enhamced Audio CD format. basically it's an Audio CD with a portion set aside for data where the video will reside.
    The file has to play in real time off of the CD.
    Anyone know of some rock solid, widely available codecs/recommended frame size that will work?
    The net seems devoid of good solid info on this.

    Having done some digging, it seems an .M4v H.264 encoded and running at about 640x360 should do the trick. Some indication on the packaging needs to specify QT 7 or above either Mac or PC to view the video side of the disc.
    This happily plays off a 8x CD drive.
    SVCD is old technology, superceded by DVD. H.264 is the way forward!
    Thanks.

  • Creating custom frame size for ProRes?

    This would be an addendum to my previous question about frame sizes.
    Say I have a bunch of odd-sized png files ... and want to convert them to a ProRes HQ clip ... but they have this odd size (which we need to keep). 1428 x 1050. Can I make an odd frame size ProRes HQ 8 bit clip? And if so, any tips on how to do it right?

  • Why did Apple choose new size for iPhone 5?

    I am a bit worried that the new physical size of the iPhone 5 will make a great number of existing accessories useless. A own a Tomtom GPS car holder as well as an advanced iPhone holder for my bike, and they are not exactly cheap to buy? How come Apple decided to change the standard size?

    The 3 and 3gs, the 4 and 4s...now the 5 and possibly the 5s next year. the accessories worked with each different number of phone released. At any rate, at least they are selling an adapter for the 5 for charging, etc.

  • Why does 4k "Set to Frame Size" shrink on playback ?

    When I add 4k video to a 1080 timeline and shrink (scale) to 50% to make it fit, it fits perfectly when paused, but then plays back at half size within the 1080 program sequence window.  I believe this is the preferred way to put 4k on a 1080 sequence but I am not sure why my playback shinks the size of the video further when I play it.  Thanks for helping me understand what's going on here or if there is a better way to bring 4k into a 1080 sequence. 

    PR CC 2014.1. I just tested some GH4 4K (3840X2160) in a 1920X1080 sequence, scaling the 4K to 50%. Program monitor settings 1/4 and Full are okay, and 1/2  gives me constant jumps from full frame to a small box in the monitor. (Same whether playback and pause settings are matched or not.)
    Removing the scale, gives the same type of effect. Stepping through frame by frame, I see that most frame are showing as full frame, then "zooming" in to the "regular condition" (no scale should display the too large 4K centered, right?).
    Generating previews results in relatively smooth in all combinations.
    Also, using the "scale to frame" results in smooth motion even if not rendered.
    GH4 4K clips are 100Mbps recording. I suspected my system (just on my laptop) was not up to the task. But since unscaled is not the issue, I really don't know. I'll try to test this again on my PC at home tonight.

  • When accessing Options to choose extension settings for particular add ons, and a new window for an add on's advanced selections opens, I cannot scroll to the bottom of it, it is cut off.

    When I get to the point where I've made my desired selections and want to click to apply them, (or also sometimes just to see the rest of my remaining choices) I cannot because the bottom of the window is cut off. I am not able to resize the window with my pointer as one can with most windows when using programs or websites. It only happens with the pop up windows. Thank you in advance for any help!

    I solved my own problem. :-) I simply needed to change the "size" setting in my add-on "Theme Font & Size Changer" to a smaller number. Now the new windows don't require scrolling to see the entire content. But, I suppose for someone with serious vision problems, they might need to do the same thing, but then break out a magnifying glass to read everything in the window.....

  • HT4863 Why is iCloud's maximum files size for email attachments so small? 20MB?!

    ARGH.

    Small? It's only slightly less than Gmail (25mb) and double Hotmails (10mb).
    Email is not designed for sending files, especially large ones. They have to be encoded which increases the size just to pass through as email.
    Use a proper file sending service, or upload the file somewhere and send a link to it by email.

  • Adjusting frame size for drop zones

    I posted this question in the Final Cut Forum, but I thought this might be a good place to ask as well.
    I exported a wide screen movie out of fce and plopped it on a drop zone on the main theme page in iDVD. The movie has that black band at the top like like it would if it was being played as a wide screen movie on your tv. It there a setting I can adjust to make that movie completely that drop zone?
    Thank you,
    Scott

    I wish I had good news for you but I do not. I've been working for the last hour trying to find a solution for you and I cannot within iDvd alone. This particular theme is highly limited on my own system as well.
    I'm wondering if there might be a way to resize the movie in QT Pro but it will take me considerably more time to find this type of solution for a movie as opposed to a still image.
    I won't have a solution for you today but I will keep this in mind.
