Wide Screen Footage becomes 4:3 after Export

Hallo
I videotaped footage in the Widescreen Format (16:9) and also set the settings of the project in Premiere that way. The project also displays the footage in widescreen.
But as soon as I export it, it will become 3:4 Format.
What am I doing wrong? I think Windows Media Player and VLC Player should be alright with the widescreen format or is it the exportsettings in Premiere?
Thanks alot for helping

Whoa, whoa whoa. Time out. Stop the bus. There's a LOT of misinformation going on here. First off...
Jim wrote:
>The original footage has 1.2 pixels. Coming from the "conversion will always introduce some measure of degradation" camp, they should be left without conversion if at all possible
Keep in mind, Jim, the original poster wrote, "media players such as Quicktime, Real Player, Windows Media Player, VLC Player and Youtube." So we're talking about Adobe Media Encoder. So conversion/rendering is taking place regardless of what pixel aspect he/she chooses.
Secondly, Brian wrote:
> Windows Media Player has always recognized the videos I export out at 1.2 aspect ratio as 16x9 format and play then fine.
Brian, this is typically not true for clips exported from Windows Media. (Perhaps you have tweaked some preferences to your Player, or perhaps your video drivers do something to correct this?) Even so, that's a rare instance only to your computer, and is not the proper advice to give.
Try this: export a 16x9 clip or 16x9 timeline via Adobe Media Encoder to a "for download" or streaming Windows Media format. You'll notice the available presets specify all of these types of formats at 1.0 PAR. Try it for any QT or Real Media or H.264 "Youtube" format-- it's all 1.0 PAR.
In addition, to test your theory: I forced the PAR to 1.2 and 1.333 for a few different clips I had. My Windows Media player (version 11) played them all incorrectly. As did Quicktime. Now, I agree that if you had an attached video monitor, it may look okay there. But not when viewing on a computer monitor.
Finally, keep in mind, you're creating a clip for someone else to download. Even if your own computer looks okay with Windows Media, the only way to *guarantee* it will display properly on everyone else's across the globe is to use square 1.0 pixels.

  • Poor Quality in Wide-Screen When Exporting HD to Quicktime

    Hello all...
    I'm working on a fairly large project in iMovie HD with wide-screen footage from my Sony HDR-HC3 and have hit a wall.
    I can't seem to get a good result when I export clips into Quicktime in a wide-screen format. They are a bit choppy & you can see bits of some horizontal lines. The same video exported in full-screen VGA looks great. Any tips...? I basically just want to make good quality QT movies watchable on my computer that maintain the original aspect ratio (and LOOK like they do in iMovie!)
    The entire project is around 100GB and I currently have almost 40GB of free space. Any help appreciated!

    What do you need to end up with? Just a file to play back or burn to a DVD or make a web stream or?

  • Mixing Footage shot on Wide Screen Camera with Non

    Dear All
    Firstly, thanks for your help and apologies for posting perhaps an amature question on this forum.
    I'm trying to create a sequence which is using footage which was shot on two cameras. One wide screen, and one normal. As you can imagine, when it flips to the wide screen footage there are the black marks top and bottom. Question is, can I confert the wide screen footage to standard?
    Many thanks
    Al

    Use the same tool I recommended to this guy, the DVCPRO HD FRAMERATE CONVERTER:

  • Wide-screen compressing

    I have finished working on a movie built on film clips from my friend's Canon video camera. It shoots wide-screen footage, so the iMovie project is also wide-screen. Now that it is time to compress the project, I am finding that most of the QuickTime options "squish" the image to something that is no longer wide-screen. There are a few options that do not. But these have low-quality resolution.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks!
    Greg M.

    I found it! On iMovie 7.0.3 (OS 10.4.11 version) select 'share' then QuickTime then 'movie to AVI'. Next to that selection are 'settings'. There are two adjustable settings: the video was set to 4:3. I changed it to 16:9 for wide-screen.
    Perfect!

  • How to export green screen footage.

    I recently shot on a green screen, i keyed it in after effects with keylight but want to do color correction in FINAL CUT. when i export the video it comes out with a black background instead of transparency so it doesn't allow me to composite footage over the background so i can't color correct or do anything because the clips with the black solid background are useless. how can i export the already keyed footage so that i keep the transparency for the background?????
    thanks

    This thread has become a mess of confusing information. Just to clarify a few points:
    1GB RAM is not really enough to run AE well. Your purchase of 4GB is a smart move.
    AE manages its own RAM usage, so its very possible that it may only use 20% of available RAM, depending on the contents of your project and the amount of precomping etc that you've used. Once you have the extra RAM, enabling Multi-Processor rendering is the best way to utilize RAM during the rendering process.
    The "Secret" option mentioned refers to a secret preference menu in AE, which is enabled by holding the Shift key while choosing preferences. Unless there is clear evidence that your system is running out of RAM while rendering, there's no need for you to use the Secret prefs menu.
    The "3 GB switch" referred to is not relevant in your case - it applies strictly to Windows XP users.
    In summary, install the extra RAM and activate multi-processor rendering to speed up your renders.
    Export your keyed footage using the "Lossless with alpha" Output Module in the Render Queue. This will provide transparency info when you take the footage to FCP.
    Alternately, as suggested by Mylenium, do the colour correction within AE.

  • After exporting screen recording, just shows a black video.

    I've recorded an hour and a half of screen recorded footage. it plays back just fine. It exports fine too! the problem is, once I try to open it after exporting it to desktop,iTunes etc., it doesn't have audio or video. Just a black screen for the whole duration. it'll still play, but it plays all black, no audio... Ultimately, I just want it on my third generation iPad. It wont play back with iTunes, on my iPad or even with Preview. I've tried exporting it in iPad format and in normal 720P mode.  so .m4v and .mov .My iMac is 1080P so I should be able to export a 720P screen recording. I was thinking that was the problem. it wont show video to a 480P video when I exported it 720P.. i didn't wanna export 1080P cause it was like 9 GB! any help please? i've messed around with this for days.

  • After Effects wide screen

    I am using After Effects CS3. Mostly for Graphical animation not using any video footage.
    I set the comp to NTSC DV Widescreen and Pixel aspect ratio to D1/DV Widescreen (1.2)
    But when I export the animation to Quicktime Animation Mellions+ Color setting the video comes out 4:3 and stretched from top and bottom !!!
    It wasnt like this before!! This happened just recently.
    What should do to export it as widescreen?

    Ok here is what I found out after trying the Interpet Footage method in Premiere Pro CS3. When I do that it says use Pixel aspect ratio from file: D1/DV NTSC (0.9)
    So that means even though I set up the After Effects file to the settings I mentioned before, it is not exporting it to that setting for some reason!!! I do not know why and how to fix this problem!!
    When I do change the Interpret Footage settings in Premiere pro CS3 from the File D1/DV NTSC (0.9) to D1/DV NTSC Widescreen which is the setting I have for my After effects file, then the footage becomes too streched from the sides cause After effects has for some reason exported it as a 4:3 file not 16:9 which I had set it up as!!!
    LOL wow. Try getting your head around that one !!! :)
    Once again I thank U for your prompt responses!!!

  • White screen in Avid Meridian after export from FCP 6?

    After exporting a sequence as 10 bit uncompressed NTSC (using AJA Kona II card) on FCP Ver. 6.06, I imported the file into my Avid Symphony (Meridian).
    When I tried to play the file, I could only see a white screen. Audio plays fine.
    I have searched Apple, AJA (Kona card) and Avid websites, but can't seem to find a codec or update that addresses this problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Ahhh...I think the big issue is that you are running that Avid on a PC.  So what you need to do is convert the file to the Avid Meridian QT codec, and then bring it over.  This means that you need to download that Avid codecs and install those on your Mac. 
    And there will be a gamma shift...no way around that. You'll have to correct for that on the Avid.

  • Export from HDV to Web-Plausible Wide-Screen DVD Size?

    I'd like to let some friends view some video I've shot in HDV (1440x1080i anamorphic wide-screen, camcorder is Sony HDR-FX1) and am editing with Final Cut Pro HD 5.0.4. I'd therefore like to export this video into a web-usable format, preferably at DVD resolution. Since this is wide-screen video, that works out to 853x480.
    I'm at a lack to find an export format that can do that. Almost every pre-defined export format produces a 4:3 anamorphic print. When I use "Custom..." to explicitly ask for 853x480, it changes those settings to 848x477, but the final video comes out as 1131x477 (i.e., 16:9 x 4:3).
    Anybody have any ideas how to do this? Thanks everybody!

    Aha! The trick appears to be to set "Pixel Aspect Ratio" to "square" in the "Custom..." dialog. Apparently the fact that it was still set for anamorphic caused my 848x477 attempt come out to 1131x477.
    By the way, I don't think HDV (or at least my HDR-FX1, which says it's HDV) has square pixels. Its images are 1440x1080 resolution, which is a 4:3 ratio, but it produces a 16:9 image, so it's got to be anamorphic.

  • Flex 10 touch screen becomes unresponsi​ve after 10-15 mins !

    Hi
    I purchased the Flex 10 netbook a couple of weeks ago, and really like it.
    Within a day or 2 of purchase I updated it to Win 8.1 (the vendor said it was compatible).
    However the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive after about 10 - 15 mins of routine activity. The only way to regain function is to reboot.
    It's very annoying ! I have updated to most recent drivers from Lenovo site but to no avail.
    I only have a very limited selection of software installed (Chrome, Firefox, Logitech Media Server, Foobar2000, LastFM desktop client & Open Office 4.01).
    Maybe this model is not compatible with Win 8.1 ?
    Can anyone advise me here ?
    It would be a real pain to have to RMA this as it's otherwise a great little netbook, and perfect as a low power music server for my Logitech Squeezebox players.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I just bought Lenovo Flex 10 a month ago. After upgrade my OS from Win8 to Win8.1. When using for 15 minutes or 30 minutes, the touchscreen stop working/not respond.
    After restart my laptop, the touchscreeen can normal again, but just for 30 minutes happen again.
    I am using the latest drivers updates.
    Anybody can help?

  • Iphoto 8 no longer exports to quicktime in wide screen

    I upgraded to Leopard and iLife 08 and now when exporting slide shows from iPhoto 8 to quicktime, they are no longer in widescreen. I select widescreen format and preview is fine, but after exporting the format is 4:3. I verified my slideshows that I exported last year and they all are widescreen. Verified movie properties in quicktime and they are not 853x480 as with my previous exports.
    Please provide suggestions on how to do this with iPhoto 8.

    Saving the file from Preview didn't help.
    Here's what did. I had moved the iPhoto library from its default location to a shared location which worked for a time. However, I found another post saying you shouldn't do that. So I moved it back to its original location, exported all the photos, then created a new iPhoto library on the shared disk (held down the Option key when starting iPhoto) then imported all the photos to the new shared library. After that, I was able to import the new photos, and everything seems to be working fine.

  • Converting back to wide screen after burning to DVD

    Hi all,
    Looks like I burned my iDVD project to standard 4.3 and not widescreen mode. I can't see my title menu on my TV when viewing (I used Road trip theme). I deleted my original imovie too soon before I checked it. Is there a way to make a wide screen version of my finished iDVD project?
    Thanks
    web dude

    You mean other than starting over in iMovie? Yes there is. It may sound complicated but it isn't really!
    First go to http://www.mydvdedit.com/index.php?lang=english and download myDVDedit. This is shareware although the download is free. Send the guy a few dollars/euros, he deserves it. While you are there, read all about it. Now install it in your Applications Folder. You will need it later.
    Open your Movies Folder. Create a new folder. Name it PROJECTNAME – TS FILES (where ‘projectname’ is the name of your project!). Close the folder. You can of course call it anything you like, but this aids identification.
    Double-click on the DVD icon to open a folder containing the AUDIO_TS files and VIDEO_TS files. Drag and drop these to the folder you created in your Movies Folder. (This takes a moment).
    Click on the AUDIO_TS folder and go to Get Info in the file menu. Right down the bottom is where you have to change the permissions. Under ‘Ownership & Permissions’ change this from Read Only to Read & Write. Click the small triangle next to Details, scroll down and click on ‘Apply to enclosed items’. You will be asked for your root password. Close the get info window, and now click on the VIDEO_TS folder and do the same. Close the Projectname-TS Files folder. You have now allowed yourself to change the properties of the contents of those folders, which leads us to the next all-important step.
    Open myDVDedit. Go to File and open the projectname TS Files folder. By all means stare at it shock and awe, but don’t bother finding out what it can do, except for the following:
    Top left you fill see a list of files. Lower centre you have a large window. On the vertical menu to the left of that, click te middle one (VTS or VMG).
    In the window at the top left, ignore ‘First Play’ (if there was anything to correct in that, myDVDedit will have done so and told you).
    Click on VMG Menu en (English). Now the whole thing springs to life.
    Set Coding Mode to MPEG-2 (if it isn’t already)
    Set Standard to PAL (or NTSC if that is what you want)
    Set Aspect to 16:9 (not any of the other options)
    Now save the file.
    Click on VTS Menu 1 en (English) and repeat as above.
    Click on VTS Menu 2 and repeat as above.
    You have now permanently ‘fixed’ the entire contents of the TS folder (the disk image) in 16:9 aspect. Close myDVDedit – you won’t need it again until the next project!
    If you have Roxio Toast, open it. ‘Select DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS’. Choose Select from the main Toast window and select your projectname-TS Files folder. You are now ready to burn! You can set the burn speed (2x recommended) before the burn commences. Allow Toast to verify the burn before you eject the DVD-R disk.
    If you don’t have Toast, then I assume you can burn the projectname-TS Files folder (disk image) via Disk Utility. I say ‘assume’ only because I have never tried it that way.
    Either way, you now have a DVD which will play as 16:9 widescreen on any TV set, even the old ones where you can’t ask it to letter-box.
