Widescreen or not & exporting

Hi all.
I know a little bit about video processing, but I'm getting frustrated with what I hoped would be an easy process. Bought a dv camera, and have taken a few tapes worth of footage of my new sons. Finally found some time to import into iMovie, but I'm confused re. widescreen options, and also how to export it into something useful.
I have a:-
Canon MV850i
It claims it's "real" widescreen. It sure shoots in it, and when looking at the footage looks pretty ok in widescreen.
What should I import it into iMove as? DV or Widescreen DV? Widescreen DV (PAL) looks good, but if I leave it as DV when importing it just letterboxes it and it also looks fine. Does the fact that it doesn't automatically reselect Widescreen DV for the project mean I should just be using DV? (if you get the PAL/NTSC thing wrong I think it auto-corrects)?
So, at the moment I'm using DV-PAL-Widescreen according to iMovie. If I export the "Full quality" or go to the raw clip inside the movie project, MPEG Streamclip and Quicktime show it as 4:3, but it looks wrong. If I export, it creates a 1040x576 correct 16:9 video, but the raw files seem to be 720x576. Should I just ignore that?
Also, when I export to AppleTV it looks AWEFUL. Horizontal lines that I assume is the interlacing. Is this normal? Why does the raw DV file (the 4:3 one) look perfect?
Is the camera's raw format interlaced? If so, I assume it's good that it's left interlaced while editing, but why isn't it "fixed" when exporting to AppleTV? Why don't I see it in the raw .dv file? How do I fix the AppleTV export (or at least make it watchable by de-interlacing it?
I'm probably not clear in parts, just let me know what I should try to explain again.
I'd love to be able to watch some of this footage at last!
Thanks.

Thanks. I've unchecked the pillarboxing thing.
I think that iMovie does actually autoselect PAL/NTSC, btw. My experience, and sites like the one below seem to confirm it.
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#PALNTSC
Anyway, I suppose the two things I'm most concerned confused about at the moment are:-
1 -
If I look at the .dv in the project, the "info" screen says 768x576, i.e. 4:3. It plays back fine (i.e. clear, sharp and no visible interlacing). Why is it like this not 16:9? Is that just the way .dv works? Why Should I be using widescreen in the camera (for shooting new stuff)?
2 -
Why is the movement so blury in iMovie? picking a random frame, it's always blury and if you look at a frame with movement, edges have a solid edge and a faint "ghost" edge near them. This isn't noticable when looking at the 4:3 dv in quicktime.
3 -
How do I export with AppleTV setting and avoid the interlacing look? The .dv doesn't view like this, and it's the worst interlacing I've seen... almost like it's extra wide - like the 16:9 has stretched the interlacing even more than it is in 4:3 - in which case it's killing the quality.
Is my camera cheating with the 16:9 stuff? Very frustrating.
Thanks all!

  • Which functions and features in Numbers are NOT exported correctly to Excel?

    I wish to know EXACTLY which functions I use in a Numbers sheet WILL FAIL to export correctly to an Excel or Neoffice spreadsheet.
    For instance, I created a Numbers spreadsheet using prolific use of the IFERROR function. However, when I EXPORT to XLS, all the cells that used the IFERROR function were replaced by the literal value of the cell. My IFERROR formulae were not EXPORTED as I had expected.
    I note that some formulae were converted correctly in my EXPORTED spreadsheet: eg MAX, MIN, AVERAGE.
    I understand that IFERROR was a function introduced recently to Excel, ie in the 2007 version. Consequently, I suspect that Numbers exports to a pre-2007 version of Excel. If so, which version?
    I have found this list that shows which functions are compatable amongst various versions of Excel:
    Excel Functions: Compatibility Reference (2010, 2007 & 2003). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsHau4_IeCfwdG45c0VhcjBBUGNreVo2ZzN NRU1BT0E#gid=0
    This list shows that, for instance, IFERROR exisits inb both Excel 2007 and Numbers-09. So why is IFERROR not exported?
    Curmi, J. (n.d.). Summary of function in excel and numbers-09. Retrieved from http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/functions-in-excel-and-numbers- 09.pdf
    Some examples of my use of ISERROR in Numbers are as follows:
    =IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
    =IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
    =IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
    I use the above function to  carry out the calculation ONLY IF  a cell is non-blank and contains a number.
    More questions
    What are the rules that Numbers uses to convert to Excel?
    Is Numbers converting to the 2003 version of Excel? ... or an earlier version? ... which version?
    Why desn't Numbers advise me there were conversion errors or simplifications made?
    eg: "Cell A33 Function IFERROR was exported to the cell value for Excel"
    Is there a preference that I can select which version of Excel that Numbers will export to?
    In the meantime, I must abandon Numbers and use NeoOffice!

    Thanks,
    I applied your suggested ISERROR transformation to examples such as:
    =IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
    =IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
    =IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
    However, a caution for young players....
    Certainly, the ISERROR function exports to .xls. However, it behaves differently in NeoOffice.
    Items 1 and 2 function identically in the case of say, ranking a row in which some cells are blanks.
    Item 3, when translated using ISERROR to =IF(ISERROR(C32-C88+1),"", C32-C88+1), results in "" (ie error is raised) in Numbers but yields figure 0 in NeoOffice when there is a blank in either of the cells.
    I  recall from programming school in the mid-1970s that using GOTO statements and On Error branch statements were not admissible as routine programming steps. In fact, we received an automatic fail grade if we used a GOTO or GOTO like construction. So, I have found a more programmatically elegant way to solve my problem: eg:
    =IF(C88="","",C32-C88+1)
    Curiously, earlier I found/suspect this does not work equivalently in Numbers and NeoOffice:
    =IF(ISBLANK(C88),"",C32-C88+1)
    When you try using ISBLANK you always get an intuitively unexpected result because ISBLANK ONLY gives TRUE when there is absolutely nothing in a cell. A Formula reference in the cell, even if the function result yields "", gives FALSE... because, according to the definition of ISBLANK the cell contains a formula.
    As I tell my students, ALWAYS lookup the HELP on any function you use. ALWAYS test the function to see how it performs!.... and lesson 3: Always test your spreadsheet on different systems.... then hope!
    FYI:
    Here's a  link to my Spreadsheet (Neoffice .xls) and a video explaining its use.

  • Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

    I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents.  I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly.  When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked.  When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
    After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere.  The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC.  (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it).  The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works.  I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions.  It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
    This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist.  It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
    Here's what I've tried:
    * restarting InDesign
    * restarting my machine
    * deleting the TOC and regenerating it
    * generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
    * moving the TOC to its own document
    * probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
    All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
    I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions.  This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009.  Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4                     By (c_goates)
    So here's hoping there is some new information.  I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
    Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
    Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually.  Thanks in advance for any advice. 

    There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

  • Lightroom 2.0 will not export to Photoshop CS3

    OK,
    So I downloaded and installed lightroom 2.0 this morning and things are not working well.
    System: Macpro 2.8, 8 gb ram, os x 10.5.4, nikon d300 raw files
    The problem...
    It started with Lightroom not exporting any images to photoshop. Doesn't matter if I try to send 1 or 20, I get a spinning beach ball, then nothing. if photoshop is closed it will open it, but nothing gets loaded into it. Plain export, merge to panoramic, edit as smart object, nothing does anything.
    Tried in both 32 and 64 bit modes, tried re-installing Lightroom 2.0 from scratch. still nothing. I sent a sample raw file into adobe and am waiting to hear back, but figured I'd see what everyone else thinks as well.

    @jc:
    >However.....that being said, if I 'Edit in CS3' a raw file-it now opens and I can make changes to it in CS3. When I save it, the resultant saved file is not stacked beside the original. All my folders are on my L: drive, in a hierarchal structure. After saving, I have a second occurrence of L: in the volume list, with a repeat of the original folder name ... and it contains 1 file (the one I saved). I have to manually synchronize the 'real' folder to pick up the file saved from CS3. Then I can delete the 'phantom' folder.
    Replace the 'L:' with an 'E:' and you accurately describe what I observe.

  • What Keynote features will not export well to PowerPoint?

    I am an expert PC user switching to mac...
    We use MS Live Meeting for webinars, and it only accepts (as far as I know) PowerPoint presentations. I would like to produce the presentation in Keynote, and then save as to PowerPoint. However, my experience with Pages importing office 07 has been disappointing to say the least.
    So, before I spend a lot of time learning Keynote, I would like to know what features of Keynote WILL NOT export properly to PPT. I don't want to spend a lot of time creating cool effect (magic move?) only to realize it was wasted.
    Is there a URL that explains what won't work? Is there a way to gray out features in keynote that will not work in PPT?
    Thanks
    bob

    Here are a few issues with exporting:
    Generally the transitions will not export well -- any of the effects that are not directly available in PowerPoint will not transfer at all, and even those that are available (such as "dissolve") for the most part look worse in PowerPoint than in Keynote. This includes "content-aware slide transitions" such as Magic Move, Text Effects, and Object Effects transitions.
    Smart Builds are not supported at all. Action Builds are not supported at all.
    "Normal" Builds In and Out have limited support -- again, any of the animations not directly available in PowerPoint will not transfer.
    In terms of graphics, Drop Shadows have limited support -- any shadows will be rendered as a solid colour, without translucency or feathered edges. Text translucency is not supported, although image translucency is. Image Adjustments are respected in export.
    (The above is all gleaned from spending 5 minutes playing with Keynote. If you want to determine if some specific effect is available, I'd suggest downloading the trial version and see what happens.)
    I have used Keynote quite successfully to create PowerPoint presentations, but for the most part I avoided any animations/transitions, and used it primarily for its templates, graphic abilities, and easier management of slides (e.g., I find it far more straightforward to edit templates in Keynote than in PowerPoint). Also, I always check the finished product very carefully in PowerPoint, as it is not uncommon for text spacing to be somewhat different.

  • I can not export my Final Cut Pro X Project

    Hi everyone
    I am seeking help big time!
    I have completed my FCP project on FCPX, but I can not export.
    When I click on "export project" it does nothing and when I send to compressor or trying to export by using compressor settings or trying to export to media browsers ot apple devices, it says " failed" even before starting to export
    All my files at my project are rendered alredy.
    I have re-installed FCPX
    I have purchased latest version of compressor (4.1)
    BTW I am on Mavericxs 10.9.1
    What might be the problem?
    Any help is much appreciated
    Thank you in advance for the help
    Regards
    Yusuf

    I have this same issue also, on my MacBook Pro. When I click 'export project' nothing comes up at all.
    It's very frustrating and I have tried everything also:
    All files rendered
    Re-installed FCPX
    The only change i've made since it has started happening was upgrading to Mavericks OS X 10.9.1. So it has to be something to do with that.
    I was wondering and hoping if you have since solved the problem, and can help me with a solution to amend it.
    If anyone else can help it will be much appreciated, and most thankful.

  • Premiere does not export timeline... Urgent!

    Hi there,
    I just came back from grading with my 40 minutes film.
    They gave me a 4K 10bit DPX sequence.
    I dropped in into my timeline, added some effects and want to export the film with audio now.
    Unfortunately Premiere and Media Encoder do not export the film.
    I can't even render the timeline with the command "Render Timeline".
    I'm on the latest Premiere CC on Windows 7 Professional.
    Thanks

    Every time I tried to export the timeline Premiere started rendering audio clips.
    I had about 200 seperate audio files spread across the timeline.
    After the audio rendering was done Premiere wouldn't start with the video. It just stuck at 0 percent.
    I just made a copy of my project and deleted all the audio files from the timeline.
    Now premiere is rendering and exporting without any problems.
    I might have to merge the audio channels into one file and then put it all together.

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 not exporting edits

    I have used iPhoto for 4 yrs and purchased a new macbook over the holidays which runs Mavericks and iphoto 9.5.1.
    On my new system everything worked fine for a few days but now suddenly when I edit a photo then file/export the edits are not exporting, just the original file. I have tried exporting as 'current', 'jpeg', etc....nothing is working.
    Here is the kicker, it has randomly worked a couple times. I have yet to figure out what I am doing to trigger the edits to export. I have tried restarting iphoto, adjusting different edit items (crop + an adjustment as I saw in another thread), but I can't figure out the trigger.
    HELP, I am pulling out my hair trying to get simple work done!
    (note, I went back and also noticed edits are not saving in iphoto in general, if I go between photos in the event it reverts back to the original again)

    Still not working...still completely random. I have run through all the suggested solutions multiple times. 
    Sometimes I import/edit/export no problems. Sometimes import/edit, and it doesn't export edits the first time, but if I go back adjust again it saves the second time (with no change in my process). Sometimes I can't get the edits to export at all after playing with the photo multiple times, reimporting, etc.
    Even odder, sometimes the thumbnail in iPhoto adjust to the edits I have made and sometimes it doesn't. As in the thumbnail will change but it still won't export the edits. 
    I am trying to find a pattern so I can track the cause but seriously there is no consistancy. Most of the time I am just editing thumbnails for a video.
    Process goes as follows:
    -take a screenshot
    -file/import to the library
    -crop (and hit done)
    -go to file/export
    Pretty simple process. About 2 out of every 3 imports doesn't save the edits. Sometimes when I hit 'export' it says 'saving changes' before asking how I want to save, other times it doesn't. Whether it says 'saving changes' or not doesn't seem to effect if it actually saves the edits.
    Today I pulled a screen shot in and it took 3 imports and half a dozen edits and suddenly it exported the cropped version. I didn't change anything I was running in the background, I worked on the same screenshot, same process. Finally on the 6th crop it exported the edit.
    Off to find another program that is simple for these quick edits (I always used iphoto for simple crops and edits just because it was quick...ha!). If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

  • Keynote symbols not exporting to PDF

    How do I make Keynote export % symbols to a PDF? For some reason it is not exporting. I tried using multiple fonts. I was pretty surprised to see that Keynote was leaving characters off of exports. Usually Apple is pretty good about accuracy.
    Yosemite OS 10.10.2 
    Keynote 6.5.2 (2119)
    Macbook Pro 15 Retina
    Fonts tried:  Helvetica, Futura Std
    Could not export % symbols adjacent to numbers

    Sorry. my bad on version numbers. The latest patch for CS4 is 6.0.6, but you might want to stop at 6.0.5 if you have file with imported Illustrator graphics because, if memory serves, the 6.0.6 patch changes the way they are scaled on relink.
    Do you actually have an InDesign Document open when you go to File > Export...? I presume the answer is yes or the command would not be active.
    When the export dialog opens you should see a standard file save dialog with a large area that shows folders and files, and two fields below where you can enter a name and choose a file type to export. What do you see in the file type field? If it isn't PDF, can you click the arrow on the end and choose Adobe PDF?
    What is showing in the name field? Are you able to enter a new name of your choice?
    I suspect that at some point you may have changed the name of the PDF you exported from the file (the default is to use the same file name, but you can enter anything you like), then saved the .indd file after doin the export. When you do this you embed the new PDF file name into the file and it will always be selected the next time you try to export. If I recall correctly, exporting to .idml or .inx, then opeing that and resaving as a new .indd should clear that, and simply changing the name for the export to match the filename  of the docuemtn may work as well.
