Working with different resolution clips in single sequence

hi all,
because a large amount of footage i'm using for my film, i'm trying to troubleshoot some issues. one big issue is this:
i've already captured lots of footage at standard dv ntsc. because of the space issue, i'm thinking of capturing the rest of the footage in offlineRT.
i did a test and found that i can work with both footage resolutions in a sequence whose settings are for offlineRT as long as i set the RT popup window to unlimited RT and half (playback frame rate). no rendering needs to be done to see the high res footage for playback with these settings.
my question is this: when i go to up res the footage, does the computer automatically take into account the fact that some footage is already up resed already? are there other issues/problems/challenges i need to be aware of not outlined in the manuals?
thanks for any help!
peace,
ses25

jerry offered some advice, but implied he had no real experience with this. i'm wondering if there's someone who has specific experience with working this way.

HP 6730b can I swap screens with different resolutions?

Hi,
Is it possible to swap screens with different resolutions on a HP 6730b?
Mine is 1680x1050 pixels and I want to find a 1280x800 screen to replace it.
(letters are far too small for an old fart like me. ;-)
The resolution list does support 1280x800 but it looks like viewing the screen through dirty glasses.
Just wondering if the interface is the same.
Cheers,
Bas

Usually people want to go in the other direction. Here is the Service Manual:
Manual link
The parts list shows a panel that is SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and a WXGA (1280 x 768 or 800) panel.
There are multiple motherboards, but the only difference appaears to be whether there is a slot for a cellular card or not. In other words if you install the WXGA panel the motherboard should work with it and you will get 1280 x 800 resolution looking good. Laptop displays and other digital panels only work at their maximum aka native resolution and you get that muddy look if you try to run them at a lower res. You want to buy the whole panel with the cable designed for the WXGA....sometimes the cables will not work with a different resolution screen. Post back if you need further help finding a screen. You may find it cheaper and easier to sell or trade your laptop for one with the lower resolution screen.

Ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture

Can you add to the Lightroom an ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture?
Base raw files can be given with exposure bracketing during shooting, for example.
The goal - to get maximum details in darks and lights (if we use the "ligths recovery" or "fill lights" we lose the quality because raw file just have no all required information).
The similar (but not the same, only the idea) thing - is High Dynamic Range Photography in Adobe Photoshop
Thank you

The plugin LR/Enfuse does this already. And of course Photomatix have a plugin available for Lightroom. This essentially amounts to pixel editing, which is beyond the range of Lightroom's metadata editing.

Is it possible to work with different languages in different applications?

Hi,
is it possible to work with different languages in different applications?
To have f.e. Photoshop in English and Indesign in Dutch??
Thanks!

I am not sure about it that you can use different apps in different language in the same computer, however you can check the following links:

Working with 30 Camera angles in multicam sequence, best workflow, too many cams for system to play all at once

Working with 30 Camera angles in multicam sequence, best workflow, too many cams for system to play all at once

Get a halfway decent system, something like:

How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

Im doing a drumming music video and with the multi cam clip all the angles are nicely sync'd top the audio.
Problem is if i want to have 3 angles on top of the main shot, im gonna have to re-sync them all to get them to line up manually. If i could use the multi cam clip they will already be aligned
Thanks for trying to help appreciate, hoping someone has some multiclip knowledge and will be able to tell me if yay or nay.

Layout with different resolutions

Hallo and good morning!
Once again I need some advice:
I have a program that is running on different machines with different resolutions.
Is it possible to avoid, that the layout is paning all around?
Best regards
Hilby
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Hilby,
No... that is currently a limitation of the layouts, where we try to adapt to each screen, but the objects and the layout may not fit into a different aspect ratio with a different number of pixels.
The aspect ratio is the most important, followed by the total resolution of the screen.
Some more information on aspect ratios is below.
In summary, DASYLab is unable to completely adapt the "Screen" layout for evey monitor size and resolution. If you want to have a fixed layout that does not completely occupy some monitors, then consider using a fixed size, like A4 or A3.
If you make something on a big monitor, 1600x1200 for example, and move it to a wide screen monitor,, 1600x900.
From my friends at Wikipedia
With computer displays, aspect ratios wider than 4:3 are also called widescreen. Widescreen computer displays were previously typically of 16:10 aspect ratio, now they are shifting to 16:9.
Until about 2003, most computer monitors had a 4:3 aspect ratio and some had 5:4. Between 2003 and 2006, monitors with 16:9 and mostly 16:10 (8:5) aspect ratios became commonly available

Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

Working with different sequence time-bases in the same Project..

Hi
My question is specific but hopefully will clear my understanding of how to deal with multiple frame rates in the one project...
I am supervising a project shot at 23.98 fps native in the DVCPro HD codec and editing in FCP 6.02.
The editor is cutting scenes in separate sequences.
Unfortunately they accidentally created a new sequence set for DV-NTSC, 29.97 fps and cut a scene in there. FCP must have prompted them about the mistake when the first clip was added... but they ignored it I guess.
When the scenes are compiled together in a single sequence (23.98fps) the incorrectly formatted DV one is all messed up size wise and aspect ratio (of course).
How to fix?
Here's what I've tried and failed at...
The source DV sequence can't be reset in itself because I can't change the timebase.....
If the DV sequence's clips are copied and pasted into a new 23.98 sequence the clips are still the wrong size... and there seems no way to change these attributes.
I tried exporting an EDL for the DV sequence and reimporting and relinking clips in a new 23.98 sequence... but the DV source has more than 2 Video tracks so EDL transfer won't work.
XML export/import just duplicates the original DV sized sequence..
I'm probably missing something .... like well, remake a new sequence correctly and re-edit it! But now I'm interested in what I'm missing here.
Anyone?
Thanks
Lee

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

Why are my HD videos all importing with different resolutions?

Hi, I tried looking through like 10 pages of discussions on here and didn't see anybody else having this problem.
I have a Canon Vixia HF200, I keep the settings on MXP (highest quality 1920 x 1080). Every time I log and transfer my videos they import at different resolutions (everything from the same day will be the same), some of them come in as 1440 x 1080, 720 x 480, etc, when they should all be 1920 x 1080.
So, since some of them ended up being a completely different aspect ratio, I went into Motion>Distort and changed them all to 1920 x 1080, and I thought it was fine, but now I'm noticing that some of the videos look really out of focus (it seems like they get more out of focus every time I open it), so I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have stretched them....
I checked the original videos in the browser and they all say 1920 x 1080 now, when I watch them in the viewer, they actually look like good HD videos, but in the canvas they're out of focus...
I'm also working with multiple sequences, and when I copy videos from one sequence to another, it changes the resolution/aspect ratio/scale again, and becomes more blurry when I try to fix it.
So basically, I have a huge mess. I'm working on editing a documentary that I'm making and now most of the video looks bad and I'm not sure how to change it back. I even tried starting a new project and importing the original videos, but they don't seem to have the original quality.
Anybody know how I can either fix this or somehow replace the clips in the sequence with the originals in the browser to at least get some quality back?
Also, a lot of the time when I render, I come back to the computer and it says something like "Error: Illegal (something) render failed" and completely loses the rendering that it spent a long time doing.
I appreciate any help.
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Your 1920x1080 clips most likely import at their normal frame size, and then you placed them in the wrong sequence. Make sure your +File > Easy Setup+ is set to *Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60* before you create a new sequence.

[SOLVED] Configure dual head with different resolutions xf86-video-ati

I have 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 monitors which I would like to setup so that I have two displays (:0.0 and :0.1), i.e. can't drag a window to the other display, but can move the mouse from one screen to the next. The graphics card is Radeon HD 4850.
At the moment I have one screen only, so I can't move the mouse from the first to the second screen, it is captive in the first screen.

It doesn't look as if xrandr can help as it reports a maximum virtual desktop of 1680x1680.
Because the two monitors are different resolutions I don't know if a single screen is the answer.
I used to have two displays/screens configured to two different resolutions matching the monitors using the catalyst driver but can't get it working using the xf86-video-ati driver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Playlists don't work with separate audio clips

I have a timeline with 8 different clips and chapter playlists set up to play each clip individually and to play them in pairs. This works fine.
But when I add audio to the timeline it goes wrong. I have 8 different audio clips that match up with the video clips. If I view the timeline itself, everything is OK. If I view the first clip's playlist (with the first audio clip) it also works OK. But if I view any of the other playlists, the DVD (and previewer) return me back to the menu as soon as the audio track starts (this is the end action). If I delete any of the audio tracks, the playlists for those videos work fine again.
I also see similar behaviour on another timeline where a second audio clip starts midway: the chapter immediately before the new audio track is skipped in a playlist and the DVD plays the subsequent chapter (there are many chapters on that timeline).
The only solution I've come up with is to burn a DVD with no audio, rip the video, line up the audio tracks I want to use with the video, export them all in one big file and then add that single clip into Encore. It's not really something I want to do, to be honest.
Is there any explanation for this strange behaviour, or is it another bug?
Thanks for any help or pointers towards sorting this out.

I'm with Neil on the 8 separate Timelines. There are pitfalls to grouping multiple Clips onto one Timeline, and even an Audio Unit's difference in Duration can cause issues.
If you do go with the discrete Timelines workflow, you'll just do Playlists, and not Chapter Playlists instead.
Good luck,
Hunt

Working with offline resolution

When you edit a project in an offline resolution, how do you create elements in Photoshop and other programs that you do not want to recreate?
For example, I have a project that is being shot on HDCAM (1080i), and will finally end up on DigiBeta and HDCAM, but I want to edit it at home at DV25 or DV 50 resolution. I need to create some elements in Photshop that I will fly around in Motion for an open animation.
My project at home will be created as a DV 25 or DV 50 project, but should my photoshop elements be created at HD sizes so that when I take the project to a real edit suite those elements are at the correct size, etc?
I am new to FCP and to working in different formats, so pardon me if the question is simplistic...

Make them in their final format, and just cut them into your offline sequence. When you media manage that sequence in the end changing to the full res, any element that doesn't have a reel name associated with it (titles too) will simply upres to the full resolution in the media managed sequence.

Working with Lo-Res Clips

I know you can capture footage lo-res so speed things, then recapture at full res later. Question I have is, many times I take a project with me to work on it at home. This requires the use of the beast-Media Manager. This of course require huge amounts of disk space and then you have to worry about the duped clips on your system.
Can I take a project home (:30 spots) in some sort of offline, lo-res form so I don't have to transport 2 GB around? Then when I get back to the office, reconnect to the original hi-res clips?
Note: most of these projects are more graphics, timing and titles than pure editing.
Thanks.

Well, since you're soliciting opinions...
As much as possible, I would avoid working with online clips in one setup (work) and offline clips at another (home) because you can't really share project files or XML.
Yes, you could conceivably use Media Manager every time you're done at work or at home to uprez/downrez to produce a suitable project file for transport, but I'd argue that's really pressing your luck when it comes to our beloved Media Mangler.
The only solution I would consider viable is to have duplicate media in both places in the same resolution. If a project is 2GB of primarily titles, graphics and whatnot, I'd burn the media to a DVD-R. Of course, I take it you're not attempting that for some particular reason?
