I did say that I was connected to a tv but neglected to say through my Sony HDR-FX1E. An archaic way to view but works for me and I didn't have any other connectors. Although I would think this is the most likely way to see it as it would be on a tv instead of just using the tv as an extra computerby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Combining footage with different pixel aspect ratios - 15 years agoI will just finish this off in here since that's where we are. I'll remember next time about new threads. I have not had this kind of problem before. It was really weird. I know that FCP6 has the great feature of being able to handle different aspects on one timeline. I think I'll have a test day when I have a try with some footage just to see what happened (if I can recreate the problem).

Hold all my footage on an external Lacie 500gb harddrive. I have watched everything on an external Samsung TV linked up as a monitor so I could see how it looks. I haven't had breakfast yet and need a coffee. Now you have all that information:- I am editing a wedding in PAL 16.9 shot on a Sony HDR-FX1E. Everything looks great.by Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Two Edit to tape problems - 16 years agoHi I am having that problem too. Sorted it out by opening Avid and it asked me to reconfigure the camera. I did that and it worked. Then it worked in FCP again. I dont know why but am glad it worked. Cheersby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Help! 4:3 to 16:9 - 17 years agoSorry. The footage was filmed in DV. Not really using the HDV function on my cam at present. Thanks for the suggestion Andy. I'll give that a try. Also thanks filmman. Wanting 16:9 really. Lisaby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Help! 4:3 to 16:9 - 17 years agoHi there, Just a question I hope you can help me with. A week ago I filmed a wedding in 16:9 on my camera (Sony HDR-FX1E). My assistant filmed in 4:3 on her camera (a borrowed Canon XL1). While not impressed with this blunder I still have the need to work with the footage. Is there any way I can work it so that in the end result it appears to be 16:9. I have tried using the widescreen filby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Hi guys one more question about pixel size - 17 years agoHi Ben, Actually your answer was just what I needed. I guess that I got confused about the difference between cine and video. Not an area I have looked into much. All of the things you said clarified what I had in my mind.....I just didn't know I was that confused. So what you gave was pertinent advice even if you didn't think so. So thanks again and no doubt I will be back sometime withby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Hi guys one more question about pixel size - 17 years agoOk so now I'm really confiused.... but I think Ben you may have answered my question. I shall go away and ponder these figures and give them a go and see what happens. At least I have some sizes to go by and I must say that it is immensely fantastic that I can come in here and ask questions without you telling me I'm mad or something. I really am just trying to push myself into a learning curby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Hi guys one more question about pixel size - 17 years agoIf I want the aspect ratio to be 2.35 (2.40) what pixel size in Photoshop would it need to be then for PAL. Looking at my options. Thanks for your help. Lisaby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Pixel size from Photoshop to Pal FCP HD - 17 years agoThank you I will give it a go later this evening when I can play. If I have any more questions I will get back to you. Yours Lisaby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Pixel size from Photoshop to Pal FCP HD - 17 years agoHello. I am trying to take Photoshop images for backgrounds into FCP. I need the pixel size for HD in Pal. I have tried 720x576 widescreen, 1280x720, and 1920x1080. I change the sequence settings to match but the images are squashed into a squarer shape. I remember hearing something about the pixels being square and rectangle in the two different programs but thought that FCP5 and PhotoshopCby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: High Res Frames - 18 years agoHey thanks guys. All that info is great. My friends and I are currently making an animated movie in Maya where we will have to export each frame of the animation and import it into FCP. There will be no movement necessary on individual frames as each frame holds that info already. I shall take your thoughts back to our TD and director. I am aware that my ram isn't sufficient but am pretty sureby Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA Re: Do I lose quality doing this? - 18 years agoI cant quite understand why you would even capture into iMovie first. Is it so that you can dump your deleted footage with greater ease?by Lisa Imbruglia - Café LA High Res Frames - 18 years agoHi there, If in making an animated movie I am importing high resolution frames of say 5 meg each, what size do I need to compress them to so that FCP can handle it. I run FCP 5 on G5 dual 2 Ghz processor with 1 gb ram and 10.4.4. With Maxtor 6Y160MO serial aTA Bus. . Also have access to 5.1 on intel G5 iMac. Thanks.
