Re: Setting question I edited a seq in a lower compressed format but now need to connect it to 8bit. - 15 years ago
Hey Nick Thanks I think creating custom seems to have done the trick. I took the 8 bit setting and copied it. changed the dimensions to 1920x1080 pixel aspect ratio square saved it as Witt_trailer_recompress (not ditzy_settings--as tempting as the suggestion was) Then I did the whole media manage recreate timeline thing, reconnected the files to the 8 bit footage and voila! it was fiby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: Setting question I edited a seq in a lower compressed format but now need to connect it to 8bit. - 15 years ago
Not Window Settings but experimenting with "motion" settings and shrinking the image. I know that is not the right thing to do, but was just checking how much larger the image was than the viewer. I don't know how to change the timeline to be 1920x1080. I tired going to seq settings and then putting those dimensions in the frame size window by using the custom window and it turns itby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: Setting question I edited a seq in a lower compressed format but now need to connect it to 8bit. - 15 years ago
Hey Nick Thank you for the help. I did what you suggested and that did the trick-- almost. The aspect ratio of the file is 1920x1080 And the largest setting that does not distort the footage is the 1280 one... but the footage is way outside the viewer-- and has to be reduced to 70% to make it be seen. if I try and set the window to 1920x1080 it turns it into 1080i and the clip gets veryby ditzydame - Café LA
Setting question I edited a seq in a lower compressed format but now need to connect it to 8bit. - 15 years ago
I made a film. When the film was finished, I had a company make a 8 bit uncompressed version of the D5 tape so I could have the film digital on my computer--well, at least on a drive attached to my computer. Well, when I tried to edit down the video to a shorter version, I found the footage was too big to play on my system because the system was not powerful enough. So I made a smaller manageaby ditzydame - Café LA

Re: Creation of a DCP 2398 PSF - 16 years ago
Ha! thats funny-- cause thats actually what it sounded like he was saying to me when I asked him to repeat it... sigh. Do you know what folks actually project as Digital files? When the project digitally for theaters, I mean. Basically I'm just trying to get to that. caroleby ditzydame - Café LA

It might have been DCI. I unfortunately wrote Down both, so I was hoping someone here would know what I was talking about Either way, if I gave enough information. Caroleby ditzydame - Café LA

Creation of a DCP 2398 PSF - 16 years ago
Hello, I'm looking at trying to do a screening at the Lammle theater. The man who they are bringing in to do digital projections says that he needs a DCP 2398i Is that something I can do myself from my uncompressed 8 bit 1080 file? And what, if I can, would I need to output it as? Thanks Caroleby ditzydame - Café LA

How much space does HD occupy on a hard drive - 16 years ago
I have a 40 minute film on d5 tape. I am going to get it digitized so I can turn it into a DvD down the road. How much space do I need to have on my hard drive that I take to the post house for them to offload the transfered footage? Thank you in advance for your answer Caroleby ditzydame - Café LA
D5 transfers/DVD and for Scaling - 16 years ago
I just got back my film on D5. I would like to get it dubbed to DVD-- however, I also need to Scale it to a larger size. I need these to be two separate things because the scaled version is so I can pay to put it in theater, whereas I would like to have a copy of the film stay the original specs for scaling would be with a minimum projector resolution of 2048 by 1080 pixels; source image formaby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: green slug!?!?!?!? - 16 years ago
Jonathan, Did you get your problem resolved? The green slug happened to me when I upgraded my QT. and I was using HD log pro. so the files that had been done that way went green. I had to upgrade the hd log pro, and then I had to get p2 repair, (the demo worked fine) everything after that seemed to be good. Caroleby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: Aspect ratio changes when exporting scene from FC - 16 years ago
I figured it out. The difference is because of the compression. It is 720p60, and if I were to export it at Apple HD pro 720p60 then it makes the file look exactly the same in aspect ratio. If I export it in animation then it does it in 1280x720... Its just confusing because when I import it back into the fcp timeline, then I have to render... and this is okay? right? I thought a file havinby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: Aspect ratio changes when exporting scene from FC - 16 years ago
Hmmm... Okay... So exporting in animation compression is better than "none" compression-- I just didn't want to lose anything so I was using no compression. so i mistakenly assumed none was better. But I still have a problem I didn't have a problem with the Pixel squishing in A/E since I figured it was fine since it went back to normal when it went back into FCP. i was just moreby ditzydame - Café LA
Re: Aspect ratio changes when exporting scene from FC - 16 years ago
Hi, thanks-- I'm a little confused. It doesn't read 128x720 (although I was surprised that it didn't) No, this is the asset as contained in the final cut capture scratch disk and it reads DVCPRO HD (720p60),960x720 (1248x702) millions ..... normal size 1248x702 pixels current size 1248x702 (actual) while the outputted one reads Format: None, 960x720, Millions+ Normal Size 960x72by ditzydame - Café LA
Aspect ratio changes when exporting scene from FC - 16 years ago
Hello, I Just did a search on this and could find it-- if this is a duplicate question and Its been answered, please direct me to the answer, but here it goes. Okay, I have some assets cut into my film that are 960x720. When I open them in quicktime, it reads actual size is 1248x702. Fine. However, when I export the scen from the timeline for use in AE, the scene information reads 960xby ditzydame - Café LA
