Well, they kinda were the only game in town. 😉

would resizing the foreground clip a few px hide it?

That’s perfect. 🙂 It reminds me of the fun that could be had with ResEdit. I am old… 🙂

FTA…
The site also says Apple will be changing its AppleCare service — which currently attaches to individual devices, requiring customers to buy a new AppleCare plan for each computer and iOS device they purchase — into a subscription service that will attach to a particular customer instead of a product. Apple’s One to One program works in a similar manner.

The new subscription service could include “exclusive” 24/7 support, though AppleInsider notes that the feature set is not finalized yet and could still change. The complimentary support structure could be changing as well. Currently, Apple includes free phone support for 90 days with every product. The new AppleCare could extend that support to a year or more, and possibly include new live support options such as chat via iMessage.

Sounds good to me…

[Rowena Megan] ” so how do I drag it out like you said?”

find the compound clip that is too short(what you’re calling your project) in your event browser

from the File menu, choose “New Project” Leave the settings as they are (it’ll say something like set properties based on first clip)and make sure the default event selected is the event in which you have located your sequence above. Click OK

in the event, select the compound clip containing your sequence and hit D to cut it into the new project. drag the end of the clip out as far as it’l go and you should be all set.
Alternately, you can select the clip you just dropped into the new project, and from the Clip menu choose “Break Apart Clip Items”. Then your timeline will appear and you will now actually have a project that you can extend to the end of time if you want. 🙂

To sum up… Compound Clips can be opened in a timeline and edited like a project, but they are not the same as projects…

[Bret Williams] “I’ve even heard the argument for 852 because it’s divisible by 4. And maybe that does produce better results. “

As I’m in the midst of an anamorphic SD clusterf… uh, job now. I’ll try the 85x settings and see if there’s a noticeable difference. Also, I was told there would be no math. 😉

[Rowena Megan] “But the additional time over 25min appears outside the project area and in an area covered with diagonal black thin lines (still visible but covered with lines), which means when I tried to export the project, it only wants to export the first 25min. If I do I and O and then export, it changes the length of the export but how do I lengthen the project itself to include the added clips? Thanks!”

It’s because you’ve cut you sequence in a compound clip, not a project. the solution is to go to the project library, (little film can icon) and make a new project (make sure to choose the proper event to asociate it with when you create it) Then cut the Compound Clip (what you’re calling your project) in to t)he project (cmd D) then highlight it and press SHFT-CMD-G to break it apart. then you can extend it as much as you like. Also, I’d suggest reading up on the difference between CC’s and Projects… They each have Pros and cons… 🙂

[Bret Williams] “854”

864! 🙂 Maybe we’re both right… Here’s a discussion of the 854 vs 864 “problem”

[Michael W. Towe] “On a side note I forgot how bad standard def really is… how did we ever watch this blurry stuff??”

No kidding… been on an SD project recently… yuck. Anyway… 2 places to look in the inspector when the clip is selected…

1-Info (in “settings” view) there’s an anamorphic override menu when applicable.. widescreen should work.

Also in the video tab under “spatial conform” there are 3 settings to try.

One of those things should work….

Oh… I should add… if the SD stuff is anamorphic (squeezed 720×480) make a compressor export setting with a custom size of 864×480 or you’ll run into… issues.

[Jeff Kirkland] “3. If there are compound clips in the project, particularly compound clips nested in other compound clips weird voodoo can happen so you might try breaking them all apart and seeing if that helps.”

Yeah, CC’s, while better than the original implementation, still cause some weirdness. They’re a great feature, but still a little odd when it comes to rendering.
