It’s worth trying (each frame will be smaller moves). Also, upping the motion blur samples, will make it ‘smoother.’

You can’t change the frame rate in the project properties – once set, they’re permanent. Select all, copy, create new project at proper frame rate, paste.

Chris, there may not be a 2:1 setting on the widescreen matte filter. It’s just a crop. When you nest a sequence in a sequence, and you put a filter on the child (the sequence on the timeline), 2x clicking will open the sequence in it’s own window. Option 2x clicking will open it in the viewer.

February 23, 2011 at 12:01 pm in reply to: Frame size discrepancy (Mac and FCP and Premiere Pro CS5)

There’s nothing to fix because, It’s not broken.

Longer version:
Let’s talk about SD – that will make the HD talk easier.

All SD is 720×480 (or 486). 720 horizontal pixels. Both 4:3 ratio and 16:9 ratios. This constantly causes confusion with people.

Remember legos? I had some legos that were 3 wide, and some that were 4 wide.
Imagine a line of 720 three wide legos.
Imagine a line of 720 FOUR wide legos.

Which is longer (the four wide.) But there’s the SAME AMOUNT of legos in each line! But the 4 wide line is LONGER because it’s not square! (All pixels in SD are non-square.)

You’d fix this if you went to HD, right? They did. They made all the blocks perfectly square.

And then came the prosumer cameras, where Sony and Panasonic chose to use non square pixels to make cheap enough (and compressed enough) pictures.

All editorial software would like to store the raw pixels and distort as necessary to display. This way they’re only handling and processing what you shot – but displaying it correctly (just like they did with anamorphic SD.)

When you air this in HD, it will ‘take the nonsquare pixel ratio’ into account and it will appear correct in broadcast – 1920×1080, but what was shot, stored and processed is only 1440×1080.

Whew.

Wow- yeah, you were outputting video at 16-235 (broadcast safe). Toast doesn’t know what to do with that.

Glad your problem is solved.

CBR? High bit rate? 7.5-8.0 (if you’re using AC3 audio).

There’s not much higher you can go.

21 minute? nope. Not going to happen. The rate that Dave gives you of 233, is about right for a 160×120 video in h.264

You could get about 6 minutes that looked bearable at 320×180 around 220kb/s and 15fps. But 21 min? Nope. Forget it.

It’s not meant to work like this. You’re (rightfully) frustrated that workarounds aren’t obvious to compensate for your existing workaround.

I’d take the render files, DRAG THEM TO A BIN (yes, up in the browser) and use either batch export or SEND TO COMPRESSOR to make them prores and then replace the original DV compressed files.

Chris,

There are two different (easily confusable) things here.

The size of the raw information (could be SD, could be HD) with a matte on it to give the appearance of a ratio.
An actual video with no ‘black bars’ with the specific ratio you want.

The Widescreen matte filter will do this – in fact, you create a sequence, put your ‘working’ sequence in it, then apply the widescreen matte filter to the entire ‘nested’ sequence. Last you OPTION 2x click it to adjust the filter.
