Compressor 4 :: Cropping 1920x1080 Video With 4:3 Aspect Ratio

Dec 6, 2014

I have a 1920x1080 video that I want to crop to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

I'm working with compressor 3.  

When I set "crop original" to "4x3 1,33:1", I cannot manipulate the cropping. It is fixed to left=240, right=240, top=0 and bottom=0.

This results in 1440x1080 4x3, that's correct. But what I'd like to do is crop the top and bottom, too, while keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

How do i do that? 

When I set "crop original" to "custom" (I hope I translated that correctly), cropping left, top, right and bottom is possible. I manipulate the red rectangle in the preview window  and the cropping changes accordingly. Now how do I tell compressor to keep the 4:3 aspect ratio while manipulating/zooming with the red rectangle? I don't want to calculate the cropping, this is way too cumbersome.

MacBook Pro :: Change Video Quality And Aspect Ratio?

May 24, 2012

How do I make the movies I download from the net Full HD or Blu-Ray. The movies that I download are usually something like 1280x550. But when I use a video converter to make it 1280x800 (the highest resolution on my 13' macbook pro) it just stretches the movie so the quality becomes worse. how to make these movies full HD or Blu-Ray and change the aspect ratio so the movie takes up th whole screen.

Final Cut Pro X :: Exporting Video With Right Aspect Ratio For IPhone

Jun 2, 2014

I often shoot short videos with my iPhone.  I bring them into FCPX and edit it.   

The problem is when I export it, it will have black bars on the side once its back on my iPhone.  It will never just export to fit the screen like it did when I shot the video.  I tried to customize the aspect ratio but it only gives me set options.

Final Cut Pro X :: Import NTSC Video Into Appropriate Project Settings And Keep Same Aspect Ratio

Sep 9, 2014

I edit on FCPX v10.0.9... (OSX 10.8.5) ...a client sent video at NTSC 720x480 DV... How do I FIRST import that video into an appropriate project setting without distorting the ratio (it keeps getting converted to 4:3 - narrower - and the original video is not 4:3)? and SECOND export and keep the same aspect ratio? I've done much research and realize that NTSC 720x480 DV is SD and FCPX wants square pixels etc.,My goal is to import the video, edit it, and export it all the while keeping the original aspect ration.

OS X :: Widescreen Better Than Old 4:3 Aspect Ratio?

Oct 28, 2009

So why is Widescreen better than the "old" 4:3 aspect ratio? I haven't seen a website/document where content is arranged 16:9, is this seriously JUST for movies? I just started using my old Thinkpad t60 again, and its 15" whcih feels allot bigger than my 15.4" MacBook Pro. who exactly needs widescreen andy why are they still measure monitors in inch wouldn't it make more sense to do a Pixel/cm^2 ?? plain cm^2 would be better as well

Software :: Preserve Aspect Ratio On LCD?

May 11, 2009

I have a 2nd gen MBP hooked up to a wide screen LCD (1680x1050) panel and I occasionally play games that don't naively support the wide aspect ratio and they get all stretched out when scaled to fit the screen. Is there any way to tell OS X to center the "odd" resolutions in the panel (leaving black bars) when a game wants to use that resolution? I'd much rather have a smaller picture than have it distorted.

OS X :: Changing Aspect Ratio In QuickTime Player X?

Aug 29, 2009

You used to be able to select "movie properties" in the previous QuickTime 7 but that option is not available in QuickTime X in Snow Leopard

Say, you have an HD movie which is on your hard drive, but in 4:3 format. You want to change it to 16:9 which is the widescreen format, to view the movie at its proper aspect ratio. You can do this in VLC, but my question is, How do you change the aspect Ratio in Quicktime Player X?

Applications :: Aspect Ratio Changed When Image Imported

May 28, 2010

I am making an animation using photoshop and istopmotion. I save each drawing in photoshop as a frame. When I import the image into istopmotion it changes the aspect ratio of my picture and crops some of the top and the bottom. I have tried to change the aspect ratio of my image to 4:3, 16:9, and lots of other ratios. When I look at the document setting in istopmotion it says the aspect ratio should be HDV1060 4:3.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Home Movies At Wrong Aspect Ratio?

Apr 28, 2012

I have a lot of home movies that were recorded onto a Verbatim Hard Drive Recorder in a .mpg format. These movies are in the proper widescreen aspect ratio when played back on my TV, however, when I transfered them to my Mac the .mpg video files became fullscreen. I had to use MPEG Streamclip and the MPEG-2 Playback Component to create true widescreen .dv files for iMovie. However, I was forced to to do an erase and reinstall of Leopard last week and I lost the MPEG-2 Component. 

I was upgrading to Lion though, and I had heard that the Component was no longer necessary as Lion had the capability to playback MPEG-2 files. I had assumed that Streamclip would also use this built-in MPEG-2 Component. I have upraded to Lion just today, but Streamclip cannot open any of the .mpg files claiming it needs the Component. Is there another Streamclip equivelant that can correct the aspect ratio with requiring me to buy another Playback Component? Or better yet is there any existing application on Lion that can correct the video shape?

Compressor 4 :: Compress Video File For Burning Blu-ray Disc?

Jun 1, 2014

I just got an OWC Mercury Pro external Bluray burner that came bundled with Roxio Toast 11 Titanium.  I'm editing with FCP6 as part of FCS2 and my version of Compressor is 3.0.5 so no "Share to Bluray" template is part of the default options. 

The default Compressor options are:

DVCProHD 720p24     (the footage was shot and edited using this codec)
HD DVD H.264 60 minutes
HD uncompressed 8-bit or 10-bit 

I've also considered exporting a Quicktime .MOV file and letting Toast do the compressing.

OS X :: Cropping To A Specific Size?

Jul 24, 2009

How do I crop (not resize) a picture to a specific (pixel by pixel) size? You know how on some forums, avatars are recommended to be "128 x 128" pixels? How can I do that? (In Preview, crop is a "guessing"-drag-y crop).

I did this with MSPaint in Windows *sigh*. Mac really needs a simple Paint-ish application. (Yes I know people have complained about this).

PS: If someone mentions Photoshop, I'm going to tear my hair out.

MacBook Pro :: New VGA Cable Won't Do 1920x1080?

Sep 17, 2010

I have two VGA cables. My first is simply a cheap one which I have been using for the past few months on my full HD (1080p) TV. I use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter on my 17" Macbook Pro and have been able to get full HD output to my TV.

However, this cable was poorly shielded and I got some wavy lines from other TV inputs.

I've just got a new VGA cable, and this has far greater shielding (so that problem is fixed), however I cannot get it to go above a resolution of 1400x1050 - going to 1920x1080 @60Hz as I did with the other cable gives me a message from my TV - "Unsupported signal. Adjust your PC output."

When I try and use the 'Detect Displays' button in System Preferences, I don't see anything happen as a result...

Edit: After a bit of research, my new cable is actually an SVGA cable. It has the same pins, layout etc and as far as I'm aware it should work. Why doesn't it!?

Edit2: Tried another VGA cable, and that works. So my findings are that 'Super-VGA' cable doesn't work, at least by default. Any way I can fix this?

MacBook :: Won't Go 1920x1080 On External Monitor

Dec 7, 2010

I recently bought a Macbook, and I've been trying to connect it to my external Samsung SyncMaster P2270 screen using a DVI-to-miniDVI adapter from Apple. It works, both as extended or mirrored screen, but the maximum resolution I get is 1600x1200 (and I actually use 1600x900, cause it looks distorted otherwise).

Any clues on how to get it to output 1920x1080? I'm sure that the screen supports that resolution, because I've used it before with another laptop.

IMac :: 16:9 Ratio Has Less Screen Space?

Oct 27, 2009

I was playing around with the iMac's at my Apple store a couple of days ago and found that, even on the 27", the 16:9 ratio really irritates me because it feels like I have *less* screen space. Of course that's not true, but because there's now more space on the sides and less from top to bottom, it feels more "squashed" to me - 16:10 was the perfect ratio to me, because it's the perfect balance of space across the whole screen. Am I alone here? Or has anybody bought a new iMac, not liked the ratio at first but gotten used to it? I'm curious...

QuickTime :: Different Display Aspect Ratios Between Mac And PC

Jun 5, 2012

I am working with some NTSC DV .mov files (720x480). When I view them in OS X Lion (Quicktime 10.1), the Quicktime Movie Inspector shows the video correctly at 4:3 Aspect Ratio with the correct dimensions of 640x480 (using square pixels). However, when I open the same video in Windows 7 using Quicktime 7.7.2, It shows the video as 720x480 (I guess it is interpreting the pixels as square instead of 0.9091). Also, on the pc, there are black bars on the left and right margins. These don't appear on the mac. Why these are being interpreted differently by Quicktime on OS X and Windows?

PowerPC :: 1920x1080 External Display With 15"?

Aug 4, 2009

Can anyone tell me definitively if a 1920x1080 DVI display will work with an Aluminum PowerBook 15" 1.5GHz? When I look at the Apple specs page, it says that it can handle external monitors up to 2048 x 1536 on the external display, but that does not specifically state that it supports this resolution. This one is special because it is 16:9, which is not particularly standard for monitors. The card in this model is an ATI Radeon 970. However, their website is completely unhelpful. The paheon the 970 makes no mention whatsoever of Macs, but does go out of its way to note that 1920x1080 is only supported on some OSes. So has anyone successfully run a 1920 x 1080 monitor on a PowerBook? I'm looking at the ASUS VH242H display.

Hardware :: 1920x1080 Resolution Using USB Display Adapter?

Dec 25, 2009

I currently own a 27" Core i7 iMac and already have a 24" BENQ (M2400HD) connected to it via DisplayPort to DVI. I was wondering if using a USB to DVI to display adapter would work with the 1920x1080 resolution.

What I want to do is buy a USB to DVI to display adapter like the one here: [URL] and purchase the 21.5" M2200HD BENQ monitor to add as the third monitor. I want to be able to utilise the 21'5" native resolution of 1920x1080 with the USB display adapter.

On the OWC website, it states that the USB display adapter could support resolutions of up to 2048x1152. Do you think that it would be able to support 1920x1080? Most other USB display adapters seem to only support up to 1600x1200 or around there.

I'm on 10.6.1 and if i try to rearrange spaces the visualization of it doesn't work properly. I can move the particular space but it's only a transparent overlay ontop of the existing other Spaces and doesn't actually move the underlaying one. It still works, just the visual aspect is messed up and it looks like a bug.

I can choose 1920x1080 in the monitor-preferences, but having done that the resolution remains at 1680x1050 @60Hz (I can see it and even the monitor's info-menu says, that i still use 1680x1050 @60Hz).
