Be careful. Changing reformat works, but isn't sticking when you transcode.

[Avid-L2] Re: Maintain original aspect ratio?

 

With AMA you can enable the column heading reformat and change it to letter/pillarbox instead of stretch.
Also check the image aspect is set correct for 4:3 or 16:9
Should work for import as well.

Re: [Avid-L2] Maintain original aspect ratio?

 

The project's 16:9 30i.

Will do all these things Monday morning. Ideally, I'd like the clips to
import and preserve their original AR, as opposed to applying an effect
later on. Will try it out. Thanks!

Re: [Avid-L2] Maintain original aspect ratio?

Are you editing in 16:9 SD or HD?

Make the Image Aspect Ratio and Reformat Columns in your bin visible.
Adjust accordingly.

Note..these settings will be non-functional if you import an SD 4:3 image
into an HD project. The stretch will be "baked in", as all HD material is
assumed to be 16:9.

If working in HD, it's best to import/capture SD images into an SD 4:3
project first (or temporarily change your project settings). Then these
columns in the bin will be active and you can reformat without adding an
effect.

If you are editing all SD, then the columns should be active and you should
be able to re-format.







Adjust accordingly.

Re: [Avid-L2] Maintain original aspect ratio?

 

Aspect ratio is defined by the project settings.
Do not forget, in SD, both 4:3 and 16:9 have exact the same pixels
There is a flag that defines how it is shown.
So, your only worry is to get the image in you raster (720 x 576 PAL or 720
x 486 NTSC).
Then tell Avid if the project is 16:9 or 4:3
Clips that do not match do need a scaling effect. (pan / scan)

Thus, if you have a 4:3 image in a 16:9 project, and you don't want the
image distorted,
you need to cut out 'some' part of the image, and it'll be blown up. Quality
loss, yes, but there is no other option.
Shots like clouds / trees / wide nature shots you might get away without
scaling, just look at the image.

Re: [Avid-L2] Maintain original aspect ratio?

I've already tried that. What ends up happening is that it keeps the image
close to the original size yet it still adjusts it's aspect ratio :(

[Avid-L2] Maintain original aspect ratio?

 

Running MC 5.5.3.6 on OSX 10.6.7

I'm importing videos with various aspect ratios into a 16:9 project and was
wondering if there's a way to maintain their original aspect ratio upon
import, as opposed to applying an effect later on, otherwise all the 4:3
videos get stretched out to 16:9. I can change the project to 4:3 but then
the same'll happen to the 16:9 videos.

Didn't there used to be a maintain aspect ratio option in the import
settings? It doesn't seem to be in this version of MC.

TIA

Mike

[Avid-L2] 5.1 audio in Avid DVD?

 

Avid DVD by Sonic v 6.4.4 Does this do 5.1 audio on BluRay? In the documentation it says it does, but I don't see the 5.1 audio option in the Audio project setting window.

[Avid-L2] Re: Hope for Avid - Interplay Connect and Sphere

 

I never use the word SPHERE- it makes a simple concept appear more difficult than it is.

I just say I am remote editing with Media Composer or Newscutter. This is done using a plugin called SPHERE. This plugin allows the editing system to open an 'Interplay Window' to see and edit with assets back at the central server. The SPHERE plugin also allows me to upload clips or sequences to the plant.

Simple really, once you get beyond the meaningless marketing term SPHERE.

[Avid-L2] Re: Who needs 4K?

 

Most of us on this list would agree that having the highest possible resolution at acquisition gives us greater flexibility and quality in the post process to create our work. My original point was not that we should turn our noses up at 4k. It was to point out that within finite budgets we have to make hard decisions. If I am shooting a factual documentary and have the option of capturing one interview with an expensive camera or three with a less expensive camera, I would choose the latter, as doing the former would not be a fair treatment of the subject matter. Fortunately we have a new breed of affordable high quality cameras that can mostly provide the best of both worlds.
