How do i get my videos exactly like this ratio in final cut pro? The bars are not big like the usual 4:3. I tried exporting it in every setting and im starting to think maybe the capture settings screwed it up. I'm clueless, basically all i want is these 3 videos down below settings. How do i get them?

What i don't want is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJde_iUvGMA
See how the bars are so large. I used 720x480 and like every other setting.

thats my current settings and it still puts out video like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XmMS6fs6g8...nel_video_title

don't mind the 16:9 tick box.
 
VX1000 is not a 16:9 camera so you cannot make 16:9 anamorphic videos like that... Time to upgrade if that's the look you're after.

Yes 16:9 videos can be made- but not with your camera- dig? Your camera is a 4:3 camera. Your camera shoots a square picture and you want a rectangular frame...

He wants it stretched out from what I can understand.

I don't remember if the option is available to do it in Compressor, but he could just comp his sequence into a 16x9 sequence in FCP and then use the aspect ratio controls to stretch the frame out.
 
Then all he has to do is the motion tab to scale the video.

Which will result in a quality hit and a possible loss of some content on the edges.
 
From what everyone kept telling me to do on other forums was to just export it as 720x480 instead of 640x480 and youtube does it on it's own. But everytime i try that it fails to do it. Anyway how do i go about doing it the 16:9 way motion tab the scale?
 
I actually looked at the vids you reference -- they are not 16:9, but neither are they 12:9 (4:3) -- if I was guessing, I'd say they were 14:9. I say that with the knowledge that 14:9 is actually a format that was (is?) widely used in the UK as an inbetween compromise that allows those with 4:3 screens and those with 16:9 screens to be equally unhappy ...

Additionally, the vids you referenced don't appear to be stretched from 12:9 to fill a 14:9 area, though the fish-eye lens used in the material I took a quick look at does make that determination a little harder -- but more likely there was some cropping in post to accomplish the look (or maybe even to intentionally produce the 14:9 ratio for broadcast use. As no camcorder shoots at 14:9, it must be a post effect.

So do the math -- if you have material you shot at 12:9 and you want to output at 14:9 you have to crop something off the top and bottom of your timeline, then export as a 16:9 output with pillar boxing. Easy to do from an FCP timeline; if I was doing it I'd start a new sequence with 16:9 settings, and place the project that I'd already edited in native format on the timeline (as I would anytime I wanted to add a filter or effect to the whole timeline, not by shot). Use the frame view and drag a corner of the screen until the top and bottom of frame were outside the 16:9 frame and the pillar bars on either side looked right. If I was being anal I'd do the math (which would be mildly confusing, as the PAR of the original material is not 1 but .9 -- I think you have to push the frame dimensions of your source to a vertical of 560, but if it was critical to be exactly 14:9 I'd spend a few minutes checking the numbers ...)

Now you have a timeline with your source 4:3 material modestly zoomed so that the pillar bars on either side of the 16:9 frame were narrower than the standard. Ordinarily you'd have an image 640 pixels wide in a 854 pixel frame if you were pillar boxing a 4:3 image in a 16:9 frame -- so your pillars would be 107 pixels wide on each side. To produce the 14:9 look, you want to reduce the pillars to half that side, say 54 pixels per side.

There may be other ways to do this, even quicker ways, and your pals that suggest you ignore the .9 PAR in favour of a 1.0 PAR would be close to correct if you didn't mind distorting the video (i.e. not cropping, but actually stretching so your circles weren't round et cetera) but I don't see that in the samples you offered.

From what I heard, someone told me to you mpegstreamclip and compress it to 720x480 and then just upload it to YouTube and it does it automatically. but the thing is it would be compressed twice first from mpegstramclip then compressed from YouTube. That's why I'm trying to do it right out of fcp and right into YouTube
 
Why don't you draw in photoshop the frame shape you are getting and the one you really want because frankly no one understands what the problem is but you.

Noah, the funny thing is that I was trying to explain this to him on another forum but he got so impatient (made a whole new topic when the original one didn't get responded to) that I lost the desire to do so. He wants the video to be 3:2 instead of 4:3.
If you export from FCP as DV and run it through MPEG streamclip with the codec set for DV, it will NOT be compressed "again." In fact, the only times it will be compressed are when the signal coming from the CCDs in your camera gets converted to DV and when YT does the conversion to h.264, after it's been uploaded.

Click to expand...

How do i set my codec to mpeg streamclip to dv? There has to be a way for me to export right out of fcp right into youtube and get that ratio... just like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QFTDqnb7V4&feature=feedf
