Match a 3:2 DSLR still with 16:9 DSLR footage

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 10:34:59 GMT

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.

I have a still taken with a canon 60d. I also have movie footage, taken from exactly the same position. I want to match up the still pixel-for-pixel with the footage. The difficulty is that the still is 5184x3456 = 3:2 and the movie footage is 1920x1080 = 16:9

What I want to do, is take the still into Photoshop and crop/resize it so that it is 1920x1080, and it has a pixel-for-pixel match with the movie footage.

Looking at a screengrab from the footage, and comparing it to the still, it's clear that the still is cropped, but I haven't been able to work out exactly what sequence of actions will match the still to the screengrab.

A further complication is that 60d actually records at 1920x1088, not 1920x1080, although After Effects seems to ignore this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Lossless editing of Canon 60d footage

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:58:35 GMT

I'd like to bring some 60d footage into Premiere, cut it, and export it. Is there any way I can do that without having Premiere modify it in anyway? I've tried various settings for the output, but haven't managed it yet. The 60D footage is quicktime/H264.

Thanks,

Why doesn't Premiere like this file?

I'm trying to import a file and Premiere is telling me that it's corrupt or is an unsupported format. Below is the mediainfo output.

I've been down this road before, and I usually end up on a fruitless search for programs to convert flash to another format. I'm not clear whether it is indeed Flash is causing the problem. I always thought it was the codec which was the important component, and I thought Premiere could handle AVC. Anyway, if anyone could tell me what the problem is, and the easiest way around it, I would be extremely grateful.

Photoshop file error -43 on "Edit in Photoshop"

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 16:59:40 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple menu using an Encore library menu a starting point. When I click the Edit in Photoshop button, I get the above error. Below are the steps to recreate the error. This youtube video also shows the steps.

Create a new project.
Drag PAL_blank menu WIDE from the library to the project window.
Drag Nifty Fifties button from library to the menu.
Click the Edit in Photoshop button.
Encore pops up an error box containing the error message "Photoshop File Error -43"

Photoshop CS5 and Encore CS5. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
