Imaginate help

[mattmatt]

when I export a 16x9 video from imaginite, somethings not right.

Its two squished when I import it to edius because its set to 4:3, but when I change it to 16:9, its then too stretched!!!????

Help!!??? I noticed the 16:9 apsect ratio isn;t 1.42 either (in imaginate) shouldn't it be???

Any help would be most appreciated.

are you using IM2 in SD or HD?

I mostly work SD, I set IM2 to 16:9 and then after animating save the ivt and open it direct in Edius timeline

if you export to video from within IM2, all export codec options are broken other than DV

example using lossless, HQ or uncompressed will create strange results with black bar at bottom of animation

DV export is fine but the resulting video quality is poor compared to opening the ivt direct

IM2, Sd - thanks anton.

its saying in the project settings that the 16:9 aspect ratio is like 1.77 somthing???

OMG!!! Thanks anton, I didn't read the rest of your post. All is good, just import the project file straight to edius!!!! MAD!

Hey, just when I thought all was fine, now I import another IVT and its about 2 seconds long and plays the 2min clip at like 2000 % speed .... ever encountered that one???

[mattmatt]

Solution to the above weird problem. Add an audio track to you imagniate timeline - Thanks again for your help :)

p.s. I'm getting an Edius Tshirt for Christmas :)

no need to add an audio file

you can lengthen any IVT on timeline by stretching the edge like a still or entering a numeric value after pressing Alt+U

Does Imaginate support HD??????

I am confused a little regarding Imaginate...........Does it support HD output???

I have been told its SD only and will be canned from the GV line up in the near future or already has been.........

HD... yes!

Kinda boggy but it works. Most of my slideshows go straight to DVD, so I'm SD on these.
