Hi Patrick,

If you want to find the resolution of your original video or the produced video just right click on the video in the Media room and check properties. The properties dialogue box will show the resolution.

I tried that yesterday on the produced video but the resolution was not in the properties. I'll have a look tonight but can PD8 convert to another resolution? If no, what can I use?

Thanks

So are you saying when you went to properties the video square did not have any information?

Regarding PD changing the resolution of videos you can do it when you produce the video by choosing a different resolution. I have done this a couple of times just experimenting with up scaling my 1280X720 video to 1920X1080 which are both 16:9.

I haven't tried going from 16:9 to 4:3 but I would say if your produced video is squashed you may have chosen to change a 16:9 video to 4:3. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

Yes, I right-clicked the produced video and I could not find the resolution. I did find this strange.

Smugmug informs that they do 16:9 but need the resolutions I mentioned on my 1st post.

Would I be able to use PD8, go back to the original PD8 project and then re-produce to say Mpg2 video and choose the resolution from where-ever that feature is? Where do I select to change resolution from?

When you produce the video, just choose a new resolution and that's what the movie will be when done. Just make sure the project is 16:9 or HD options won't be available in Produce. __________________________________

You can always go back to your original project as long as you haven't moved the original videos. Just open the project to produce and experiment. There are so many options to choose from it is hard to suggest a setting or format.

I usually try to produce in the same format and resolution of the raw video and vary the bit rate if I need a smaller video in megabytes. So maybe that would be a good place to start. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

Thanks.
Will there be a few resolution selections or do i have to manually type something in?

I only produced a video once to mpeg2 so I am uncertain.

Ok, thanks Robert.

There will be different resolutions. Which ones just depends one which format you choose. MPEG 2 has quite a few. AVCHD has a few less, but still several. __________________________________
