iPhone Version from 9:16 Original

[Fried]

Hi Everyone

Once again I managed to defy all odds and cranked out another big hit slide show at the Snipe Nationals. Hooray! I cropped all images using 9:16, sized to 1920x1080 Medium Quality JPEGS, created an EXE, and presented it on my new Optoma projector. All was great.

After I got home, I created an MP4 version at 1080x720, and it plays well on PC and Mac.

You can download either version from my Snipe page under 2009 Nationals.

QUESTION

How do I now make an iPhone version given that I made the original at 9:16? It seems to only make 3:4.

Hi Fried,

I loved your sequence. I'm no expert in conversions, but I have managed to convert a number of my sequences to show on the iPhone. My method is:

In v5.6 use your original sequence at 1920x1080;

Create>Video for iPhone;

In dialogue box click on Pan&Scan and ensure that you chose Pan&Scan disabled;

You might also want to 'Show more options and increase quality to 100%;

Create;

In iTunes add the converted file to your library;

Conect your iPhone and in the Video tab of 'My device' select your video and then 'Apply';

Video should now appear on the iPhone under iPod in the correct format.

This method has worked for me on 4:3 and 16:9 ratio sequences and shows them correctly on the 3:2 apect ratio iPhone screen.

Regards Howard
