Adjusting Aspect Ratio (Cropping)...?

Tried a search, but was unable to find anything...
As a former Vegas Pro user, I'm having a challenge in using this new software to achieve certain results. I need to adjust my original aspect ratio 16:9 (1920x1080) to 4:3 (1440x1080). How is this done in Premiere Pro?
Thank you!

Why?
Because I shot the original video in 1920x1080 but composed the shots in 4:3. Therefore, I want to maintain the "HD" video in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Then I can output to any format--at the highest quality.
Thanks for your help, Harm. I didn't think cropping would be a "Video Effect." The hardest part of all this is changing one's thinking from one app to another.
EDIT: Crop applies it to just the clip. How do I apply it to the entire project?

  • New aspect ratio crop.

    I have a PC using Windows 7.  Today I have upgraded Lightroom 5 from Lightroom 4.  When using the new Aspect Ratio crop the guides appear as expected.  When I go to the top centre area of the crop, instead of getting the black lines with the arrows (as you do with the corners) all I get are two white arrows. This means I can only drag the entire crop box to a smaller size.  The line will not move down to the aspect guide as you expect.  Can someone inform me as to what the issue is? 

    If i understand your problem correctly, you have to unlock the padlock in the crop tool to get this behavior.

  • Workflow  / Aspect Ratio / Cropping

    Hi all,
    I have about 200 images that I need to crop 5inch x 7inch, then to change the aspect ratio to D1/DV PAL 1.07. But what order do I need to carry out the work? Aspect Ratio or cropping first? Or does it make no difference?
    Thank you

    PAL (Phase Alternating Line)
    This format is used particularly in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and in some areas of Asia. PAL uses altogether 625 scan lines, thereof approx. 575 are visible. The color subcarrier has a frequency of approx. 4.43 MHz in the case of analog PAL (complementary view). Special NTSC or PAL color subcarrier signals will not be transferred via connections like SCART (RGB) and YUV. Such a signal is only transferred via connections like Composite Video, RCA, FBAS and Y/C or S-Video (S-VHS) respectively. The refresh rate is 25 Hz or 25 fps respectively. This corresponds to 50 Hz (interlaced) or 50 fields/s respectively. The digital standard resolution is 720x576 pixel for DVDs, 480x576 pixel for SVCDs and 352x288 pixel for VCDs.
    The digital standard resolution is 720x576 pixel for DVDs to me that is  5:4 sapect ratio where NTSC has a 4:3 aspect ratio.  Why doyou want to do a 7:5  aspect ratio crop.

  • PSE7 Aspect Ratio Crop Tool keeps seizing up on me

    I run Windows Vista 32bit and PSE7+ACR 5.6 and I'm perfectly happy with this set up.  However, recently an annoying thing has been happening part way through editing a series of photographs, in that the aspect ratio crop tool seizes up completely, leaving me with the crop ratio that I last used before the lock up.
    I have learned that the only way to resolve this is to save the picture I'm currently editing and close the Editor.  Once the Editor is re-opened the crop tool works fine again ... for a while.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programme but that doesn't work.
    I would be interested to know if anyone else has had the same problem, and if so how did you cure it? I'm fairly desperate now - I tried the Adobe UK tech support twice today but was left hanging twice for more than ten minutes, so I had to give up as I'm on a fixed income I can't afford to waste money!
    Any ideas anyone?

    I haven't been ignoring your reply Hatstead (thank you for troubling by the way) but I have already tried this on the numerous occasions that the crop tool has locked up on me.  I've also tried 'Reset All Tools' but that has had no effect either.
    I had hoped to see a torrent of replies from numerous knowledgeable PSE users and experts on this forum, since a similar post by me on other photography sites has not produced a definitive technical answer to this problem to date.  I don't want to have to resort to purchasing PSE9 or 10 (plus the accompanying Scott Kelby book) since PSE7 gives me all I require at the skill level I find myself.
    Once again ... has anyone else had a crop tool locking up problem, and how did you resolve it?

  • Aspect ratio cropping for a Folio

    I understand that digital SLR cameras have an aspect ratio 2:3.
    Do ALL Photobooks 8.5x11 require 4:3 ?
    Thanks!

    Missed that - do not have a DSLR so have no idea of the ratio they shoot - but the answer is still the same
    The frames for all iPhoto photo books are 4:3 - you can right click on a photo (control click) and choose fit to frame or you can click on it and a slider appears above the photo frame that lets you adjust the size of the photo and a hand appears that you can select and move the photo within the frame
    You can use a non 4:3 photo but have to either fit to frame of enlarge (exxentially cropping) to fill

  • How to crop without changing aspect ratio/Crop mode

    Is there a way to crop in Lightroom without changing the aspect ratio? That is my first question.
    My second question, is it better to use APS-C crop mode on my full frame Sony A7R if I know at the focal length I'm gonna crop, or just take it full frame and crop in the software? Are there disadvantages to this when it comes to uses flash's etch?
    Third, Currently I do not have a portrait lens as the Sony A7R is new and does not have many lenses out yet. Until the 90mm lens comes out I was thinking I could use the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 in Crop mode for a portrait lens. That would make it around 88mm would it compress the background nicely the way an 85mm lens normally does for portraits?

    This is what I usually do, now I know for sure my aspect ratio has been locked. As far as shooting in crop mode though, what I meant about that is this; For portraits, if you take a 55mm and shoot a portrait with it, the background doesn't look that compressed, which I like. Even if it's at a good F stop. It'll be out of focus, but not "compressed" And seems to show more flaws in the person. This is why with my Canon I always used my 85mm or my 100mm. I know some who will only use a 200mm due to this type of compression that happens at longer focal lengths.
    If I was to shoot in crop mode, making it 88mm, would it give me that affect? The compressed look I get from a 85mm? Or would it simply just crop it like I do in post and not really make a difference.
    Sony has yet to come out with a portrait lens and I need one bad, I've been offered little jobs here and there and can't take them because I don't want to disappoint them. I'm waiting for their 90mm, because that is close the 100mm and 85mm I shot with on the 5D for portraits.
    Not to same the subject here but,  'Benjamin Root Photography,' has been a great help to me on this forum. I also torn between getting the 16-35mm F/4, or the new 24mm F1.4 prime, for wide landscape shots, because landscape and hiking is where I do most of my photography.
    I don't plan on actually shooting a landscape at 1.4, but if it's 1.4 that means if I stop it down to F 8 on a landscape it'll be tact sharp. But it is not a Zeiss and is only going to cost 500. On the other hand, there is the 16-35mm, still I'd shoot around F 8 or even higher for landscape, the problem is, if it's F/4 won't that mean it'll have to stop down much further than the 24mm to get a sharper picture?
    I don't guess I can go telephoto, like anything over 100mm because I have the A7R. People say over 100 mm it has shutter vibration, so at 200 or 300 I wouldn't buy until the A7R ii comes out. I'm not willing to get the regular A7 ii because I really like the advantage of having all those megapixels for cropping purposes, and it just plain looks better. Which is why I took my Sony A7 back for the A7R. Everyone was saying the photo's were more impressive than the 5D Mark iii's with the Zeiss 55 1.8 vs 5D with 50 1.4L. That wasn't really the case with the A7, but when I got the A7R I seen a HUGE difference in dynamic range.
    I've heard the A7 is better at focusing than the A7R, but since I switched to the A7R I have noticed literally no difference. But I don't shoot fast moving subjects.
    With both cameras I notice the face detection and EYE AF is hard to get to work properly. If I let it auto focus fully It'll focus on the wrong thing a lot of times even though the green boxes say the right thing.
    So, I have been putting it on a single point, keeping it at the center, focusing on the eye, and then recomposing. That's mostly how I did with the 5D anyway. I never allowed it to choose focus points for me either.

  • Can I import with aspect ratio crop in Aperture?

    When importing images can I auto crop them to a specific aspect ratio?

    I find myself answering my own questions, well there is no way to save an aspect ratio as a preset, bummer. But I did find this article:
    http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/04/19/a-way-to-create-crop-presets-in-apertur e-3/
    Have suggested to Apple, but really, it should be there anyway as some Adjustments can be saved already!

  • How can I edit DVCPROHD in FCPX? Need to Adjust Aspect Ratio

    I have 5TB of footage for a sitcom I'm about to start editing. It's all been ingested and organized in FCPX event browser. However, it appears the FCPX won't allow the change of aspect ratio for the 1280x1080 footage. The DVCPROHD footage appears squished. I need to make MultiCams out of all the scenes shot film style and need to be able to view it at a correct aspect ratio not only in the timeline, but in the Event browser playback as well - so I can make informed decisions on which takes to use in the edit. I've seen recommendations for people creating "custom resolution" timesline by ingesting a pre-made video clip that's been customized in motion, but that wont' fix my problem. There has to be a way to natively edit DVCPROHD footage. Can some please help with suggestions??

    Not by using the IMAQ WindTools directly. One idea is to draw a rectangled ROI first (using ), then modify it programmatically using the IMAQ ROI functions ...

  • Overcoming aspect ratio cropping

    I am making a slideshow in iMovieHD and taking the photos from iPhoto. Not surprisingly, I am losing the left and right edges of my photos due to mismatch between aspect ratio of the camera and the iMovie aspect ratio.
    I get that.
    Is there a way to compensate within iPhoto? Effectively I need to add black or white space on the top and bottom. I could do this in an external editor but that's a lot of work.

    Well, I ended up moving the picture to an external editor and pasted it into an all black image adding black space to top and bottom. Easy solution, but it took me 2 or 3 minutes. I only had about 3 pictures to do this to, so not a big deal.
    Having said that, it is astonishing to me that this is not an option in iPhoto. This is a basic option found in online photo printing so you don't have to cut of the edges.
    I still think I must be missing something. Perhaps I am not being clear - how do you guarantee the edges of the picture will not be cut off?

  • Aspect ratio changes?

    I have edited a short film shot entirely in 16:9 on a 4:3 timeline (unaware I was doing so). So when I export my "widescreen" film, it is a 4:3 video with black bars on the top and bottom. So what I thought was if I create a new project, use "DV-NTSC Anamorphic" with the Easy Setup option, and create a new sequence, my entire film will no longer have black bars at the top and bottom. It will just be a 16:9 video. Well, I was wrong. In the new setup, every single clip is "squished", and it looks like if I wanted to fix it, I'd have to go through every single clip, re-import it, and have an adjusted aspect ratio... and I don't want to do that. Is there an easier way?

    How is the Aspect Ratio changing?
    Was the shooting Mode changed on the camera, between scenes, say from Standard to Widescreen? That would be a change in PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but would show up the difference in the Project.
    Also, are you in PAL-land, or NTSC-land?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    Hi Hunt, no the shooting mode was the same - wide screen, dv cam pal

  • Composite AV output aspect ratio problem

    I'm using an Apple Composite AV dock connector to connect my iPad 2 to an older TV.  It has always worked well, displaying videos and images in the proper aspect ratio.  Just today the images and videos have become too tall and normally widescreen output now fills the 4:3 screen. This is true of all our TVs. Is there a way to set the output aspect ratio on the iPad2?  Is this an iOS5 problem?  The TVs don't have adjustable aspect ratios.

    I just tried my wife's iPad with iOS4 and it works fine.  I suspect this is an iOS5 problem, or else something is wrong with my iPad2.

  • Home movies at wrong aspect ratio???

    Hello,
    I have a lot of home movies that were recorded onto a Verbatim Hard Drive Recorder in a .mpg format.
    These movies are in the proper widescreen aspect ratio when played back on my TV, however, when I transfered them to my Mac the .mpg video files became fullscreen.
    I had to use MPEG Streamclip and the MPEG-2 Playback Component to create true widescreen .dv files for iMovie.
    However, I was forced to to do an erase and reinstall of Leopard last week and I lost the MPEG-2 Component.
    I was upgrading to Lion though, and I had heard that the Component was no longer necessary as Lion had the capability to playback MPEG-2 files.
    I had assumed that Streamclip would also use this built-in MPEG-2 Component.
    I have upraded to Lion just today, but Streamclip cannot open any of the .mpg files claiming it needs the Component.
    Is there another Streamclip equivelant that can correct the aspect ratio with requiring me to buy another Playback Component?
    Or better yet is there any existing application on Lion that can correct the video shape?
    Cheers.

    Can Quicktime Pro adjust aspect ratios?

  • Can I recover aspect ratio distortion (widescreen picture narrowed)?

    I've been given a home-made DVD, shot at 16:9 but processed to 4:3. Unknown Windows program - sorry! Everyone is very tall & thin - even car wheels. I want to use iMovie to fix aspect ratio, crop some rubbish & add titles & soundtrack.
    Is there any way to stretch the picture to the correct aspect ratio? Wide or standard, I'm not bothered. I extracted the DVD using Open Shiiva, saved as mpeg4, imported into iMovie, but can't find any way to stretch the picture.
    I'm OK with iMovie HD, learning '08, used QT Pro a bit. What's the best way forward with this?

    I think that's the first time I've been called amazing... apart from by my girlfriend... occasionally... very occasionally...

  • How to crop a whole selecton of pictures with the same aspect ratio?

    I want to crop a whole selecton of pictures with the same aspect ratio.
    I shoot my pictures in 4:3 and I want to use Lightroom to crop them all for example to 16:9.
    So I have only to adjust the size and it's done!
    I use Lightroom 4.4

    Thanks. It works! Prima!
