if so how can i do that??

Probably not with Flash Player. If this is a question regarding Flash, you better post in the Flash forum.

Scaling | Zoom (i.e. "maintain aspect ratio, scale to fill and crop to remove outside boundary"

Hi,
I have a mismatch on the aspect ratio of my source and visual display region. (And please just assume that I can not conform the visual display region to match the source's aspect ratio.)
Flash's default gives me ""scale to fit" which maintains my source's aspect ratio but results in "letterboxing" black space.
Does OSMF (or Flash) have a configurable property that will maintain aspect ratio, scale to fill and crop to remove outside boundary? Or do I just have to code my own solution (e.g. using masking)?
I have a diagram here:

Have you tried with ScaleMode in OSMF?
     var layout:LayoutMetadata = new LayoutMetadata();
        video.addMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE, layout);
   layout.scaleMode = ScaleMode.ZOOM;

Change aspect ratio in Shockwave Flash

I am trying to watch a streaming TV channel in Shockwave Flash. The person initiating the streaming is using an incorrect aspect ratio that distorts the image. He is putting a 3:2 image in the HD 16:9 screen, which means that the image is 18.5% too wide. People appear too fat, for example. I have tried to get him to correct the problem, but it appears he is unwilling to do it or unable to see the problem or doesn't know how to fix it. His site has the code that I can use to embed the image in a web page of my own, with the "object" and "embed" html tags, and I thought that perhaps I could resize the dimensions to be correct at my end. I've looked at the attributes for the Shockwave Flash and it appears that there should be one called "scale" and it appeared to me that if I chose "exactfit", I could lose his incorrect aspect ratio. However, I have been unsuccessful in making this work. If I make the horizontal:vertical dimension 3:2 as is really the case with his image, black bands appear at the top and bottom and I still get his distorted image stretched too wide horizontally.
So -- question: Is it possible for me to lose his incorrect aspect ratio by doing something at my recieving end? -- or, am I stuck with the distorted image he is sending? Or, could I use some other Flash product, like the Flash Media Encoder, to do it?

Shockwave Flash is Flash Player, not Shockwave Player.

Resize flash movie while maintaining aspect ratio?

Hey all,
We have created an extremely content heavy .swf file (1900 x
1400) for a presentation that runs full screen on a monitor at a
screen resolution of 1900 x 1400. I think that was the
resolution... I've been away from the project for a while and I
can't remember. anyways....
now we need to shrink the .swf down to a more reasonable size
so that we can make a cd rom out of it. Probably needs to be shrunk
to about 800 x 600. Is there an easy way to shrink the .swf in
flash from 1900 x 1400 to 800 x 600 while maintaining aspect ratio
and keeping all items on stage?
I sure hope so! I'd hate to have to recreate the entire
thing! It was a HUUUGE project with a ton of content.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!!

Hey all.... I am just now working on this project.
I've created my .fla file and I'm trying to load a .swf into
an empty movie clip. It didn't scale down like I want it to and it
was still appearing as the normal size file. So I added the
container._height = 500; and container._width = 800; When I added
the width and height the .swf inside the empty mc container
disappeared!!!!! Any idea why???
Here is my code:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadMovie("hlhuntyears.swf", container);
container._width = 800;
container._height = 500;
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0;
I export it as an .exe since its going to be a cd rom and
when I double click the .exe to run it I get a blank screen. But
when I take out height and width it shows up but not to the correct
scale. The original file (hlhuntyears.swf) is 1440 x 900 and when I
run the .exe I can only see a tiny piece of it. Can anybody help??
please??

Aspect Ratio with Adobe Flash Acces

Hello,
We are experiencing some problems trying to play Adobe Flash Access protected content.
We have 1 video without protection (plain mp4), and another copy of exactly the same video, but with AFA protection.
The aspect ratio of the video is 21/9. If we play the 'plain mp4', the player adds letterbox, which is perfect. But if we try to play the AFA protected one, it doesn't add the letterbox and the image is distorted. Do you know how to fix this?
The player we're using is OSMF
Regards

Hi Jordii84,
This sounds like something I've seen elsewhere, but I hadn't made the connection with Flash Access protection. I will have to take a look to see whether or not that could be the issue.
Let me know if you find a solution?
Thanks,
G

Exporting flash movie in 4:3 aspect ratio

I need to export my flash movie so the aspect ratio is 4:3.
However, the few compression settings I have chosen have resulted
in really poor quality video. The setting that looks perfect is
DVCPRO HD 720p60, however the dimensions of this is 1280 x 720, and
since i need to post this on the web, the dimensions need to be 720
x 480. I've tried compressing the video in Compressor, but once
again, the quality is crap.
What is the best 4:3 compression setting to use in order to
get optimal video quality?
I have Flash 9 and Mac OS 10.5.4

That is how the studio supplied them. This is not an Apple TV issue.

Aspect Ratio / Anamorphotic Movies

Hi
We have a number of movies that come from DigiBeta or DVD.
They have non square pixel aspect rations. We've encoded them into
MP4 Files. Players like QuickTime or VLC correctly recognize the
aspect ratio and distort the display accoringly. But in our flash
application the movie is always displayed with square pixels. How
can we make Flash recognize this? No we do not want to reencode all
the movies with square pixels!
t.

but then our customers would need flashplayer10, right? for
compatibility reasons we want to support flash9. is there a
possebility to find out about pixel aspect ratio (PAR) in flash9?

Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
Any one have any solution in this matter?
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

Hello handler
If you talking about this kind of thing...
https://forums.adobe.com/message/5773207
search for..... _movie.stage.drawRect = _system.deskTopRectList[1] & _movie.stage.rect = _system.deskTopRectList[1]
You don't need an xtra to change the resolutions - but you do have to work a few things - I tend to use flash text because it scales better.

Aspect ratio issue

Hi, I have had this issue for several months and cannot get an answer...It started out when I downloaded Flash player 11.2. All the videos that we have posted on our client's websites are "squished" horizontally. Adobe said that it was a known issue when viewing Dreamweaver generated flash player code (from DW CS3) in IE8, and Chrome. Firefox is ok. Adobe asked us to remove the "no script" portion of the code, as it was outdated and to try Flash player 11.3....which we did. It still does not work. We downloaded DW CS6 and tried to use the code generated from this latest version of DW....and we are still experiencing the same issue. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHAT TO DO? Thank you, Steve K.

Aspect ratio problems are usually caused when the output file size doesn't match proportions of the native file (i.e. a letterbox video saved as 320X240).
Honestly, I stopped using Flash media when Steve Jobs announced Apple iOS devices would not support it. If you're struggling with this, now might be an opportune time to convert your FLVs to MP4s and use an HTML5 video player that IS supported by PCs, Macs, iOS and Androids.

Resizing Photos Aspect Ratio Problem Using Contraints

I am a photographer trying build a portfolio website. I want my pictures to be as large as possible for the screen on which they are viewed. I am using Flash Catalyst CS 5.5 with Mac OS X Lion. The problem I am facing when using the new constraint feature is that the aspect ratio of the pictures changes based on the size of browser. How can I have the photos maintain a consistent aspect ratio while still growing/shrinking with the size of the screen/browser?

In DV, both 4:3 and 16:9 material are the same number of pixels - 720x480. The difference is in the shape of the pixels. In FCP, unless the material is marked as anamorphic, it will assume the 4:3 aspect ratio.
If the original material was 16:9, when you import it into FCP, make sure
1) the sequence is set for 16:9 anamorphic and
2) you put a checkmark in the ANAMORPHIC column for the clip in the browser.

Preserving aspect ratio 16:9

I've placed several Flash videos on a Web site, all 4:3 standard definition. All look fine.
I have one video that's 16:9 widescreen high-definition. When I try to place it on the same site (using the same HTML snippet code as the others), much of the video is missing on the sides -- it's cropped off when I try to play it. I've changed some numbers around but nothing fixes it.
Any help?

How do I change that to a 4:30 timeline?
First of all, dont. Finish your project in its native 16:9 format and export with current settings, self contained. Now make a new project with the Easy Set Up at whatever 16:9 codec (Pro Res, Intermediate, etc, you exported as).
Go to Sequence > Settings and choose a 4:3 aspect ratio Timeline setting. The DV codec should be fine.
Drop the entire self contained movie into the Timeline. It will letterbox automatically. You can export that to make your deliverable.

Mixed aspect ratio project -- best setting in iMovie

I am creating a new family project in iMovie (8.0.6) -- a "through the years" compilation of video clips. The older clips were shot in 4:3 on miniDV tape; the more recent material was shot in 16:9 HD flash memory.
What aspect ratio should I choose when creating my new project for the best results? I will probably output to DVD and view on HDTV. Thanks for any advice, Jeff.

I would use 16:9 for your project.
Then, for your 4:3 clips, open the inspector to the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tab and select "Fit".
This will give you letterboxing on the 4:3.

Exporting for Web - maintaining aspect ratio

I've been trying to export a 6 minute video as a Quicktime movie file which will be imported into Adobe Flash for use on the web. I've tried 3 or 4 codecs and all of them end up creating a 4:3 image where my source is 16:9. What codec would be best to use and maintain the original aspect ratio and still keep the video file a reasonable size to import into Flash.
Thanks for the help
Carl

Ok, I misspoke when I used the term "codec". I did mean I had tried a variety of settings, none of which preserved my original 16:9 aspect ratio (and this, despite setting "preserve aspect ratio" in the mpeg-4 settings). So, I have experimented with a variety of settings to no avail. I'm sure there is something there - I was hoping someone had the same experience and could clue me in on what settings to use.
thank you,
Carl

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.

Aspect Ratio Issues in CS4 -- no real 16:9 / 4:3? Need Help.

Hi,
i´m a little bit confused.
When we work in PAL Land -> 1024x576 is 16:9 Pixel Ratio 1:1 and 768x576 is 4:3 Pixel Ratio 1:1. In CS3 we have 720x576 with 16:9 Pixel Ratio 1:1,422 so 1,422x720=1024 so correct 16:9 and with 4:3 Pixel Ratio 1:1,067 so 1,067x720=768 so correct 4:3.
Now there is CS4:
Pixelratio changed for 16:9 it is 1,4587 and for 4:3 it is 1,0940. OK Maybe now we go with 702x576. BUT: The Resolution for DVD PAL Export is still fixed 720x576. NO 702x576 is possible!. So what the Hell is going on here? If i Export any Video in 16:9 PAL DVD i get 720x576 with 1,4587 so the result is a Video which is to wide with black borders (left&right side).
Any Ideas appreciate .
-nick

a) PAL in digital format, for example on Digital Beta, is aspect ratio 4:3, and 720x576. The sync lines from in the captured Digibeta have to be cropped.
b) PAL digital format aspect ratio 16.9 (widesrceen), for example when capturing from DigiBeta cassette, is also 720x576 but anamorph.
c) PAL 4:3 transcoded to square pixel format for computer use, for example as VP6 flash, or H.264 format is 768x576, aspect ration 4:3.
e) 720x576 Pixel-AR 12:11 normal, 16:11 anamorph, transcoded to square pixel, e.g. VP6 flash, H.264 etc. is 1024x576 real (not anamorph)
d) 704x576 Pixel-AR 12:11 normal, 16:11 anamorph is the analogue TV-Signal without overscan. If you receive a video like that you have to re-render it to 720x576 anamorph, or using a workstation which can interprete this footage. As far as I know, Premiere has no problem interpreting this footage, however, for example EncoreDVD will refuse to interprete it, but also other authoring application accept 704 video and the DVD plays the corrcet aspect ratio, but when demultiplexed it is still 704.
