Can i resize my project in fcpe?

it seems my sequence settings didn't match my source footage. i have a squeezed picture with black on each side. shouldn't i be able to click on the clip in the sequence and go to modify>scale to sequence? i don't have that command though. is it cause i have final cut express? any other ways i can rescale my already edited sequence? thanks a bunch

You may not have to recapture. Check the item properties for the media in the browser. Is it correct? If it isn't you have to recapture. Copy your edited program into a correct sequence. Check in the motion tab all the properties and see what has been applied to the clips to change it, probably a distort function. If so, use remove attributes to remove the distortion. It depends on the original material and the settings you used whether this will work.

Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7

Once again my Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7 (64-bit). This is same problem that happened to me 6 months ago. I reported it to the online Adobe support, but got no help. Eventually I worked around it on my own. Now the problem is back and I can not open any project, even after rebooting. The behavour that I see is that I can open a new or old project, but the Premier window shows-up as having zero size. The bug has something to do with the Premier program thinking that the window size should be zero. The program shows-up in the active task list, and the Alt-Tab key shows Premier window has only a window title bar (where as other active programs show-up as a thumbnail image of their window contents), and the system taskbar also shows the Premier program as active but only as a window title bar (see attached image below)
When I reported to the online Adobe support forum 6 months ago that I had worked around the problem, the answer was something like "good that you fix it", BUT Adobe did not seem to be interested in understanding and fixing the problem. They just seem relieved when customers can figure-out work-around on their own. I see that another peron just reported this same problem on the Adobe forums, and got the same treatment. He also found a work-around, and the support person replied when "that's nice". This really bites me where it hurts. I'm burning non-productive hours because of their bugs, and they don't care enough about the bugs to get engineering to fix them. It's things like this that make me look for another software vendor.
But today I really do need to work on my video project. If there is a document work-around for the "Premier show a zero-sized window" bug, PLEASE let me know about it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
-- Ole Pa

Hi Steve,
Thanks for looking at this on Saturday, and for your question. What I mean by a "zero sized window" is that Premier's window has been created and the program is running, but when I give Premier focus nothing is shown on the screen. I know the program is running because I can see it on the Windows taskbar, in the Alt-Tab list, and in the task manager's list of running programs. When I use the Windows taskbar to alternately show and hide the window, it behaves normally, except when I show it nothing shows on the screen. Also, when Premier starts up, I do see it loading the project, but when the project loads the window disappears. Premier has this annoying design of starting with its window maximized, and then automatically resizing the window to what it thinks is the size that I want. When the bug is active, the size seems to be zero, or minimized, or off the screen, or who knows what. Just not anything that I can see. The little thumbnail that Windows 7 shows of running programs on the taskbar makes be think the window has been resized so that it is zero pixels wide and zero pixels high.
In my earlier report of this bug, I described it as "minimizing to the taskbar" because that is what it appeared to doing at that time. Here is a link to my earlier report:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/704857
That thread has screen snapshots that show the visual atrifacts of the bug on Windows 7. I experienced the same bug again this morning. The workaround that I had done last year did not work this morning. Here is what I did to recover this time:
Uninstalled Premier Elements 8. Deleted my personal setting, and also "smart sound".
Rebooted my PC.
Installed Premier Element 8 from the CD.
Rebooted my PC
Things were still not quite right. In fact the bug appeared to still be there, but all of a sudden it started showing me the window after the project was loaded. Sigh. I will never launch that little startup program again (the one behind the desktop icon), and only open ".prel" files directly. Not sure if that will help or not, but at least it takes one variable out of the startup procedure.
I wish that I could tell you how to reproduce the bug, but in fact I do not know what I do to provoke it. My PC is
- Dell XPS9000 (Intel i7, 3.33GHz, 12GB ram, 4.5 TB disk)
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Two 24 inch LCD displays
- Runs several Adobe programs (like PS, LR, Acrobat).
Don't get me wrong: I love Adobe software. You are the best in the graphic arts industry. That's why I buy and run your stuff. But when I have a deadline hanging over my head, and I have to spend 1/2 day getting the software to just come up, I get crazy and want to herd feed animals for a living! Maybe I'll have to do that if the economy does not improve in 2011...
Thanks, Ole Pa

How to resize a project in a browser

I updated to Photoshop cc 2014 and now can't resize the images like I used to.

I updated to Photoshop cc 2014 and now can't resize the images like I used to.
I used to click on the image and then go to the corner hold down shift and resize it. Now it won't do it.
How do I do it now?
I have a project deadline and need to do this asap. Panicking that I won't meet my deadline.

Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
It sounds like you were using that previously.
And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

Why do resized smaller projects become so blurry

Hello,
Why, when resizing a project smaller, do both the text and
graphics end up smaller. I'm also scratching my head about why the
text in the text captions doesn't scale down with the rest of the
project. It ends up looking freakishly large in comparison, forcing
a redo on the text size across the board. But more importantly, the
whole project takes on a blur, which doesn't make sense since you
are reducing the image -- logic says quality shouldn't drop on a
down -- and the file actually ends up being larger than the
original, despite its reduced pixel dimensions.
So why the blur?
Thanks

Hi Yogambo
Blurring occurs because of the inherent way Bitmap (or
Raster) images are constructed. Essentially, these are nothing more
than a collection of colored dots. The dots are referred to as
PixEls. (a contraction of Picture Elements)
If you shrink a bitmapped image, the computer has to
recalculate what colors the dots are, because essentially some are
being removed. The result of this is that the clarity begins to
suffer.
As for why the text in captions doesn't get scaled down,
there are options that you can set to tell Captivate to leave those
elements alone when resizing. Odds are, this option told Captivate
to leave the Captions as is.
Cheers... Rick

Resizing Captivate Project

Hello.
I know how to resize a project.
I have recorded at 1024x768 and add 20 or so lines to the
height so the play bar can ride under the output.
I cannot figure out the best way to to resize down, say to
900x700. I resize and have to do alot of work. Even with Rescale
captions check, the buttons and other objects to not change
accordingly.
I cannot record in the 800x600 mode because too much
information is lost.
I want to resize down so the generated output plays within
the screen so you can see the skin play bar.
Does Captivate 3 address this?
Is there a better way to acomplish?

I haven't played around too much with rescaling, but I have
two suggestions to try:
1. When rescaling, try to use the same aspect ratio - or as
close to the same as you can. E.g., going from 1024x788 (adding
your "20 or so lines for height") to 900x700, might be causing
issues. I don't know this for a fact, but it sure can't hurt things
if you use the exact same ratio - in this case going to 900x693 or
thereabouts, depending upon your original resolution.
2. When I've captured something that I want to scale down,
like software demos that I've captured in higher resolution to get
the whole page, I then scale them down as an imported animation in
a separate project. I just be sure to use the same proportions for
this scaling as described in #1 above to make sure that it looks
the same.
As for your question about the playbar - have you tried
inserting a border in your project? Or playing with the different
types of skins (i.e. the older bitmap skins vs. the newer ones)? I
seem to recall reading somewhere on these forums that one of those
options may change where the playbar sits - no time to look now -
but you might search using those keywords.
Good luck,
David

How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

How can i transfer iWeb projects to a different computer?

How can I copy GarageBand projects to a new iPad?

I recently got a new iPad Air 2 running 8.1.1 and I wanted to transfer GarageBand projects from my old iPad 3 running 8.1.2 to my new device. I found this harder than I expected.
You'd think the help instructions I found at http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.0/index.html#chsec12c387 would be sufficient, but some of the steps didn't work for me. Was it because I was running Windows on my partnered PC rather than a Mac? What this help link doesn't tell you is that, as difficult as it is for me now to navigate around and find my devices after recent changes to iTunes, that all that's available for File Sharing are GarageBand projects that have already been Exported to iTunes. However, then I ran into problems with these instructions "Send a GarageBand Song to iTunes". Step 1- the only place I see My Songs on my old iPad is at the edit screen of a project. When I hit My Songs, it shuts down that recording session and switches to a list of songs, but there is no Export Song button, just a plus sign in the upper left. Hitting the plus doesn't get me to " Export Song button", it gets me to "Create New Song" or " Copy From iTunes File Sharing". It took me a long time to figure out I had to Select a song first, then the icons in the upper left changed and one icon gave me a way to upload to iTunes. Not at all like the help instructions, but at least I could get a project to File Sharing. (or Dropbox) However, if I selected more than one project, the Upload button grayed out. I had 40 projects to transfer, so I wanted to find a solution that would be better than this.
I looked at Re: Import a proyect from garage band to ipad and It is really unacceptable that I cannot transfer my garageband format songs from iPad to iTunes for windows and then add them to my new iPad. Any ideas? but they weren't matching up to my problem. However, it was nice to find out about iFun http://www.i-funbox.com/ , which looks more understandable than iTune File Sharing.
What I eventually discovered was I could select multiple GB projects on the old iPad, and still have the Upload to iCloud icon available in the upper left. All my remaining GB projects went to iCloud in one step and eventually they started to appear in GB on my new iPad Air, except that I had to buy some more iCloud storage.
Is this really the only way to move many GB projects to a new iPad?

Hello marcia999,
This can be done through the Filesharing pane in iTunes (when the iPad is connected).

How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

Hi there.
Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
Thanks
-Dan-

Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum. There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another. The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings. You can control the output clips with the "work area bars". You can then add the new clip to the second project. The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality. Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.
