Can I resize video frame?

I have the Canon Vixia HF R400, which is lovely. But the video frame is very wide and thin. Is there a way to resize the frame so that it's more square-ish, and less long, thin cinematic rectangle?

Hi Heatherelena,
The shape of the recorded video is a by-product of the aspect ratio (the size of the width and the size of the height) of the movie. This ratio cannot be changed from 16:9.

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

I can not import videos frames to layers.

I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
Photoshop is not designed as a video editor. Video is more or less and add on.
Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6. While there is still support for menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers. Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop. Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better. I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into. Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want, And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements. If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud. CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended. Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can also use LR. I do not use LR or do video editing. I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video. Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

Can you import Video Frames to Layers if your video is larger than 1280x720?

I can import a video that is 1280x720 or smaller to layers, but can't import one larger than that or Photoshop freezes up. and then has to be force quit. when i reopen it after force quiting, it immediately crashes and then when i reopen it and try to import any video in any way it gives me the error message "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available."

I can not import video frames in photoshop elements 12

Hello,
I want to import video frames (for making an animated gif). The instructions how to do this in elements is clear (Go to File, choose Import, choose video frames), but I don't see that last option in the menu... See screenshot.
(I tried to import video via Organizer but that is not possible either)
So what to do?
Thanks for any help.
Robert

Frame from video was removed because it was just too old and not useful for what video is like today. It was designed to grab a frame from those short tiny videos that early digital cameras made, you know the ones that could record about 30 seconds of video at 300 x 400. It was never any good at longer videos and couldn't do HD at all, so adobe removed it because it was becoming more of a problem than a solution. It is not in any language version of PSE 12.

Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore. Whats Wrong

Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.
Good luck,

Can you resize Video Skins in Flash CS3

I am inserting a Flash Video into a file and trying to
include the automatic skin from the import dialogue box. If I have
a small video (say around 180 pixels wide), the skin juts out
obtrusively off to the sides. Is there a way to manage the size of
the skin?

I don't know about about as3 versions but the as2 versions
can have a minimum width which I think from memory is defined in
the skin file itself.
You could make your own skin by copying one of the existing
skin flas and changing it to suit , including the line of code that
specifies the minimum width.

Can't use Video Frames to Layer command on windows7 Home version 32bit

Hello
I can't use the command because it said that PS does not support video on this Windows version.
Do I need to upgrade my windows to another version so that I can use the command?
Right now I've already installed Adobe PS CC trial version.
I'm using
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit SP1
Intel Core i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 4.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
if that'll be any help.

It's a bug introduced with one of the recent Windows Updates. For now the best you can do is to uninstall the respective patch:
WMV files corrupted on import or export

I can't resize frames in InDesign CC 2014. Is there a setting for this?

All was working fine at first. Now I can't resize any frames once they are drawn on the page. I can move them, just not resize them. I'm on deadline--a speedy answer is appreciated!

Ah. I've figured out the issue -- it's not that I can't resize them. It's just that there is suddenly such a long response time from when I hold down the mouse button that I didn't realize it eventually would resize.
Which is still a problem, but probably has to do with my computer memory.

Can I ''import'' a frame directly from a videoCam into Photoshop?

I am used to ''capture'' video shots into Premiere, then I know how to stop on a still image and save it as an image..but : is there a way to ''import'' an image (while video cam is connected via Firewire, paused on a specific frame) without going through the laborious process ?
I use a Canon HV30 (miniDV). Yes I could have used the SD card and created pictures instead... But there are frames within video shots I would like to get as pictures. What is the best (and/or easiest) way to do this ?
Thanks
Rob

There's a video layer ( overlay different from your typical screen ) - There's a chart somewhere that can show you the different "modes" of video used by monitors ...but basically the screen capture and utility used depends on what mode your capture utility puts the video "preview", and I have nothing to test that with here now..
This capture from prnt screen (same result from corel capture utility ) shows that once video gets placed into the video overlay space..you cant capture with those type programs... there was a paused video in that box...and I could not capture it..
below is some tricks to use windows media player to capture frames from ALREADY saved videos...
The video overlay / space ---that the capture utility you use hopefully is NOT that video overlay space...so you can do screen capture.
Grabbing frames from a video with window media player
When you want to grab a single video frame Windows media player can get the job done. Windows media player is Microsofts solution to play videos on your PC computer and it is installed with all Windows XP and Windows Vista PCs. Windows media player is probably the most used media player program in the world.
If you try to grab a video frame with print screen in Windows media player or any of the many screen capture utilities all you will get is probably a black screen. The problem is that that almost, or I would say all, video cards use a special layer for videos rendering. The video is really displayed overlayed on top of the media player window. What you get when you capture or print the screen is really what is displayed behind the video, probably not what you want. The reason for things working this way is performance. Dedicated video hardware is able to play high resolution videos at a good framerate without slowing down your computer or eating your laptop battery. The downside is that you can not capture video frames from the overlay.
Changing options
In the Windows media player program we need to do some changes to the default options. Open up the options dialog from the tools menu. Under the performance tap you will see an advanced button that you need to click. On the advanced dialog page uncheck the "use overlays" option. Now restart Windows media player and see if you can grab video frames with the print screen button. If this still does not work there is a second thing you will need to try. Again open up the performance tab and disable hardware acceleration all together. Again you need to restart Windows media player for this to have an affect.
==================
ps...If, in fact, your capture utility puts the video into the overlay video space, you do a google search for "capture video frames" you can find programs made for it...
Good luck

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage? I can do on individual frames but don't know ho

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage in CC? I can do on individual frames but don't know how to batch process .
How do I save it after? Render?

To fill in the void in the background, you can use the clone tool. However, for a large area that may not work well.
A good alternative is to use a "digital patch". With the rectangular marquee tool , select a pleasing substitute from somewhere else in the picture (not a fire hydrant!), then place this on its own layer (CTRL+J), and with the move tool position the patch and resize it if indicated
You should also explore the Recompose tool (ALT+CTRL+R) which may work well for your purpose.

If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
Thanks.

You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Can't keep the original size of the video (Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h)

I am importing .mp4 files set at 874 x 480h. Somehow AME makes the output size 640 x 480h, which significantly vertically compresses the video.
I tried so many different ways of uncheking the Rewsize Video box, checking it again and specifiying 874 x 480h. Best I got is 874 x 480h with black borders left and right and the actual video to be rendered in output tab is still at 640 x 480h.
It seems that Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h and can not be changed.
Is there some bug in AME I have to work around? Or is it a problem with the original video? If the problem with an original video what exactly do I ask my client to rerender it like if I already receive it in 874 x 480h, can view/play it in this size, AME recognizes the original video to its true size, shows it to its true size if 1x1 pixel preview is selected. However will show a distorted 640 x 480h version if Aspect Ratio Corrected Preview is selected (even with the Resize Video box unchecked)?

Hi Marion,
Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.
