Can't crop video properly

I just converted a video from mov into flv, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4, but the cropping that I set didn't work. Is there something special I need to do? the black bars along the left and right are still there, and I'd prefer to take them out.

I going to recommend again, downloading and installing some video helper applications.
1. http://perian.org/ (this will add a number of different file types to the ones QuickTime already plays)
2. http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac (will add more file types to what QuickTime can play)
Either one of these might be necessary to get MPEG Streamclip to export the video. Failing that the only other thing I have found is an obscurve discussion thread on Avid.com:
http://duc.avid.com/archive/index.php/t-277791.html
I've figured out what the problem is on my end. The video came from Avid on a Windows machine and was encoded with Squeeze. I found out that the 2 seconds of black at the top of the video were at a different frame rate than the rest of the video. I chopped off the 2 seconds of black and started at the first frame of video, exported it with Quicktime Pro and was able successfully view the video in ProTools. Apparently Squeeze will let you create a movie file that has different frame rates within the same movie... This fixed my issue that was exactly as you describe, hopefully it might work for you.
Lastly, you could try converting the video clip using HandBrake

MSI GE70 - Can't watch videos properly

Hi,
I have got a few months old MSI GE70 2OE, and whilst my computer is plugged to the charger, it works fine - I can game, I can watch and stream movies perfectly etc. However, when I unplug my computer from the charger for instance to bring it with me to bed, the computer fails to play videos properly.
When unplugged, videos cannot be streamed nor played properly - either they do not start or they start and then just freeze after 2-3 seconds.
Why is this? It has always been like this; when I unplug it, I'm on my wireless internet (it's of good quality). Note that when I replug it to the wired internet and the charger, it works fine.
And no, it does not have anything to do with the performance options changing to balanced or sth like that when I unplug it, because I have them set to high performance at all times.
Regarding OS - I use Windows 8.1 - I experienced these issues with Windows 8 as well.
EDIT: I also lose sound functionality.
All of this applies to YouTube-videos as well.
Thanks in advance

each power profile has different configs when is used on ac charger and when its used on battery
you have to edit your use power profile, its advanced options,
from there you can defined max performance for wifi and high performance for onboard gpu,
when its running on battery

How can you crop video to chosen ROI

I have a for loop that reads frames which is a simple way to display a video and manipulate the frames as they pass by.
However, the only way I found to crop a displayed product to your region of interest is
IMAQ select rectangle -> rectangle to ROI-> IMAQ extract -> image out.
The problem with this is that when you put it within a for loop it asks for a new ROI every frame. I have 625 frames and this caused a large problem for my program. I can not put the select rectangle out of the loop because it requires the Read Frame data from within.
Additionally I would much rather have an image out style display on the front end than to generate a new window.
I am perplexed and looking for guidance.
thank you.

Hey agator2,
You can alter the program such that you define the rectangle with one image outside of the for loop, the feed that rectangle to the ROI tools inside of the while loop for processing the image. That will stop the program from prompting you for a new rectangle each time. Hope that helps!

Can't Crop Images Properly

Hello everyone,
I am using Adobe Photoshop CC and I want to crop an image by a specific Width x Height. In previous versions of Photoshop, I was easily able to select the crop tool and input the dimensions up top where it would be labeled as W x H. Now, there are no options for W x H now and all I can choose are weird ratios. I have looked online on how to use the crop tool, and every single tutorial I've looked at says to use the Width x Height option, AKA unconstrained, but that doesn't exist. Instead, all I can choose are ratios and there are arrows in between the input boxes instead of an "x" symbol. I've attached an image to show what few options I have, none of which are Width x Height or unconstrained. How do I fix this?

What you have highlighted is what you want. Select that and put the values in on the menu bar.

Windows 7 and Apple TV- can't stream video

Hi:
I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
- the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
- I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
- I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
- both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
- all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
- the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

This is what is happening:
With an iTunes playlists of about 13,000 songs, one song will start playing (with a huge lag before the cover art appears); when the first song is finished, a second will start with the cover art for the first song still on screen. Eventually the screen goes to black, the time bar for the seconf song will pop up and after a few beats the art for both and first AND second song appear on screen together. A moment later, the audio cuts out, the screen goes to black againand eventially the AppleTV homescreen pops up. I've tried the fixes I've read about on this board; restarting everything (AppleTV, MacBook, etc), closing and reopening Home Sharing on the all the devices, doing a restore on the Apple TV, etc. Everything worked fine until I installed the update.

Can't see video in Source Monitor, or play it in Program Monitor

Hi there
I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 fine for months now, doing the same tasks on a daily basis. However yesterday morning the computer crashed whilst editing some footage and now it doesn't function properly.
I have re-installed the software and this hasn't fixed issues, and also performed a system restore which fixed some but not all of them.
The main problem is I can now import video into the project and drop it onto the timeline (which I couldn't before the system restore) but now I can't view the original footage in the Source Monitor, making editing tricky, and it doesn't play continuosly in the Source Monitor, only giving a still image wherever I leave the playhead.
I can hear the audio and it plays without any breaks, it's just the video.
Can anyone help?

Can anyone help? I use it for work and basically I can't do any more work until it's fixed.
Things I've tried:
Uninstall and reinstall
System restore
Checking opacity on clip
Checking which workspaces are open
importing old footage and other formats
opening old projects
updating codecs
emptying media cache

I can't watch videos on Youtube in HD ever since that mess with HTML5 last month.

So in February there was a brief stint where Youtube decided to force everyone to watch videos only with the HTML5 player, which forced many Firefox users to watch videos with only 360p and 720p as resolution options, and even at 720p the video was blurry and playback was choppy. I tried using a couple different add-ons people made to force Youtube to use Flash Player again, but the video quality was even worse than on the HTML5 player so I removed them. And now, even after Youtube allowed Flash Player to be used again, ever since that mess happened it's affected the videos I watch. Now I can't watch videos in any real high definition, because on any resolution option the videos become "fuzzy." The edges of people, text, and objects are pixelated and either blurry or jagged and not crisp and sharp as they should be. I also have problems with "rippling," where it seems as if thin, vertical lines are moving on the screen and subtly distorting the video. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, Firefox is on the current version, and everything else on my system that I know of is up to date. I have also tried watching videos in safe mode. Nothing changes. I can't get the videos to look normal again. For almost the past month I've had to start using Chrome specifically just for Youtube because nothing I do will get it to work properly again on Firefox.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

How to crop video using ROI

Hello,
Would some one please help me?
I have a loop which continuously aquire images from a camera and saves it to a video . I would like to crop a region of this video by passing the co-ordinates of a rectangle.After I have the cropped video, I would like to do a intensity profile of the whole video and display it using a single graph ( intesnity changes for diffferent frames in the y axis and the the number of the frame in x - axis.
Joyce Joy

Hi,
You can implement image cropping following the example:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-11222
You would have to programmatically generate the ROI rectangle if you do not wish to have user interaction in the code.
I am not quite sure what kind of intensity profile you want, but here is a good example that performs it along a line, so you could just build an array of those and plot it.

Hope this helps!

Can't Hear Videos, but i can hear 'em?

i have a video on my ipod that i can see but i can't hear. whats up with that?

"Can't Hear Videos, but i can hear 'em?"
Eh?
Quicktime doesn't play "muxed" video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
You need a 3rd party converter such as Videora, or MPEG Streamclip to convert the video file.
The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
-or-
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.

White lines around cropped video QT Pro

When I crop videos with a mask white lines appear on the top and bottom of the video when viewed full screen.

Yep.
They probably do and this has been reported since the first version of QT 7.
It seems to only appear in "full screen" mode and is an issue with the mask track shifting one pixel "down" and one pixel to the "right".
The only workaround I've found is to avoid using the pixel "correct" size for any mask layer.
Since the mask track layer can't be adjusted (Movie Properties) you'll have to experiment with sizes.
I use GraphicConverter ($30) to make my masks from a still image from the source file.

Can't get video from camera update / suggestions?

As I think others have reported, I have lost my ability to participate in iChat AV video sessions, and any attempt produces a "can't get video from camera" error message. I am running OS 10.4.5.
I have an extra internal hard drive with no OS on it, so I did a clean install of Mac OS 10.4 and iChat was back to working. I then applied all the Apple Software Updates to bring it up to 10.4.5 as well as any othe Security Updates and such, and it is still working OK as long as I boot off that OS.
This tells me the problem cannot be in my Router or DSM Modem, I think.
In the past, I have had ShowMacster and iGlasses installed on my original system, but I believe that I have uninstalled both of those properly. Still does not work.
I DO have Apple Remote Desktop - Admin installed on this startup volume, and I cannot say for sure whether the problem may have started around the time I installed it. It's possible, I just wasn't keeping chronological records of installs back then.
So, the GOOD news is that I can participate in any iChat AV session I want to be in as long as I have prior notice or enough time to reboot my G5 PowerMac under my second drive, but I still can't keep iChat AV open on my main drive and expect to be able to respond to impromptu invites to a video session.
I thought I may have read that Apple Remote Desktop can create a conflict. If anyone knows, I would be all ears! Thanks for any suggestions.

Dual 1.8 Mhz G5 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I believe I have solved the mystery of why I was getting the "can't get video from camera" error message. I had said earlier that I had Apple Remote Desktop (admin) loaded on my Mac but that I did not normally have this application open. What I failed to realize, though, was that for some reason I also had Apple Remote Desktop set to ON in my Sharing System Preferences pane. All I had to do was to uncheck this box and my ability to carry on video chats returned.
I expect that somehow in the process of installing and running the Apple Remote Desktop application to access another Macintosh on my home network, I must have either manually or automatically caused Apple Remote Desktop to be turned ON as if I was wanting to allow some other Admin user to connect to my Mac. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I am happy with the solution.
