Changing Frame Size in MPEG2

I'm using compressor to change less than stellar VHS video to MPEG2. I see that compressor has an option for frame size, but its ghosted out for MPEG2, can this be overridden in any manner? MPEG2 can be resized to LoRes MPEG2, with other programs, to 352x240 which is VHS quality and would make the video look generally better on a TV.

MPEG-2 (or MPEG-1) output file frame size can't be altered in Compressor. Sorry.

Successfully changing frame size of footage shot portrait on iphone4

ive been fighting the iphone embedded orientation lock for shot footage.
i have a clip i hit record at the beginnin gthe the phone didn't realize i was recording it widescreen (landscape).
i tried rotating in final cut, but since the frame size is 720x1080 and not 1080x720 after the footage has been rotated the original size of the frame is naturally cropped it.
i transcoded the orig clip in compressor to the correct frame size, but it's now squeezed.
how can i get this clip to be 1080x720 non anamorphic?

You can't add what's not there...
You will have to scale up the video to the width of your canvas... being that the original source is not really a decent camera (and you wouldn't want to do this with a decent camera either), your resulting video will look fuzzy and/or pixelated...
Or you can also change your sequence settings to SD (720 x 486)... but it all depends what is the end use of this video...

Help! Trying to change frame size of project/sequence

I have tried everything I can to change my project's frame size to 320 x 240 from 720 x 480--modifying sequence settings (nowhere to change size, just "timeline options" and "render control" tabs), clicking on the sequence's frame size in the browser (even with option and command), going into user preferences, system preferences, item properties, project properties without any dialog box that will help me make the change. I checked off "Prompt for seeings on New Project/Sequence" in User Preferences, but it only gives me a pop-up menu with the Easy Setup options. What's happening? This is taking me forever to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bob,
Why do you want a project at 640 X 480 ? You will not be able to print it to your camcorder.
Just put those values in quicktime conversion box, and your exported movie will has this frame size.
May be the confusion become from the aspect ratio of pixel...
DV pixel are displayed "as square pixels" in Final Cut Express, if you uncheck this option in viewer, you will get a horizontal squashed image.
That's because TV set do not handle pixel like computer monitor and your camcorder record it with this aspect.
So don't be concern with the 720 or 640 question: just export your movie using quicktime conversion set to 640X480 for viewing on computer (like I suggest earlier) or simply "print to tape" from FCE to your camcorder (with stretched pixel for TV monitoring).

How to Change Frame Size in FCE 2

Hi,
I'm very new to this video stuff. Is there a way to change the frame size in FCE 2? When creating a new project there are different options for the type of video but there does not appear to be a way to change the frame size from 720 x 480. I would like to use a different frame size.
Thanks!!

FCP can. What size is the material and where is it coming from?
The material is 360 x 243, it is a .mov file from a SVHS transfer. Is 360 x 243 a standard size for an SVHS transfer? I expected the frame to be 640x480.

Changing frame size in avi

I'm editing a number of clips (different sizes) and I to save all of them in the same size. When importing I could only convert all their sizes to the projects size (which I couldn't change). When exporting, the feature enabling saving in a different size was disabled.
I used the scaling option, but then the movies are saved in the same size, only with a black background. Is there any way to actually set the movies to the size I want?
The clips are AVIs (could it be a codec issue?)
The operating system is windows XP
I'm using Adobe Premiere CS3
If it is not possible to save the movie with smaller dimensions - is there at least a way to determine the background color?
Thanks,
Aya

Thanks! The GSpot looks like a good program to have
The codec is MP42 (S-Mpeg 4 version 2)
And the initial settings are the default ones - DV-PAL 48kHz
What I would really like to do is to crop (and resize) the videos, then save them all in the same size (smaller than the default 720x576), without a black background. Is it possible?
Thanks!

What settings are needed for Flip 4 Mac to change frame size?

I just installed Flip 4 Mac Studio Pro so that I can make wmv files in different sizes. It works in 340x240 and 480x360, but freezes up when I choose the preset 384x288. Are there other settings that need to be changed to make this work. I thought this version of Flip would allow me to do most anything.
I'm exporting a short 4 min sequence from FCP using Quicktime conversion.

This will give you the instructions on how to set it up step by step.

Resize of picture changes frame size

Hi,
I put an 8 point stroke around my photos and if I resize by using command option shift while draging the corner the stroke changes too.
This is a new behavior for me and I am not sure of the terms to use to look it up in help. How do I resize without changing the stroke weight?
Thanks,
Garrett

Where specifically in the upper control panel?
I'm assuming you mean the lower of the two upper control panels?
So, in the upper control panel there is a button that says "?" click that exact particular button and the window that says Stroke Styles will open.
Alternatively, please tell me what terms to use to look up "Stroke Styles" in help.
Thanks,
Garrett

JFrame content displayed only after changing frame size

Hello everybody,
could someone explain to me why the content in this frame:
public class PHPTableReport extends JFrame {
     public PHPTableReport() {
          getContentPane().setLayout(null);
          final JLabel newAppletLabel = new JLabel();
          newFrameLabel.setBorder(new BevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED));
          newFrameLabel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
          newFrameLabel.setText("New Frame");
          newFrameLabel.setBounds(10, 10, 50, 58);
          getContentPane().add(newAppletLabel);
     }when invoked like this (in a JApplet):
PHPTableReport pHPTFrame = new PHPTableReport();
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);only displays after dragging the window/frame bigger or smaller?
Thanks in advance again
Jan

Change this :
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);To:
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);

Changing Frame Size in MPEG_Streamclip for FC

I have a 4 cameras shoot with 3 cameras filming in PAL at 1920x1080 interlaced, and a different 4th camera filming at 1440x1080 interlaced. I'm trying to convert the 4th camera to match the others, and do a Multiclip editing. So I used MPEG Streamclip for conversion and opened a Destination Folder. But when I imported the 1920x1080 converted files from that folder into my project they were 1440x1080 ! Does anybody have a solution please? Thank you in advance.

Final Cut Pro 7 Slow Render, Frame size changing

I have a sequence open with the following properties:
29.97 fps frame size: 720 X 480, Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Audio Rate: 32.0 KHZ
The Clips I'm editing with have the following properties:
29.97 fps, 854X480, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 32.0 KHZ
Everything was going smoothly until this one clip I dragged in with the exact same properties changed it's frame size. There had been two perfect black bars on the top and bottom of all the shots up until this one clip that changed frame size and covered up those black bars. It's also taking forever to render any small edit I do with that troublesome clip. I was thinking it might have to do with the difference in frame sizes from the sequence properties and the clip properties. I tried to change that by clicking: 1. Sequence 2. Settings.... and changing the width and heigth but it wouldn't let me. Anyone got some tips?

Where did you get that footage? 854x480 is a display size. It sounds like your footage was ORIGINALLY anamorphic DV. Which is actually 720x480. You would need to tell FCP that the footage is anamorphic, either on ingest, or by checking the anamorphic column in the browser-- EXCEPT that somehow the clips are baked in to a non standard size-- like someone exported them at the anamorphic display size. You would do this for example if you were making a file for projection or computer use, where the anamorphic flag would not necessarily be recognized. But you normally would not do this if you were still working with the footage in an editing program.
You might also note that the top clip above is set to less than 100% scale.
What happens if you select all in your sequence and Edit>remove attributes>basic motion and distort?
Quite a mess you've built for yourself, or someone handed you.

MPEG2 frame size areas greyed out :(

I need to take a QuickTime file that was rendered at 864x486 and make an MPEG2 out of it to playback on a PC onto a plasma screen. However, every MPEG2 I create in Compressor changes my frame size to 720x480. The frame size controls are greyed out and will not let me change this. I am not creating a DVD, but I DO need to create an MPEG2. What am I doing wrong?!? I've read different posts on here that say to duplicate the setting so you're not changing the original, and I've done that. Nothing seems to work.

As Silal mentioned, you are probably best off with H.264, the settings in Compressor for MPEG-2 are for DVD and HD DVD sizing.
Make sure you set it for the highest settings and 2-Pass (may take some time) but it really can do an excellant job. Of course the PC needs to meet the specs to play back H.264 properly. As an aside, the 720 x 404 when used is not too bad. I have run component cables from my DVD Player to a 16:9 TV and it looks good. You may want to try a test.

How do i undo my changes in sequence settings? (the frame size)

I have ran into a very frustrating problem. I have FCP 7 and my footage i am editing is HDTV 1080i. With this footage i have to change the frame size to 1440 by 1080 and in another instance i change it to another frame size. The problem is that i made a mistake with one of the frame sizes and i dont know how to undo the mistake. If i enter in a new frame size, the video will only add on to my mistake frame size instead of replacing it. The only way i see fixing this is redoing everything...but there has to be an easier way...any help?! Or am i unclear?

Select the clips that aren't filling the frame correctly, and then right click on one of them to select "remove attributes". From the dialog box that will open, select "basic motion" then click OK. This should take care of your problem if I'm reading this correctly.

How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

Hi again Tony,
I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

Editing scroll view frame size in IB causes table view to change

I suppose this is a continuation of the problems I was having with the table view resizing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2618816&tstart=0.
I have a controller which needs to have a scroll view with numerous elements attached to it, including a table view.
I have performed the following steps:
- Set the simulated interface elements of the owning view to a nav bar.
- Added a scroll view to the main view in the nib file.
- Set the file owner view controller subclass' view to the scroll view.
- Set the contentSize of the scroll view to the desired size in viewDidLoad.
The problem is that the table view size/position are incorrect when I load the view in the iPhone simulator if I change the scroll view's frame size from 320x460. Basically, every time the scroll view frame size is changed, it causes the scroll view position and size to change.
However, there are times I want to make the scroll view's frame size bigger in order to edit items that might be offscreen when the application is first loaded, which becomes awkward if the size of the view in IB or in code without causing the table view size/position to change. I keep having to change the size of the scroll view frame, edit the items, change it back to 320x460, and then fix the table view.
Is there a way around this, such as a way to locking the size of a table?

Hi Kaspars,
I would say there is atm no possibility to change the table view size dynamicly, because you can't input a formula into the size field so the size is fixed as you enter it.
Best Regards,
Marcel
