Crop a selection of video?

Does anyone know of a way to "selectively" crop a video? I don't mean cropping the overall size, say from 640x480 to 320x240. I mean like the way you can select and delete a part of a JPG file in Photoshop or other image editing software. I have various video editing apps and some can crop out black borders. But I want to cut away say the the left 100 pixels of a movie, leaving the rest intact. Any ideas? Thanks.

MPEG Streamclip has cropping features.
In QuickTime Pro you can add a "mask" to any video track. Simple black and white image file sized to your dimensions. The white area of the image will allow the underlying video show through.

Why can't I select a video from my iPhoto library to send via email?

I send a lot of photos and used to send videos but now I can't select a video like I do a photo in the library. I have a newer hard drive and use OSX version 10.5.8 wihich I believe is Leopard. I've updated all that is available. Any suggestions?

Can you directly redowload it directly to the iPod by:

Cropping a selection (JS CS3)

Hi -- I am developing a script in which a user chooses one of three predetermined sizes for an image from a dialog. This displays the crop selection but does not crop until the user has a chance to change the crop area (but not the size).
I can create the target crop selection with an action, but I cannot figure out how to crop to the selection area. The size will always be the same -- that I know how to enter in the script. But I do not know how to tell the script to crop the selected area.
Is there a way using the app.activeDocument.crop() command that I can have it crop to only the selected area?
Or is there a simple command I can put in the script to simply "crop" after the user changes the crop area and hits the OK button in my dialog. (Obviously, the user can simply doublelclick to set the crop -- but the OK button will do other things after the crop, and I am trying to eliminate as many clicks as possible.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not understand exactly your above description about user has a chance to change the crop area (but not the size). Do you mean they can move the position of the fixed crop size or the can position and size a part of the image to the crop area. If it is they can move and size part of the image into the crop area. I do that a different way. I set up a layer above the layer the image is on to act as a crop mask. Then I put the user into an menu File>Place dialog where the user select the image which Photoshop then open into a smart object layer below the cropping layer. The user is then in the Place interactive transform dialog where they size and position the part of the image the want within the cropping area. When they commit the place transform I delete the layer used as a cropping mask and add a layer mask to the smart object layer to mask all but the crop area. I don't actually Crop the layer after the process runs the image is still intact and a smart object layer with a cropping layer mask. The user can if the wish to tweak the image still without quality loss.

Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver. I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator. I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it. I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything. Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

Hi Yammer,
Thanks for the response. From what I can tell it is all video file types. The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4. I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

Problem viewing selected iPhoto video event full screen in iMovie.

How do I view selected iPhoto video full screen as an event in iMovie? It always plays the last import instead. I did follow the instructions, but that does not work.

Adrian...
I'm having the same problem!!!! Mine use to sort from new to old and it changed for some reason?
I spoke to apple care and they said it mimics the iphoto order... but it doesn't... I've tried everything, including reversing assending and decending in iphoto.
Like you said, it seems trivial... but it is a pain to scroll to the bottom for everything!
Someone help us
Thanks.

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Without Mouse: Toggle between selected timeline video clips- Keyboard Only Method

Simple Question, but can't able to find the answer on internet.
How do I select the timeline video clip without clicking on it with mouse help?
All I want to do is, select the video with keyboard only. And switch the cam layer on cut. In other words toggle the selected clip on cut points, with keyboard only.
Thank you all
Max

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "the timeline video clip" but here are a few keyboard shortcuts that may help: the q key toggles between the Timeline and the Viewer windows; if the Timeline window is active, the up arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the previous edit; the down arrow key moves the Timeline playhead to the next edit.

Select a video device

Hi
I have an integrated webcam, which works properly as far as I know.
The problem is that every time I try to locate it I get the window asking me to 'select a video device'. there is only one option, but it asks every time.
can I avoid that?
win 7, if it matters.
Thanks

Using "vfw://0" indicates to JMF that it should use the default VFW device. If no default is found / set, it'll ask which one you want to use.
You should try obtaining the address of the specific device from the CaptureDeviceManager...

ITunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos

Hi Support,
I have a problem while I sync my iPhone 4.If I select ‘include video’ option in ‘Sync Photos’ from folder iTunes crashes. It works absolutely fine if ‘include video’ option is not selected. The videos inside my sync folder are compactable with iPhone, since it was taken by iPhone.
Even Sync Photos with ‘include video’ was working fine until I upgraded my iTunes yesterday. Right now I can’t Sync the videos through this option. Please help
I recently updated my iTunes to version 10.4.0.80 and my iPhone is running iOS v 4.3.4 (8K2)
Thanks & Regards

Hi All,
I have exact same problem wiith an iPAD2, latest Itunes & iPAD OS. I removed all the previously syncing okay video content from my Pictures folder (I have mixed photos and video content in each sub folder) and it syncronises okay with "Include Videos" turned on and then even if I put just one video file now in any sub folder iTunes crashes as soon as it tries to optimise this video. I am running Windows 7 Professional and never had any problems prior to latest updatte so come on Apple, surely this is a serious problem evreyone must be having? I have imovie on my iPad and now all the video content it needs I cant get onto the iPAD2. I have tried installing an earlier version but it won't let me and there seems to be conflicting threads on how to do this without losing all my settings and libraries for contacts, email, >10,000 photo's and video's, apps etc.

How do I crop 4:3 formatted video's into one 16:9 video?

I have got a variety of videoclips of various formats.
How do I manage PE11 to read them all and to create one 16:9 video?
Till now I have video's of the following formats:
(1) Video camera MPEG-2 MOD 720 X 576 16:9
(2) Apple iPhone 4 Quicktime AVC MOV 1280 X 720 16:9
(3) Sony DSC MJPEG AVI 640 X 480 4:3
(4) Blackberry MPEG-4 3GP 640 X 480 4:3
(5) Blackberry MPEG-4 3GP 480 X 352 4:3
Shortly I will get other formats as well.
I would like the output video to be something like 960 X 540 16:9
I have tried already a lot of possibilities, but none of them works 100% OK.
Each individual video works OK to get a 16:9 result.
As soon as I import a second video with a different format PE11 goes wrong.
For any of the five formats I have created 16:9 AVI's, by cropping away 1/8 of the height at the top and 1/8 at the bottom.
They work OK in PE11, but I want to use in PE the original videoclips and no homemade AVI's!
Looking forward to get tips!

Although version 11 works pretty well with a variety of video formats, this is really a mess of a video mix, and there are no guarantees with the results. Especially because some of the video is high-rez and some of it is standard definition -- and some is even lower resolution. So know going into it that, at the very least, your 640x480 and especially your 480x352 video is going to look pretty bad when you blow it up to 960x540.
How do you plan to use your output video? Online? On YouTube? On a DVD or BluRay? on an iPad? There may be a more optimal output format.
There are also no guarantees with the MJPEG video you're using. Sometimes it works and produces mediocre results -- and sometimes it doesn't work at all.
That said, I'd open a new project and select the option on the New Project screen to force it to standard definition DV widescreen.
Then, before I put too much work into it, I'd add a sample of each movie source to your timeline and use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the YoutTube Widescreen SD preset to output the video to see if you're happy with the results. No point in putting days of work into this project if it's ultimately not going to work.

Edit, Crop, Custom Select Everybloody time???

I must be missing something but in the last version of iPhoto I would double click a series of pics then hit edit. I would crop the pic to a custom size then click the arrow to save and go to the next pic to crop etc...
Now I have to hit the crop button everytime and everytime I have to pull down the menu to find custom then edit to my crop then hit the arrow for the next.
It then goes out of crop so I have to hit crop again and then pull down the custom again...
There must be a way to have it go to custom crop everytime I want to edit a large set of pics.
If not how can I go back to the last version of iPhoto?
thanks,
frank

You don't have to click on the Crop button each time. Just hit the "c" key. This video shows how quickly multiple crops of the same ratio can be accomplished. What you can see is the "c" key selected after the forward arrow key is selected.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance. iPhoto doesn't not have to be closed to run it, just idle.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I select multiple video clips in iMovie?

I want to select a lot of video clips from the Event Library in iMovie and move them into a Project for editing.
However as there are no up/down arrows on the scroll bar it is really difficult to highlight/select using the cmd button (as I then need to grab the scroll bar and move it down at the same time).
Is there an easy way to do this?
For instance, can I change the clips from visual to a list of file names that I could just then transfer to my project and then switch back to the visual view of each file/clip?
Thanks.

You can also select 'ranges' of clips as you describe using the Shift key. First select #1 clip, hold down Shift, then click on the #29 clip. This will get ALL the clips between #1 and #29 without clicking individual clips or selecting all and chippping away. Same goes for the second example. Click once on the #71 clip then hold down Shift, and click the #100 clip, and everything in between will also be selected. So there's two kinds of clicking:
1. Command/Click (for selecting or deselecting one at a time)
2. Shift/Click (for selecting ranges or deselecting ranges of clips all at one time)

How To Select One Video Feed During A Conference

I have a need to conference with three people and show them a single video presentation. I only need to hear their audio feeds, I do not need to see their video, and they do not need to see each other.
I thought it was possible in iChat to select which of the two conference windows would be full screen. But I don't seem to be able to find a way to do this.
To be clear –
I have a video which is essentially my video feed.
I need to have two different people in two different locations see it at the same time
I need to be able to hear their comments.
I don not need to see them, and they do not need to see each other.
When the screen is split into two windows at an angle, the quality of the video I am sending degrades and the the forced presentation perspective makes the picture even harder to see. Also, there is no reason to tie up the bandwidth with video feeds from my collegues. The ONLY need to see the video, not each other. We all only need to hear each other (my audio is run throug a mixer so I can send video audio as well as my voice).
I thought about trying a video/audio conference, but can't figure out how to invite them to a video chat if they are both audio only. I did mangae to get one of them online as audio only, but it still created the same presentation screen only with a static placeholder where the video would normally be for one of them.
Is there any way to do what I want, i.e. share a single video source with multiple people in full screen, and enable two way audio with all parties at the same time?

Hi,
I thought about trying a video/audio conference, but can't figure out how to invite them to a video chat if they are both audio only. ...
This can be done if the Buddy goes to the Video menu and Disables the Camera (or Video chat if Lion).
However you are right in that iChat presumes there will be video and still places the place holder for that "Video"
I must admit to not having tried this with two Audio Only Buddies whilst sending Video myself.
Logic says it should be possible.
iChat does base the video quality on what it can manage.
This is based on your upload speed and that (download) of the Buddies.
(one Buddy can slow thing up to an extent that in 3 and 4 way chats the Video will drop off - normally the last person added)
If you can get One Way Video with two Audio Only Buddies the Bandwidth issue should not raise it's head.
However things to try:-
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section set the Bandwidth Drop down to 1Mbps (Also try it at 500kbps)
The 500kbps is high enough for 3 and 4 way full on Video chats but you may have issues if the Streamed Video is more detailed than the 640 X 480 pixels for ichat Best rate in iChat 5 (720 X 480 in iChat 6). AT this point you lose out to iChat trying to process the Video.
Strangely the Yahoo App for Mac does exactly what you want. (At least in one to one chats)
It deals with Video as a Stream that others can then look at whilst Audio is more like ichat in that it is Buddy to Buddy.
I don't have enough Buddies in Yahoo (And using the Yahoo App to test this further.

Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

hello ,thanks for jour mail ,but my English is very very bad sorry but
many thank for your feedback. Hav a nice Day
