Crop/Zoom-In/Resize full motion shot

I've got some real nasty vignetting in a 2-1/2 minute video clip, and I must use the clip.
I would like to figure out how to increase the shot size (ZOOM IN) by about 15% and re-render it to take care of this problem.
This is full motion video, NOT a still photograph --Ken Burns won't work here (sadly).
Thanx!

Gerry,
perhaps these two plug-ins may be of interest to you:

Hope this helps,

  • Capture Screen Shot not working in Full Motion

    I am trying to use Full Motion Recording to capture mouse
    movement, while also manually capturing screen shots. The screen
    shots are not being captured though. I've tried the default Print
    Screen key, and also resetting it to the Down key, with no success.
    I can capture the screen shots when Full Motion Recording is not
    active.
    The information in the Help files and Knowledgebase seem to
    indicate that it's possible to manually capture screens while
    recording full motion. Any suggestions about what could be going
    wrong?
    Thanks.

    Hi LisaLouLou and welcome to our community
    I think the help may be misleading you here. If you are
    recording by using the total “Full Motion Capture”,
    Captivate ignores the Print Screen key because you have told it
    that the entire project is to be recorded using Full Motion. Hence,
    there is no slide by slide based recording as there is using the
    other options.
    After you have recorded, you are free to insert blank slides,
    then add images as needed in case that helps.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Full motion .swf's in Adobe Presenter

    This has been one of the most frustrating and time consuming
    technical issues I've ever encountered. This is my 3rd posting (2
    on a Captivate forum, 1 on a Presenter forum), and no one is able
    to help me! Surely I can't be the only one to encounter the blank
    screens that appear in my .swf files embedded in Adobe Presenter.
    When I publish the Captivate file to .swf, multiple files are
    generated. There are around 20 of them called "Fullmotion"... I can
    view the main .swf file fine in IE, but when I insert the Flash
    file in Presenter and publish the file, the video in the published
    presentation plays for a while, then a white screen pops up, goes
    back to playing, white screen again, etc... I figured out that
    those white screens appear whenever there's a "Fullmotion" .... At
    first I thought it was a Flash version issue, but that isn't the
    case. Then I thought I had my answer when someone suggested to turn
    off the borders. That didn't work.
    What's the deal here? We paid a lot of money for these Adobe
    products, you'd think they'd work together! Or that they would at
    least offer free support ! Please someone help me!!

    Hi,
    The John Daigle solutions doens´t help me either and I
    dont know why. But I
    fix it using Flash to import/export each fullmotion in
    version 7 with AS
    1.0 and "import" this files to the respective slide to change
    for the older
    one.
    I hope that captivate´s team fix it in the next update.

  • Re: full motion scrolling problem

    Hi Jay
    What version of Flash Player do you have installed? I ask
    because the issue
    with white screens displaying where the full motion bits
    should be seems to be
    a common complaint among Captivate users since Flash Player
    version 10 arrived.
    Someone from the Captivate development team posted about
    this in the thread
    linked below:

    As I understand it, only the Captivate preview has issues.
    If you choose to
    preview in the browser (instead of in Captivate) the preview
    should work.

    Hi Jay,
    I have been developing content in Captivate heavily for 4
    years. I am curently doing a project for a client using Captivate 2
    and I am having major problem with full motion recording. Not only
    do I sometimes get the white screens (no pattern to when it
    happens) so is this really a Flash 10 problem!? but I had some
    shots that needed me first to scroll down and then scroll to the
    right. They looked fine in the editing pane but when I previewed or
    published they got mixed up. I tried re-recording those scrolls
    about 10 times and still issue. After 6 hours wasted, I ended up
    having to completely delete that file and start again. Only then
    did it work. I have often found full motion scrolling in Captivate
    to be erratic and unpredictable, especially when you have more than
    3 full motion animations in one project.
    Sorry I didnt find a solution for you.

  • Why does my timeline preview crop/zoom in on the original footage?

    In the thumbnails (bottom left) the shots are nice and wide. The same width/height shots are displayed when I double-click a thumbnail and it plays in the top left corner. Heres the problem: when I drop a clip into the timeline and go to play it, the clip is suddenly only showing 2/3's of the frame like it was cropped or zoomed in 2 or 3 times.  I know the raw imported footy is not cropped because I can see it (how it should look) in the thumbnail and other window (top left) looking exactly how it should. Only in the timeline does it get zoomed in. This is for every clip, and no I didnt accidentally crop/zoom in.  Im thinking/hoping it has to be a timeline preview setting that needs to be adjusted. Also thought it might be a project setting that I didnt set up correctly with the footage type.  FYI, it is not the "zoom" setting in the preview window, I have it at 100% and tried 75% as well. It isnt the window, but the video inside the window which is zoomed in.  Does that make sense?  This is my first time using Premiere, but have been video editing with Sony Vegas for a few years so I am knowledgable of video, just not this interface..Help me please!! Thanks!

  • How can i take a full screen shot of a web page without using paparazzi?

    I would like to take a full screen shot of a web page but scroll down to the page as well. i have downloaded paparazzi which seemed to be recommanded but I am not satisfied with what it does any other suggestion to get a clear picture of the page???

    Hi Keith,
    It doesn't have to be a movie.  Snagit, for example can capture the complete browser window as an image which you can then save as a png, jpg, tiff, gif, bmp or snagit document.  That's what I thought the OP wanted so I didn't suggest the built in screen captures.
    Take care,
    ivan
    (To Philo9, I saved this with 80% quality, so it's not the best.  You can save as full quality, png or tiff to get better than this. Click on it to see it full size.)

  • Cannot record Full Motion slides EVER

    I recently upgraded to v.3 from 2 since I thought this would
    take care of the bugs that plagued my Captivate 2 experience. While
    they were annoying, I could still work around those issues
    comfortably and get my work accomplished.
    However after upgrading to v.3, I have not only been seeing
    the same bugs as before, but now I am encountering a whole series
    of new issues. My biggest problem is that I can't get Captivate to
    do FMR, ever:
    - It won't record full motion slides when I scroll a web page
    or drag and drop something.
    - It won't do it during demo mode even if I force it with F9
    and F10 (I only end up with regular slide captures where the full
    motion slides should be).
    - If I put Captivate in Full Motion Recording mode, it
    records a single plain slide, regardless of how long I ran the
    capture session for.
    Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated
    as I am not having the best luck with your tech support helpdesk
    (long hold times and dropped calls). We use Captivate exclusively
    for our course development and getting this feature to work is
    crucial to us. If I can't get this fixed - any way I can get a
    downgrade back to v.2?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    All, I have discovered the last Captivate update (which is
    causing caption text formatting issues) is also responsible for my
    issue with Full Motion Recording. I did not notice this at first
    since Captivate updated almost immediately after my first reinstall
    so I continued to observe the issue. The only solution I have found
    is to reinstall the software and then delete the AdobeUpdater.dll
    library file in the Captivate directory in the Program Files
    folder, which forcibly disables the Adobe Updater - I haven't found
    any other way to do this.
    It's kind of frustrating since I will need to watch out for
    the next update that will fix what was broken in the last one and
    once that is out, reinstall the software to add back the updater. I
    share the frustration that I see from many of the users here - most
    of the "solutions" to Captivate issues that I read on this forum
    are no more than hacks, and I wish that the software could just
    work properly - that way, I wouldn't need to "fix" my issue with
    the latest update through a hack like reinstalling and deleting the
    updater library.
    Adobe, during future product design, please consider that
    maybe your users would like the ability to disable updating when
    you push out updates that break your own products.

  • Full-motion Video

    OK, I have cerated a number of chapters in an onlien tutorial
    and they are all working fine. But now I am creating one chapter
    that will need to utilize a long (20-30 secs.) of full-motion
    video. When I do the capture, and switch over to full-motion (F9),
    it appears everything is fine. I switch back (F10) and then end my
    recording.
    The first issue is that Captivate breaks up the full-motion
    section into several segments, resulting in a visible glitch
    between them when playing back. (I am also finding that the program
    crashes frequently when working with full-motion, so I am saving
    and restarting frequently.)
    But the real problem comes in playback over the web. There
    seems to be a problem in the file picking up the swf video at the
    right moment and I am sometimes seeing nothing but a black screen.
    If I play the file a few times, then it seems to load and play back
    OK, but is there anything I can do to ensure a consistent playback?
    Thanks!
    bobby

    Hi Ray,
    You are experiencing "normal behavior" for the use you are
    putting Captivate to. It was never designed as a full motion video
    capture tool. I won't argue whether or not the marketing people
    ever said it was capable of doing what you say you bought it to do,
    but I really doubt they would make a claim that everyone knows is
    not true ... if you can find something official from Adobe
    asserting that, I'd sure be interested in seeing it.
    The full motion feature was intended to be used to
    demonstrate 2-3 second drag-and-drop operations, or use of a
    scroll bar action of about that duration. In addition, you stated
    you are capturing at 1024x768 size, which is an image of truly
    gigantic proportions - adding to the full motion load you are
    already throwing at the product. Could it be that another product
    is better suited for what you want to do? I'd consider that
    seriously because you are asking more of Captivate than I believe
    it can deliver on anything but a machine designed for 2015
    processor speeds with infinite resources.
    It is especially sad that you own and used Captivate 1.0.1,
    then spent an additional 30 days using the Trial version of
    Captivate 2.0 ... but are just now finding it doesn't do what you
    thought it should do. Again, sorry for your trouble.

  • I am not able to view full screen shot of a USB program. Any suggestions?

    I have a USB flash drive with a personal health record program preloaded.  When I plug in the flash I'm unable to view the full screen shot.  I have Windows 7.

    The program may be limited in the size of the window it can create for display, I would ask the company that produces that program if it is the only program with this issue.

  • Importing full motion video in slidelet

    Alright recorded some slides and I am trying to incorporate
    them in to a slidelet but they have full motion recordings in them.
    When I publish to SWF it makes two separate SWF files. The full
    motion portion is in the middle of my project. Is there any work
    around to playing the full project in the slidelet? Will I again be
    stupefied by the simplicity of it?

    Sorry, I didn't think about just making the whole thing full
    motion.....

  • Recording Smart Phone - full motion not capturing stylus movements

    I am trying to create a recording that shows the movements of a stylus on a smart phone. I have the smart phone connected using active sync and am using pocket controller to project onto my computer. All of the captures work fine if i use the mouse to make the movements.
    However, i want show how someone can use the stylus to transcribe right on the phone, rather than flipping out their keyboard.
    For some reason, i can't get the full motion recording to capture the stylus movements.
    any suggestions?
    Thanks so much
    Lynn

    Hi Lynn
    I find that as good as Captivate is, it falls short on full motion. So you may wish to investigate other alternatives for those full motion bits, then drop them into the Captivate slides for playback. I've done this using Techsmith's Camtasia Studio. You might try that. Not sure if the trial will watermark things or whatever. You might also investigate Jing or Screenr. Perhaps either one of those will produce a SWF you could drop into Captivate.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Full Motion Capture Options

    I'm currently trying to create help files for Flash
    animations using captivate instead of screen recording software
    dude to file size, with the type of animation I have to activate
    Full Motion Capture Recording. the problem I get is the file size
    for the 10-15 seconds I'm capturing, I have reduced some of the
    onscreen movement and animation so there is less action on the
    recording but the file size is still a little to big and there
    appears to be very little in the way of options for how the Motion
    Capture is setup, in Captivate 1 there is a video quality option
    which when reduced below 70% make the video un-useable so I assume
    that’s why this feature is missing from Captivate 2.
    Anyway I'm babbling now, I have tried to export the Motion
    clip to SWF and incorporate it into Flash but upon importing to
    stage the video has a lot of strange symbols that look like
    possible masks captivate uses to move content in the animation, so
    is there any other way to export the Motion capture in captivate to
    another format.
    Regards
    Stuart Tawse

    Hi Klaudia78 and welcome to our community
    Firstly, Captivate has always been rather weak in the full
    motion category. However, having said this, you may want to look at
    the following options:
    Click Options > Recording Options... > Full Motion
    Recording tab. You may wish to make the following changes:
    * Ensure the opton "Disable hardware acceleration" is enabled
    (checked)
    * Ensure the option "Video color mode" is 32 Bit
    Click Project > Preferences... > Preferences tab and
    ensure the option "Frames per second" hasn't been changed from 30.
    If so, try changing to 30.
    Hopefully these help... Rick

  • Supporting full-motion swf files

    Hello,
    Is there a way to create only one swf file even though the
    project contains partial full motion recordings? Thank you in
    adavance for your time and response. Özlem

    Hi Özlem
    There may be. Here is how I've accomplished it. This
    technique was developed by fellow Adobe Certified Instructor John
    Daigle.
    Publish your project to a temporary location. Lets call it
    Folder A.
    When you publish, it's important that you ensure that your
    Publish dialog lists Flash Player 7 as the target version.
    After you have published, insert a blank before each slide
    containing full motion video (FMV). Configure the play time for the
    slide to match the FMV slide.
    Now insert the corresponding FMV clip you find in Folder A
    where you published earlier. After you insert, delete the original
    FMV slide. Rinse and repeat until all FMV slides have been removed
    and matching slides with FMV from the temporary folder have been
    inserted.
    Publish again (and again ensure you publish to Flash 7 as the
    target).
    As I said earlier, this process worked for John and it works
    for me. But I've outlined it here before and it failed for one or
    two folks. I'm not sure why. There are a few little animations that
    may need tweaking if you are using those.
    Hopefully you will be successful with it... Rick

  • Full motion swf's -- mystery

    I am still learning and playing by creating a series of
    software demo/tutorials.
    One of my projects produces 3 fullmotionX.swf files when
    published in addition to the regular swf file.
    How did this get enabled for one project and why are these
    files needed?
    I am making recording of softwarfe apps with voiceover. I
    wouldn't call that full motion.
    Is there any benefit to using this function for software
    tutorials?

    Hi masterctrl01
    Absolutely love the handle, wicked dude(ette).
    The full motion files created are usually done as part of the
    recording process in certain circumstances. Usually, when you
    record and perform a drag n drop or scroll with the mouse, then
    Captivate will, by default, create the full motion file that then
    displays this "movement". The benefits of this are pretty obvious
    in a demonstration type of output as the user can now see the
    action taking place (e.g. We will now scroll down to the bottom of
    the page.)
    Anyway, hope all queries answered, but please shout back if
    there is still a concern.

  • Zoom into a letter (Motion 3)

    Hi there,
    I have a white screen with black text on it. I am attempting to transition to a black screen by zooming all the way into a black letter. Is it possible to set a zoom point and let motion take care of the rest? Or will I have to keyframe this manually? When I attempt to keyframe this animation, I reach a point where I just can't zoom into the letter anymore. Does anyone have any advice for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

    umm...what do you mean by white borders? you tried what mark said with the camera?
    or
    change your group to 3d, arrange the anchor point of the group to where you want it to zoom to, then move the group's position on it's z axis.
    or if the group is 2d, place the anchor point of the group to where you want it to scale to and scale the group...
