Croping and resizing a video.

Example: I record a sequence with a green screen and a person talking. The recording is in 1920x1080 pixels. After the keying and editing the movie I would only output the person talking, let's say 700x1080.I had no problem to do it with FLV since there is a "Resize Video" option on the Media encoder. I haven't found that on other export settings, e.g. H264, mp4. There it let's me only do the given aspect ratio of 1.777777... or 1.33333...If I try to force it into another format by using the width/height entry, it comes an error "invalid frame size".
What I would like is a video that has a different aspect ratio than 16:9 or 4:3, a cropped version in the mp4 format but not using FLV.

Create a new sequence using the frame size you want. Copy the footage you have to the new sequence and scale it accordingly using the scale tool (under Motion in the video effects panel). Export the new sequence.

  • Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop???

    I would like to know how to skew, warp and resize a video inside of photoshop cs4.  I would also like to know how to nest multiple video files into one file.
    I am new to Photoshop, I am looking for some tutorials but unable to find any.
    Thanks

    Marian, thanks for the advice.
    Thou I understand your point, very well about screwdriver vs hammer, that was not my question in my post.  I asked a straight forward question about how to Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop.  Not which is the best software to use for this task.
    If you know the answer, share the knowledge, is this not what this forum is for or am I in the wrong place???  Before suggesting which tool is best for me to use, try understanding what I want to build first.  This makes all the difference. 
    As I have already proven to myself I don’t need a new tool to accomplish the task I had at hand.  If I took your advice, I and my company would have wasted money on a software that we did not need in the first place.
    Understand your client needs first before giving advice.  Sometimes a hammer is all it takes, if you use right.
    I don’t need to study more on video production, this is not my job.  All I wanted to know was how to edit a video in Photoshop.
    I hope we are not off on the wrong foot because I feel I could learn a lot from you but you need to take the time to understand the question before shooting from the hip with an answer.

  • Crop and Resize video in AME at the same time !

    Hi everybody
    I'm new to Adobe Media Encoder CS4, used to encode with Flash Video Encoder.
    It seems that is it impossible with AME CS4 to crop and resize a video at the same time.
    In input i have a 1280*720 video, that I first resize to obtain the desired height (300px)
    so i obtain a 533*300 video,but when i would like to crop it in the same operation, that's not work, it doesn't keep the height i want (300px)
    If I start by cropping my video, i obtain a 538*683 video, but i can't resize after, because the width and height in right panel are in grey, inaccessible.
    In Flash Video Encoder (with Flash 8) it was possible to do this 2 operations at the same time, why doesn't this work in AME CS4 ?
    (please excuse my poor english ^^)
    Thanx by advance

  • Resizing a Video Player in JavaFX

    I am working on trying to create my own video playing component from scratch. Part of the reason is that I know that along the way I am going to learn a lot of things about JavaFX which will get me up to speed. I am an experience (SCJP) Java programmer but am still relatively new to JavaFX. I have managed to get a movie to open and play but the viewer needs to be resized to be the right size for the video. I know that the media has width and height properties I can use to calculate the size I need but the problem I have is trying to resize the media view. I have tried a few different things and don't seem to be getting anywhere. In Java it would just be a matter (more or less) of calling setSize() on the relevant component but I can't seem to see how to resize correctly in JavaFX.

    it depends on the component used to display the video
    you have to set it in the initDisplayMode(int,Object) of the VideoControl class.
    - displayed on Item will not give you a real fullscreen
    - dislpayed on a Canvas will give you a fullscreen if you initialise your
    app to fullscreen mode and resize the video to the screen size

  • Video Crop and Resize

    Not sure if this is a bug but it's frustrating! I'm using the
    Mac version of Flash CS3. I set everything up correctly to crop a
    video clip (dragging the sliders in the 'Crop and Resize' tab). I
    then start the queue etc. The resulting flv has NOT cropped as I
    specified?? I get strange sizes, distortions etc. This also happens
    by direct import to the stage (embed or external).
    Also I find that I need to check the 'Resize Video' check box
    even if I don't want to resize the video to get Flash to import at
    the correct size of the original! This renders the cropping tool
    useless. Any ideas anyone?

    I've since done some tests. The issue appears to be related
    to the source video and not the Flash Video Encoder, particularly
    the compression format. I have a set of clips at the same size but
    the compression formats are different (I checked the movie
    properties in QuickTime). Sorenson versions seem to crop and resize
    OK, but the DV format doesn't.
    At least the Flash side of things are fine.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS5 - Can we crop and resize at the same time?

    Flash 8's video encoder, use to let you crop (cut x amount of pixels out) and then resize  a video (and in that order it did it).
    CS5's Media Encoder is confusing, from what I can tell it cannot do both, you either can crop or resize but not both. ANd if you can do both, you definately cant crop before the resize. So which is it?
    Resizing made sense last, because you could put in new values for the resize nad figure out how much you need to crop out.
    Please help this is driving me insane.

    Everyone in my office has the same problem!
    We really need an alternative to AME both because of the crop/resize problem and many other seamingly random issues with preview and export.
    Adobe Media Encoder sucks...

  • How to resize the video in Compressor?

    Hi all, my first post here,
    I just know  we can't optionaly resize the video in Final Cut Pro and
    using the compressor can resovle this problem,
    It's not very convenient to resize the video in FCP.
    i wanna ask how can i  resize the video in compressor
    Thanks a lot

    First, you should carefully think why you'd need to resize. You can export from FCP X to the standard sizes, both HD and SD. Do you really need some nonstandard size?
    Keep in mind that usually you'll get the best quality if you edit in the desired final size, rather than resizing afterwards.
    If you do need to create a video in some nonstandard size, like, say 1080x1920 (i.e. in "portrait" form), there is a way to do it:
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial
    With Compressor you have many pre-made defaults for different kinds of devices. Also, you can export to Quicktime and tweak the settings to get a desired size.
    1-Drag one of the existing settings (in the example below, I used SD 480p)
    2-Select it
    3-In the Inspector, select the "Geometry" tab
    4-Choose "Custom" and enter the desired size.
    5-Change the other properties (such as codec, under the "Encoder" tab), as needed
    5-Choose "Save As..." and save it (give a suggestive name, say "Portrait") so that you can later reuse it as needed.

  • How do i resize my video in photoshop ess 13

    can anyone help please need to know how to resize my videos for sending in an e-mail  thanks

    In the menu, under Image is a choice to Resize.  But that is not what you want to do because it changes the "dimensions" of the image.
    Instead, you want to File > Save As, pick JPEG and there will be a choice for "Quality" with a slider.  You may have to try it a couple times to see if you are getting an appropriate file size for your email system.

  • How do I resize original video in iMovie

    Hi, I have a large library of video in a number of events. The previous version of iMovie (9) had an option to resize this video from it's original size (1080p) to 'Large' 960p. As I wanted to get some space back and was quite happy to have this video at a smaller size I was about to start the process when I updated to iMovie 10.
    But I cannot find the same option in the new version of iMovie.
    Is it hidden somewhere or do I have to use another program to do the work?
    Other factors include can I just resize the original source files now that they are in new iMovie Libraries?
    I also remember that the older version used a format (Apple codec) for the source material that consumed more disk space, but made it faster and easer to scrub through the footage in iMovie. Which format should I use for the resized video?
    Thanks
    Derek

    You need to find yourself an old version of Imovie 6
    but it has to be iMovie 6.04 nothing less nothing more.( available to work on intel PC's
    It still works in lion and mountain lion as I have a brand new mac mini infront of me and it works on it.
    Apple stock is down, why?  they are becoming PC stupid.
    I have been creating celebration of Life DVDs for 14 years and iMovie 6 HD  is  the best app ever invented.
    It has it's quirks but once yu figure them out you are running free.
    I have macpros, macbooks macminis powerpc's, intel this and intel that.
    I refuse to captialize any of the words as macIntosh and apple are doing plenty of that right Now.
    Capitalize your pocketbook
    is what i am talking about
    there is a  company named geethree that created hundreds of plugins for iMovie 6 HD
    They are absolutely fantastic.
    They do more than you could ever imagine aprogram could do.
    I am totally amazed at apples could care less attitude.
    They once had the best computer out there I have been using both Windwoes and macs for 18+years
    Put me in charge and they would be worth 900 dllars a share instead of 459.00 or whatever they dropped to.
    I am done, almost.
    I sure hope Dell decides to do something special like Steve Jobs did

  • Mac Pro and DVI to Video Adapter

    I just received a new Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300 card and was planning to use it in part to display video on a set of TV monitors using the Apple DVI to Video Adapter. Try as I might I have not been able to get the computer to recognize a TV regardless of the DVI port and using both S-Video and RCA. I now see that in Apple's store the converter is classified as Requiring a "MacBook Pro, Mac mini or Power Mac G5 with DVI port". Not sure if there's any way around this. The adapter has worked fine in the past with both a Mac Mini and a G5 tower. If anyone knows a possible workaround or if an updated adapter is forthcoming I would appreciate the information.

    Just to be clear here: There is no way to get S-Video
    output from my $~2700 machine (with the stock
    7300gt)? Not even with (maybe forthcoming) additional
    adapters? This is pretty embarrassing. Actually I'm
    sorta angry.
    Are there any other options like DVI->VGA->S-Video
    maybe? I surely won't dump $150 into the trash just
    to have that (supposedly) noisy beast of a x1900
    screaming around here. Just for S-Video. This is
    silly.
    There are VGA to S-Video converters but they cost more than the Apple adapter. Here is one. Probable a bit fancier than you want. There are others.
    <http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/PC-TVvideoadapter.html>
    The Apple adapter is cheap because all the work is being done in the video card when it detects the adapter. The video card outputs the S-Video brightness and color, and the composite video on the DVI pins that would normally be used for analog red, green, and blue, using the A/D converters normally used for a CRT. The adapter just sends the signals to different connectors. The adapter won't do anything with a card that wasn't designed to output TV video.

  • What is the best way to make and organize home videos? Macbook Pro? iPad?

    I have a Sony Handycam HD camcorder and a macbook pro.  Right now, I'm creating home videos by dumping all raw video into iMovie, adding a date/time stamp and saving the video to an external hard drive.  Is this the best way for me to create and store these home videos with my current setup?  I also take some video with my iPhone and include them in the iMovie projects as well.  I want these videos to be around for a long time and I'm afraid I'm going to lose them since I've graduated from DVDs to actual .mov files.
    With that said, I would like to find a more streamlined approach.  Idealy, I would love to replace my macbook pro with an iPad and use the iMovie app to process all of my home videos and then save to iCloud or an external hard drive.  Is this possible? 

    Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

  • What is the best way to move and resize layers?

    When I click on a layer to move and resize it in Elements 8 in Windows 7, it disappears.  After I go to Edit/Undo, it reappears.  What should I do?

    I have PSEv.8 and Windows 7, and the Editor works like a charm for me.
    Try the following:
    Open picture 1, duplicate the background layer.
    Open picture 2, make a selection of something in the picture with one of the selection tools, and then go to Edit>copy. This puts the selection on the clipboard.
    Go back to to picture 1, go to Edit>paste, and the selection will be on its own layer
    Use the move tool to position and resize the selection.
    The middle layer can be dragged to the top. Here, this process will obscure visibility of Layer 1, but you can drag the layer structure back, of course.
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1D3wrzjD5r24U8LfdTA1sdUb0zJOY0
    I opened a picture of the house on the lake, copied/pasted the "Slick Rock Divide" sign as per above. The layer structure is represented in the print screen.
    You should note that it is best if the resolution of the picture files is the same, or close to it.

  • Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into.  Image is too small.  How do I resize the image while in the template?  Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

    I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times.  The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small.  Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........?  I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
    Thanks!

    Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
    Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template".  But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.  You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
    Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
    If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum.  This is not the Elements forum.
    Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:
