CS3 rotating and cropping video

Hi there
Please can someone help me? I have a video sequence that I need to rotate and then export as a MPEG file. I have managed to rotate it and crop it, however I still have large black margins. I want to show this video in a powerpoint presentation and I cannot get rid of the black margins at all. I am going crazy!!
Thanks
Dylan

[Due to a forum error during moderator editing, Harm's reply was lost. Here is the text of his reply, edited for content.]
Export dimensions are 323 x 480 pixels
followed by:
NTSC, 352x240, 29.97 non-drop frame [FPS], progressive, quality 5
which is utterly inconsistent.

Lightroom 3 Beta-Image Rotate and Crop Tool

Good Morning Adobe,
First of all let me say Lightroom 3 is fantastic! I do have a couple of suggestions that might make the image editing more efficient. I find that I use the image rotate and crop tools frequently and think that possibly locating these 2 features below the image in the tool bar with the loupe view/zoom fit/before and after will allow the user to edit the images more efficiantly.
I believe that this is an incredible program and can't wait to see the finished product!
I will offer more suggestions as they evolve.
Thank you Adobe! You are the BEST!
D.A.

Thank you...I discovered this answer online from another post last night and tried it. (Since I didn't re-size the thumbnails, I wasn't aware that you could do this.) After re-starting Lightroom and my computer, the crop issue corrected itself. Thank you very much for your response. It worked!

Rotate and edit videos

Im searching for a good app to rotate and edit videos I've taken. Im affraid to purchase any of them I get in search. imove and rotate HD came up. I go upon the rating but looking at them it seems the developers of those apps rate them to make them look better. When I actually read and research the apps they arent that great and have a lot of flaws. I dont want to waist the time and money. From the looks of it all Apple doesnt test these apps thoroughly, which is ashame. Does anyone have any real suggestions?

Rediculous comment, even from a Windows user.
For an Apple user this is easy, as described below. For Windows please ask the question on a Microsoft forum.
You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:
http://geethree.com/slick/index.html

Running AppleScript with Adobe Acrobat to rotate and crop file.

I constantly receive PDF files from a third party service provider that I always have to ROTATE and CROP in order to fit perfectly into labels that are perforated.
The Label sheets are 8-up (2 x 4). If I print it as is, they DON'T fall where they supposed to. I can't get the trird party service provider to alter the way they supply the PDF files (they just not helpful). I thought it is still easier for me to do the neccesary adjustments.
What I want to do is:
(1) rotate the document (multi-page PDF) 180 deg
(2) crop leading edge 3mm.
(3) if possible, I want it to be able to watch a folder and do this automatically as PDFs are dropped into a defined folder (can be set permananetly) and save OVER the old file.
I know AppleScript can do this (I think), but I don't have the expertise on AppleScript to write the commands.
Can anyone help?
I am using Mountain Lion & Acrobat 8.

Thanks for the reply. I can still open the file in excel and I understand that I can redirect the file to open in another program. But it doesn't solve my problem that when I email the file to someone else it tries to open the file as a pdf (which it basically isn't) and gives the error message that its an unsupported file type. What I am really looking for is a way to stop it from saving an excel file as an adobe file even when I choose the file format as an excel workbook when I save it.

Cs3 straighten and crop , is there a way like cs5?

Hi
on my laptop i run xp adn photoshop cs3 normal (not extended)
what i miss is a good straighten and crop like cs5
in cs3 i use the ruler tool ->rotate canvas -> arbitrary
and i my photo is straight but with big borders around the photo
now cs5 does a great job
but photoshop cs3 no
there is the scipt straighten and crop photos but in this case doesn't do a great job
because delete the borders and my photo returns to be awry
ok i can crop manually , but it's exhausting if i have to work on some photos , one by one
is there a script/action/tips or plugin that can do the same great cs5 job?
thanks
cheers

This sets the rulerunits to Pixels then when finished resets them back to what they were....

Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place. Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0. The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
But I can do it in the crop box, right? True -- but not easily. The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait. With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor. To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments. A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle. I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box. (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
We rotate a lot of images. It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward. The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow. I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box. (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box? We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active. But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation. Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box. I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film. All frames get scanned with the same orientation. I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario. Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise. But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

Rotating and cropping an image.

I am taking a Photoshop for school and we are using CS5. I have CS6 and I'm stuck on my picture rotating back straight when I am trying to crop it. I use the rotate view and rotate it 6degrees. As soon as I hit the crop button the picture goes straight. How can I keep my picture rotated to the 6degrees and crop it without the perspective crop tool?

Rotate view only rotates... the view; not the actual picture. It's temporary and non-destructive. It's used to help move the canvas to a better angle for drawing brush strokes.
You want to actually rotate the image or canvas. Either Ctrl T for Free Transform and rotate by moving the cursor outside one of the corners and dragging. Or Edit > Transform > Rotate

Rotating and cropping, then rotating back again

I need to crop my clip that I made in the vertical orientation. I needed to crop out the top and bottom areas, so I rotated the clip to the horizontal position. I was able to crop out the parts I needed. My question now is, is it possible to rotate it back to the original orientation (vertical) with my saved cropping? I haven't been able to figure out if I can do that.

Correct, becasue Crop takes away from the edges only. Scale is the physical size of the clip.

Rotating and Cropping Question ??

Sometimes I have to straighten up a photo by rotating it like .1 degrees, and then when I try to crop the little sliver off the side it is a pain to get the crop marks just right. I there an easy way to crop out the new image while keeping as much of it as possible?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you.

what Buko says,
but you can crop+rotate+change resolution up-sampling (adding more pixels) with no problem.
But crop+rotate+change resolution down-sampling (reducing the number of pixels) you can get some pretty bad image distortion.

FCP-How do I rotate and crop a tilted clip?

Hi, I have a clip that was shot slightly off; it's a little crooked and needs to be straightened.... I can rotate it by 2 and it looks perfect, and then I can zoom in by 110 and get rid of excess. When I add the clip it is stretched and doesn't come out like it does in the slug.
How can I crop it like I want in the slug and add it to the timeline w/o it being stretched and wrong???
I'd even settle for masking the outside (like by putting a thick border all around) in order to alleviate the need to crop in but still mask the now crooked edges.
Any help would be really appreciated.

oop... Conform To Settings fixed that right up.........

How can i rotate and crop a lot of images (tiff) automatically?

I have over 5000 images scanned.
How can i tranform this image
in this image?

Adding to csuebele’s advice: Automating saving the resulting files from Crop and Straighten has come up before.

Rotate and crop

I'm trying to straighten out some footage. I used the rotate tool in the "motion" tab to turn the image so it's straight. Now I assume I can use the crop tool to reframe the image, removing unwanted black areas. How do I do that?

John,
Now you use the scale parameter to zoom in slightly in order to get rid of the black areas.

Aperture's Straighten and Crop vs. iPhoto's

Hello, I know that when using iPhoto to straighten a pic that it ZOOMS then crops the pic to eliminate the black triangles that would be left behind from the rotation. This zooming is unacceptable for me, as it degrades the pictures (12MP digi cam) just enough for me to see it. I imagine that this is a function of trying to rotate, and crop out the black while keeping the pic the same size (which would require the zoom). I have seen that Aperture straightens and 'crops' but when it auto crops, does it ALSO try to keep the image the same size (which would lead to another zoom situation)? I would just like to find a tool that can straighten, and if need be, cut my image size from 4000x3000 to 3500x2500, versus keeping the 4000x3000 and being slightly blurred. If the camera were garbage and the images were slightly blurred to begin with, then maybe it wouldn't be so noticeable, but my Canon takes really sharp pics and any blur really sticks out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, iPhoto does the same thing, as far as the pixel count being reduced. I suppose that's just from cropping out the black triangles. However, I just realized that I am an idiot... I exported an original file, then exported a straightened file, and the two resulting files aren't very different... The altered file isn't noticeably any more blurry than the original, it must have been just how it looked in iPhoto's preview window. That's odd... I was getting a little concerned that all of my straightened photos were going to look like garbage when I export them. All seems well... Thanks!

I took all my video with my iPhone turned the wrong way. When I view it on my pc it's turned on its side. How can I rotate the video and crop it?

Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?
