End video size

hi,
i want to use imovie for some basic editting and rendering.
i have a load of mov's, captured using snapz pro x at 720x480 that i simply want to import, cut bits out, and export as one file for use in idvd.
i have 2 questions...
1. is there a way, in imovie, to change the end video size? im using 720x480 source files, and when i export as a movie it either crams it into a 640x480, or letterboxes it. i just want the output size to stay the same as the input size (720x480). if not, whats the optimum size people use for tv viewing?
2. the content of my video is pretty intricate. its got a feint grey box in the middle of the screen, which the video plays in (screen in screen basically).
assuming that imovie will only give me 640x480 output, i cropped the clips to 640x480, inputted them, pieced them together, and outputed them. imovie gives me the right size, but really messes up the video. the grey line is blurred and not visible at the bottom, and the moving images themselves look awful.
all i want is to export a video that has the same properties (size, resolution etc) as the input files!
if screen grabs would help, i can put some up.
thanks in advance

yes, i've had varied success with transferring screen grabs to tv. problem is, its the only option - im using a moving image enivronment (pure data) and the only way to save the video you create is through snapz (well, theres no way of saving it within the software).
one way i will try is to video out from the laptop into a tv and record with a dvd recorder, see if that helps.
i think its trial and error with the captures. the 720x480 looked pretty good, but the refresh rate was out and it flickered a fair bit. the refresh rate was better on 640x480, but it didnt look as good.
thanks for the advice

TS3899 When's ending videos from the camera via email, they go to the out box. How do I successfully send them. I used to be able to do so but not for some time.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Rendering .flv with cue points but maintaining video size

When I render an .flv by exporting in After Effects I cannot get cue points however when I import the .flv to a Flash doc, the controller is the same width as the video.
However, in order to get cue points, you have to add the video to the Render Queue in AE in order to see the cue points in Flash. But the video controller ends up wider than the video itself when imported to Flash.
My video is 495 wide by 360 high. When I render in AE in the Render Queue, and then import to a Flash doc, the video controller is about 30 pixels wider on both the left and right of the video. This looks goofy. Is their a way to resolve this?
Thank you.

Thank you for responding. I tried to but what happens is that that there is about 15 pixels of black space on the left and 15 pixels on the right side of he video. This does not happen when I export to Flash, only when I add to the Render Queue.
So If I adjust the video size in Flash, the video size changes however the black space still remains. Somehow AE is creating extra space black space on both sides of the .flv. Again, this does not happen when export to .flv.

Using a function to change Netstream video size.

Hi folks,
forgive me I am new to script in Flex. I got an Application that has two scripted functions. The first is called at creationComplete and sets up a netconnect/netstream video playback. And a second that is fired when a button is clicked, which sets the application to Full Screen. What I want to do is resize the video at the same time. For testing purpose I am using hard coded values that match my monitor size.
The problem I am having is that the code I wrote to change the video size spits out an error "1120: Access of undefined property vid." - Is it possible to have one function access the vairibles of another function?
My code:
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function initApp():void
                var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
                nc.connect(null);
                var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
                ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
                ns.addEventListener(DRMAuthenticateEvent.DRM_AUTHENTICATE, DRMAuthHandler);
                ns.play("gm.f4v");
                function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void
                    // ignore error
                var vid:Video = new Video();
                vid.attachNetStream(ns);
                vidUI.addChild(vid);
                vid.width=851;
                vid.height=480;
                function DRMAuthHandler(event:DRMAuthenticateEvent):void
                    ns.setDRMAuthenticationCredentials("test","test","drm");
            public function goFull():void
                stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
                vid.width=1920;
                vid.height=1080;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
I want the function goFull to change the video size that is loaded from the initApp function.... possible?
Cheers!

Out of range output video size ?

Hello,
I would like to use a camera which has a large output size, more than 1920x1080.
When I select the camera, I've a message :
Out of range output video size
One or more output video width and height are out of range. Please provide video size in range 80x60 to 1920x1080.
Is it a limitation of FMLE or FMS ? (I think it's FMLE because the message appears even if the "save to file" is the only publishing format selected)
Is there a way to edit a confugration file to remove this limit ?
Best regards,

why don't you change that background to what you want in desktop system preferences when the second monitor is connected? different monitors have different desktop backgrounds and they remember the settings from the last time they were connected.

Editing video in native video sizes - Premiere CS3/CS4

How do I edit with non-specific video sizes such as 640x360 which my still camera captures video to? Everything in Prem CS3 or CS4 seems to be preset editting size environments? I would like to edit the video in it's native resolution and output in it's native resolution.
Thanks in advance...............

========
That is what my feeble memory is telling me too: CS3 was per Project, and the "Custom" was called Desktop Mode, where the attributes could be altered to suit
========
thats how it works with my cs3... and as you need to match the source in that desktop mode ( and even choose a rendering codec )..its a good idea to use mediainfo or gspot and make notes about video and audio as necessary so that when you 'duplicate' that in the desktop ( custom ) settings you get the right project settings.

Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube. I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube. There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove. I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video. Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720. I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock. I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length. I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size! iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media. Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.

How do you increase the video size with a button?

I'm trying to set up a demo for a meeting. I want to show how
you can increase the size of the video.
Example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1532523169750528353
There are two buttons in the bottom right corner of the
player that will increase the video size.

I havn't tried this but I would thinkg that this could work:
If you have a video object on your stage (the object that the video
actually plays in) you could probably make a button that simply
changes the dimensions of it such as:
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_height, 240);
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_width, 320);
The movie should adjust to fit the screen, however if you
make the movie larger than or a different aspect ratio than the
original, it will be blurred or distorted respectively. Make your
original movie, therefore, at the largest size you want it to be
seen. Keep the aspect ration the same always.

HELP ! Need to change video size in project sequence...

When creating a project last month I accidently created it as 1280x960 in the sequence settings, but meant to create it as a 1920x1080 which is what all the video clips are in size. Now I have this nicely edited project but need to convert it to a 1920x1080 in the sequence settings so I can export it as that size. When I go into the sequence settings now this option is grayed out and it won't let me. I have read many forums and they say it’s as simple as creating a new sequence with the right settings and importing the old sequence but when I do this it is still as 1280x960. So my question is other than re-editing this entire project, how can I take this current project with sequence settings as 1280x960 and change the video size to 1920x1080 (Which is what the video clips are originally and when I right click on the individual videos it says 1920x1080). PLEASE help, I am using PP CS5 !!! This is so frustrating !

Create a new Sequence with the settings you prefer,
then Copy > Paste the clips into the new Sequence.
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?
http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/how-do-i-choose-the-right-sequence-settings
note:
You may need to re-create audio effects that you applied in the Mixer
in the first Sequence, or you can use your first Sequence as a mixed,
nested audio track for the new properly configured Sequence.

IBook Author of the video size

I would like to know what's best way to set up iBook Author of the video size and format file for all ipad devices including ipad air.
I already knew about this part:
   •    To create up to a 420p movie: Select “iPod touch & iPhone 3GS.”
   •    To create up to a 720p movie: Select “iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV.”
   •    The numbers refer to the number of vertical lines. For the best quality, select the 720p (iPad) option
I wonder if I can set up the aspect ratios like 4:3 frame (small video of box with story) in iBook Author for ipad air to be able to see this on full screen from iBook shelf. I have ipad and ipad mini but I don't have ipad air. I wonder if it will have good quality video like 4:3 ratio for ipad air screen with Retina display? Since Apple support didn't provide enough details how the overall video would look like on screen without stretching or using proper proportions.
Thanks,
Alfredo

If you create a 1024x768 video, you will be making the fullest possible use of screen real estate on a non-retina iPad (no letter boxing or pillars needed). Double that to 2048x1536 for retina.
Having said that, I should point out that the dynamic duo of iOS and the iPad;s video firmware provide some of the best scaling routines I have seen. So 1024x768 video on a retina iPad will look just fine. With moving pictures, high resolution doesn't return as much benefit as it does with static images.
It would be interesting to see what the video optimizer in iBooks Author does with 2048x1536 video. To find out, we'll need to use iBooks Author to create project file that includes a 2048x1537 video and then export as *ibooks and deconstruct that *.ibooks file.

How to change export video size settings?

I just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
I am trying to export my 1080P content as a 720P file, something that was very easy on the basic iMovie setup.
I noticed when I tried to export to Vimeo I was given options for file quality and video size.
Where do I find those options if I am doing an export to a file as opposed a direct Vimeo upload (i.e. Quicktime)?
Please don't tell me I have to buy Compressor for this...
Thank you!

Share>Export Using Compressor Settings>Apple>Apple Devices>HD for Apple Devices (10mbps)
This will give 1280x720 HD
I don't think you need Compressor as the Compressor Settings are included in FCP X . . . I hope!

Maximum Video Size in Flash??

Hello,
I'm currently working on a website design. The idea is a big chromakeyed interactive video in Flash. The size of the video is 1080 (width) x 1500 (height) pixels.
I've exported the video in After Effects with the standard settings for flash (File>Export>Adobe Flash Player(SWF)). Now when I import the video in Flash and preview the file, the video plays in a slower speed and it's not playing smooth at all...
Is the video too big? Is there a maximum video-size to keep the video running correct in Flash? Is it something else that causes this problem..???
I hope one of you guys can help me with this, hope to hear from you soon!

Could be a mismatch of frame rates. For example, if you are using 30 fps in AE and 24 in Flash, and then you embed the video into the time line, it will play at 24 fps, slow and jerky.
However if the video file was a .flv and you played the video by NetStream or FLVPlayback, it would playback at 30 fps, even if the Flash doc had a fps of 24.
If that doesn't fix it, try exporting the file from AE as an flv.
Best wishes,

Editing non standard video sizes

Hello everyone.
I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format. All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects. So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size. Surely there is a way of doing this?
Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not? You must be able somehow to do your own size?
Thanks

Thank you for replying.
Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web. Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size. I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

End video size
