Export Custom Video Size from FCE

Hi all, Happy Holidays!!
I'm A DJ and I have footage of events that I have edited and want to use on various pages of my website. I want to resize or "crop" the video and eventually render it as FlashVideo. I want it similar to a "banner size" you would see as ads on webpages. Possible? I was trying to do this by exporting from FCE in QT Pro but it wasn't cropping, it was just stretching...
Any help would be great..Jeff

OK. So i found a cropping tutorial using QT Pro on YouTube.
1. I first used the cropping in the Motion Tab within FCE.
2. I exported that movie,
3. Opened it up in QT Pro.
4. Took a snapshot of the movie.
5. Opened the snapshot into Photoshop to make a matte.
6. Went back into QT Pro. Opened the "Show Movie Properties" window and selected the 'Video Track' tab/ 'Visual Settings'.
7. Added the matte in the 'Mask window' and it worked great.
Thanks for the help on both sides.....Jeff.

Custom Video Size

I'm new to FCE and I'm stuck on something that is so simple to do in older products like Premiere: I wish to use a custom video size. I have footage captured years ago at 768x576 which I'd like to work with at that resolution, and I've also a need to work at 128x128@15fps. I don't want to go back to Premiere on OS 9 (which does the job with a few clicks) and I don't want to pay the extra for FCP. Is it not possible just to edit the FCE's presets?
Thanks,
Carl

No, it is not. FCE is a fixed resolution editing application. It only works in DV nd HDV size formats and frame rates.

Custom video sizes?

Where can I enter a custom frame size for a video project? I often work at non-standard aspect ratios (9x16, 32x9, etc.) Does FCPX support custom video sizes?

Oops, disregard. It's been asked many times. Here is one answer:

How to copy/export a video clip from event library to external hard drive?

Can you help? Can you export a video clip from the iMovie Event library to a hard drive

You can "daisy chain" FireWire devices. Plug your IF into the Mbook, and plug your external disk into the IF (it has two ports...), or do it the other way around, whatever seems to work best.
The whole chain will be as fast as your slowest device, and I think the FPod is FW 400, so the disk will also operate at that speed. Many people work like this on their laptops, and it works fine. Better than USB.
Don't use USB for it. USB needs CPU and is in general less efficient in handling audio. Daisychaining FW-devices is the way to go.

Exporting music/video&pics from touch to new computer

Hi all! I'm wondering if it is possible to export music/video/pigs from my touch into a new computer/empty iTunes? Is it? If so, how? I did back up but has been awhile and will lose some new video though all I'll do is get the file and convert it again. Am just curious if this is possible. Thank you and happy Easter!

How can I export trimmed video clips from iPhoto?

I have video clips from a kid's sporting event that I need to send to other parents on the team. I've got 73 clips that have been loaded from an SD card, and I've trimmed the length on about half of them.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to export them from iPhoto. When I select 'Original', I get the full-size files, but they're not trimmed. I can drag and drop the clips from iPhoto to a folder, and I do get files that are trimmed correctly, but they're very small (around 12K), so I'm guessing that they link to files on my own hard drive, and won't work if I send them to somebody else.
I am guessing that I could fix the problem manually by making a list of videos that I trimmed, opening each one of the 12K files files in QT Player, and saving that movie. This creates a full-size movie file which is the right file size for the trimmed portion. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this in a single batch operation. Is there a solution for this?

You can't. Trimming inside iPhoto stays inside iPhoto. (Does that have a familiar ring to it?) All trimming must be done outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player. So export the clips to a folder on the Desktop and do the trimming there.

Export a short clip from FCE to mail and send as Email attachment

I have been trying to export short clips from FCE to mail. I have been getting as far as saving it as an attachment to an Email.
I have not been able to successfully deliver it to somebody. Is that a problem with my server or are my settings or the format I am using to send it incorrect ? What are the best and safest settings to choose from so the email goes through ?
I have send video clips directly from Quicktime files. Its working well and fast with no delivery problems. What am I doing wrong with FCE exports to mail ?

well it may not be how your exportinging it. what you need to find out is how big of a file will you service provider let you send. your file may be over the limit, so all you need to do is compress it even smaller. when i send a clip i don't use the mail setting i just compress it my self as small as i can. my provider will only let me send up to 10Mb files only.

What's the best export format for television from FCE?

Hi,
I'm working in HD in FCE and need to export a short (40-sec) clip for the local cable station. To get the highest quality, I exported as a QuickTime Movie (self-contained), and burned a CD copy of the file and hand delivered it to them. Unfortunately, they couldn't open it (they said there were codec problems). So, I need to do it differently. I've been experimenting, and thus far it seems best if I do this:
Export to QuickTime Conversion
Settings: QuickTime Movie, compress with MPEG-4 Video, keyframe rate = 24, bitrate = 5000 kbps, dimensions 1280x720.
The result is "okay", but that's all. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get a television-quality clip out of FCE (using QuickTime Conversion)?
Thanks!
Vic

I should've been a little more detailed...
The cable station broadcasts ads for real estate agents. Hence, they use mostly still images. Lately, they are getting a little more into full-motion video. The two guys that run that division are not exactly video savvy. For that matter, neither am I. I do videos for the web (real estate videos). I want to promote my service to other agents, so would like to show some short sample clips on TV to attract attention and draw new business. Previously, I e-mailed Flash video to the cable station and it worked fairly well; but, as you can imagine it was far from television quality (it was jittery and pixelated). They tell me that they use MPEG-2 format to broadcast their video clips. FCE won't allow me to export that format. They tell me that, if I bring them some other format, they can convert. As I mentioned, I burned QuickTime format clips (about a half gig each) to a CD and brought those to them. They were unable to open the files. Now, I'm lost. I'm wondering if there's a format I can output from FCE that will be of high enough quality. The guys at the cable station suggested .avi, but isn't that a web format?
Any output formats/parameters you can think of that might work for me?
Thanks very much!

Help Exporting Embedded Video Files From Flash

I am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.

Is there a reason why you embedded the video in Flash rather than using the FLV player?
Starting with the video, since you have the source you can create any type of format you need from that which can be used for preview or the final version depending on where it's going to end up and what is required or preferred. Flash comes into play if the requirement is to have a SWF/FLV other than some other video format, or if you have other Flash content going on at the same time besides the video.
But using Flash for this, the most stratghtforward way is to use the FLV player included with Flash (or another 3rd party player) and point it to your FLV.

Export Customized Information Attributes from EP6 to EP7

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to migrate User Admin customized information fields from EP6 SP17 to 7 EhP1 SP7? The standard portal user export functionality only collects the standard fields and ignores the custom attributes.
Does anyone have an idea on how this task can be achieved???
Thanks,
Bim.

No longer a requirement, thanks.

Custom Video Player from Adobe Photoshop to Catalyst

I create a video player in Photoshop (a .psd file, obviusly) and I want to make it work in Flash Catalyst without using the standart skin o' video player from there. It's possible?
if so, how would the procedure? Something very complicated?
Thank you.
@eldermarx

Hi there,
You can't skin the video player the way you can skin wireframe components like a button or data list. However, you can create a custom component that contains your video, and several buttons that control playback using Catalyst interactions.
You would place your video in the artboard, set its controls to "No Chrome", and then add your play, pause, and stop buttons. You'd need to wire up interactions to these buttons to play, pause, and stop the video.

Printing to PDF (custom page size) from AutoCAD Won't Work Anymore

The DWG to PDF driver provided with AutoCAD 2013 will not save my artwork to a high enough resolution for me to use. See attached screen shots of the PDF's printed by AutoCAD's DWG to PDF driver.
The only PDF print driver that I have found that will is the Adobe PDF driver provided with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software. See attached screen shot of the PDF printed by the Adobe PDF driver. HOWEVER, I can only print to a standard paper size and I MUST print to a custom page size. When I try printing to a custom page size it will no longer let me save the PDF. It simply skips the save window. It used to work fine up until this past week, but when I came into work on Monday morning it stopped working. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work now!
DWG to PDF set to Maximum Quality (400 DPI)
DWG to PDF set to Custom 1200DPI
Adobe PDF set to Custom 4000DPI

Try opening the DWG file in AutoCAD 2013 and changing its file format to an older version of Autocad (i.e, 2010/2011/2012).

Export to Flash how to adjust the video size from 640 to 320

Is there a way to change the size of the Flash video when exporting from Encore? The only setting I see is the quality drop down from low to ultra. Even on low it exports as a 640 by 480 video. Is there a way to change it to 320 by 240? Or is it determined by the size of the mpegs?
TIA
Dirk

Actually I have been playing around with this stuff today, here is what you do:
After you create the flash file with your index.html and swf and ect you can go into the HTML file and change the setting from 640x40 to 320x240. You can also create skins and stuff in there too using your HTML editor or manually playing with it yourself in Notepad like I do.
