Help! Trying to change frame size of project/sequence

I have tried everything I can to change my project's frame size to 320 x 240 from 720 x 480--modifying sequence settings (nowhere to change size, just "timeline options" and "render control" tabs), clicking on the sequence's frame size in the browser (even with option and command), going into user preferences, system preferences, item properties, project properties without any dialog box that will help me make the change. I checked off "Prompt for seeings on New Project/Sequence" in User Preferences, but it only gives me a pop-up menu with the Easy Setup options. What's happening? This is taking me forever to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bob,
Why do you want a project at 640 X 480 ? You will not be able to print it to your camcorder.
Just put those values in quicktime conversion box, and your exported movie will has this frame size.
May be the confusion become from the aspect ratio of pixel...
DV pixel are displayed "as square pixels" in Final Cut Express, if you uncheck this option in viewer, you will get a horizontal squashed image.
That's because TV set do not handle pixel like computer monitor and your camcorder record it with this aspect.
So don't be concern with the 720 or 640 question: just export your movie using quicktime conversion set to 640X480 for viewing on computer (like I suggest earlier) or simply "print to tape" from FCE to your camcorder (with stretched pixel for TV monitoring).

  • 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?

    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.

  • Successfully changing frame size of footage shot portrait on iphone4

    ive been fighting the iphone embedded orientation lock for shot footage.
    i have a clip i hit record at the beginnin gthe the phone didn't realize i was recording it widescreen (landscape).
    i tried rotating in final cut, but since the frame size is 720x1080 and not 1080x720 after the footage has been rotated the original size of the frame is naturally cropped it.
    i transcoded the orig clip in compressor to the correct frame size, but it's now squeezed.
    how can i get this clip to be 1080x720 non anamorphic?

    You can't add what's not there...
    You will have to scale up the video to the width of your canvas... being that the original source is not really a decent camera (and you wouldn't want to do this with a decent camera either), your resulting video will look fuzzy and/or pixelated...
    Or you can also change your sequence settings to SD (720 x 486)... but it all depends what is the end use of this video...

  • How to Change Frame Size in FCE 2

    Hi,
    I'm very new to this video stuff. Is there a way to change the frame size in FCE 2? When creating a new project there are different options for the type of video but there does not appear to be a way to change the frame size from 720 x 480. I would like to use a different frame size.
    Thanks!!

    FCP can. What size is the material and where is it coming from?
    The material is 360 x 243, it is a .mov file from a SVHS transfer. Is 360 x 243 a standard size for an SVHS transfer? I expected the frame to be 640x480.

  • Is there a way to change the frame size in a sequence?

    I'm using Final Cut Pro 4 and I've looked through help and through the threads in this forum and I haven't found anything that really relates to my problem. I have edited 3 videos. One is 352x288 and the other 2 are 320x240. Is there a way I can change the first video to 320x240 so it will match up with the others?
    Also, if a video is in widescreen, can it be changed to fullscreen?
    Any help would be extremely useful to me! Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    Try to use Quicktime Pro. When you export your file with Quicktime Pro, you can use Movie to Quicktime Movie Settings in the save as menue and change the size easy.
    Regarding wide screen to full sscreen. You have to zoom in and loose left and right. This you can do in FCP and export then. But you loose quality.

  • Changing Frame Size in MPEG2

    I'm using compressor to change less than stellar VHS video to MPEG2. I see that compressor has an option for frame size, but its ghosted out for MPEG2, can this be overridden in any manner? MPEG2 can be resized to LoRes MPEG2, with other programs, to 352x240 which is VHS quality and would make the video look generally better on a TV.

    MPEG-2 (or MPEG-1) output file frame size can't be altered in Compressor. Sorry.

  • Changing frame size in avi

    I'm editing a number of clips (different sizes) and I to save all of them in the same size. When importing I could only convert all their sizes to the projects size (which I couldn't change). When exporting, the feature enabling saving in a different size was disabled.
    I used the scaling option, but then the movies are saved in the same size, only with a black background. Is there any way to actually set the movies to the size I want?
    The clips are AVIs (could it be a codec issue?)
    The operating system is windows XP
    I'm using Adobe Premiere CS3
    If it is not possible to save the movie with smaller dimensions - is there at least a way to determine the background color?
    Thanks,
    Aya

    Thanks! The GSpot looks like a good program to have
    The codec is MP42 (S-Mpeg 4 version 2)
    And the initial settings are the default ones - DV-PAL 48kHz
    What I would really like to do is to crop (and resize) the videos, then save them all in the same size (smaller than the default 720x576), without a black background. Is it possible?
    Thanks!

  • Resize of picture changes frame size

    Hi,
    I put an 8 point stroke around my photos and if I resize by using command option shift while draging the corner the stroke changes too.
    This is a new behavior for me and I am not sure of the terms to use to look it up in help. How do I resize without changing the stroke weight?
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    Where specifically in the upper control panel?
    I'm assuming you mean the lower of the two upper control panels?
    So, in the upper control panel there is a button that says "?" click that exact particular button and the window that says Stroke Styles will open.
    Alternatively, please tell me what terms to use to look up "Stroke Styles" in help.
    Thanks,
    Garrett

  • Changing Frame Size in MPEG_Streamclip for FC

    I have a 4 cameras shoot with 3 cameras filming in PAL at 1920x1080 interlaced, and a different 4th camera filming at 1440x1080 interlaced.  I'm trying to convert the 4th camera to match the others, and do a Multiclip editing.  So I used MPEG Streamclip for conversion and opened a Destination Folder.  But when I imported the 1920x1080 converted files from that folder into my project they were 1440x1080 !  Does anybody have a solution please?  Thank you in advance.

  • What settings are needed for Flip 4 Mac to change frame size?

    I just installed Flip 4 Mac Studio Pro so that I can make wmv files in different sizes. It works in 340x240 and 480x360, but freezes up when I choose the preset 384x288. Are there other settings that need to be changed to make this work. I thought this version of Flip would allow me to do most anything.
    I'm exporting a short 4 min sequence from FCP using Quicktime conversion.

    This will give you the instructions on how to set it up step by step.

  • Help - trying to change SSID and password

    I would like to change my Verizon Fios network name and password from the factory settings but I am experiencing the following problem:
    Keep in mind that I have a Dell laptop.
    1. I go into the Verizon Online portal to change the settings, and successfully enter the new SSID in the box and click "Apply" (not the problem)
    2. Then, my wireless network disconnects. The name changes to what I just entered in the list of available networks, but there is a red "X" next to it and I am unable to connect. The message says that the settings entered do not match those configured for the network.
    It seems like my computer refuses to accept the new network name and password, so even though I am able to change the network name and password, the computer is remembering the old and will not connect to the new.
    Any suggestions?

    sound like your stored password is wrong
    for win 7
    Open Network and Sharing Center.
    In the Tasks pane, click Manage wireless networks.
    Right-click the connection you want to delete, and then click Remove network.
    In the Manage Wireless Networks - Warning dialog box, click OK.
    for win 8
    In the list of availble networks, right click on the network and select forget this network.
    Then reconnect to network. You will be prompted for the password.

    Hello everybody,
    could someone explain to me why the content in this frame:

              getContentPane().setLayout(null);
              final JLabel newAppletLabel = new JLabel();

              newFrameLabel.setBounds(10, 10, 50, 58);
              getContentPane().add(newAppletLabel);
         }when invoked like this (in a JApplet):
    PHPTableReport pHPTFrame =  new PHPTableReport();
    pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
    pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);only displays after dragging the window/frame bigger or smaller?
    Thanks in advance again

    Change this :
    pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
    pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);To:
    pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);
    pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
