How can effectively I mix a 4:3 video in a 16:9 video project (Widescreen)?

I have captured a marriage with 2 cameras. A widescreen camera and a trraditional 4:3 one.
Most of the Video is captured with the widescreen camera but there is a small part (20%) taken with the old camera.
I want to put that 20% of 4:3 video in a project created for the widescreen camera. I came up with the following methods:
1. Change the aspect of the 4:3 in 16:9 (but I will be coming up with a distorded video)
2.Zooming the 4:3 Video until it covers the whole 16:9 screen (but I'm gonna loose the upper and the lower part of the video)
Both methods have diffects. Is there any other method?
P.S.
How can I realize the 1st method? Is somewhere an option for changing the aspect in the video effects?
Thank you

They do this thing in television shows now and then. Use two copies of the 4:3 video. Make one full screen by zooming in, and then put a hefty blur on it. Then center the 4:3 clean image in the 16:9 frame.
If you do it often enough, it will look like you are doing it because you want to make an artistic point.

How can i recognize mixed format of text?

Mission:

Thanks.

When you have a text reference, check to see how many textStyleRanges it has. If more than one, you have mixed formatting. Check the style of each textStyleRange.

How can I get QT Pro 7 to blur a portion of my video

Trying to make a video of a rack install on a Jeep. I need to blur the license plate. I tried adding text but it seems to be anchored to the top left of the screen. How can I move the text where I want?
--- or ---
How can I blur out the license plate?
--- OR ---
How can I just add a subtitle to the video near the middle bottom of the video so it obscured the plate?
Whew~!

After you've added the new track (text or image) you can adjust its dimensions and "offset".
Default offset value is 0,0 (upper left corner). You can change these values in the Movie Properties window.
Open the file and then open the Movie properties window. Single click on the video track and you'll notice the tabs in the lower half of the window will change names. Click the "Visual Settings" tab and enter new values for the dimensions (if needed) and the offset to position the new track where you want it.

Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

How can i get difference in base plan and actual/current plan for a project

Hi PS Experts,
How can i get difference in base plan and actual plan .
For example-
Project1 is created for 10 days (start and end date difference).
Now in between -project is extended/changed for 12 days .
What is the way to get 2 days as a difference in base plan and current plan.
Thanks
Suraj prakash

Hi Suraj,
You can follow a convention that -
(1) Forecast Start/Finish dates: Used only for Primary planning, once initial planning is done you should not change these dates.
Now, you will copy the same dates in Basic Start/Finish dates also.
(2) Basic Start/Finish dates: Whatever changes are done after the initial planning, you will make the changes only in Basic Start/Finish dates.
So, in Project Planning board, if you enable Forecast and Basic dates with different color coding, you can clearly see the variation in the Project schedule.
Hope this helps.

HT2729 How can I maintain folder structure when copying more than 1 folder of videos to the iphone?

Spent hours trying to figure this out - no luck!
I have a video tutorial course that I would like to be able to view on my iPhone, the only problem is that it is broken down into 6 folders - 1 for each subject.
And if I add the whole course to be synced via iTunes it gets copied ok. But it loses the original folder names that the files are stored in on my PC
ALL the videos files copied to the iPhone are bunched togeather in the Video app and it takes forever to figure out which one comes next.
How can I maintain the original folder names/structure that the files are stored in on my PC on the iPhone?

To follow how I solved this it might be good to know what I started with:
I have a main folder which I called 'Music Theory' and 6 sub-folders: 101, 102, 103, ....etc.
with up to 20 or so videos in each one.
Note: Only import one sub-folder at a time into iTunes and then do all the following actions BEFORE importing the next sub-folder:
Add only 1 sub-folder to the 'Films' section in iTunes (either drag and drop or use the File - Add Folder to Library).
Select all the imported videos (hold down the Ctrl + A keys on the keyboard simultainiously).
Right click and select 'Get Info'
Then you may get a pop-up with this text but just click the 'Yes' button:
You should now have the 'Multiple Item Information' window showing. Click on the 'Options' tab and edit as below:
Tick: 'Media Kind'              and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'TV Programme'
Tick: 'Part of a Compilation' and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Tick: 'Remember Position'        and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Now click on the 'Video' Tab of the 'Multiple Item Information' window and edit:
The 'Programme' text field (I entered Music Theory) This will be the main heading for all the folders that I want to add to this series.
The 'Series' text field (I entered 101 for the first sub-folder)
Now click the 'OK' button.
iTunes now starts processing all you have done and moves the vildeos to the 'TV Progammes' section.
The first part is now done!
Now you should repeat all the actions you have done from the start on each sub-folder you want to include in this Video collection, then when you've done that you can upload the lot to your device (iPhone in my case) with this last step:
All you need to do now is select your device under 'Devices' in the left hand menu and tick the 'Sync TV Progammes' box in the 'TV Progammes' section and select the series that you want include in the right hand area. And then click 'Apply' and now your done!!!    :-)

How can I display Task's "Resent Changes" or "Updates" or "History" in the project site

Hello,
When a task is assigned to a team member, the team member may keep sending frequent updates "Status" for the task to the approving whenever he finishes anything in the task. These updates can be shown in the Task Details (in PWA).
My question is, how can I display the Task's "Resent Changes" or "Updates" or "History" in the project site, so ALL the team member can see the "Progress" of that task?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm not sure it is relevant that all team members see all task updates through the project site. It will be a lot of information that might not be relevant and could generate confusion.
Instead of this, I'd suggest to share the project schedule through the project site with regular baselines and eventually to review task update/approval with team members in PWA during a weekly status meeting.
Hope this helps,

How can I see the path from the preview file (*.prel) to my video files ?

Because a lack of hard disk space I have moved my video files to another drive and therefore unfortunately destroyed the relative connection to the preview file (*.prel).
Therefore the videos are not to be seen in the preview file any more.
How can I get information about the relative path between the preview file and the place for the original video files so I can get those back in the original position ?
or:
It may be possible to change the path for every clip in my preview file - but how ?
I can read answers in English, German or Danish.

What version of Premiere Elements on what computer operating system?
Generalizing for now...
If you know where the files are by actually seeing them in their hard drive save location and you are getting "Where is the file ______?" messages, then you use those
messages to reconnect the source media to the project. Are you getting those messages and have you tried for the reconnects that way?
If edits are involved in the files that have become disconnected to the project, you can also consider the program's Replace Footage feature.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Replace Footage
Typically either of these ways is one at a time reconnects. With the "Where is the file _____?" message way sometimes you get lucky (depends on the circumstances) and more
than one file at a time might reconnect.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
