How do I change a movie's size without scaling it?

I have a movie in 960x540 resolution but the subject of the movie takes up a vertical area of about 400x540 in the center of the frame. The rest of the space to the left and right is just wasted white space. I would like to remove that wasted space and just have a 400x540 movie.
I've tried looking in the Visual Settings tab for the Video Track and playing with the numbers there, but it just scales the whole frame. I was hoping the Offset numbers would do the trick, so I could enter something like: Scaled Size 400x540 and Offset: 280x0. As far as i can tell, the Offset numbers don't do anything at all. It doesn't even appear in the User Guide or the Help documentation.
Can anyone suggest how I can trim off that wasted space on the left and right side of my movie? If QuickTime Pro isn't the right software for the job, I'm open to other options!
Thanks!

iMove I believe crops & scales movies. Try the iMovie forums.

  • With iMovie 10 how do I change the movie file size and type.

    I have recently upgraded to iMovie 10. It takes some getting used to but I think I will like the new product. After creating my first few movies and trying to upload them to dropbox, it is taking a long time. Comparing the files to ones created in the previous version they are larger, and I need to know how we adjust the file size to the device the movies will be used for. I don't need high resolution files.  It looks like you can change the size in file for share but still a large file and only compatible with Mac and PC others are greyed out. Files are much larger than the files generated in the old version.
    Thanks any help will be appreciated.

    This is one of the areas where the options have been reduced compared to iMovie 9.  If you share to File, you should have Large (540p) and SD (480p) options in addition to the HD ones. 
    I'm not sure exactly which menu it is where you are finding greyed-out options.
    What is the native format of the movie you are saving?
    If you can't share directly into the format you want you should be able to post-process the shared file with a third-party app.

  • How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?

    How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?  I see that if you select view > view options when in artists it will give you a slider to adjust artwork size (although not by much) but there is no option to do this in Movies or TV shows... why couldn't they just keep the universal slider at the top of the page like before!?  I know they want it to look more like the iOS itunes but this isn't an iPad!!!  I have the screen space!!
    Also why is it that EVERY time they release a new iTunes they get rid of the grey background for grid view? :@

    My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

  • How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

    In an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the size of the Mailbox font used in the left sidebar to view more content in the column, but I don't remember what I did to change it.  The Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors pane no longer has a Mailbox font option.
    Does anyone know how to change the Mail sidebar font size in Lion?

    I'm not sure what you're responding to.  Bob H. above pointed out a clear bug in changing the Mail list font when he went to Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors and changed the font setting for the Mail list (second column), and it didn't work. 
    My issue was the font size in the first column (sidebar), which is not controlled in the Mail app, but by going to System Preferences/General and checking the box for changing the sidebar font size.  This checkbox also controls the font size for Finder (Desktop) windows sidebars (left column), where hard drives, other volumes, user Documents folders, and the like are listed.  This does work perfectly for me. 
    I have no other suggestions for you, except for perhaps trying removing the com.apple.finder.plist file located in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, which you can access by holding down the option key while selecting the Go menu at the top of the screen.  This controls the Finder window settings you have previously selected, and may be corrupted.  Simply move it to the Desktop for temporary safekeeping, then if it simply copied it, vice moving it out of the folder, right click on the file in the folder to move it to the Trash (you may have to authenticate).  This will force the Finder to recreate a default version of the file, which you can then remodify to your liking.  If that works, Trash the copy you moved to the Desktop.  If not, put it back in the folder to restore your prior settings.
    Good luck.

  • FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

    CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
    The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
    you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
    Mac          Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
    Windows   Edit > Preferences > Interface
    CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
    For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
    Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
    TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
    CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

    Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

  • How do I change the default paper size in Firefox if Printer Properties does nothing?

    I print on different including a receipt printer with roll paper.
    I had to reset Firefox yesterday because of a bug, and then changed the Printer Properties to be able to print again in the right format on the receipt paper. But now everything I print from Firefox (even when I change the paper size to Letter on the Printer properties for the regular printer) is in the receipt paper format (long and narrow.) When I do Print Preview, I can see that the paper looks like the roll paper, even if I'm trying to print on letter size.
    I tried resetting both printers with about:config, I tried changing in the printer properties for both printers and nothing works.
    Is there a way to change the default paper size in Firefox?
