How do I change video dimensions?

I took four SD (640 x 480) videos and, using "Scale" transformed each one by 50%. Then I put the four of them in a 2 x 2 arrangement in a new HD scaled video (1920 x 1080). It plays fine, but now I have the black vertical bars on each side. I'd like to "cut" the video so when it plays with QuickTime, it'll just show the video portion.
How can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance for any assitance.

So you need to scale up until you can't see the black bars. Because the aspect ratios are different, you'll have to zoom in quite a bit – and probably need to change positions as well to re-frame.
Not that scaling from SD to HD will cause a noticeable drop in quality.
Compressor can do a decent SD>HD reformatting. There are also third party solutions you might check.

  • How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

    How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions.  I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC.  It has the option to change the dimensions.

    When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image?  Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

    Is the screen-rotation lock on? If it is then there is a padlock shown in the upper right by the battery icon. To turn off double click the Home button and fully swipe the bottom row fully right past the music controls and tap the padlock.
    Otherwise
    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How change video dimensions and aspect?

    Im having trouble using FCP to change a video that i have from a 4:3 to 16:9... the video was converted and turned out 4:3... how can i change the video dimensions or bring it back to 16:9??
    thanks
    much appreciated.
    Ben

    Click on a clip. Under the Motion tab, & then under the Distort tab, go to Aspect Ratio. Try 33.33, 0 & -33.33 until it looks right & fill the screen properly. If you have to change a lot of clips, you might be able to use the Remove Attributes option. I'm not very good at explaining these things..but maybe this will help.

  • How can I view video dimensions in a column in list view?

    I don't neccesarily need a "Video Dimensions" column, but if I could find a script that copies the dimensions into the comments, that'd be fine. I tried compiling the script posted above but it didn't work. I don't really know anything about writing applescripts.

  • ITunes Bug - iTunes changed video dimensions

    I can't seem to figure this out:
    Used Handrake 0.9.1 to create m4v movie file at 853 x 478 H.264, AAC
    Finder shows the dimensions at 853 x 478
    Quicktime shows the dimensions at 853 x 478
    However, iTunes has the dimensions at 1011 x 478. What is going on here? How can that be possible? Of course, now I can't get the file on to my ipod or touch at this size.
    Anyone have any solutions? I am trying now the feature in iTunes to covert the movie to play on an iPod. Do you think that will work?
    Is there any other work around?

    Hi Gary, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In summary the "bug" you are describing is this:
    You can make a purchase from the iTunes store, which if you don't backup somewhere, it is possible for you to lose, either through hardware failure, loss, theft or an inadvertent sync.
    The terms and conditions of the iTunes Store, set in part by agreements made with the various rights holders of the copyright material, permit a single download of each purchased item which you, as the end user, are encouraged to back up at the earliest opportunity. iTunes is no different from Amazon and other online digital resellers in this respect. There are stores which do permit subsequent downloads but it is not the standard model, at least with regard to media. Mobile Apps from the iTunes Store can be downloaded multiple times and it may be that over time the music industry will adopt the same model.
    When using an iPhone or any other iDevice to makes purchases you should transfer these to an iTunes library as soon as possible and, further, you should also back up this library and and all its content.
    In the event of an accident involving loss of data, e.g. a hard drive crash between purchase and backup then most stores will, if you explain the circumstances clearly and ask nicely, be prepared to allow a repeat download of the lost items, particularly if you are asking for one or two items rather than everything you've ever purchased. However there is no obligation for them to do so and while some users have had entire collections replaced that level of help will only be offered once, if at all.
    If it matters to you, back it up...

  • How Do I Change Video Output Quality When Capturing .DV Video From Camera?

    I am experimenting with both this Premiere Elements 10 trial, as well as other brands of software, finding the best one to purchase for my needs.
    In some other software, I not only indicate the source quality, but the output quality to the computer.  If I want to upload the full quality video files to edit for retransferring back to a DV video tape, that's fine, but I will take up a lot of computer memory, relatively speaking.  On the other hand, if I know that I'm going to be editing the video for replay on the computer or over the web, I can tell the program to upload to MPEG4 or some other conversion. 
    I am not seeing this as an option with the Premiere Elements.  Can anyone tell me where, if possible, I can alter the output quality before the program begins the download?  I certainly can find the input quality (such as .dv 4:3 ratio).  I'd prefer not to always have to download the full quality video, THEN have to covert it as a separate step.
    Thank you!

    The PRE workflow is (1) Create your project (2) import your assets (3) sequence and edit your assets (4) create your menus (5) share your project.
    The quality of intended output has no effect on your project settings which should match your source footage. Done this way optimises PRE's performance - as it can internally process far more effectively when matched to a 'native' format.
    For standard definition the ideal format for PRE is DV-AVI Type 2. This is almost lossless and operates at around 13GB per hour.
    Compression to an output format (e.g. DVD, or an iPod, or viewing online) is managed through the share process.
    You could:
    Import your footage - e.g AVCHD, HDV, DV-AVI, VOB
    Share it to a compressed format - e.g. MP4
    Delete the original capture source (in Step 1)
    Work in a new project using the compressed output (in step 2).
    But if you do this your final output quality will be lessened through working with a compressed original that you will then compress again. I can't see what you feel you will gain by this - disk space is so cheap now why wouldn't you want to give yourself the best quality source to work with.
    Note that once you are finished with a project you can archive it off to free up your disk space.

  • Video Dimension - how to see

    I would like to be able to see the video dimension, whether it is 1280x720 or 384x216 or whatever when I select a video thumbnail. Is there somewhere to see that in Bridge? I have dimension enabled, and get that info in JPEG view, but not AVI or WMV, it just shows file size. In File/File Info I do not see the Video 1 and Video 2 categories that the knowledgebase search says should be there.
    Am I missing something here? I am using CS3.
    Using Win XP and Windows Explorer the tooltip will display dimension of video file. But with Vista it does not, and do not know how to change the tooltip information box. Any suggestions on that?

  • How can i change the Creation Date of a video (mts-Format)?

    I work with Phohoshop Elements 13 an i use Online-Album (Revel)
    My Problem:
    I would like to change the Creation Date of a Video-File (mts-Format). I don't no why but the date (in Metadata) is wrong and i would like it to change. If i change it in Photoshop Elements the Date (Edit... Change Date...) it seems that the date has changed, but in reality in the Metadata is still the wrong date (see attachment).
    Why this ist important for me:
    The Adobe Revel (Online-Album) takes always the date from the metadata which is wrong.
    Any idea how i can resolve my Problem?
    How i can change the Metadata?

    Hi,
    Did you get help ? Or do you have a work around ? I have about 20.000 Pictures and countless videos to organize myself.
    I just ran into the same problem. Except that after a while Adobe will undo the changes I have made to the date.
    Here's a  screen shot I just made of one of the files.
    Look at this one ! This one is really interesting:
    After changing the date to : 1889 . Adobe changed it to 01.01.1970 00:59
