How do you crop in Quicktime?

I'm aware of the masking function, using a black and white gif, but I'm wondering if there is a way to actually permanently crop the movie, removing the information from the file to result in a smaller file size. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have been unable how to figure out how to do it with either Quicktime Pro or Autodesk Cleaner.
Thanks!!!

You have to re-compress the video. If you don't, the mask image must always stick to the video file. In such case, the file size won't change.

QuickTime X seems to be the future development for Apple and it has features not found in version 7.
Likewise, QuickTime Player 7 with the "Pro" license has a lot of features not (yet) available in QuickTime X. Most notable are the extensive export options, movie property editor, & "old school" window style with easy to set in & out timeline points that don't block the image.
But because it is a 32 bit application it is much slower for some things than QT X, most notably playback of HD movie content.
So I use QT 7 for editing & exporting and QT X for playback-only stuff.

How do you crop shapes?

I was making a video the other day and I wanted to crop an image so it would fit into a thought bubble I had put on the screen. but I was only able to figure out how to crop top, left, right and bottom. I wasn't able to crop in shapes at all. How do you do this?

How to draw shapes with a curve:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS86176DC4-85CA-4593-8050-DACFEBCBA0B9a.h tml
When you draw your shape its a open bezier
when you are finished its a closed bezier
When you turn it into a shape to use as a matte for the track matte effect you change the Graphic Type to filled bezier and set the color to pure white.
If you need to animate the matte you place a garbage matte on a white solid instead of using the Titler. Unfortunately the garbage matte does not go beyond 16 points and no bezier handles.
You can feather a matte by adding a Fast/Gaussian Blur to the shape.

How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
But how do you control it in Fireworks?
I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
This cant be this unintuitive.
Surely Im missing something...

Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

How do you crop square 1000x1000 px

I am supposed to crop square 1000 x 1000 px, seems impossible from the image size window, it looks like the canvas size may, but how exactly.
thanks

I hope we are talking about reducing the number of pixels of an image by cropping some of them away from a rectangle shape to make the square.
Make sure that the menu Window > Options (near the bottom) is checked "on." It would be much easier to have that tool bar available, as it allows you to set the width, height, and other crop options when the Crop tool is selected.
Launch your rulers if they are not on, View > Rulers
Make sure the rulers display pixels instead of some other units (inches for example).
Settings are under PS Preference > Units and Rulers, but the shortcut is easier, on a Mac I press Control key and mouse up and click the ruler to find the unit options. Pick pixels to make the crop easier.
Before you crop to a specific dimension, change settings in that Options bar, "1000" width and "1000" in the height field.
If the box adds "in" after your 1000, make sure to change "in" (inches) to "px" for pixels. Pixel-size image are typically used for the web or screen viewing, so you can add 72 (or whatever number is requested for resolution).
If you only have a couple of images to crop, you can just fill in the width and hold down Shift-key while you crop to get a square shape.
After you are through with the crops, be sure to "Clear" the entries, so those dimensions don't make you crazy when you try to crop other dimensions some other day.

How do you crop a diagonal pattern in a way that makes it tileable for web?

At the moment I have just given up and made one huge image and kept it at around 800kb for a web background. However, I realize this is not ideal. I can't figure out how to make this pattern tileable. I figure there's some crazy math I have to calculate to figure in the crop size so that the cut off for the images fit perfectly, but I have no idea how to do that. Has anyone run into this situation before and found a solution?

You're doing it wrong! :-)
Use css to solve this problem. Although there is no css property to rotate a background image, you can apply a neat trick to create the same effect.
1) save your file as a regular rectangular pattern (17.6kb!) :
2) save this in your images folder in your site root.
3) to create a rotated background for your page, use this:
body {
    position: relative;
background: url('../img/bgrot.jpg') 0 0 repeat;
body:before {
    content: "";
    position: fixed;
    width: 200%;
    height: 200%;
    top: -50%;
    left: -50%;
    z-index: -1;
    background: url('../img/bgrot.jpg') 0 0 repeat;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(-20deg);
    transform: rotate(-20deg);
Done! Far easier, and more flexible. To see it work, check out the test I made at http://estructor.altervista.org/rotbg/test.html
You can inspect the code in your browser.
PS css transformations are unsupported in IE 8 - the background will still show, though (non-rotated). For IE8 you will might want to use a conditional comment in your html to create a conventional background pattern instead.
*update* I updated the example with a page wrapper element that uses the same background, but rotates it at a different angle. The trick here is to create a sufficiently large element that covers the entire box. Then you will have to set overflow:hidden; to hide the overflow so it contains the background pattern inside that box. It takes a bit of tinkering to get the working values for height and width, because it is slightly dependent on the actual content.

How do you crop backgrounds

I forgot how to crop my background out of my finished
project. I have photos and graphics that go past the size of the
document and when I export my .swf they show up (as opposed to
getting cropped out). I know I have done this before, but I can't
figure it out or find a tutorial that shows it. thanks!

You'll only see those in the Flash player. Once you publish
to a web page,
and view within your browser, you won't see content that
isn't on stage.

How do you crop photos?

I have iPhoto version 2. I have printed the instructions in iPhoto Help for cropping photos, but I seem to need more help. Following the 4 steps in the iPhoto Help section, I seem to have isolated the part of the photo that I want to print and e-mail, but what comes next? Now that I have used the Edit button, and the crosshair pointer, and the Crop icon in the Edit pane, what do I do now? I want that part of the photo that I have identified. How do I get it?
iMac DV (Special Edition) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

With the photo viewed in edit mode you draw a
rectangle with the mouse around the part you want to
keep. Then you select crop. Your cropped photo will
then appear in the edit window.A full size photo of
the area your selected.
That's it.
Well, while I was waiting for an answer, I finally fumbled, bumbled, and stumbled to a successful conclusion--I hope (I won't know until my friend acknowledges receipt of the picture.
I have to say that in my case it wasn't a matter of "That's it". My first problem was getting the cropped photo by itself. I think that my problem here was that there were just too many EDIT buttons on my screen. I must have used the wrong one the first time I tried. After that there were problems at EVERY step. Also, even though I finally e-mailed the message, I couldn't quite cope with the ENHANCE and CONTRAST buttons. The problem was they seemed to be one-way streets. I mean that after discovering that I had gone too far and that I didn't like the results, I couldn't reverse things. "Undo ENHANCE" didn't do it, nor did another similarly named button. Finally, I found another button that did the trick. I hope that the ENHANCE, BRIGHTEN, CONTRAST, etc. features have been simplified and improved in future versions. I'll soon know when I buy my next Mac. Thanks for your help.

How do you crop a part of a bitmap image in precise dimensions

Hello
I have created images of navigation bars and others using Fireworks CS6. However, I notice that selecting a navigation bar does not allow your to crop that image using Crop Selected Bitmap on the Edit menu. Please someone advise me how to crop an image in precise size from Fireworks so that I get a navigation bar in the ideal size I want.
Thank you,
Ead

Not sure if my answer is what you are looking for but here goes.
You can crop/delete any part of a bitmap by using the marque tool, I think the default shortcut key is the M key.
Another tip - using the marque tool you can select areas of your bitmap then go to Select (menu) then select inverse... now when you select the delete key it will delete everything outside of the selected marque.
A little more advanced but extremely useful:
The way I work in FW is a bit different. I alsmost never use bitmap graphics, rather I use vectors. Using these handy, quick custom commands that I created http://fireworksinstructionalvideos.com/commands/selectPoints.zip, you can resize any object from any side with a simple shortcut key.
Once you have these four commands installed you can set up some really useful shortcut keys:
Grab points:
Left - shift + alt/option + L
Right - shift + alt/option + R
Top - shift + alt/option + T
Bottom - shift + alt/option + B
I hope this helps!

How do you crop outside of the project dimensions?

I have footage that's shot in 2.7k resolution. But my project is only 1080. When I put the clip into the project I think it's auto cropped into 1080 that's great. But I want to use the extra resolution for my own cropping. Maybe there's a corner I want to focus in. Or maybe I want to use the extra resolution for stablization. How do I do that?

Select the clips you want to reframe in the project and in the video inspector change the spatial conform to none.
