How do you make an video/image move or grow in size on screen?

I'm trying to make my video clip move from one side of the screen to the next, please help.

Double-click on the clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer. Click on the Motion tab and use the controls in the 'Basic Motion' section. Set a beginning keyframe for each control that you want to change over the duration, then reposition the playhead and make the adjustment(s) - new keyframes will be created if they differ from the initial keyframes you set.
It's even easier if you set the Canvas window to Image+Wireframe and manually scale, rotate and center the image.
This is pretty basic stuff and you should find plenty of information on how to perform these types of effects in the user's manual/help files. For much more comprehensive instructions, pick up a copy of Kevin Monahan's book "Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro"

  • How do you make an iMovie HD movie full screen in Keynote presentation?

    Hey everybody, and Happy Holidays!
    I have a presentation tomorrow morning where I will be using a VGA connector to a video projector to present my Keynote presentation. I have tried just about every way I know how to make my imported iMovie HD film full screen during the Keynote presentation, but so far the best I can do is making the slides the 1024 size, which still leaves a black background above and below the movie when it is playing.
    Basically, what can I do to make my iMovie film full screen in Keynote?
    Thanks!
    -Randy

    First off, I'd be a bit worried if the movie wouldn't play in Quicktime Player -- that's pretty odd, since QT is essentially what Keynote is using for playback as well.
    If you have a new MacBook, then its display's "native" resolution is 1280 X 800, which is pretty much HD (which is 1280 X 720). By way of working through this, I'd first set your screen to 1280 X 800, and then set the slide size in Keynote to 1280 X 720 (which is one of the default sizes, precisely because it fits HD). If you do this, and if you set your movie as wide as it will go and centred, then it will leave 40 pixels at the top and bottom of the display when you play the presentation. There is no way around this, as it is simply the case that the height of the movie in pixels is less than the height of the screen. If you tried to fit the movie onto all of the screen, you'd either have to blow it up so that the top and bottom were at the screen edge, which would cut off the left and right parts of the movie (this is like what is done in "pan-and-scan" or "full-screen" DVDs of theatre films), or you'd have to "stretch" the movie vertically, which would distort it.
    Complicating all of this is your projector. Even if it is just mirroring your display, if it is a digital projector, it too has its own "native" resolution, and unlike your MacBook, it is very unlikely to be a 16:9 ratio, but rather a 4:3 ratio (800 X 600, or 1024 X 768). So even if you hook up your 1280 X 800 MacBook, the projector will still at best project a squarer image, which may show up as narrow bands of darkness above and below your "mirrored" display.
    In short form: there is no way to avoid the black bands -- they arise because the movie isn't as tall as the display, and there's no way around that.

  • How can you make a pixlated image a higher resolution in Photoshop CC? i have tryed image size but it doesnt seem to work someone please help

    As you can see in the screenshot here ----> Gyazo - b048a0770df6264af1ff398951acd4f9.png I have typed a higher resolution but when I try the pixles never seen to ever go away and it increases the file size every time, is there an easier way? PS: if another adobe cc software is needed to complete this task I have every one so it doesn't have to only be in Photoshop.

    The image has been reduced in size and over sharpened to the point that jaggies artifacts abound.  You will not be happy with the result of interpolate the images up in size increase the number of pixels..   You need to find the original image file from the camera.

  • How do I make a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track? Elements 11

    How do I make one a video on one track expand in size over a video on a second track?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the follow up with additional very helpful information.
    What you need to do is to keyframe the Motion Scale property so that it changes over the duration of the whole photo
    rather than  Scale being applied to the whole photo uniformly.
    Two ways you could do the keyframing of Scale..
    a. from the Timeline
    or
    b. from Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded and its Scale Property there, using Toggle Animation to initiate the process.
    For now, I will describe "b"
    Your scaled down image on Video Track 2
    Your regular image on Video Track 1
    Your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline.
    Select/Highlight the image on Video Track 2, go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel Expanded and its Scale Property
    That area should look like
    You get an abbreviated version of the above screenshot if you do not hit the Show/Hide Keyframe Controls icon. With it opened, you will see the actual keyframes being placed.
    With your Timeline Indicator at the beginning of the Timeline and Video Track 2 Image selected, click on the Toggle Animation Icon. That will set the Scale property keyframes
    which at that time will be at a value less than 100% because you are starting with a scaled down Video Track 2 Image.
    Then move the Timeline Indicator to the last frame of the clip. Then move the Scale slider to 100% or whatever % gives you Video Track 2 Image just to full frame so
    that you do not see the Video Track 1 image. Render the Timeline by pressing of the Enter key of the computer main keyboard or pressing the Render button above
    the Timeline.
    All sorts of things can be done by keyframing a property. The property could be other than Scale (some examples might be Position, Opacity, certain effects applied
    to Timeline content, etc.)
    Please review and consider and then let us know if that worked for you. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.
    Thank you.

  • How do I make selective screenshot images in cells the same size?

    I am putting together a spreadsheet to list the purchasing options for our company from some of the Mac mini models but have a problem with image sizes in spreadsheet cells.
    First I took screenshots of each of the price and spec panels of the self-configured options I was interested in recommending using CmdCtrl+Shift4 to save the screenshot to the clipboard. Next, I highlighted the cell into which the image was destined to go and clicked Cmd+V and the image appeared in the cell (as an image fill for background colour). I repeated this process for six different Mac minis, being careful to start and finish the crosshairs in exactly the same place for each option. Each of these images had been lifted from a separate Tab in Safari 4.0.5 and appeared to be identically sized.
    The problem is, when placed in the spreadsheet cell grid, each image was either higher or lower than the one next to it, yet all cells were the exact same size. Some images appeared to be centred in the cell, others appeared to be top aligned.
    Can anyone help me to understand why this happens, and to give a suggestion on how to avoid it in the future?
    TIA

    OK, my mistake! The images were not the same size because the specs were different for each one, meaning that the info boxes were of different heights. When I copied them again, using the coordinates to ensure the screenshots were exactly the same size this time (rather than adding on a fixed width to the outside of the boxes) the problem was solved.
    Sometimes it's the user not the tools that has the problem!
    Having said that, it would be useful if the images were not background fills, but images that you could highlight because that would show quite quickly the size of each one - and allow you to add a background colour to a column to indicate a category type.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do you make a video open as soon as page is loaded? Also, which program is best for video?

    I have a page with a quicktime video, and am wondering how to do that. Is there a setting in Dreamweaver to do that? ALSO, what's the best video program to do when displaying movies on the web? I'm working with quicktime and most seem to have it. Or do they? What video program is the least likely to create problems with users?

    what's the best video program to do when displaying movies on the web? I'm working with quicktime and most seem to have it. Or do they? What video program is the least likely to create problems with users?
    Flash. If you're exporting Quicktime files you can export as h.264 that will play in Flash Player 9+
    Use the JW player to play h.264 files in a flash player.

  • How do you make one video clip constantly switch colors?

    I am trying to make it that one video clip switches from one color then to another color then to another? I also don't want to break up the clip into multiple clips then just change the color on each sub clip because when I tried that, it wouldn't load well in playback because there were so many effects in a couple of seconds. Please help me, thanks!

    When you say 'switch from one color then to another color' do you mean you want the clip to show in shades of a single colour ranging from black to your colour and for that colour to change, or that you want the colours of the image to cycle so that red becomes blue, yellow becomes green and blue becomes red?
    If it is the 'shades of a single colour' you want, apply the 'Cast' effect from the 'Looks' section of the effects palette and use keyframes to animate the Midtones parameter.
    If you want to colour cycle, apply my free 'Gradient Colorize a4d' effect, edit the colours in the gradient and keyframe the 'Offset' parameter which cycles the gradient colours through the image. If you're interested I could create a free effect that could cycle through the colours in a gradient automatically.
    Download 'Gradient Colorize a4d' from my blog:

  • How can you make a background image change to a faded state at a certain point in scroll?

    I'm referring to a technique I've seen used in Relevant Magazine's iPad app if anyone has used it. I understand having a shape behind text that has a feathered gradient and when you scroll the text the shape gradually fades out the background image. But this is not the effect I'm trying to acheive. On some of the articles in Relevant, the screen is a full image and as you scroll the type up, the entire background dims when you scroll to a certain spot.
    I've tried searching for hours, but I feel like I'm getting no where because I don't really know what to search for. I feel like it requires use of something other than what DPS is capable of. Hopefully this makes sense and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions and help!
    Thanks!

    Try applying the feathered gradient to the scrollable content frame, not the background frame. It will appear to change the color of the background frame.

  • How do you make a floppy image on a mac mini?

    I tried the following to make a bootable floppy image and it would not even read in a virtual machine.  I have Oracle Virtualbox.  I am using a Mac Mini 2011 with 4GB of RAM.  I have tried making a blank floppy and copying to it by dragging and using the Terminal, but neither works.  Here are the cmds I used:
    dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1440>floppy.img
    Then I mounted and erased the image file in Disk Utility.
    cp -Rpv /Volumes/Untitled/ /Volumes/UNTITLED\ 1/
    The above command copied all the files from the floppy to the image but the image wouldn't read on the virtual machine.
    Thanks,
    ericgsch

    It's an old thread, but searches still retrieve it. For what it's worth, look at (for example) http://kb.parallels.com/en/4794
    The procedure to make an image of a floppy disk is basically as follows:
    Put your disk in your floppy drive. Open Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, select your floppy drive, select New Image, select "read/write" and no encryption, then Save (wherever you want the image to be). Then (in Finder) you might want to change the filename extension from .dmg to something else, like .flp or .fdd, depending on what you want the image for. For VirtualBox, you might want .img.

  • How do you make a color image black and white

    I looked at the Adjust Image tool, but I could not see an easy way to make the color picture turn into black and white.
    Yes I realize I could go back into iPhoto and do that. I don't want to do that.
    In Word there is an image control that allows you to do various things with the image, including going to grayscale.

    Thanks Walt. That indeed was easy. I had tride saturation before, but didn't get all the way left, so it just looked washed out. I decided, wrongly it appears, that it would not do as I needed. Thank you. I just wish something like that could have been in the help file or PDF.
    I think once I get the hang of the nuances, this program will really rock. Its just taking longer than I anticipated. I mean, it is an Apple program---so I was counting on a lot more intuitive steps.

  • How do you make a layer/image a gradiant of opaque to transparent?

    I want to learn a way to make and image transition from opaque to transparent.
    I've seen it in advertisements shown as something that resembles a reflection.
    I only have CS2, so bare with me.
    Thank you to anyone who understands and can help.

    YOU ARE AMAZING!
    I love you.
    I've pondered that for months after I saw this cigarette ad. It's kept me up at night!
    See, I've self taught myself Photoshop ever since I was 14, and I'm just now messing around with masks.
    They're difficult, but I think you just opened so many doors in my brain on what I can do with masks now.
    Thank you so very much!

  • How do you make a video file acceptable to Captivate 7?

    I tried to attach a video and although the video was an .mp4, Captivate wouldn't allow it.  I downloaded the FLV Converter, but it still won't accept the file.

    This is what I did:
    1.  I added a "Caption and Content Right" slide to my presentation,
    2.  Then I clicked the "Insert Video Object" link on the new slide, selected the video from my computer (by browsing to find it) and
    3.  Clicked OK and got the following error message:  Failed to load the video file.  The file path or URL may be invalid.
    So I downloaded the FLV  Converter and converted my .MOV file to an .MP4 file and it still wouldn't load and I got the same error message.

  • How can I make an imported image smaller without changing the size of the canvas?

    After downloading some free icons, I used the drag and drop method to bring the icon of my choosing onto a blank canvas that is 313x188 pixels. The image is larger than I need it to be, so I need to make the image smaller while keeping the canvas size at 313x188 pixels. I've tried several things after googling it, but have not had any luck. Help; I'm still learning! Thanks in advance!

    ctrl/cmd-T will bring up transform. Then just drag the handles to size it - hold the shift key to constrain the aspect ratio.
