How to adjust a video to match the resolution of the existing composition?

i am using adobe after effects cs6.

You can scale to fit horizontally by selecting the layer in the timeline and adjust the scale property or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl/Cmnd + Alt/Option + H.
If the video is larger than the composition you should be good to go but you may be able to improve the look of the scaled down video using unsharp mask. If the video is significantly smaller than the composition you might want to use a 3rd party plug-in like Red Giant Instant HD.
After Effects CC introduced Detail Preserving Upscale which also helps with the upscaling problems.

How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

Hi
I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

Settings-->Mail-->iCloud-->Account is the normal method however iCloud mail is not working for several of us. The password incorrect notification pops up usually when the servers are down (God forbid we actually get a "server down" notification.)

How to write a pgm to change the existing encrypted password

Hi all,
can anybody tell me how to write a pgm to change the existing encrypted password.
thanks in advance.

Well, it's going to depend on how it's implemented in the current system.
But basically it's going to look a lot like the current login actions. Presumably you have something that takes the user ID and password, encrypts the password, looks up the encrypted password in the database matching that user ID, and compares them. This functionality would also take a new password (preferably twice so they can be checked for consistency), and if the existing encrypted passwords match, it will encrypt the new password and put it in the database where the old one was.
And if the application has a mechanism for new users to sign up, it'll look a lot like this as well.
But I'm just guessing. This is all going to depend on how the existing functionality is written. Probably the best thing you can do is talk to a programmer at your organization who has worked on the application, and ask them for help.
Hope this helps anyway.

How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objec

Hi,
I've got a problem in my app.
Namely, my app stores data as objects written to the files. Everything is OK, when I write some data (objects of a class defined by me) to the file (by using writeObject method from ObjectOutputStream) and then I'm reading it sequencially by the corresponding readObject method (from ObjectInputStream).
Problems start when I add new objects to the already existing file (to the end of this file). Then, when I'm trying to read newly written data, I get an exception:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(Unknown Source)
Is there any method to avoid corrupting the stream? Maybe it is a silly problem, but I really can't cope with it! How can I write new objects to the existing file with already written objects?
If anyone of you know something about this issue, please help!
Jai

Here is a piece of sample codes. You can save the bytes read from the object by invoking save(byte[] b), and load the last inserted object by invoking load.

How to bring a video layer in the front of the other?

I'm trying to find how to make a smaller video running in the front of the actual video (for example when gamers play their game and we can see them in the video in the top corner commentating), but i can't find a thing which brings to front one sequence or sends to back one, and my smaller video keeps staying in the back of all the layers. Please guide me, I'm sorry for asking such a basic question but I am searching for hours now.

Hi Tuztanc,
Can you try putting it on a higher video track in the Timeline?
Thanks,

How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

How can I lock video clips to the timeline?

Hello Apple discussion.
I know that holding down the command key disable ripping when triming.
But that doesn't work when deleting clips. It would be useful to lock videoclips to the timeline, so they keep their position.
Lock audio to playhead doesn't help the situation.
Thank you for your time
Attila

You cannot lock a video clip to the timeline. The program is designed so that when you delete a video clip, the other clips slide over to fill the gap. Otherwise you would have holes all over your project, or have to manually move them over. You would want to lock the audio clips to the non-deleted video clips, so that the audio slides over with them.
If you want to preserve the gap left by a deleted video clip, first insert in front of it a black clip of the same exact duration, and then delete the video clip. The black clip would hold all of the other clips in position, but leave you with a black hole to fill or delete. To make a black clip, separate two video clips on the timeline, and control-click on the empty space. In the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then control-click on the black clip and in the resulting window adjust the time duration by overwriting the values in the time box and then clicking the Set button.

How to adjust webpages to fully fit the C470 screen

Hi all
Appreciate any guidance on how to adjust the size of a webpage to fully fill the 21.5" screen of C470. Enlarging by Ctrl+ or Fullscreen F11 won't help as the zooming originate from the centre outwards resulting in the truncation of the height of a webpage. Thanks in advance

Doesn't always work the way you think it should but you could try dropping the Broadcast Safe filter on the entire clip.
You could also just cut the clip where the brightness first appears and add the 3 way Color Corrector. Adjust it to where you like it and then add a disolve between the clips. (may or may not do it for you depending on how the bright spot comes into frame, but it's a fast workaround) Could keyframe the 3 way in if you like.
There are other things you can do with the 3 way to limit it's effect but to get a grip on it you should probably refer to the manual.

How to add a function field into the existing matrix report

Hi,
I have a matrix report , now i wanted to add one moe field into the matrix which is getting the value from a function , this function is a part of the ref cursor query(group) , i'm able to get the value from the function but it cannot display on the existing matrix report. i wanted to add this in the repeating frame which is printing down. how could i do this , looking for your help. thanks . bcj

Here the scenario like,
Data from Table_1
NAME UNITS DAYS RATE
AAA 10 1 1.2
BBB 12 2 3.1
AAA 20 2 4.1
CCC 23 1 5.2
Here, In the matrix report the NAME and UNITS are row fields and 'DAYS' is column field , RATE would be the cell field, and
Data from Table_2 ,
NAME BASIC
AAA 2
AAA 2
BBB 2
CCC 3
In the report i have to display the 'BASIC' along with the NAME in row level ( repeating frame printing down),
To get the multiple 'Basic' for each 'Name' using a ref cursor .
and, using a function to do further calculation based on the basic value
begin
select basic into v_basic where name =:name;
return(caluculated_value);
end;
and return the calculated value to the report. But at that time cannot accommodate the value in the matrix report with other groups frequency.
looking for your valuable help. Thanks Bcj

How to adjust brightness of part of the screen of shot video

Hi,
I have a video I am editing and for the most part the brightness and contrast levels are fine. But when I pan to a LCD display which is part of the video, the brightness is way too high. I can't redo this clip, but am wondering if there is a reasonable way to apply a filter which just lowers the intesity of the LCD screen while leaving the surrounding areas alone. It would sort of be like the concept they chroma keying does (in a loose sort of way).
thanks!

How to use different video formats in the one timeline?

Hi everyone,
So I am in the middle of stringing together a rough cut for a surf flick/documentary shot in some remote Indonesian islands…
Things so far are going well, but I am slightly confused regarding the best way to tackle a slight issue (hopefully slight!) of video format compatibility.
The main shooting for the film was done with .mov video format and this has been imported/captured into final cut pro 7 using the correct settings, which has now formed the basis for my rough cut.
However, I did a lot of filming with some other cameras (underwater, POV etc) and so also have some crucial footage in different formats that to my knowledge will not be compatible with the timeline that I have already created in FCP.
The files are as following:
AVI
MOD
MP4
I am assuming the best way to go about things is convert all these different files into a compatible form that I can then drop straight into my existing timeline.
Unfortunately, I am just beginning to learn the more techy aspects of editing and I don’t have the first idea of how to go about doing this…?
Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks in advance,
m

Although there are kinds of standard workflows for best quality in final product, it helps to know a bit more about your setup... what is your primary format? Without knowing that, the best way forward is to convert all of your footage to Apple ProRes. Especially the MP4 stuff. There are different ways about doing that, but I personally recommend Compressor. This can take some time depending on the amount and lengths of your shots, but it is well worth the process.
Make sure you choose 48k / 16bit AIF for all of your shots that have audio. If some of your footage is 1080p and some is 720p, I personally leave that alone because when you have this type of a difference in footage, I like to set my sequence to 720p giving me the option to move or pan the 1080p clips inside of the 720p sequence. Final Cut Pro is very good at handling that difference.
Hope the edit goes well; sounds like a nice project!
