How to: Create same size video frames?

I like to use the effect where I have two different videos that are split on the screen.
Example: a shot of the bride and groom walking down the stairs from the church and then another shot of people greeting them.
I like to have these two shots share 50% of the screen each.
I know how to get the two clips on the screen, but I need a better process for the placement and sizing.
Is there a way to position these shots automatically? Today I have to manually nudge the frames until they look level and adjacent, and the same size.
It's even harder if I have more than two clips. I would love to have a grid that I could place them in, and a preset "template" to get them all the same size easily.
Any advice on how to make this effect a bit easier to accomplish?
1) Make the clips the same size
2) Position the clips evenly

Go into the Motion tab for each clip and set the
Scale and Center points precisely.
How about placing the videos evenly on the screen?
I.e one pic in the upper left corner and the second clip in the lower right.

How to create a fancy picture frame border around an image

Hi there,
Does anybody know how to create a fancy picture frame around
an image that's inside an AP DIV? I want the image to look like
it's a picture hanging on the wall. Any of your guru's know how to
do that - eh then?
Thanks a mill for any help!

Find or use your graphics program to create an image of a
frame you like.
Size it so its inside measurements match your picture.
Option 1 - Paste your picture image on the frame image and
insert in your container.
Option 2 - Place your frame image as a non-repeating
background for your container and then insert your picture.

How Do I Differentiate Multiple Video Frame Grabs?

When I generate a JPEG image from a video frame, how do I:
1. apply the version name of the video to the JPEG, instead of the (external) source file name?
2. when generating multiples from the same video, get unique names?
If something like timecode could be used, the JPEG name would be both unique and I could later locate that source frame (among many thousands).
Possible? It is, after all, a Pro app.

Hi Eric,
In Edit > Prefs > General, there is a checkbox for "Auto Scale to Frame Size". Enable that, and any clips imported after that change will automatically be scaled to fill the current frame size. For clips already imported prior to change, you can right-click and manually choose Scale to Frame on clips in your Sequence.
Ideally, you should figure out what format you want to deliver, and start from there. For instance, if the final product will be on DVD, then 720x480 is the size to work with and you would start with a DV NTSC preset and scale clips to fit. Not a good idea to scale everything UP, as you will lose quality, so not recommending full 1920x1080 HD if your sources are all smaller.
Also pay attention to FRAME RATE. You can mix them, but decide which one is most prevalent and that may be the one to use, depends though. If you can give examples of what you have to work with, and where it is going (DVD, YouTube, etc.) then you may get more specific tips

How to create a tv-shaped frame in Photoshop?

I'm trying to create a frame for a photo that has the shape of an old-style TV screen: square, with rounded corners, all four sides bulging out slightly. I've figured out how to create a rectangle with rounded corners, but I can't figure out the bulges. (My PS vector and pen skills are very poor.) A rough sample is below. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop? Or, is there a template available?
Thanks for any help.

I would say use the pen tool to add a point at the center of each side. Select all 4 points then scale outward. If necessary you can use the convert point tool to drag out on each point to smooth the bend. Using the convert point tool, will move both sides of the point to once, other wise, you would be using the direct selection tool which can drag only one handle at a time, which may make the point not symmetrical as far as the handles are concerned. Having both handles out at the same distance, may make a better smoothing for that point.
But you may also be satisfied with how it looks with out dealing with the handles at all. It is all subject to the eye of the beholder.

How to create a multi video player with iMovie

Hey folks, I have a great wee QT player for my daughter's website which was generated for me by iMovie export. Lovely.
But- folk are wanting to see more videos of her singing.
Question- how to generate a multi-video player using the same principles (and same simple design)? One like those generated by YouTube's facility to create a list of videos to appear in a single player, or where it is possible to just click a "next" tab? Here is the page I am referring to: http://www.brigidmhairi.com/music.html
Just to clarify- I am not wanting to use the YouTube player because it is a bit fussy and doesn't look right on the site in mind. The QT one has no borders etc and therefore suits me better. Besides- the 320 format is perfect.
Hope someone can help me, thank you SO much.

Hi HighlanderIn ..
who else than me.. ?
this is no iMovie related question.. that is
a) html/CSS-coding or
b) some flash-app
read out the code on your linked website ... :
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/33/videogallerywidget.swf
pageobject_id=artistxxx bla bla bla /><br/>
<a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/main/artist_feature/widgets">
bla bla bla ..
</noscript>
.. going to that website reverbnation.com, it looks like they offer, as YT, a video-hosting service plus that 'special' player as a flash-code you can embed in your website (as the YTplayer) ..
so, here are your options:
• use this service.. costs? no idea, research on your own ..
• use flash, encode yourself.. perhaps, you can find some 'ready made' coding?
• *what website-maker do you use?* iWeb offers a template for videos.. many on one preview-page, 'click' creates a bigger version for playback ..
.. as mentioned: less iMovie, more 'website creation' ..

I've tested it w/ 'ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i image.jpg -i sound.mp3 blah.avi' and the output works w/ mplayer but I had issues w/ .ogg and .ogv output.

How to create uniform size archive logs?

Archivelogs are simply "backup" copies of the online redologs. So in general, an archivelog will be the same size as the online redolog that it is archiving. It may happen to be be smaller in some circumstances that cause a log switch before an online redo log is full.

How to create rooms for video chat

Hi
I am working with video conference application.I am new to fms.Does anybody please suggest and guide me how to create different video chat rooms.
Your help is appreciated.

Regarding scripting there were no changes introduced - in the sense of the framework, SSAS, and the way you build apps (e.g. clocal/cglobal). There were of course some enhacements to the API though, as well as some utility methods e.g. client.getNextID(); But on a global scale no. This book is a must-read for anyone who plans FCS/FMS. U might also regard this title: http://www.amazon.com/Macromedia-Flash-Communication-Server-MX/dp/0735713332/ref=sr_1_4?ie =UTF8&s=books&qid=1276703184&sr=1-4. Although it doesn't present much of new info after u read Proggramming FCS book, but it does offer some insight into aspects not described in any of the resources, like server administration etc. Also note tha the latter title appeared just after the release of FCS.

How to create a gradient - Video

I was asked on the day I downloaded FCPX how to create a Graduated sky! Well as I had only just got it I had no idea.. so having promptly forgot the users name I thought Id stick the video here if anyone is interested.. probably most of you know how to do it anyway?!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRPHxLlLN3c

Here is what I have figured out.
If you click each color/opacity swatch slider in the gradient box in Motion you can publish the respective color, location, and opacity controls for that transition point in the gradient. This will allow you to change the colors for those points from within FCPX and adjust the location of the transition between zones.
I'm just making up the terminology above.. hopefully it is clear.
It doesn't seem like you add new points to the gradient from within FCPX at this time. If someone figures it out, please share!

How to create a child text frame within main text frame that flows as the text does

Is there a way to create an anchored text frame that flows with the main text and goes on from the top of next column or page with the same type of horizontal alignment?
I want to create a cuttable and paste-able, title, anchored small text frame and main text unit format that will repeat with different contents with as less manual labour as possible. (There is a simple example of what I am trying to achieve as a screenshot)
Thanks in advance for any answer given

One of the limitiations of anchored frames is that you cannot split them or include them in a text thread.

How do create a music video with iMovies 09

Dear Apple iMovie Form Participants,
I'd like to use iMovie to create a music video. My son and I already recorded him playing drums and singing, and me playing bass and singing into an Event in iMovies. I have saved all the video clips from this session in iMovie. I also exported the audio, so that I can import it into GarageBand, and then start Play on GarageBand, which will play through the monitor speakers in the studio, so that if I have iMovie set up beforehand, my son and I can film ourselves playing guitar and electric violin in synchronization with the drum and bass tracks that we recorded before. We would then end up with video clips that show us playing guitar and violin accompanied by the sounds of drums and bass. How do we then use the Project editor to show clips of the drum and bass + vocals playing in synchronization with the music, alternating with the clips of guitar and violin?
You could post your reply also to my regular email, which is [email protected]

Your best bet:
Finish the entire audio recording in garage band first. Give yourself a click to start off. You can record the video lip-sync with your instruments later. Burn it to a cd and play it from a cd player so your computer can be dedicated to recording the video.
Imovie 09 does not have true multi-camera editing capabilities like Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, but you can get it done with a little extra patience.
Decide which video will be the main one. Shoot that one first. Put it into your project. Bring your audio from garage band back in and sync it.
Record your second, third, and fourth video shots...
Go to the iMovie>menu>preferences>general and make sure "show advanced tools is checked.
You will be using the cuttaway to put sections of your second video ontop of the main one. With your first video already in your project window, drag a few seconds of the second on top of it. A black menu will appear and select "cuttaway". It will essentially paste your second video on top of the first. Sync it by dragging back and forth. Unfortunately, with iMovie, you have to sync it by hand each time you paste a cuttaway video on top of the main one. The main one sync stays fine.
You can also choose "picture in picture" and see both videos at once.
Repeat with the third, fourth, or whatever video.
Practice so you understand the editing workflow before you spend all day trying to record your actual video. It takes someone who is patient and clever, but it will work!
Here is an example, I couldn't sync the close up shots at all (they were from a different piece), but most people can't tell. The camera panning is all done by using the "ken burns effect":

How to create a long video only consisting of noise effect?

Hello,
this goal might seem strange, but the purpose is to fight a "burn-in" effect on a plasma tv.
The only way I found to apply the noise effect is to use an adjustment layer in combination
with a video file, but this limits the duration of the effect to the duration of the video and probably
leads to a composite of video and effect. Is there a way to create a long video only with the noise
effect?
thanks,
Stefan

Check the TV. Most plasmas will have this feature built-in. If by chance yours doesn't, you can pick up the Disney WOW: World of Wonder [Blu-ray] for about $30. It has such a test pattern (and you can calibrate the TV to boot).
