How to crop video AND fill frame?

I have some old movies that I had converted to miniDV. Unfortunately the person who did it didn't zoom in enough on the projected image so the movie image doesn't quite fill the frame of the video.
I'm editing these, and when I'm in FCE I've used the crop tool to crop out the non-image areas on the top and right side. But when I view them, the video frame is still the same size and it shows black bars on the top and right sides where I cropped it, kind of defeating the crop process.
Is there a way to crop out the stuff I don't want and then have the resulting video fill the entire video frame? It's OK if the resulting video has a smaller pixel dimension.

Thanks Mitchell, that was helpful. I first tried your method which worked, and then used a shortcut which was a bit more intuitive.
Once I enabled showing the wireframe, I was able to click on the lower left corner and re-size by dragging it down. The I clicked on the center of the image and dragged it so the image fit properly in the frame. Easy - once you know how.

  • Trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut. I've tried exporting it as a flattened movie through export - QT - "current settings" and through QT conversion, making to sure set the "size" as 720 x 480 ( my sequence presets are as follows: 720 x 480, DVCPRO50) but the default " current size" seems to be set at 640 x 480 and that's how it is exporting it. I must be missing something, I've never had this happen to me before... Any ideas? Maybe I should try trashing the preferences, usually what I do when I'm out of options...Thanks,

    I just tested a bunch of stuff and the only way it would export correctly was by choosing "none" in the compression dialog box from the export to qt menu. weird hunh?

  • How to install videos and movies on to i touch

    i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

    Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
    If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

  • Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

    I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
    Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, MOV can hold all sorts of "stuff." See this article for some more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    Can you let us know what is inside that MOV "wrapper?"
    Thanks, and good luck,

  • How to unlink video and audio in FCPX

    I am new in FCPX.. can someone tell me how to unlink video and audio in FCPX ? and how to mute audio rather than low the -db ?

    There's no 'Unlink' audio (as such) in FCP X but if you select a clip in the timeline, and press Shift+Ctrl+S, the audio breaks away from the clip. Select this, and you can toggle it on and off by pressing V.
    Take care with this, because it's easy to get the audio out of sync. You need to move the audio and video together if you have to move them, so I would select them both and press Option+G to make them into a Compound Clip (to preserve sync).
    To mute the audio embedded in a clip, select the clip in the timeline and press Cmd+4 to open the Inspector.
    Click the Audio Tab at the top of the Inspector and uncheck the Audio Waveform(s). Your Audio will be muted.
    To mute audio for the entire project, go to the Roles tab in the Timeline Index (next to the film reel icon) and uncheck Audio or Dialogue (as appropriate).

  • How much music, videos, and pictures can an 8gb iphone 4 hold?

    how much music, videos, and music can an iphone 4 hold?

    If you look in itunes at the bottom it will say how long the total list of music will play for and how big it is. eg. 1.00GB.
    Make sure you are in the (main)Music folder, though otherwise it will only tell you the info for that playlist or whatever you are looking at.
    As posted earlier "You need to do your own math, music and videos have wide differences in  size. More short songs and more short videos can be placed on the  iPhone. The number of media does not matter, it is the size (data, GB)  of the media that matters."

  • How to crop video using ROI

    Hello,
    Would some one please help me?
    I have a loop which continuously aquire images from a camera and saves it to a video . I would like to crop a region of this video by passing the co-ordinates of a rectangle.After I have the cropped video, I would like to do a intensity profile of the whole video and display it using a single graph ( intesnity changes for diffferent frames in the y axis and the the number of the frame in x - axis.
    Joyce Joy

    Hi,
    You can implement image cropping following the example:
    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-11222
    You would have to programmatically generate the ROI rectangle if you do not wish to have user interaction in the code.
    I am not quite sure what kind of intensity profile you want, but here is a good example that performs it along a line, so you could just build an array of those and plot it.

  • How to store videos and photos in external storage

    Hi,
    May I know how do I store videos and photos into an external hard disk so that I can free up my Macbook storage?
    Hope to receive advice on this.
    Thanks
    Stephen Lim

    Hi Stephen
    Yes there are problems with this
    A. external Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to be used for VIDEO as KLAUS1 writes.
    B. a FireWire or Thunderbolt one is better than USB/USB2 as they performs badly to me especially when filling up.
    C. DO NEVER - move or alter any folders named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder as this will break the connection to iMovie
    ONLY move Event's and Project's from within iMovie Application !
    D. Then the BIG problem - as I have no answer to - Video and Photos in iPhoto or Aperture.
    Moving them to an external hard disk - and at least MY iMovie can not see them any more - resulting in broken Project's - most probably beyond repair.
    and here I run into the wall of ignorance

  • How to link video and audio channels of multiple clips

    Importing iMovie08 sequence via XML ends up with unlinked video and audio channel (only one of the stereo channels; see other post).
    It is possible to link each clips audio and video track individualy.
    Is there a way to do it in batch mode for all the clips in de timeline??

    1. After selecting the in points on main audio and one of two video tracks, the "merge clips" is greyed. Yes,in case you're wondering, the audio is on the HD.
    Your use of language is confusing me I'm afraid. You opened the AIFF file and set an IN then opened a QuickTime movie and set and IN and then with them both selected in the Browser (and the Browser the active window) that you cannot select Modify->Merge Clips... ?
    I wasn't wondering anything about your audio, but now I'm wondering "What does 'the audio is on the HD' mean?"
    2. The other issue is that the starting point is silent, so the only I know how to find the actual beginning is by counting frames back from the first sound. Is that what I have to do? Is would seem to me that there must be a "marker" that's not and "in" or "out" that will allow me to merge the tracks. No?
    If you set an IN point in two clips you can merge them using the Merge Clips... command with the in points option. The IN points you choose can be anywhere and for anything. They can be where the clapper hits and sounds, they can be where a drum stick hits a cymbal, they can be where someone is clapping, they can be where a body falls from a building onto the sidewalk... Anything that helps you sync the sound with picture.

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!
    ralph
    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.
