How to crop

I'm wondering how to do this:
http://vimeo.com/33408804
I'm using Premiere Pro 5.5 on a WINDOWS system

As Rod points out, Keyframing the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale, and Motion>Position, will do just what you want. The Fixed Effects are always assigned to any Video Clip and include Motion (Scale & Position), Rotation, Opacity, etc.
The Keyframing is most easily done from the Effects Control Panel (not to be confused with the Effects Panel, which lists all Effects that can be applied to a Clip - the Fixed Effects are already there, and the Effects Control Panel allows you to control them).
With the Fixed Effects>Motion & Scale, the Project's Frame Size will effectively crop the footage. Now, if you were to do a PiP (Picture in Picture), the Scale would be smaller, so one would see background around it.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Welcome to the forums.
    You can use the crop effect.
    You can use the scale effect to "zoom" into a specific area of a clip.
    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

  • How to crop or cut a clip on the top or at one side?

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to crop a clip either on top or at one side?
    Thank you in advance

    I havent cropped that way before, but this should work. Double click the part of your clip you want to crop, in the viewer click the motion tap and select crop. You can adjust your parameters there, you should see your result in the canvas window. You will need to add markers if this effect ia for a portion of your clip.
    Check out the tutorials on apples website about adding motion.

  • New filters - how to crop and level?

    I can see how to crop, using the motion filter, or to use one of the filters to mask off a certain portion of a clip. And I see where you can use the motion filter to rotate a clip a bit in order to correct for tripod tilt.
    But I don't know how to use them together to get the result I want, which is a cropped clip with straight edges with a slightly rotated clip inside the straight edges. What I get is a tilted, cropped clip, the sort of thing you routinely do for a still photo in iPhoto.

    You don't want to crop. You need to scale up. The more you rotate the more you'll have to scale up the image.

  • How to crop a QuickTime movie to delete black top and bottom areas?

    How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
    I have tried with iMovie 8.0.5, yet its "Window - Cropping..." to fit, crop and Ken burns does not allow to select the area that I want, which is extra wide.
    Thanks.

    How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
    Basically, you have two options. 1) You can use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) which allows you to reset the top/bottom/left/right screen edges (i.e., crop the active viewing area) and then re-compress the remaining content as a new file (as recommended by QTKirk) or 2) if you have QT Pro, you can simply "mask" the player display which crops the display screen to the desired mask dimension and location within the original area. The advantage of the latter work flow is not having to re-compress the file which can be very time consuming. Since the latter method may seem confusing to some, I have prepared a "quickie" tutorial which may be able to "talk" you through the process:

    how to crop an image illustrator

    To edit pixel you should use Photoshop. There are workarounds to crop pixel images in Illy, but all demand that you embed the image. Then it gets converted into the document's color space, which might not be desired. So do your pixel editing in Photoshop.

  • How to Crop an .AVI media in PP CS4 if possible at all.

    Yes I'd like to know how to crop an AVI clip" I googled the question and got a lot of photoshop answers instead. What I wanted to do is, using an original clip get  2 short portions of it. that is of two different people jumping out of a plane and have them both spinning inversely 360 degree to the length of a song. I did it but was annoyed with the black edges on either side of the clips, especially interfering with the spinning of each clips (BTW I did export these two short clips after fitting them to the frame in a new sequence but the result is still the same, I hoped the new avi would not have the black edges, but it did not work!) I even would have preferred my two clips to be square for better visual balance but was unable to do this either. This may be a kind of picture in picture or in this case two pics in one. Thank you in advance for any tips

    In the Effects Panel (not the Effects Control Panel), there is a little query box. Just type "crop," and it would have popped up - just do not forget to clear that query box, of you will not see your other Effects.
    As for a Google search, I would have done advanced, with the string "Adobe Premiere Pro" and then the word "crop" and "effect" above.
    THIS is the second hit, with about the same, but for CS3, that I got. Cropping is more commonly used in still Image editing, such as with PS, so most hits on "crop" will probably throws 1000's of PS references. By putting in that string, where all words are kept together and in order, we eliminated nearly all of those.
    Good luck,

  • How to crop and delete a piece from a phot

    How to crop and remove some part of a photo

    You can use the crop tool for that, assuming you want to take a slice off it.
    (in my menu it is listed above the eyedropper tool, or you could just press C)
    You can then drag the box edges to fit the selection you want to keep.
    To be more precise, turn off snapping by unchecking snap at View > Snap
    If this does not do what you want, it would be handy if you added an image and description of what you want to change.

  • How to crop a video in Premiere Elements 13?

    How do I crop a video in Premiere Elements 13?  I see 'pan and zoom.'   And, it retains the aspect ratio automatically, but I don't always need the 'pan' or the 'zoom' -- just want a tight shot on an actresses' sunglasses, which reflect something she is shocked to see.  When I go to help and ask about cropping, it sends me to Photoshop.  Still learning here.

    Seems that it is impossible to crop video frame in 13, all guidelines in Adobe pages or any other lead to versions 12 or older, crop is not anymore in same place. Little odd, very simple and needed tool. FreeSpeechZOne have asked this long time ago and no answer??

  • How to crop & print specific sizes in Aperture

    I have a project I am working on where I need to make a series of prints that are flush-mounted onto boards that are 2.25"x5". I want to take images from my Aperture library, crop the long and skinny portion from them them, and print them out on my Inkjet printer (single prints on 4x6's on my Canon 6220 for tests, but I am going to want to print multiple-up prints on 5x7 paper once I get going as I need 10-20 copies of each print). I started by cropping (using the Custom feature) and then using a 4x6 preset in the printer dialog with the image size set to 2.25x5. I, of course, have run into the issue that the crop tool does not crop by inches, but rather pixels, and only in certain aspect ratios. I have tried making an export preset, as some suggested, but that only works if the image is the right size to begin with. By chance, some of my prints are exactly the right size, but mostly they are a bit short or wide...
    How do I make a template or crop guide so that I can crop-out the portion of my image that I want, keeping it in the correct aspect of 2.25x5, and then print it out at the exact size? And then how will I do this as a multiple print job on a single piece of 5x7 paper? Do I need to figure out how many pixels a 2.25x5 print will be? Can I set a custom aspect somehow? I know in PS there is the ability to set the "canvas Size" and work the image into that, but I don't have PS on this machine. I have Pages to work with as well, but no Illustrator or InDesign apps or skills. Ideas?
    Thanks!

    If you select Do not constrain or Custom in the crop tool you can set the crop to any aspect ratio you like. You can either drag the box or enter your dimensions in the tool. Note it won't take decimal points in the dimension boxes so in your case enter 500x225
    The crop tool only reports MP because inches would make no sense here. The image could be exported and printed at any size the crop tool only sets the aspect ration of the image.

  • Need an expert : How to crop some pictures in a Photoshop batch?

    Hi everybody,
    Here is my scripting problem.
    I have scanned a lot of slides and negatives with a specific scanner.
    Before to scan, I haven't limited the image to strict necessary selection.
    In consequence, I have thousands of photos which have 1, 2, 3 or sometime 4 borders black or white around the picture that I would like to delete.
    I would like to obtain some full images without any border (even if a little part of the picture is lost during the operation).
    For me, a manual cropping is too long to realize on each photo.
    I would like to script this action with a photoshop batch...but how to do???
    I don't want to reduce the picture without to be sure that there is some black or white on the border.
    I don't want to sacrifice 10% of the picture if it is not necessary.
    Pictures are not exactly on the same position on each image...it is the problem.
    Is there a function which can detect these borders to crop the picture to the exact maximum size?
    An example is probably better than my poor english...look at example.jpg please (I just would like to obtain the image in the red selection after the script)
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I don't know how to do...
    Laurent

    Hi Paul,
    Your link is very interesting.
    I have done many test with the function Crop and Straighten (in File/Auto) but...this feature doesn't seems to work?!!
    I have tested with 1 and more photos in the zone, with a white or a black background and on a flat image...but the feature doesn't detect any picture?
    I don't understand why.
    Any idea?
    Thank you in advance
    Best Regards

  • How to crop canvas and change aspect ratio?

    I'm working on a project shot with an old camera from the 70s. I used that camera but recorded the signal on my mini dv camera. Now I have a black border on the right side of the image.
    This project is going on the Web, not TV. How can I crop the canvas (and change the aspect ratio) without a black border? I know there's a crop feature in the motion tab, but that results in same aspect ratio with black border. Is this possible?
    (I don't care if the aspect ratio is non-standard, and I don't want to letterbox.)

    If you are going to the web (what means you'll downscale at the end) and you shoot using an old camera, the loss of quality of the upscaling probably means nothing in your final web encoding.
    You can make a test upscaling just some seconds of your movie an encoding it for the web to check the final quality.
    Hope that helps !

  • How to "crop" a masked BMP?

    I have a 'puzzle' with the pieces 'scattered' haphazardly around.  These pieces are all instances of my PTPuzzlePiece.as class, which works great for all intents and purposes.  When the user selects a photo from the picture library, the pieces all properly display their 'masked' portion of the image.   See below:
    However, I have a problem in that the masked bitmap displayed in each piece is only 'masked' and not cropped.  This means that, for instance on the third piece down on the left hand side, 100 not-visible pixels of bitmap extend below the piece and out of the 'framed' area.  This totally throws off my calculations when I go to scale and then print the screen using the AIR PrintJob, and when I scale that 'card' down to a 'button' on the menu where the user chooses which 'card' they wish to use.
    Is there a way to crop the not-visible area out, or copy only the visible pixels as BitmapData into a new Bitmap entity so that the layout is entirely contained within the 'frame'?
    I've poured over the documentation and have come up empty.
    Thanks for any help.

    Puzzled... I thought I had marked it as answered.
    Found this as a possible less exact but more efficient example as it appears that the 'rect' region of all of my pieces is within the 'frame'... if that makes sense.
    var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
    var circle:Sprite = new Sprite();
    var holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
    square.graphics.beginFill(0,.5);
    square.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
    square.graphics.endFill();
    circle.graphics.beginFill(0);
    circle.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,50);
    circle.graphics.endFill();
    addChild(holder);
    holder.addChild(square);
    holder.addChild(circle);
    square.mask = circle;
    var cloneData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(holder.width,holder.height,true,0x00FFFFFF);
    cloneData.draw(holder);
    var clone:Bitmap = new Bitmap(cloneData);
    addChild(clone);
    clone.x = 30;
    I'll see how well I get on with that.  I may in the end be forced to do it pixel by pixel, but I'm hoping not.
    Thanks!

  • How to "crop" a clip

    Hi,
    I need help with the following. I edit medical clips and need to remove the patient's identification data on the edges of the clips. I recently upgraded from Premiere 6 to CS6. In the older version the "CROP" tool covered the cropped area with black and was not useful. The tool to use was "Image PAN" that allowed to keep just a portion of the image and discard the areas outside the "Image pan". I would then export the remainder of the clip to its new size. For instance I would start from a 900 by 720 pixel clip and export the area of interest, such as 480 by 360 pixels. In the image i would like to keep just the area in the red box.
    Any ways to do this in CS6 ? Any step-by-step technique ?
    thanks for any suggestions

    OK, I have to put my two cents worth in here. Either I am completely confused or my old friends on this thread are missing the entire point.
    PJ, I will call you PJ until told your real name because your screen name is just too, well, medical. Nothing personal, but I have trouble with the title Plebotomist as well.
    In any case, I have no idea why anyone would tell you to edit to a certain size when all you have to do is crop the output just before you export it. Now, I must say that I very highly recommend that you export to a frame size where both dimensions are evenly divisible by 8. You don't really want the details, is my guess, so just trust me on that one. 480X360 is a good choice.
    Ah, but how do I crop on export you say?
    Simple.
    I don't have any video with 900X720 frames, so I just copied your image from up above and scaled it up in Photoshop to 900X720.  Make sense so far? Good.
    I imported the scaled up image into Premiere Pro and dropped it on the New button to create a new sequence based on the image.  Still with me?
    Now that I have the image (or clip) on the correct size sequence for my source material, just assume I did whatever you do to put titles on it, or color correct it or whatever and now it is time to export.
    In the Export Settings window that comes up, I move over to click on the Source tab instead of looking at the Output tab. I select the crop tool. Then I use the drop down arrow next to Crop Proportions and choose the 4:3 ratio because you indicated that would be good for you, right? There are many other choices. Try to be careful and size the box to 480X360 so you get a better output. But if that is not the right size, you might want to scale the video up or down a little as required. Or not, if you are happy with the output quality.
    Now click on the Output tab and select "Change Output Size To Match Source". Notice that the frame size over on the right changes to 480X360.
    Sorry about your red lines but as you can see, my output is a perfect 4:3 while your red box is not.
    Now all you have to do is import the FLV file into Flash, put it on a stage and export as SWF. Or export to something Sorenson likes and let Sorenson convert to SWF.
    Simple. Just like I said. Right?
    Now, is that what you really wanted or am I the one who is confused?
