How to make HD video smaller! HELP!

OK...so I bought an HD camera and the quality is SICK!Almost a bit too sick...After I am done editing and I export using quicktime conversion to .MOV the video is HUMONGOUS!
When I say humongous I do not necessarily mean the size of the file...I'm actually talking about the dimensions of the video.
SO, how do I make the video smaller from FCE?...I mean the actual video's original size smaller (not how to zoom out on quicktime, that is obvious) I mean how to have the video size smaller.
Thanks.
-John

There are way, way too many variables to answer that question. It's meaningless without knowing what your video is, action, dialog, animation, music, speech, one minute, one hour, and without knowing you're trying to do. People have written whole books on the subject of compression. You might try a google search for video compression. Look for what you're trying to compress for, where you're trying to get to.

  • Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
    Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
    NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

  • Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

    Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
    You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
    It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

    how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
    I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
    Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
    Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
    Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
    Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
    An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

  • How to make the video looks greenish ?

    Hi there,
    Can I know how to make a video looks bit greenish ?
    Thanks

    Thanks Karsten,
    Can I know, if I have about 60 cuts on the timeline and I want all the 60 cuts to be greenish, how do I apply to all at one go (instead of having to do one by one for 60 times !) ?
    Thanks again

  • How to make a photo small so I can send it by e-mail

    want to know how it make a photo small on my desktop so I
    can send it by e-mail, thank you

    I suppose there might be an extension, but you would be better off using a free photo editor.
    I use "IrfanView" (irfanview.com) to work with photographs.
    I use "PicPick" (picpick.org) to work from a screen print ("PrtSc") or capture to crop and annotate.
    *Also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Posting_a_screenshot_on_the_forum#Windows
    *also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    Something simpler may or may not be:
    :Picnik (picnik.com), online photo editing, fix photos, crop, resize, rotate, artsy effects, fonts, shapes.
    You also have alternatives storing the picture and./or elsewhere and providing a link
    * imageshack.com
    * dropbox.com
    If you have access to the image through Firefox, this extension looks promising
    *ResizR :: Add-ons for Firefox (10 KB)<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/resizr/
    Saving files to your desktop is not the best place.

  • How to make a video for YouTube

    Does anyone know how to make a short video on a Macbook, to put on YouTube?

    For direct recording into YouTube or other Flash based video web sites, use Flash Settings to select between available microphones and cameras.
    If you uneed help, see Adobe's microphone suppport info at http://tinyurl.com/3e5cnl  Adobe Help for selecting your webcam is here: http://tinyurl.com/4pswu9
    Only external (Firewire) iSight (out of production for several years) has a built-in microphone.  If your Mac has a built-in iSight, it also has a separate, built-in, USB Mic.
    Either kind of microphone can be selected in your  > System Preferences > Sound > Input settings.
    If you want to use an external iSight with a Mac that also has a USB mic for some purpose other than recording directly into YouTube or another Flash based web site, you can usually select which mic to use depending on your desired purpose.
    Many apps that can recognize multiple microphones allow you to select which micriphone either via a menu choice or the app's speparate Preferences... settings.  As one example, here is how to select a mic in QuickTimeX:
    Each app works its own way, and some apps can only access the curreent System Preference setting.
    A side note for other readers who are using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.x:  Neither FaceTime Version 1.1 (258) from OS X 10.7.1 nor the current Version 1.1.1 (262) from OS X 10.7.2 can use external iSight's Firewire mic.   The firewire camera works, but the Fireiwire mic is not available for selection in FaceTime > Video.

  • How to make a video stop in flash through an external button

    Hi everyone!
    I have a little problem: I made a flash site with its
    different sections, the first of which has a movie clip which is a
    "VideoPlaylist". So inside this movie clip I have the player and
    the videos sequenced one after the other in a TileList component.
    The problem is:
    When I go to a different page, the video in the first page
    continues to play and so you can still hear the sound, AND WHICH IS
    WORSE, when you click the button to return to the first page, the
    video starts again with the sound of the previous time still
    rolling.
    The solution would be, I suppose, when clicking to any of the
    buttons that link to another section of the flash document, add
    some action script to make the video stop (having in mind that the
    video player is inside a movie clip).
    I don't know action script, just the navigation basics
    necessary for the sections. I did the videoplaylist following this
    tutorial:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html
    Can anyone help me, please!!

    You better ask in the Flash forum; this is the Flash Player forum.

  • How to make the letters smaller in email?

    when I go to emails, all the letters are so large that only about 4 or 5 emails can be there at one time.
    need to know how to make them smaller.

    You can always try using [Ctrl]+[-], but that's gonna decrease all fonts sizes on the website you have your email at.
    Also, if you're using a laptop, you can try putting your thumb and your index finger on the touchpad and closing the distance between them. I'm not sure if that works on websites too, but it definitely works in email clients.

    hi
    <b>Enhancement using Append structures</b>
        Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
    Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
    structure.
    Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
    Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
        Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
    The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP
