How to re-size a video without both sides moving

Hi
I'm looking for a way to edit a video like how you would edit a photo in photoshop as I would like to only move one side of the video (As in the left or right) and not both of them as im trying to line it up behind a photo.

You can scale in the horizontal direction only, but not a single side individually. You'll have to do the scale and then reposition it, playing with both until it's just right.

How do i rotate a video without clipping off parts of it?

Can someone tell me how to do this? I know how to rotate from the help forums:
Rotate a clip
Select the clip in the Timeline.
In the Effects view, click the Edit Effects button.
Expand the Motion effect in the Properties view, and do one of the following:Drag the underlined value to the right of Rotation.
Click Rotate Left or Rotate Right to rotate the clip 90° in either direction.
But when i do this, it chops off the top and bottom portions of my video. I instructed it to leave video aspect ratio, but it wont do so. It still chops off the top and bottom.
Any suggestions? If it helps, its a .avi movie as recorded from a digital camera.
BTW, my free Google Picasa did this in seconds with no aspet ration change with 1 button.....just sayin'

Matthew,
Actually, it did keep the Aspect Ratio, as it is defined, but instead of a horizontal Aspect Ratio of say 4:3, you now have a vertical Aspect Ratio of 4:3. If it kept the horizontal, your image would be squashed in one dimension and then stretched in the other - not what you would likely want.
What you need to do is now treat your vertical image. In most cases, I find it preferable to use the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, and then effectively crop off parts of the top, or the bottom, or both. This has the disadvantage of having to Scale the image up, and it will begin to degrade in quality, so keep a close eye out for that.
Depending on a few factors, one can use certain artistic treatments to use the vertical image in your horizontal Frame: one could use it as a PiP (Picture in Picture), one could create a background, and just use Motion>Scale to drop the vertical dimension to match the vertical dimension of the Frame, letting the background show on probably both sides. Some videographers will shoot two shots with the camera 90 degrees out of orientation, i.e. on its side, when they want a "split-screen," i.e. PiP with two, side-by-side images, and just Rotate both Clips, and align them in the horizontal frame.
Now, what was your purpose for shooting with the camera on its side? What effect were you trying to obtain?
If this was a mounting issue, such as the camera had to be mounted on its side to get it where it was needed, then the trick is to frame less tightly, knowing that you will be effectively cropping off some of the image, when you Rotate.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I rotate my video without the video going "blank?"

I have Mac OSX 10.7.4
Quicktime is version 10.1
I am using a .mov file I filmed using my iphone. I filmed it sideways to be widescreen, but when I open it on my mac in quicktime, it appears longways instead of sideways. I go to edit- rotate left, and it rotates, but no video plays. The video is black, but the audio still works.
Any advice on how to rotate it and keep my video?
Thanks!

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

How to play Youtube/Hulu videos without disabling hardware acceleration

I have the Acer AspireRevo AR3700 nettop computer. I cannot watch any Youtube or Hulu vidoes without disabling hardware acceleration. I hear sound, but I do not get any video; all I get is a black screen.
The computer has the latest Nvidia Ion processor. One of the major selling points of this computer, along with this particular GPU, is that it can play videos WITH hardware acceleration.
I have searched far and wide on the web and the only solution I can find is to disable hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of having the Nvidia Ion GPU.
Please advise me on how I can get the videos to work without having to disable hardware acceleration. I DO want to take advantage of hardware acceleration, so please do not tell me to simply disable it.
Please help.

How to get OMF Export to include BOTH sides of interleaved files?

How does one get both sides to be included in the OMF?

When I create a new chapter sometimes I get the chapter number with bullets on either side and sometimes I don't. I want to be constant. How do I consistently create bullets on both sides of the Chapter Number?

How do I create bullets on both sides of the Chapter Number? eg. Chapter One with bullets on either side.

K T
I originally started with a template but just erased all the content and built the book using blank pages. Sometimes when I add a chapter it comes up like the example below or it could come up without the bullets. For the life of me, I don't understand why.

How can I permanently clip video without changing filmstrip order?

I have just recently upgraded from LR1.4 to 4.2 (Windows 7 OS) and one of the features I am most excited about is being able to work with video in LR. I started clipping videos but I know LR is non-destructive. This is great for my photography but with videos I am trying to actually make the files smaller by saving only the footage that I want. So I exported to the original folder and figured I could then just delete the original unclipped file and be all set. Only problem is the exported file now appears at the end of my filmstrip since it is dated today. If I stack it it goes with the original file, but since I was planning on deleting the original file that wont help me. This is different from the way photos behave (though I'm not exporting generally there, I'm editing a copy in photoshop, and that keeps the capture time metadata and thus stays in its appropriate spot in the filmstrip). I tried copying metadata from the original file or even manually changing capture time but nothing seems to be effective. Please help!

I use a much, much older iMovie so I don't know exactly how the new one works, but until somebody else replies... It may be re-encoding the whole .mp4 since some formats cannot be edited without doing that, and you would need to check something like format and quality settings to prevent it from saving to a much higher quality which won't actually make the quality any better than the original anyway.

How can I get my videos without pay again ???

I restored my Ipod Video with the Ipod Updater, and then lost some videos that purchased at the ipod store. how can I get without pay again ???

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Restoring erases everything on your iPod. The videos should still be in iTunes though.
If they are not, then unfortunately, you have lost them.
You may want to search the discussions for recovery methods though.

How do I burn raw video without themes?

I just need a video to start playing without the fancy themes (very dry technical video usage so nothing fancy)....how do I do that or with vanilla theme at worst?
I have a macbook 10.4.8
Thanks!

Just to add to OT's advice. There is only one way within iDvd'08 itself to make a DVD with no menu whatsoever...... that's a One Step DVD (See very last option below)
Click Here
This type of DVD will always play in what is called a "Koisk Mode" .... little or no user interaction after inserting the DVD into a computer or set top DVD Player.
Adding a Menu (even a basic one as described above) adds stability to playback and is highly recommended.
Another option is Roxio Toast (third party app) which can also burn a dvd w/o a menu in Kiosk Mode and that will play all movies in succession.
Another approach I often use (w/o using iDvd) to burn raw video is a set top DVD Player Recorder with Digital /FW inputs which I then connection directly to a camcorder / camera (Sony Trv900) via FW/i.Link and the deck writes to DVD-R in real time with a very basic menu that looks like this:

How can I play online videos without many long pauses during play?

I have current flash and 7. Lately, all online videos have many long pauses throughout play. They used to play continuously through. Flash is enabled.
How can I solve this?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
