How to resize project without losing the image resolution?

I am trying to resize a project that recorded in 1271 x 768
px to 800 x 483 px. I did it by clicked 'Project' > 'Resize
Project...'. But after resize, the resolution of the movie is not
clear, became blur. How to resize the project so that I'll have
clearer movie? Thanks.

Hi obtis and welcome to our community
Unfortunately, there is little you may do to avoid this. The
best way to avoid it is to simply record initially at the size you
need so you don't have to use the Resize function.
Here's the deal. Captivate stores images in the project as
bitmapped images. Otherwise known as "raster" images. Basically
they are a mosaic that comprises the picture. Initially, all is
well and is crystal clear. But when you scale down a raster or
bitmapped image, you are simply moving all the picture elements
(PixEls) closer together. They overlap and the computer will
calculate new values for what color they should be. Depending on
how much you are resizing, the clarity drop can be acceptable or
horribly bad. The more you resize smaller the worse it gets.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

    Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products.
    So, you can have both on the same computer, but only open one for your work.
    The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it was created since there
    is no guarantee that a project from an earlier version will open in the later version. Probably will, but
    no guarantees. And, when you do explore this, do it from a copy of the earlier version project. Once you
    take the earlier version project into a later version one, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited
    project in the earlier version program.
    If you have both versions (9 and 13) on the same computer and you have not moved, deleted, renamed any of the version 9's files/folders,
    right click the saved closed Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project file, select Open With, and then Adobe Premiere Elements 13.
    (Your 9.0/9.0.1 saved closed project file should be found in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0.)
    Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Thank you.

  • I had to recreate my itunes library and now, when i tried to sync my ipod, i got a warning that everything currently on my ipod would be cleared; how do i sync without losing the information currently on my ipod?

    Recently I was forced to recreate my entire iTunes library.  My computer shut down unexpectedly and when I restarted it, my iTunes library was gone from the iTunes software.  After *finally* receiving some information from iTunes support about restoring the library (which meant I had to do exactly what I was afraid I would have to do--basically click-and-drag the entire contents from my hard drive back into the library), I wanted to update my iPod with the songs I'd added since the last updating.  And this is where more trouble began.
    When I plugged in my iPod to sync it with the library, I got a warning message informing me that the library currently on the iPod would be cleared during the syncing, because the iPod can only be associated with "one" library.  Well, I did NOT want to do that because I wanted to retain the playcount and other information about the songs.  I was also hoping to keep the playlists currently on the iPod.
    So, my first instinct was to contact iTunes support.  The only problem there was that going through the Support pages ended up with my needing to call Apple.  I'd attempted that when I first lost the library and was told by the Support associate that ALL iTunes help and support must be done online.  Ironic, huh?  I can't get iTunes support online until I call Apple support to get a direct web address to take me to the express lane help pages.  And, unfortunately, I made the mistake of uninstalling and reinstalling my AOL software and lost ALL of my e-mails with the iTunes support addresses in the process. 
    So basically, I need to know what to do here.  Is there a way to keep the current iTunes library on my iPod and still syncing with the recreated library or do I just need to accept the loss of the library currently on my iPod?  I may try to call Apple Support and get that iTunes online support address again but I'd really like to get this resolved more quickly.  The last time that I called and then I got the iTunes online help address, it ended up taking 2 days to get that help.

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Is there any way to make an image smaller to upload to a site which says it will resize it to fit an 649 pixel without losing the sides which contain words

    How to scale down without cutting the edges out of a poem so that it will fit a 649 pixel size which the site I'm uploading it to says it will resize it down to ?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank you,
    SeanCeltiad

    See my own reply, and Thank you for trying to help me. It was not letting me "scale the original scanned pic down in pixel size without cutting off the edges and since this was a poem I was wanting to upload to a site which said it would have to put it up with a 649 W( I assume pixel is what they meant ) since when I tried it-it was too large for the window into which I was dragging it. But as I said, I was able to do it using my printer/scanners profile settings for photo's down from 200% to 150% which worked perfectly.
    So, Thank you Michael for taking the time to assist me and if anyone else is having the same trouble using iPhoto '09 you could suggest this possibility.

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

  • Converting a Signed 16 bit colour Image to 32 bit Image without Losing the Colour

    Hi,
    I am using the IMAQColourHistogram which only accepts 32 bit image inputs. I changed the Image from 16 bit to 32 bit using 'Cast Image'. The program worked but inserting an indicator, I realised that the Cast Image actually changes the Color in the image to a black and white Image. Is there a way I can change the 16 bit to 32 bit without losing the colour. 
    Any suggestions on this would be very helpful as I am currently stuck in my project.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Is your 16bit image a real color image or only a grayscale image with a false color palette?
    If your image is only a grayscale image, simply use the IMAQHistogram function  (located in the Analysis palette) wich accepts 8 and 16bit images.
    Color images are 32bit because you have 3 planes of 8 bit (Red, Green, Blue)
    16bit are not usually color images, but grayscale image with extended pixel depth compared ti traditionnal 8bit images.

  • How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

    I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
    If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
    I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
    here the link of the example:
    FOR MUSE STAFF

    Hi
    This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
    Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.
    Thanks,

  • How do i connect my ipod to a new computer without losing the songs on my..

    I bought a new computer and I've installed itunes on it. I want to transfer all the songs on my ipod to itunes on my new computer. How can i do this without losing the songs on my ipod? Can anyone help me?

    scottydubs,
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my device?

    How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently?  Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my actual phone?  I'm concerned that the sync feature will remove the pictures from the cloud when they are deleted from my phone.
    Thanks for the help.

    Can I back up iPhoto to the cloud via some apple service (iCloud)
    No
    or do I need to use something else?  If so, any recommendations?
    An external hard disk:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

    I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

    The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
    Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
    That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
    See A4 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Factory reset.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
