How to resize video to fit in safe area in Adobe Encore

Hi guys,
Is there any way that my 1024x768 quicktime video be resized to fit the safe area (without using premiere to re-render) using Adobe encore? I've been looking for a solution as to how I can resize my video because when I play it on a dvd player some areas get cropped out and they actually do have inline text. Thing is, I can't edit the video anymore so the only file I have is the 1024x768 one and re-rendering it again via premiere will really take a long time since it's a 30 minute video. Thanks heaps

Exporting to AVI will lead to one generation loss for all the parts that need rendering. The advantage of doing it this way is you can let Encore decide on the best encoding settings. The drawbacks are the generation loss (which is nearly unnoticeable) and the fact that you only have 2.0 sound. If you have the Surcode plug-in and export from PP you avoid the generation loss and can export 5.1 sound. Both advantages, but it requires some careful planning and the use of a bitrate calculator to get the best settings for your movie. However if your movie is less than one hour just encoding at 8 Mbps CBR negates that. The calculator is only necessary for movies longer than one hour.
Another disadvantage of exporting to AVI is the added storage requirement and the extra time to create it.

  • Why don't still images scale to fit the safe areas of the frame?

    Why doesn't Encore offer offer more flexibility for scaling images in slideshows. Yeah, I know it's very cool that it does a scale, but I want everybody who watches my dvd to be able to see ALL of my image. For those who own standard televisions, they won't be able to see the whole image unless I pan and zoom, and even then I have to time the pan correctly.
    Programmers, please add a feature so that users have more control over scaling.
    Thanks,
    Laz!

    Said this dozens of times, and will doubtless say it dozens of times more.
    There are 2 issues at play here.
    1 - Encore is an authoring app, not an editor, and as such it is down to you to prepare your assets correctly.
    2 - a standard TV will always crop the images - they overscan. the same image in a progressive scan system will display fully.
    So, what you need to do is decide what you need to create your images at, and if you use Photoshop, After Effects or Premiere, then you can use the title safe/Action safe overlays to scale things yourself.
    It has to be done this way, as not all TV sets overscan to the same degree - as I just said, Progressive Scan systems and LCD/Plasma screens don't overscan at all.
    This is what the safe areas are for.

  • How to resize videos?

    Hi,
    I've made a couple of videos using imovie. Format is 4:3.
    They play well in imovie (or VLC) but when I've burned a dvd using iDVD - using 4:3 format again - a big portion of the video has gone outside the visible area.
    How can i address this?
    thanks,
    Patrick

    When you say "resize" do you really mean selecting the proper aspect ratio?
    I'm assuming you already tried this:
    Switching between standard and widescreen formats
    You can change the format of your project from standard video format (4:3) to widescreen (16:9), or from widescreen to standard.
    Here are ways to change the project format:
    Choose Project > Project Info, and then select Standard (4:3) or Widescreen (16:9) from the Aspect Ratio pop-up menu.
    Choose Project > “Switch to Standard (4:3)” or “Switch to Widescreen (16:9).”
    Click here
    if that fails then you can try adding your movie/s to the slideshowshow editor and make sure TV Safe is selected or checked w/in iDvd's preferences.
    click here
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • How to resize photo to fit screen without loosing proportions?

    I am in the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation and it will basically consist of photos, some text and a music background.  I want the photos to fill my computer screen, so when I am in Elements 5, I am going to Image menu and then to resize - Image Size, and changing the pixel dimensions here.  My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels and I am trying to resize my photos to 1280 x 1024 so that they will perfectly fill the entire monitor when the PowerPoint presentation is played.  The problem is that when I go to resize the photos, I have to leave the Constrain Proportions options unchecked so that I can manually and freely enter the values I want for both the Width and the Height to match my monitor dimensions.  When my photo is resized using this method, the proportions get thrown off and the picture looks a little funny.  But if I check mark the Constrain Proportions option, then I will only be able to enter a value for one of the dimensions since Elements will automatically figure the other dimension for me.  This way the proportions look fine, but the photo may not completely fill the screen the way I would like.
    Is there some kind of work-around for this seeming catch-22 type of problem??
    Thanks,
    Lee

    That's great about being able to use px (pixels) as the unit of measurement regarding the cropping tool.  I will be playing around with this.  Thanks for this great bit of information.
    Real quick on my question regarding the original proportion of the photo.  I am sorry about the confusion here.  In my initial question I had mentioned how I had tried to resize my photo(s) by using the Image - Resize - Image Size command from the main menu and was not able to check the Constrain Proportions option because I needed to enter both values for the Width and Height to match my screen size in pixels.  But when I did that, I lost the original proportion of the photo and it looked funny and such.  People's faces were thinner and longer than they should have been etc...  So when you started talking about using the crop tool to get my photo to the same pixel dimensions as my screen, I am just asking if the photo can maintain its original proportions, or might I be running into the same problem I had before when I was using the Image - Resize command.  I am not talking about loosing my original photo, I am making all these changes to a copy of the original photo so my original is protected and safe.  Maybe I should be calling it the aspect ratio.  I am wondering if after I make these changes with the crop tool, can I also still maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo?  Because this was my original problem, I was contorting the photo due to the aspect ratio changing.  I hope I am using the right terms here being more clear?

  • How Much Video Can Fit on a DVD Burned in Encore???

    Hi there,
    I'm hoping the always helpful adobe community can help me with a question I've had for a while. I am using Adobe Production Suite CS4 and frequently making DVDs in Encore. I am filming with a Canon XH-A1 camera, capturing with HDV Split, and importing the footage into premiere where it is recognized as being .M2T files and 1440x1080.
    I am wondering how much video I can dynamic link into Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality? Is there someway to tell within Encore, or is there a rule of thumb on which to go by? How about for Blu-Rays?
    Also, given the answer to the question above, is there a way to make longer DVDs while maintaining the same high quality - such as with Dual-Layers? I don't know much about Dual Layers or much on this topic in general, so any info would be greatly appreaciated.   
    Thanks in advance,
    Aaron

    >Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality?
    There is no such thing as 100% quality when you go from HD to the SD that is on a DVD
    Read the Tutorial HD to SD w/CS4 http://bellunevideo.com/tutorials/CS4_HD2SD/CS4_HD2SD.html for ideas
    As to how much you may fit at "high" quality... that all depends on the subject matter
    A soccer game with a lot of fast action will require a higher bitrate setting and take more space than a speaker standing still at a podium
    There is no one answer
    Yes, you may fit more on a dual layer DVD... I think that is discussed in the user guide
    The individual CS5 pages also have links to the CS4 user guide pages
    CS5 User Guides - online and PDF (see link in upper right corner at individual pages)

    Put your videos in a folder and sync iPhone with iTunes, "Photos" tabpreviously selected "Sync photos" and checked the box next to "videos include" I understand you do not have Mac, but with a PC can do the same, with this you will reel and your videos can be edited withiMovie on your iPhone.

  • 640 by 480 video fitting into tv safe area

    How do you get 640 by 480 video to fit in tv safe area?
    There's documentation on scaling slides to the tv safe area; there's documentation on scaling the menu to the tv safe area. Uh, what about fitting the VIDEO to the tv safe area?
    I'm doing a project in imovie with 640 by 480 mpeg 4 clips.

    If you absolutely must ensure that everything in your video is visible on a TV, then you'd have to put a border around the video so the TV overscanning just hides the border. For most viewers, however, they won't notice the lost edge of the video because the action is happening in the TV safe area.
    I don't know an easy way to put a border around your video in iMovie (perhaps one of the picture in picture plugins??), but I'd try the standard process and see if the results are reasonable. Note that adding the border will necessarily make your video smaller.
    If anyone has shown an iMovie on an LCD TV, could you comment whether the CRT-TV overscanning is eliminated?

    Hi Miron,
    You are best off taking the image into Preview or Photoshop and resizing it to match your framesize. You could use a button and resize that but it is not economical or pretty.

    In what way do you want to resize the image? Are you
    importing graphics that you want to resize when you import them at
    runtime? Do you want to resize the images to a specific size or
    relative to one imported image? Or do you want to resize one or

  • How to maintain video quality after resizing?

    I have a 640 x 360 px video that I want to resize to fit a 480 x 270 px flash movie. When I resize the video to fit the smaller stage the image quality suffers, it looks like low res. When I crop to fit, it looks fine. Is there a way to maintain image quality when reducing size?

    I have nothing on this computer aside from Adobe and a few other audio apps. This is a dual Xeon 6GB system. I work in IT and am MS certified. I do not think it is the system. I am using AE CS6. =A0Keyboard is set to its defaults. I do not touch the keyboard mappings. The effect brings the clip down to 10% or so. How should it be resized? SHift - click and drag works in all of my apps like Photoshop, so it isnt the kb or the system. Is that the way it is supposed to be done in AE? If you have AE, are you able to try this to see what I mean?

  • Cannot get video to fit in the binding box

    Hiya!
    I'm still pretty knew to Premier Pro and all it's things. I've been fiddling with it off and on for the past few years and it worked perfectly in all that time. But NOW, of all times, I can't seem to get it to do what I want.
    I'm trying to get my video to fit in the black binding box where you watch the video (sorry, I don't know the name for it...). When I first import it and drag it to my workstation it's really blown up and when I try to resize it I get black margins around the video.
    I made it happen by accident...once. And because it was an accident I have NO idea how to duplicate it. If someone can help me out that would be awesome!~
    I've added a picture so you can see what I'm talking about (my accident compared to what I normally get).
    This is my accident, and what I'm trying to get to.
    This is what happens when I import a video and drag it into the workspace.
    And this is what I get when I attempt to resize the video to fit. See the black bands at the top and bottom of the video?

    What John said - however, be sure to make a new sequence from a VIDEO clip being used in the production, and not from a graphic/still image which may of radically different size and proportions! If your still image does not fit the Program window, right-click the clip and choose "Scale to Frame" and that will make it fit. However, if the proportions are not the same, you can still expect black bars. In that case, use the Motion effect and adjust scaling as needed to make it fit the window if need be.

  • Resizing video in muse lightbox

    Hey,
    I've been working on a video site and I'm using lightbox.
    Two things
    1- every time I try to resize the video to fit it doesn't do it.  In fact it brings in the video smaller.
    Any thoughts on how to get this widget to behave.
    2- I'd like to just have a wall of thumnails and a video on top... rather than the lightbox.  Which widget is great for video?
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,!!!
