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 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.

Easy Question about resizing video

I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
In my old program "Premiere', to resize and move a video around was very easy. You could adjust the scale and X-Y values numerically, or you could use a Free Transform like in Photoshop. Simply dragging bounding boxes for size and aspect and also dragging the clip to decide it's location.
The only way I know how to do this in FCP is I double click a clip in the sequence, it loads into the viewer, I go to the Motion Tab and then I can adjust the Scale, which is cool. But then I'm left with the Distort section to adjust position (and aspect if need be). In the Distort section there are 8 numeric fields of info to figure out and fill out just to get one clip in a different position correctly.
I'm thinking there must be another way to adjust the location (or aspect) of a video clip without spending a bit of time on exact coordinates, I want to eye-ball where I want the clip to go and simply move it there. Is the Distort feature the only way to do this? If not, which is the fastest way to move and change the dimension of a clip.
Thanks for reading, I hope there is another way, I'm not use to these calculations and they're slowing me down.

I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
That's because it's not a simple question at all and yet every one of those threads was related to the OP's question. As you discovered, there are lots of ways to interpret "resize," during capture, editing, effects, output, viewing, encoding, printing. But the solution was even simpler than you thought. All you had to do was open the manual or the online help system. Start taking the manuals to the gym with you. FCP is not Premiere. You're going to hate FCP, you're going to love FCP but it will never behave like Premiere beyond the elements of the functional paradigm. Forget Premiere.

Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges/lines in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
does anyone have any idea ?
Thanks in advence ...

Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
Take a representaive clip into a new sequence. Add a title.
In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
After rendering, export QT self contained.
Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
Submit burn and check quality on TV.
Good luck.

I know it is a little bit late to reply. But, I still want to share my experiences with everyone here.
Actually, I have ever also ahs the same issue and need to resize my C drive partition for installing a large game. But, the resizing process just unexpectedly fails at last in Disk Management. The “extend” function is unable to work.
So, I have no choice but to take chances with some third party partition resizer recommended in many forums such as:

IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free

Active Partition Manager

All of them seem efficient. So, I just have tried them one by one and finally added wanted free space to my C drive successfully with the second free resizer. I even have found a video tutorial that teaches me how to resize my drive with

Is there any way to resize videos that were done in a larger format?

I recently took several videos and didn't realize that in order to send them, I had to change the size to QVGA. After several frustrating attempts to send by phone and email, I gave up. My question is this: Is there anyway to downsize a video after it is recorded in a larger format? I tried video editing apps and they didn't work at all as far as resizing. Any help will be appreciated as these videos cannot be redone. Thank you.

Hey,
Check out the article below. It might give you some ideas.

Resizing Videos

Ok, I didn't know where to post this...so if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please, sombody point me in the right direction. Ok, well I'm trying to resize my videos that are in iPhoto. I want to make them (I know it's a funny sizing, but trust me) 128 x 128 pixels. I don't have Quick Time Pro and don't want to buy it. So...how do I resize my videos?
Thanks!

OK.
Sounds like fun and I'm game for some hacking.
So. Sims 2 allows you to use up to 128X128 file size. Do they say that "video" is allowed? Maybe something that fits on a Sims TV set?
If only image formats are used there are a few QT tricks I can pass on.
Open the "video" and position the playhead to the frame you wish to "capture".
Open the Movie Info window and note the dimensions.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys as you drag the "grow window" (lower right corner of the Player window) toward the center of the image. You'll see that you can make a rectangle into a square!
Once sized to 128X128 you can now "Copy" (even the free player) the newly sized image to the Mac "Clipboard".
Open any image editing app (I use GraphicConverter), make a new "blank" canvas size at 128X128 and "paste". Save in a format that the Sims software requires.
If you own QT Pro you could also use "Save As" on this newly resized video, name this new file and import or convert it to a format accepted by the Sims software.
You could also use third party software to actually "crop" the video to the needed dimensions. MPEG Streamclip (free) is my tool of choice.
Hope any of this helps. Post a screen shot if it actually works.

Hi
Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

How to delete video from iTunes library

Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
..one more question.
I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
Thanks for the quick responses.

How to resize a jpg/gif file to a fix size using jimi ?

I have search from the web and didn't find any example on doing this.
Can any one give example on how to resize a jpg image. let say 120x240
to a fixed size 40x40 ?
thank you

Hi.
When you got that image in form of a file, just load it and invoke the image's getScaledInstance(...)-method.
Here's how it could work:
import java.awt.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
// define where the image comes from:
URL toImage = new URL("file:/C:/test.jpg"); // or the like
// get the image:
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(toImage);
// scale the image to target size (40x40 here):
Image smallImage = image.getScaledInstance(40, 40, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
// you might want to do other things like displaying it afterwards
}HTH & cheers,
