Image Matte / mask independent of the video applied

    I have a project in which I need to do a 3 or 4-way split screen. While it's easy to set that up and position them at the right places, I cannot seem to find a way with which I could change the scale of the video with an Image Matte applied without changing that of the Matte as well. I can use offset and push the video around "underneath", so to speak, but I would love to be able to scale that video underneath as well. I know that could be done with a layer on top obscuring the video below but I find that rather cumbersome, especially with 4-way or more, adding quite a few more layers.
Any ideas?    

Thank you for the comments and help above. Indeed there're many ways to achieve one effect.
My project is a 15mins cut with a lot of editing. The resulting footage is cutting in and out of 3/4-way splits every now and then. Most footages are at least 10mins long.
1. Nesting
Nesting sequences would generate a huge number of nested sequences (which is already the case due to a few multi-cam moments).
2. Putting clips into its own sequences
Again, I would have to go into the sequences and find the exact moment where I need to do the zooming and such.
Ideally, I would love to be able to:
1. Create a preset of the each 'way' of splitting for individual clips. For example, in a 4-way split, presets for Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left and Bottom Right. And then I can just drop one of these effects onto a clip.
2. scale the clip freely without going into another sequence or nested sequence. The matte stays there without being scaled
Sometimes I have nested sequence of anthoer nested sequence. It's just a project nightmare after a while. Anyway, well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thanks!

  • How to Secure or mask the Video Streaming on Azure Blob Storage

    I have a problem on using my Azure Blob Storage, this is for streaming specifically MP4 files.
    I have a wordpress site and I use Azure Blob Storage for my Storage, I use CloudberryExplorer for my browsing and editting
    My problem is that, the wordpress site Video Option which is MediaElemtJs have an exposed Video Source (This mean they can use the video source for their own project)
    Is their a way to mask or hide the video source? or I can limit the video source that it should only be coming from my site

    hi Franz,
    Base on my experience, there has two approaches for this issue.
    1.Using the SAS in js request.
    Like this:
    <source src="https://MY-AZURE-STORAGE.blob.core.windows.net/asset-b1ebfc63-4e1f-4c76-b2dd-b040113aa493/MigratingWebSitesAndDatabasesToWindowsAzure_mid.mp4?sv=2012-02-12&st=2013-09-03T17%3A17%3A20Z&se=2015-09-03T17%3A17%3A20Z&sr=c&si=efc57c3c-a025-41cd-a8b1-908231c7aed2&sig=xyiIxmqNdF%2Bo1x7eq89xCUgXkenZLEEpq%2B%2Bo715dT0U%3D" type="video/mp4">
    Please see this blog:http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1/
    You could set the start time,expire time  and permission into your request. And you could use javascript to create the request and set src value. please see this sample (http://gauravmantri.com/2013/02/16/uploading-large-files-in-windows-azure-blob-storage-using-shared-access-signature-html-and-javascript/
    2.Create a web handler to handle the request url
    You could create a .ashx page and handle the url in .ashx page. Like this:
    <video src="videos.ashx?source=file.mp4" width="640" height="480" controls></video>
    Please try it.
    Also, you could see this threads

  • Changing the linked image for the Image Matte Key doesn't work

    When I change the linked image for the Image Matte Key in Photoshop, the link does not change in my Premiere Pro CS6. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times going into the Image Matte Key setting and locating the new matte in Explorer (each time having to re-locate the folder that the matte is in) to see it within the premier monitor. Any suggestions?

    Hi
    The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
    Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
    Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

  • Image matte key: batch processing possible?

    Hello again,
    I have a question concerning batch processing with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I would like to apply an image matte key to about 30 videos. The matte doesnt change, neither does the background photo.
    I would like to know if there's a way to apply this to all the videos at the same time.
    I have only been able to apply it to one video at a time, which means that I would have to do the same process 30 times. Because I have about 12 sets of background photos, I would have to do it about 360 times in the end. So batch processing would really help...
    I need the videos to be seperate in the end (360 videos).
    I hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    Check to see if this works:
    Create and Import your Matte into PrPro. Place it on the desired Video Track, and then extend its Duration for all Clips on that Timeline. Apply the Track Matte Keying to the first Clip, and make the attributes adjustments to it. Rt-click that Clip, and choose Copy. Then lasso all other Clips in that Track, Rt-click on them and choose Paste Attributes. Does that work?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - not sure if a Nested Sequence would also do what you want.

  • How to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Premier Pro CS5

    Hi
    I have a video captured from a flipcam. I have Adobe Premier Pro CS5 and I don't have  any knowledge of Adobe Premier Pro CS5 . Please can some one post a tutorial as how to blur the face of the person in the video using Adobe Master Collection CS5
    Any help will be grateful .
    Thanks

    You are not really in the right place.  I don't think you can edit video with Photoshop CS5, but Premier Pro CS5 can definitely do it.  Off the top of my head, copy the video track on the timeline, (hold down the Alt/Opt key and drag).
    Then Effects > Video Effects > Stylize > Mosaic.
    Adjust number of blocks in Effects controls.
    Then add Video effects > Keying > Four point matte
    Adjust position of matte in effects controls.
    If you want the matte to track with the video, move to start point on time line and adjust position.  Move to end point and edit position.  Matte will now move from one point to the other.
    If you want more and better help, go to the Prem Pro forum.

  • How to create a text area for a blog that scrolls independent of the webpage.

    I want to create a boxed area (Middle 2/3 of page) with text in muse that scrolls up and down independently of the webpage itself. I am trying to create a blog posting on the page and the reader can scroll down on the text but the page (background image) stays static. See Shades link for example. This is a retail store using the same function for posting product.

    i'm trying to do the same thing, but with a section of images that scrolls independently of the rest of the page. i haven't found any way to achieve this yet, but i will keep looking and update you if i find anything. good luck!

  • Masks:  Ain't as easy as the video!

    I'm looking for some help... I just watched this great online tutorial video:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-speedgrade-cs6/adding-impact-to-your-footage-with-speedgra de-cs6/  However, my experience is NOT matching that of the video.
    I think something is "set up" incorrectly in my program.  My save "folders" are red, and not white.  I'm not getting the icon for "inside/outside" the mask.  Changes are NOT registering.
    I'm nearly possitive it's operator error! 
    Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Hey Brian,
    yes one Mask per Layerstack / Grading Layer (TL)
    So if you want to do a vignette Over your Overall Grading
    >Create Mask
    >add Another Primary
    >Offset + Choose In-/Outside
    Same when isolating Areas in the secondary:
    >create a matte
    >create mask
    >choose inside Mask
    Hope that helps.

  • When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static! Please Help!

    When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static. As opposed to moving around in order to compensate for my movement, which exposes black edges. That is what I am trying to get. Please help
    These are the steps I follow. Import clip > Library > Behaviours > Motion > Stabilize. I then add the stabilize > go to inspector and change method to smooth and finally, analyze. However, it is not doing anything. My Macbook Pro was recently replaced and this is what I recall doing on my previous one, but it doesnt seem to be working for me. Is there a step im missing or something?
    Thanks for any help!

    Smooth is just going to smooth out a little "jitter" or jerkiness in the footage. Unless there is a lot of camera movement, you won't notice much. If you really want to see Motion go to work, change the Method to Stabilize.
    BTW, once the footage is analyzed, you can make any changes you want to any of the other parameters - you don't have to re-analyze. I recommend Stabilize with Adjust: Position Scale and Rotation and Borders set to Zoom (depending on the quality of the video) — or you might consider adding a mask to the group the stabilized video is in

  • How do I make still Images the same size as the video when importing? CS5

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem importing and using still images as they are so large.
    The video is 720 x 576 and the image I want to use is 4752 x 3168
    How can I scale it down to fit with the video. Currently it just zooms in to a part of the picture making it pretty useless.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How can I lower the image quality on a streaming online video

    Hi,
    I have an old iMac G3 with 500 Mhz Power PC and 1 gig of RAM  and running Tiger OS 10.4.11
    I am trying to watch online streaming news through http://www.rentadrone.org but it is, of course, jerky playback.
    My issue is that adobe flash will not let me change the quality of the video to low because the option is grayed out.
    I know that this iMac was prior to videos becoming common online and I know that I have to sacrifice video quality.
    I can play youtube videos well, as in not jerky, in the 240 image quality and wanted to be able to do this through
    other websites with video. I have disabled Dashboard to gain CPU, tried to play the video through Realplayer and
    changed my Display from millions of color to thousands but I haven't been able to stop the jerking on the video.
    Is there a workaround or other solution?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.

    Each video website has its own controllers over how much choice you have over quality of streaming.
    However, as you use Real Player, you could wait until the video finishes downloading, then click 'Download' in the RealPlayer Download Agent window and watch it offline, when it should play smoother.

  • How can I edit a still image so that I can float it over the video?

    I would like to edit a still image so that I can float it over the video - How would I save the image in Photoshop so that just the image and not the background can be imported into Final Cut and the footage behind it still shows up?
    Thanks

    You need to either create an Alpha channel or cut out the area of interest and paste it into a transparent Photoshop document. You can save the former as PSD, TIFF or PNG. Save the latter as TIFF with transparency enabled (shows up in TIFF Options at step 2 of the save dialog).

  • How do I cut an image in half and move the halves independently?

    How do I cut an image in half, and move the halves independently?

    Use the rectangular marquee tool to select half the image, then Layer>New Layer via cut. You can turn on the rulers and set a guide so you'll know the boundaries you want if you need it to be exactly half.
    If you want to also be able to move the other half, before you start double click the background layer in the layers panel to turn it to a regular layer.

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.
