Image size and/or cropping with iMovie 9

I have a video in .mov format that was created by Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD software. The movie is a copy of a 4:3 aspect ratio videotape. When I review the clips from this movie in iMovie, the size and aspect ratio are identical to the original. However, when I move the clips into an iMovie project, the aspect ratio appears to be the same but all of the edges are severely cropped (it's like one used a zoom feature on the image). I get the same result whether I select 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio for the project. I have also had this experience with iPhoto -cropping occurs on any photo being printed or exported. I can convert the .mov into a video DVD or any format, without aspect ratio change cropping. But, that conversion doesn't allow me to edit the .mov.
How do I solve this problem?

I wish someone could answer this. I'm having the same problem. I imported video from my digital tape camera using iMovie (automatically saved as .dv files). In the clip viewer of iMovie (lower right part of iMovie), they appear whole. But when I drag into a project, the clips are severely cropped, just like the original post describes. It doesn't matter if I set the project to 16:9, 4:3, or 3:2 - the same cropping occurs.
What's up with this?

  • Image size and stacking problem with FF12 even in safe mode. Images are 5x the right size and overlayed on top of other pictures or text. how to fix?

    OK this problems limited to Facebook only. When logged in FF12 the entire page is scrambled. The pictures are stacked over each other and are 5 to 6 times the size their supposed to be. I have tried everything I could think of to fix this it even runs like this when in safe mode. I have uninstalled all plugins and all extensions I have uninstalled and even tried back dating FF. it's still so massively out of proportion that you can't do anything. .even when zoomed out 3x it's so large the pictures are larger than my screen. They are still overlapped so bad you can't do a thing with it. Even worse I uninstalled and installed pale moon and the effects migrated to that browser as well. Only browser I found unaffected by this is IE. Lord knows I don't wanna ever have to go that rout so I'm asking for help. I have a whole list of parsing errors and decoration drops, to many to post. any help would be much appreciated until it's fixed I'm stuck with IE. Chrome wont work with the software I run only IE or FF will.

    -> press '''CTRL''' + '''0''' (zero) to '''Reset''' Zoom

    Check and tell if its working.

  • How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

    Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution.  each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

    There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
    You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
    Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
    Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

  • Image size and type

    what Icon / Image size and type we should use of our own menu ?
    Giuseppe

    Hi Giuseppe,
    I'm not sure what restrictions there are on image type but I always use a 24bit Bitmap image with width 18px and height 14px. For transparency, set the background colour to RGB 192-220-192 and SBO will automatically make this area transparent, regardless of the colour scheme the user has on the client.
    Kind Regards,

  • Image Sizes and Resolution standards?

    are there any standards for image sizes and resolution for mobile games specifically: backgrounds and backdrops?
    i will be porting my game for various cell phones and i'd like to resize images to fit perfect on all cell phone screens, so what would be the best way to do this and what should my image attributes (height, width) be?
    i've tried researching on google to see if there were any standards and couldn't seem to find any. if these standards are non-existent what image sizes have you used that you found worked best on various mobile phones?
    thanks
    Edited by: sassy on Jun 2, 2008 1:49 PM

    Google's right, there are no real standards for screen sizes. Some are more common than others, but there are dozens of common screen sizes.
    The most common are...
    176x208 (same as 176x220, but with no status bar)
    240x320
    176x220
    [Getjar resolution stats|http://www.mobref.com/statistics/world/gDispResolution]
    Unfortunately, many phones are slightly more or slightly less than those. If you cover those, you're fairly well off though. If you can make your game resolution independent, that's your best option, though with intricate overlays it may be nearly impossible to do.

  • Image size and dimensions in Safari

    Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?

    Pat,
    You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
    1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
    2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
    For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
    I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

  • Reduce image size and print it out?

    I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
    I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

    > I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
    I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
    > It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
    You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
    I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

  • Checking Image Size and Dimensions

    How do I check the size of an image like a Signature or another image without having to save it and then checking it? Is there a way to check it in Safari?

    What? I don't see "Inspect Element" anywhere.
    Are there any plugins (perhaps at pimpmysafari.com) where we can add functions such as "Properties" for viewing image size and dimensions, as well as "View Image" to view the image by itself? I'm trying to convert from Firefox, but these are a couple of the things getting in the way.

  • Image size and format for IMovie

    I am trying to make a short stop motion animation in IMovie. I have made my images in Adobe illustrator. I transfer the images into IMovie as JPEGS.the images, which are basically line drawings, look sharp and clean but as soon as you watch them as moving pictures they become broken up.
    what am I doing wrong? does this have to do with my image size or format?

    iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

  • How can I add to page size and add crop marks?

    I have a 50 page pdf file, A4, RGB. There are no crop marks. I need to add 1/2" to each dimension on each page (centering the image, of course), add crop marks for A4 size, convert to CMYK, to make press ready. I'm having trouble with each aspect of this. When I expand the page size then try to crop to A4, Acrobat tells me that the crop marks may overlap the art and I should consider cropping. I click okay, get the crop window, and that doesn't seem to work either. I'd love to create an action to do this but I can't even perform any of the pieces of it!
    I am working on a PC, running Windows 7, Acrobat XI Pro CC.

  • How to Reduce Image Size and show upload Progress Bar

    i need to capture an image from the camera and send it to the server. however to reduce the amount of data transmitted i want to shrink the image and lower its resolution.
    I have code that currently does the following :
    UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"]; // this would come from image picker
    NSData * imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(testImage);
    // skipped code that showed URL string setup
    NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [imageData length]];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
    [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
    [request setHTTPBody:imageData];
    NSURLConnection *conn=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
    1. need some way to shrink the image size to reduce data traffic
    2. need some way to indicate a progress bar as data is being transfered to the server

    1. The size is visible in the metadata panel, set the dropdown to EXIF. In addition, in the Grid, with Ctrl-J, you can set the options so that you will see the cropped size in the rectangle surrounding the photo.
    2. You cannot, in one action, upload to multiple galleries. Each upload is its own action. I don't know if there is a plug-in to let you upload from LR to 500px in one action; clearly there are plug-ins for Flickr and Smugmug and several others. There should be no need to re-import. Normally, the plug-ins I mentioned will take a TIFF, resize it according to your directions, convert to JPG and upload.

  • How to check image size and 500PX upload action please!

    Hi,
    Two questions please.
    1. How do you check the overall size of an image in Lightroom 4 before exporting.  In Photoshop it is image/size so what is it in Lightroom please?
    2. I have Canon raw files and tiffs and want to upload to 500PX and other web site galleries in one action.  Is it possible?  How do you set up an action to convert an image, say a tiff, to a certain size and then save as a jpeg and upload to 500pX using the plugin all in one action?  At the moment I am saving the tiff as a jpeg to a correct size using a pre set, but then exporting to another folder ready to either manually upload or re-import to Lightroom as a jpeg then upload. Surely there is a quicker way than this?

  • Optimum image size for flexible cropping

    Hi,
    My clinets often order from the same photo 4X6, 5X7, 8.5 X 11 and even 11 X 14's. While I am happy with these requests, I wonder how you professionals (I am just an old retired widower using CS3 and LR to kill time) size an image during shooting so it will give you that flexibility to crop to different sizes.
    I shoot with a Nikon D300, mostly head and shoulder of friends and their friends. I started charging them when I realize how expensive it is to pay for ink and paper for my R1900 printer let alone the time it takes to go through Scott Kellby's touch up procedure.
    Any advise will be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Eddie

    Eddie,
    There is no ideal format for all of those sizes as they do not have the same horizontal to vertical size ratios.
    The easy answer is not to crop very tightly in the camera, so that you have a little extra background to accommodate the various crops you use. If you wish, you can draw some pen-and-ink frames on acetate or mylar to match the proportions of your prints, and place that over the LCD screen on your D300. There may even be commercial products like this.
    And, yes, you should be charging friends and family at least the costs of materials if you're doing more than a couple of prints.
    And if you're doing the photography and printing professionally (meaning: you get paid for the session), you should check on the going rate in your neighborhood and charge accordingly, even if you discount it for friends and family. Otherwise they will take advantage of you and your good nature. Why work for free?
