Is it possible to define the frame size when capture from MiniDV?

I am editing a series of tapes which I did not film and don't have the original camera. I am capturing it using my Canon ZR500. When I capture it the frame size is 720 by 480 (3:2). Is there any possibility that by using a different camera I could be inadvertently changing the frame size? (I can't see where I could but someone in this project thinks the aspect ration should be 4:3 - I can't see anywhere I could be changing it.)

I have just given this a quick browse but I think it just explains how to make slides match the frame size. I used keynote to make the slide - probably not the best but I don't have photoshop. But the principle should be the same?
But using an incorrect slide size shouldn't affect the aspect ratio of the final video should it?
After I create the .mov file from FCE I use MPEG Streamclip to produce an .mp4 version to upload to the internet. If I use Streamclip to view the stream info it still shows a frame size of 720 by 480.
Am I missing something?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Is it possible to specify the window size when using opendocument?

Does anyone know how to specify the window size for a child report launched from a hyperlink that uses opendocument? Is it possible?
I have looked all of the posts I could find and have not found anything that would work, please help.

So I have come up with the following URL based on the suggestions in this post, but it still isn't doing what I would like it to.
It does launch a smaller window but posts the child report in the same window. Is there something else I should do?
Thanks for your help.

How do i change the frame size in FCX?

I create short videos for an ecom website and and need the frame/canvas size to be vertical. It was no problem in FC7, I'd just customize the frame size in the sequence settings. There is no option in FCX that i can find. Someone told me that apple was telling people to use one of the standard sizes and then export it in compressor using the correct size - that makes no sense, as i need to edit the videos in a vertical format, including cropping and keyframing, to make sure that the project stays centered. Is there really no way to create a custom frame size? im just thinking about all of those web banner videos out there, and how they can no longer be created in final cut...

i actually initially tried this last week (creating a 'preset' in motion), and it basically 'works' but am i able to do everything with a compound clip that i can with a project? It seems like a strange work around and are there any downfalls to editing using this workflow?
the one thing i cant seem to do is select all of my compound clips from an event, and batch export them or send them simultaneousy to compressor. will i need to export each clip separately? that will tremendously effect our workflow as we generally take a batch of 50-60 movies and batch export them overnight.
Also since most of the videos are shot similarly each day, we always use 'paste attributes' to apply all filters, size and movement - but i dont see anywhere to do this in FCX. I see that i can copy and past individual attributes (a single color correction) but is it not possible to apply all of the characteristics of one clip to another?
thanks for your help!

Is it possible to change the frame rate of a motion template?

Motion has some very useful templates, but the majority are only offered in NTSC, not PAL. (including all in 3D TEXT PROJECTS).
Is it possible to change the frame rate to 25fps before I start adding my own stuff, so that I can easily get the timing right for a PAL sequence in FCP.
If not in Motion, how else could this been changed?

Try dragging all the groups from one project into another instead - you'll need to open both project and rearrange the windows so you can see the layers tab for both of them.

How do i undo my changes in sequence settings? (the frame size)

I have ran into a very frustrating problem. I have FCP 7 and my footage i am editing is HDTV 1080i. With this footage i have to change the frame size to 1440 by 1080 and in another instance i change it to another frame size. The problem is that i made a mistake with one of the frame sizes and i dont know how to undo the mistake. If i enter in a new frame size, the video will only add on to my mistake frame size instead of replacing it. The only way i see fixing this is redoing everything...but there has to be an easier way...any help?! Or am i unclear?

Select the clips that aren't filling the frame correctly, and then right click on one of them to select "remove attributes". From the dialog box that will open, select "basic motion" then click OK. This should take care of your problem if I'm reading this correctly.

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table?

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table? I have tried to change the various font size and weight settings for a table and its columns and they seem to have no effect on the font size or weight in a table row.

You would use skinning to modify font-size & weight for the table.

How to set the frame size?

Hi,
Can some one show me how to set the frame size in this program? History: I have created a window and added a button but its to small. So I want to increase the size of the frame to at least 600X400 pixel.
private static void showGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("ButtonDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Create and set up the content pane.
        Main newContentPane = new Main();
        newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
        frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }It would be nice if you could show me how to do it.
Thank you very much for reading this.

Simply adding
frame.setSize(new Dimension(600,400));to the end of your code should work perfectly.Or, if you want to do it correctly, .setPreferredSize() on your frame before you .pack() it. The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout, which uses the preferredSize of each component to calculate sizes during the .pack() call.

Is it possible to change the font size of the PO terms only in the email?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the font size of the PO terms only?
We are emailing PO and terms to the Suppliers.
Is it possible to reduce the font size on terms only so that the file size is smaller and easy to print on the supplier end?
TIA

Are we talking out Purchase Order PDFs here.
If you are mailing PDFs I think you can take a look at the XSL FO Stylesheet which is being used to generate the PDF for a PO.

Increasing the Frame size at runtime

hi
Iam using a JFrame and i have two JPanel on it.Iam getting the input from the user through the controls which is placed on the panel.I have two buttons namely "Calculate" and "Clear" on the Frame.When the user presses the "Calculate" button Iam doing some calculations based on the input given by the user and i want to display the output of the calculations on the bottom of the Frame by increasing the Frame size at runtime.How can i do it?.Suggest me also about the Layout to be used.
thanks

In the frame i want the controls to appear as
Panel1
Panel2
Button1 Button2 Button3
When i use BorderLayout for the Frame it appears as
Panel1
Button1 Panel2 Button2
Button3
Note:Iam using NetBeans IDE for developing the GUI.I do not know which property of
the controls to be changed so as to place the controls in NORTH,SOUTH etc
can u suggest me some other Layout so that my Frame will appear as mentioned above.I looked into the Layout Manager but iam not getting much ideas in this regard.Please help me...

Changing the frame size of a Quicktime image sequence

I need to create an image sequence of a short piece of video. I know how to make an image sequence using the Quicktime conversion, but I can't get it to export in widescreen 1920 x 1080. It keeps exporting the frame size of the images as 1440 x 1080. How to you change the frame size?

the original clip has a frame size of 1440 x1080 hence that is how it exports ... you must set the pixel aspect ratio in your image processing app to 1440x1080 then the footage should appear normal.
(in Photoshop that's the HDV Widescreen 1.333 pixel aspect ratio setting)
edit: or you could export a tiff image sequence using compressor and do the resize in there

How can i automatically change the frame size

hello everyone and have a nice week!
I have diary with many text frames per page and i want to change the frame size automatically on some of them because i change the font size. I tried find/change but on the object section there is everything but the frames size.
I hope someone has the answer to that otherwise its hours of work...

Frame fitting only works onthe last frame in a threaded set. I'm not sure that the auto fit feature in CS6 would help, either.
I'm not sure that I understand what it is you are doing, now that you've said the frames are threaded. Can you give us more of an explanation, perhaps some screen shots (blur the text if it's too personal, or add placeholder text for a sample).

Is it possible to define the frame size when capture from MiniDV?
