Letting effects extend past size of the video.

Hey guys, and thanks for trying to help me out!
I am new to After Effects, so if you can help me out, be as detailed as possible. Thanks!
This is a problem I've had multiple times, but it usually goes: I import a video (image). And I add some effects. But the effects don't affect the composition beyond the individual perimeters of the video.
Here's an example below:
When I added the blur and glow, it gets clipped off at the top because that's the size of the image. Which is weird because I'm applying it TO the image... so the entire image should be effected. However, it's getting clipped at the top.
Anyways, I was hoping there would be a way to "create a bigger canvas" like you can in photoshop where it just extends the canvas in whichever direction you need it to be extended. Hoping that will help. Or any ideas other than "just crop it to a super wide ratio... and let that be the video ratio".
Thanks again,
-Foster

Warp Stabilising footage after changing the size of the video frame size

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could resolve a problem I'm having with Warp Stabiliser in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. So I'm editing a video for a client and unfortunately a few scenes feature some camera shake, which don't look that aesthetically pleasing so I'm trying my best to get rid of the shake using Warp Stabiliser. I altered the frame size of the video from 1920x1080 to 1920x800 so I can have the 12:5 anamorphic look, however when I try to use Warp Stabiliser now a message pops up saying that it requires clip dimensions to match sequence and that I can fix it by nesting. I'm confused by this, I was wondering if anyone could help me by letting me know how to get round this, cause I would hate to have to do the entire video agin just because I altered the frame size. Thanks a lot.

For the warp to do its thing the clip needs to be the same as the sequence settings.
If not you get a warning like you have experienced. The only way to solve this is to nest the clip and then apply the warp to that nest.
On a side note i would edit everything in 1820x1080 and on export make it 1920x800.
For reference in your edit you can make a pillerbox matte in the titler.

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Can't keep the original size of the video (Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h)

I am importing .mp4 files set at 874 x 480h. Somehow AME makes the output size 640 x 480h, which significantly vertically compresses the video.
I tried so many different ways of uncheking the Rewsize Video box, checking it again and specifiying 874 x 480h. Best I got is 874 x 480h with black borders left and right and the actual video to be rendered in output tab is still at 640 x 480h.
It seems that Resize Video option is stuck on 640 x 480h and can not be changed.
Is there some bug in AME I have to work around? Or is it a problem with the original video? If the problem with an original video what exactly do I ask my client to rerender it like if I already receive it in 874 x 480h, can view/play it in this size, AME recognizes the original video to its true size, shows it to its true size if 1x1 pixel preview is selected. However will show a distorted 640 x 480h version if Aspect Ratio Corrected Preview is selected (even with the Resize Video box unchecked)?

Hi Marion,
Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

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,
Lois

I made a tutorial on this exact thing.

Apply effect to an area of the video - eg, blur a license plate

Hello,
Is it possible to apply an effect to an area on the screen? Eg blur a license plate or someone's face?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Yes it's possible to apply any effect on area of a clip only. Simply duplicate the footage in timeline, apply the filter and use a 4 or 8 point garbage matte to isolate the desired portion.
For blur/witness protection, there are many free plugins on the WEB that apply witness protection/blur on the clip like Andy's region blur:

Is there a limit to the size of the video file?

I am videotaping my son's soccer team and would like to put the video on the web. When I try to publish the video it goes part way and then stalls. I have tried to post it on my HD but it still doesn't work. Thanks!

iWeb doesn't care about videos. It happily displays it on a page.
If your video stalls, check the video.
Make sure you prepare it for the web.
Here's my explanation : Export/Save QT movie for web
So focus on the video. Not the webpage.

I can't control the size of the video boxes

Ever since I've updated to the newest version of skype, my video boxes have been acing up. it makes everyone very tiny and only enlarges them when they talk. It use to be able to enlarge each person when i clicked on them but i cant even do that anymore. how do i set it back to the way it was? thanks!

All you have to do is toggle between Dynamic and Normal view when on a video call to see if that adjusts it or allows it to make changes that you are used to. http://blogs.skype.com/2014/09/18/how-to-adjust-video-size-on-skype-group-calls/ If after that change, there is no difference, then the option isn't available in the release of Skype that you are using.

Any way to change the video frame size once imported into fcp?

I have an edit that was done with 2 cameras. I wanted to create a multiclip edit but the size of the video from the 2 cameras are different. One file is 720x480 and the other is 720x486. My sequence is 720x480. Is there a way to adjust the 720x486 footage while in fcp to match the 720x480 footage without re importing the footage.
Thanks

first determine what you want your sequence dimensions to be. 480 or 486. if it's 486 then just take your 480 clips and scale them slightly so they will the entire frame. if your sequence dimensions are 480 then you shouldn't need to adjust your 486 clips.the FCP manuals suggest that your footage will look better upscaling them with Compressor rather than in FCP. but it all depends on what your delivery is.

How do you increase the video size with a button?

I'm trying to set up a demo for a meeting. I want to show how
you can increase the size of the video.
Example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1532523169750528353
There are two buttons in the bottom right corner of the
player that will increase the video size.

I havn't tried this but I would thinkg that this could work:
If you have a video object on your stage (the object that the video
actually plays in) you could probably make a button that simply
changes the dimensions of it such as:
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_height, 240);
setProperty("theVideoPlayer",_width, 320);
The movie should adjust to fit the screen, however if you
make the movie larger than or a different aspect ratio than the
original, it will be blurred or distorted respectively. Make your
original movie, therefore, at the largest size you want it to be
seen. Keep the aspect ration the same always.

When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time. Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

I added titles to my iMovie project and when I preview it they show up. But when I Share--I tried downloading onto desktop and also uploading to You Tube, only the video part shows.

I haven't used iMovie in a long time and it's a newer version than I used in the past, so maybe I'm just missing something. I uploaded 2 clips and put both into the project section.
I put in a title at the beginning that I wanted to fade and I added additional titles in a different position to indicate certain things happening in the video. The first title bar appears as a big purple bar below the first clip. The additional ones appear as little purple bars above it. Eventually I wanted to take the big one out but when I deleted it, the video part also disappeared so I kept it but just took out the text.
Then when I dragged the second clip into the work area, it popped into the same line as the big purple bar. I just kept adding little title bars along that and that seemed ok.
When I previewed it all in the upper right box, it seemed to do exactly what I wanted to do. But then when I Shared it, only the second (larger) clip appeared and no titles appeared anywhere.
I'm sure I just put somethings in the wrong place and obviously I don't know all the correct language for projects, events, etc. Have I made any obvious mistakes that are easy (I hope) to fix?
I'm using Maverick and iMovie 10.0.3
Thank you!

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

How to delete the videos in Ipod and Itunes ?

Could you let me know how to delete the videos in Ipod application in my Iphone 4 to release more space ?

If you don't want the video on your iphone then uncheck the video in itunes and sync your phone. If you want it removed from both the phone and itunes delete it from itunes and sync your phone.

Why is Data Size in QT inspector twice the size of the file?

I am not asking this to save space. I am just curious. When playing a dv (captured from camera) clip, I notice that the QT inspector shows data size about twice the size of the dv clip size in file system. Is it because the dv is compressed and QT decompresses?
Actually, on clip in QT shows 22GB which is impossible to fit on a miniDV tape.

You'll notice that a DV Stream file has two tracks (audio and video) of the same size when viewed in QuickTime Movie Inspector or the Movie Properties window of QuickTime Player Pro.
Obviously the audio track shouldn't be the same size as the video track. There are separated from the single stream to allow editing.
