Load Movie and change size

i'm pretty green and like some help.
I want to load a movie clip and change the dimensions of the
clip at the same time- because my main movie is 765X750 and the new
clip is smaller. I want the smaller movie to play at it's native x
and y size in the projector. I can't work out the script to do it.
This is what I have but doesn't change the dimensions when it
loads.
on (release) {
setProperty("_self", _height, "400");
setProperty("_self", _width, "600");
loadMovieNum("intro.swf", 0);
Thank you.

The problem is when you load a SWF, the movieclip you're
loading into inherits the properties of the SWF being loaded into
it. As loadMovie happens after everything else has processed,
resizing the movieclip has no effect as it simply gets reverted to
the dimensions of the SWF loading in. What you need to do is run
the sizing code after the loadMovie has started and the movie has
begun to load.
I usually use a loader function that calls another function
when it's finished loading. The function can contain _x = ?? &
_y = ??. I also hide the loading movie or alpha it to zero and then
show it or fade it in when it's finished loading.

The fonts of my incoming email change, and change size. How to fix?

I have a 2009 27 iMac, with Lion.
In my Apple email, the fonts on some of messages change, from serif to sans serif, and change size.
How can I fix this?

1. Thanks.
2. I did as you suggested.
3. That did change some of the font to Arial in the incoming message.
4. However, the message now has copy in two fonts:
Arial, then Times, then Arial again, then Times again.
And the Times is much smaller than the Arial.
This used to occur with just one person's incoming email. Now it is starting to occur with several people.
(I now suspect that I accused the first guy of having a defective computer.)

How do I make a user shaped vignette move and change shape in Color

I want to isolate an irregular shaped area on screen by creating a vignette linked to a shape. The trouble is as the shape I want to isolate moves across the screen it changes size, orientation and shape. I know I can use keyframes when I'm using a round or square vignette but how can I track/keyframe a user defined shape?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Actually, I've sort of answered my own question. I've found out that having created a shape in the geometry room and attached it to a secondary correction tab, you can make the shape change shape, position and size. What you must do is to stay in the geometry room with the shape selected and then create key frames. At each keyframe you can alter the position of the points defining the shape. You can't however morph between different defined shapes.
Hope that makes sense!

Borderless movie and screen size

I have made a borderless movie skin (http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/borderless-quicktime-movies.php). But I am having great difficulty getting the video to fit on the screen correctly.
The video is 640x960. I want it to play on a borderless movie screen that is 275x413. When the movie starts the screen is 275x413, but the video doesn't even show up. I have tried EVERYTHING - fit to screen, full screen, I have rescaled the movie in the properties. I even took the original movie and resaved it at 275x413 so that it would be the exact size at the screen I am using. The results I get are just plain inconsistent. Sometimes the movie isn't on the screen. Other times it is offset (and yes, I tried changing the offset in the properties.). I have gotten it to work a couple times but not consistantly.
I simply want the movie to play at a certain size with no borders. Seems like an easy thing to ask for but apparently not.
I can drag a corner and resize it either. Apparently this does not work with out a border, I am going nuts with this. Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks in advance.

Hate to answer my own question, but I figured out a way to do what I want.
1. open movie file in QT.
2. Resize it and save.
3. Open file with skin movie (see link in my orig post).
4. then view < normal.
It basically fits it to the screen which is the exact dimensions of the movie. If I do not view<normal then the movie is offset I can not even see it. And resetting the offset does nothing.
If anyone has a better way (less steps) to get a borderless movie to resize and fit to screen, please let me know. This works but it is cumbersome.
Thanks.

Final Cut Pro exporting Quicktime movie and file size

I make short stop motion animations in FCP and usually when I export using current setting the file size is about 230MB for 60 seconds movie. However with the current project the exported quicktime movie file is only 32.1MB for 57 seconds movie. I don't think this is normal even though I set it with "current setting" and check off the make movie self-contained box.
How could I make the export setting back to normal so the exported quicktime movie will still be in high quality in a big file size?

Hi Ian,
it looks clear and same quality as usual. Maybe this is just how it is.
I am still worried because I exported another project to test and this one also is now exported into reduced file size. This is a 60 seconds movie and when I last exported, FCP created a 225.2MB quicktime file and when I exported exactly the same project again just now it is only 22MB... again, this is not self-contained movies.
To be honest with you I am really not familiar with digital settings, and I was trying to figure out export setting for a required file size and aspect ratio etc. for a projection the other day and it has been since then that my FCP started exporting smaller size QT files.
My project is in 4:3 ratio and all images on video sequence are digital still images. If you could kindly point out some places to look at to make sure that the settings are correct, that might be helpful (?)
thanks much!

Maintain pixels and change size

I need help trying to make web ready images in Photoshop.I can resample and maintain the pixels, but as soon as I change the dpi from 300 to 72, the size changes. How can I maintain the pixels and change the physical size? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly.
The customer in question requires the images to be used for the web and that
they have to be at least 1000 pixels wide. Is this not rather large for a
web image?

Using load movie and load variable

Ok i am having a problem with my movie... when i test it
using test movie it is fine but when i preview in HTML or run the
SWF on it own i am having a problem... and i spotted the items i am
having a problem with but problem is i dont know why.
i am loading a movie dynamically in my main movie using load
movie
loadMovie("menu.swf",_root.i_dress2.i_content);
and in the actual movie menu.SWF i am loading a text
dynamically using loadvariable... but i am actually loading it into
the movie that has already been loaded into my main movie... maybe
it i will make sense when you see my line of script that is in the
menu.sef movie....
loadVariables("menu.txt",_root.i_dress2.i_content.arg.maskedText.scrollpage);
so i guess it is like i am loadingthe txt into the text file
after it is loaded into the main movei so that is why it is
referring ot the text field that way...
anyway it works fine when i go thorugh test movie but when i
preview in HTML the text doenst come out...
am i doing this thewrong way.? is there something i am
missing?
Thanks...any help will be appreciated!!

Load movie and go to the specific cue point?

How can I load movie(1.swf) into the current file and make it go play the specific cue point (of the child's file)? Can someone please correct my code below?
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("1.swf",0);
// Seek to Cue Name Behavior
var c = vid.findCuePoint("second_start");
this.seekSeconds(c.time);
// End Seek to Cue Name Behavior

1. no code following loadMovieNum("1.swf",0) will execute.
2. it's not clear there's an flvplayback component named vid anywhere. if there is such a component, where is it? in 1.swf?

Compressor takes forever to load movies and settings

When I drag a movie into Compressor, or drag a setting onto a movie already in Compressor, it now takes a very very long time for Compressor to ingest it. This is happening both on my Quad tower and on my MacBook Pro. I totally wiped the MacBook Pro and reinstalled both the OS (10.5.6) and FCP Studio 2, then updated everything with software update. Problem is still there. Perhaps it is the way I exported the movies from Final Cut? I usually export reference movies to send to Compressor, this time, I did standalones because I want to save the HDV standalone movies for later use in BluRay projects (when Apple finally...). Any ideas? Your help is appreciated.

Wow! You are my hero of the week! Thanks so much, closing the Preview window before importing solved the problem completely. Now movies and settings import and set instantly.

Anyone else out there having issues with Apple TV loading movies and tv shows?

Taking FOREVER to load a tv show on the cloud...like 30 minutes. When I rent a movie it says it's going to take 8 hours. My internet provider says everything is ok on my end. I'm able to stream Hulu and Netflix through my Apple TV with no lag. Just taking forever when accessing Apple content. Had this problem last night as well and finally got better around 11pm.
Thanks!

I'm having vey similar problems. I can't stream anything from iTunes, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Mirroring isn't working and neither is photo stream. I'm logged into my account correctly and streaming using other devices is working just fine. My network download speed is comfortably over 10 Mbps. I've restarted my ISP provided modem, both of my routers, and the AppleTV more than once. I've also reset the AppleTV but no difference.
I recently updated AppleTV to 5.1.1 and used Photo stream since then, but this is the first tie I've tried the other things. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ACL's load time and changes

I have a couple bugs here that never really were as big of an issue as they
are now. The first I did post and comment on all the way back at the beta.
1. When applying a new rule to the bm server it takes a long time for
aclcheck to reload. Finding this is actually being caused from surfcontrol.
For some reason surfcontrol is being reloaded everytime the rules are
either applied or when they refreshing every 24 hours.
2. When a new rule or changing a ruleis being added and click apply the new
rule does not go into effect. If click apply again than the change goes
into effect. This can be especially troublesome with the aclcheck reloading
surfcontrol and slowing things down since proxy does not allow internet
while cpfilter is not fully up.
Thanks

Playing movies and changing format of DVD's with QT Pro

I bought QT Pro and I seem not to understand the instructions on how to open up DVD's and converting them for my iPod.

QuickTime Pro can't even play Hollywood (CSS protected) DVD's.
It also can't extract audio from muxed (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) formats.

IMac windows constantly moving and changing by themselves

My iMac is possessed. Windows are constantly opening and closing and changing size by them selves. Brightness goes up and down by itself. iTunes opens by itself. I can't select individual files in finder on the rare moments everything does stop moving. I updated software, plugged the computer, router, disconnected peripherals. I disabled the iPad from automatically connecting with the iMac. I changed to a wired mouse and turned off the key pad, still does it. Our iPad was doing it too, a few months ago and would play random music at odd times, really loud. Disconnecting everything worked at that time, but not now. Help!!

To be clear, when I say 'save', I mean select the 'Move To' Message menu pick. Further, the issue in question is the appearance (or not ) of an additional pick on the Message menu, to wit, Move to {folder name} Again ... And in all cases, in all tests, the folder named in the Move To process was the same one.
There is only one other user - my wife, who is afraid to even empty the trash. I did the test in that account as well, and it functioned the same as on my own account. On to the suggested Safe mode test.
Prior to shutting down, I had sent myself a test message, retrieved the mail, selected that message in the Inbox, pulled down the Message menu, and noted that the 'again' message pick was not there. I left that message in the Inbox and restarted in Safe mode. Then I selected the leftover message, pulled down the Message menu, and the 'again' pick was not there. I left the message in the Inbox.
Then I restarted normally, did the same sequence, and the 'again' pick was still missing. Hmmm. I sent myself a second test message, went through the process again, saving first the leftover message (no 'again' pick showed), and then the new second message (the 'again' pick had returned). So one thing I discovered was that the 'again' pick does not survive a restart, for whatever that's worth.
Then, realizing that there was another case, I started all over again. In Safe mode I created, sent, retrieved, and saved two messages in that one session. The behavior was as I have described - no 'again' pick while saving the first, 'again' reappeared for the second save.
